And these are all Li-Io
Dear mr Roger when you start to comparison 18v Combi Drills every video what you make you didn’t put in your comparison the best power tools on the world name “HILTI” Made by German I think you know very good German quality and you have to comparison HILTI power tool with every kind of tool what you want and I think HILTI will be the winner.
What do you consider 5 stars?
сказочный долбоеб,только услышал английский сразу понял что милуоки “типа”выиграл заочно.
“new brushless technology”
……. brushless motors have been around for for quite a while..
that is the compact Bosch 18v a great drill but it needed the 6.3 core battery for a more accrat test.
You also need to include Ridgid Drills into this competition. Ridgid is currently the only manufacture that offers a lifetime service agreement on their tools which also includes free batteries for the life of the tool when it is properly registered.
Which is high power & best Brand power drill in all the brands?
Metabo SB18LTX
SB–I’m a property manager and do minor repairs with ocasional larger repairs. I need a whole new Compact system. What system would you recommend? I was thinking of going non-brushless to save money.
Home depot will have a lot of black friday deals so I want to go with a system and stick with it. I’m debating– Rigid, Milwaukee, and Makita. What are they known for and how do they rate– quality, durability, and cost?
If you had to start with a completely new 18v system what would you go with in my situ?
Anyone else’ opinion is also welcome
I wonder what does a drill have to do to get five stars?
I use Makita and Milwaukee cordless tools and they have both been excellent. I’ve had no issues with the Makita batteries. They really do last a long time.
yes
you are testing the battery mate, at least have the same amp battery in
Would also like to see some more quality brands available in Europe. Metabo, Kress, Hilti, Fein etc. 🙂
are you drunk?
For the Heavy duty : Obviously HILTI
I have a Bosch and was well happy with it.i now have a makita 4.0ah with battery gauge which doubles up for my 36v hammer action.its da bomb…..
What about Ryobi?
You were comparing apples and oranges. If you are going to compare these 18v drills, you need to make sure that all of them have the same amp hour batteries installed. A higher amp hour battery will provide a higher amount of juice for a longer period of time.
the makita drill feautured in the review isn’t the top of the 18v line, the on showed at 3:40 is. What’s up with that?
yes
What do you make of Ryobi One combi drills?
nice toys but… HILTI IS THE BEST! 🙂
no craftsman?
No Porter-Cable?
Milwaukee all day baby!!!!;-)
No Festool drill. That hurts..
Get Narex 18V a try that out! 😀
Makita!
If your test didnt compare the same size Amp/hr battery in each brand, you basically compared apples to oranges.
um aeg?…….
why do you try all these different tests? If you do that your actually testing the driver head, the sharpness of a bit, the design of a screw…Just use one big drill bit brand new for each drill and run it till it quits…and your actually testing the battery not the drill, if you hook the drill up to a wall power source and run it till the gears and chuck and internal machinery fail…then you have tested it.
Hi Roger,
Great information my friend, thanks for posting!
Paul
hey in the pic in before the video starts you have a m12 fuel lol I know it doesnt matter
bloody hell the milwaukee m12 cost 400 bucks here , wtf
Very interesting. I had a brushed Makita 18V drill DDF456, not combidrilll. Battery also 3.0 Ah. Drilling a 40mm hole in wood was never a problem on one battery. And another time I had to drill about 30 or 40 24mm holes – one 3.0 Ah battery lasted for about 5-6 holes and while drilling the other battery would fully charge. One issue I had was that the chuck was somehow badly made – bits would not hold in there long no matter how strong I tightened it. And yes, it doesn’t have a battery gauge which is annoying sometimes.
DeWalt DCD785P2 not DeWalt DCD785M2
the milwauke is also much more expensive than the others.
Should have used all same sized batteries would have made it fair
subscribed, great vid, well presented, heavy duty non bias testing! superb.
Ridgid?
So many great drills out there. Ive had nearly every brand at some point. I prefer Hitachi and Kobalt. Bosch is a close third.

Most biased comparison I’ve seen.
How about comparing like for like?
That’s not even a general purpose Makita – it’s a light usage brushless, completely different category.
For the light duty : DeWalt DCD795M2 is the best choice
For the Heavy duty : Obviously Milwaukee
I wish I could give you 10 likes or more !!! Thank you!!!
