12V Milwaukee More Powerful Than 18V? Head 2 Head Torture Test!
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 10. 06. 2021
- Do you really need 18 volt power tools or can 12 volts get the job done? I've been using the Milwaukee M12 line for my DIY projects so I'm putting my M12 Fuel hammer drill and impact driver against the M18 hammer drill and impact driver to find out! You've seen me use the M12 drill and impact driver on my DIY smokeless fire pit and when hanging string lights. These are the most powerful drills and drivers DIYers can get. Whether drilling holes or driving lag screws both of these platforms are absolute beasts. I pushed the M12 line far beyond what it is designed to do and it still impressed me.

Iâve ran m18 fuels for a few years and theyâve out performed anything else Iâve used! Finally broke down and just bought a 12v fuel set which is why I am watching this. This video is a perfect example of using the right tool for the job. 18v is good for install, 12v is more convenient for service and repair! Just my opinion as an electrician whoâs worked in residential, commercial and industrial settings.
That and sometimes the m12 can just get in some real tight spaces I feel
Bingo. I'm in residential HVAC service and the M12 line serves me well in SO many situations working in tight quarters. IMO, M18 is great for commercial and residential install.
So as an electrician myself. I am asking what you mean by the m18 is better for installs? Obviously useful for drilling wood studs, unibits, and large holes. However, in steel stud for the application of boxing, strapping, and even half inch holes with twist bits I think the m12 is more than powerful enough.
I use makita 18V and milwaukee m12 at work as a door installer. No doubt 18V tools are stronger than M12. But the M12 tools are overpriced and some of them are even more expensive than the 18V makita
@@pauljamilkowski3672I also do service(hvac)just bought the m12.way lighter than my 18v makita
I brought the M12 Impact into the shop and it was laughed at
Now: Everyone in the shop has the M12 Impact and nobody's laughing
I too was laughed at the jobsite. No almost everyone I know has M 12. From there a little SDS setting air conditioners to impact driving screws to compact bandsaw cutting strut. They are more than powerful enough for most work and they are so much lighter hanging off your toolbelt or working overhead. Yes I have a super Sawzall and an M 18 super hole hog. Sometimes you need bigger heavy duty to but most of the time you donât
@@kconnor2371 this was my thinking, ppl make fun of ya till their shoulders arent as worn down at the end of the day from not having 5lb of tool over their head
Total 2021 wood budget for this video: $7,000.00
3 weeks after... U can count twice
Lmao
Right đđđđ
Simple fact that the M12 is doing what the M18 is makes it the winner
I found that with the 18v. The cheaper bits do not hold up. I drill into a lot of masonry to mount anchors. I have found that when I first got it, I was destroying the tips off the bits. It has so much more torque and speed. The bits where glowing red hot and broke the masonry bit ears right off. Great drill and impact set. I am so glad they have improved to this point. The first tools were so under powered. The most popular tool was the Makita drill. They were hard to kill. We had to carry a Milwaukee corded hammer drill to back it up for the tough drilling. We did beat them pretty hard also. I have always like the corded drills. Now it seems they have worked out the bugs over the years. They are a great set. Would recommend to anyone on the fence. Since we use ours every day for work. I actually use both a hammer drill and a standard drill on some projects together. This helps to keep from changing bits and cuts down on time. They have become more job specific with the battery setup. Keeps down on the weight for handling the tool all day. I keep some of the 1.5ah batteries for that. Which is nice for the flashlight also. I have found it helpful to have a variety of batteries. I currently carry 1.5, 3 and 5 ah batteries. I have two of each with two chargers. I have not run out of charged batteries on a project yet and help so keep them charging quickly. The tools are well worth the money.
18 volt Milwaukee is like a 7-11 being open 24 hours. I don't need a slurpee at 2am. I just need the option to have a slurpee at 2am.
Oh. I like what you did there. đ
exactly
LOL! well said sir!
These 12v drills are perfect for carrying under a house as a plumber to hang straps for drain lines etc. Super convenient and lightweight when having to drive screws laying on your back or stomach
I'm not a milwaukee guy but I really enjoy u trying out all these things, I appreciate your time and effortâ€
I have the m12 and the spade bit, I figured it was going to super struggle. Then when you got to the forstner bit Ive had 18volt drills that couldn't handle that in 1st gear.
I'm so glad someone knows the difference between a lag bolt and a lag screw great review man
This is painful to watch when the guy doesn't know to manually tighten and lock the chuck.
Having said that, I own a large amount of M12 tools and Makita 18V.
There is a HUGE difference in power once you start going over any bits that are half inch.
Thank you !!!
Amen!
Was thinking the same thing
LOL make me laugh, with all that best tool behind him, not surprise he cut his hand seeing that he don't know how to tighten even the bit, hope that bit not strike him, like saw.
Lol at work I tested both and youâre exactly on point, anything over an inch is basically not going to go well. Just get the m18 for anything over 1/2-3/4
The fact that he has a whole workshop filled with wood, nails, screws, wood, and a whole lot of various tools makes this video so much funnier. Imagine how many years he has been screaming at his keyless chucks for dropping bits đđ without discovering the ratcheting function of a keyless chuck
Yes, this video was painfull to watch
Bit tragic agreed đ
đđđ
I could not agree more. Novices!
