We Built a HP Dyno: Do M12 "1/3 HP" Die Grinders Really Beat Air?

- Our lifetime of TOOL RANKINGS now includes Die Grinders: torquetestchannel.etsy.com RA Air grinder: amzn.to/3gQKCHF M12 is currently $152 if you need cordless: amzn.to/3ESsANbstraight and RA w/ burrs: amzn.to/3gTaYsK
As always Torque who started this channel is working for Astro Tools who's 201 and 204 air die grinders were also included in this testing, though assuming a die grinder is healthy, most 1/3HP die grinders should make around this same power. It's all about durability, gear smoothness and ergonomics after that. So while these air models make more power compared to M12 CORDLESS, they in themselves aren't unusual in that regard.
People with our lifetime tool ranking would have seen Die Grinders added early this week:
I dig the right angle and after years of cordless I just don't see myself firing up the compressor and dragging out the headphones and air hose.
So glad to see this! I have both Milwaukee's and absolutley love them. The biggest difference for me is when you have parts washer solvent or brake cleaner on you hands from cleaning parts, the cordless electric grinders don't freeze your hands! I hate that about air tools. Also, for what it's worth, Milwaukee says in the directions to only use 2" accessories on these. When you were stalling it grinding the hub I saw you had 3" on it. I use it all the time with 2" Roloc abrasives and it works excellent. The air definitely has more power and better run time but the frozen hands and air hose mean I will never even consider going back to air now that I have these two Milwaukees. That's my $.02 at least. Keep up the great work guys!
Yes, Drill testing sounds awesome. Most reviewers just use a torque meter while screwing a big lag into wood. Also would be interesting to test the big 18v die grinders and see where they would stack up compared to air tools of the same rated capacity. I'm liking where this is going TTC.
Yet another means of finding honesty in tool sales, well done guys. Please continue to test more tools as they become available. Brands I'd like to see are IR, Aircat (130* especially), more Astro, truck brands. Thanks for continuing to innovate and bring us great content!
Have you considered calibrating your dyno against a reference output (e.g. an industrial 1/3hp motor)? This would allow you to compensate for the inefficiencies of the dyno's motor/generator.
HUGELY looking forward to drill testing. I have a DCD800 that has been a monster, but would love to see others compared!! Can we still measure drills in beans?
I own air die grinders and the M12 right angle. If I need the sustained power or heavy loads the air tools are the way to go. Since getting the M12 though, it is my go to tool. Takes care of most jobs well and the convenience factor is a win in my opinion. Thanks for sharing!
Really appreciate the great testing, with minimal or any bias. Thanks for the videos.
Awesome testing, always pushing the bounds of testing!
Im really excited about this rig, my main hobby is micromobility devices like ebikes and onewheels, ive already learned a ton from your channel and the hall sensor got me more amped than I expected. So excited to see what yall do with it in the future
Nice addition to the channel. Looking forward to see some 1HP die grinders such as the two from Capri.
Man I love this channel. I don't even use half this stuff, have all Ryobi stuff at home and def not a pro, but I just love this stuff!
Fantastic! Was just looking at die grinders the other day and wished torque test channel had tested them
I love this new testing setup n now I'm excited to see everything tested on the new rig
The amount of issues you ran into and still gave us a video on it is much appreciated
Can't wait to see what number you get torque testing cordless drills. The info out there isn't great or consistent and the actual vs advertised aren't even close! Should be fun! This is definitely the go to channel for a reality check!
Great video look forward to seeing more of these @Torque Test Channel
I just got turned on to your channel a few days ago and really like what you're doing. Subscribed!
Test the ryobi, especially with the 9AH because why not.