My M12 Fuel are My Favorites as Well! but got the M18 Fuel for a just in case situation! this is one of my favorite videos on the entire CZcams Platform! Love this video!
While I wonât argue that 18v is more powerful, Iâm an electrician and I use m12 impact and drill at work every single day. Serves my needs just fine. About the only thing I really need an 18v drill for is hole saws. I run the surge impact though because itâs a lot easier on the ears. It crazy how much quieter the hammer is on it.
I got the m12 surge impact and I've framed 100s of lineal feet with no prob...so many ppl like how it sounds like a toy but it gets it done!
Perfect vid for Fatherâs Day! Thanks
I have several examples of both the M18 and M12, the main difference is power, if I have a simple task I'll use the M12 because of the weight, but when power is required, I'll used the M18... an example was putting long screws into 2x4 stock, the M12 could start the task, but didn't have enough power to force the boards tight, when I switched to the M18, not only did the gap disappear, the screw was counter sunk into the wood.
Thanks, helpful comparison
I have M12 tools, I got them for the smaller size and ease of handling. If I needed the added power of the M18, I use a plug in tool. I have the impact driver, hammer drill, reciprocating saw, multi tool, 3/8 ratchet and 3/8 impact wrench. They have been great tools, very ergonomic and reliable.
Same here...my M12s cover just about everything I need and if not I use my corded tool.
@@WolvesHart79 The only thing they miss is an m12 wood planer. That would be amazing, I was surprised Milwaukee doesn't make one.

using drill bits on an impact driver is AMAAAAZING!! Especially on the paddle bits.
honestly they are great
Perfect timing! Getting ready to snag some of these.
You won't be disappointed.
I'll always choose m12 for the impact. The m12 drill is also good, but for certain tasks I'd rather have the m18 drill.
Great video but when you tighten down Milwaukee chucks donât hold it and spin the drill to tighten it, thatâs why your bits kept falling out if you spin the chuck by hand with the drill off there is a ratcheting system that gets the chuck super tight. On a side note the m12 is great for light duty but for large paddle bits and hole saws the m18 is the top dog
After you ratchet it tight by hand you can go back slightly the other way until you hear a click and your bit is now locked into place
@@bartholomewgreatpants3425 Fake news
WRONG. Turning the chuck back until it clicks UNLOCKS IT. Go watch AvE's video about this, he breaks down the patent drawings and everything. STOP PERPETUATING THIS MYTH. IT DAMAGES CHUCKS.
@@leaf5073 nope. That's incorrect. The locking system is true, you can fell it cam over when you twist the chuck back. That's locking the jaws. I've spoken to Milwaukee repair agents and they confirmed this. I trust them more than a guy on CZcams
Milwaukee Chuckâs just canât hold bits no matter what just a problem with them .
Thank you, good test!
The 2 bigger bits were wrist twisters đłđ, fun video Adam, canât wait to see the upcoming projects đđ keep them coming đđ», have a great weekend đđŒââïž
Thanks! You too!
I have both these sets, like yourself I started with the 12v Fuels and absolutely love them. For most of what I do they are more then powerful enough, however there was a few times where I was pushing them to and yes beyond there limits. So like yourself I upgraded to the 18volt set along with an 18v sawzall. Now I don't think there is a job I do that these tools can't handle.
đđ
How come you never lock the chuck until it clicks? Think you might find that's why the bits keep spinning and falling out!
Just what I was thinking
Yeah man. That part hurt. He didn't ratchet a ratcheting chuck
with milwaukee you tighten the bit until it clicks a couple of times then go one click back and that will lock it in place...... milwaukee is smart
Or that's why he keep "losing" bits
@@jonathan5314 "one click back and that will lock it in place" I had no idea about that part thank you lol
I'm a cable guy, so I'm driving screws to hold up wires, occasionally drilling into concrete for small anchors, etc. I've been carrying around an M18 on my belt but it's getting a bit heavy...I think I'll do the M12! It's incredibly powerful for being so much smaller.
Got an M12 5o replace an M18 that someone stole off my site. They were out of 18's at Depot when I went. Had no idea there was a push button to change speeds on top of the M12 impact driver. I thought it straight sucked at first, and let it bounce around in the truck for a few days. It changed the speed to 3 and I was stunned...then realized there was a light on top of it with a button...such an idiot. Great power, and the batteries are nice to have for my jacket during colder days.
Cable guy as well. Honestly the only thing I break out the M18 for is hammer drilling 3/8"-1/2" holes in stone/concrete/brick walls, I live in an area with a lot of old farm houses with river rock and heavy stone foundations, or any hole needing to be longer than 6" (and even with this if they made 7/16" bell hanger bits that were 12" long with a 1/4" hex drive I'd use those with the M12). Everything else can be done with the M12 impact driver. Screw clips? M12 Impact. Wall plates? M12 impact with replacement screws (because he ones that come with wall plates are trash, I mean seriously who decided on slotted screws that strip after the most miniscule amount of force?). Anchor holes in literally anything? M12 impact with a 1/4" multimaterial bit. That M12 impact has replaced my old beat up Ryobi electric screwdriver, my M18 impact, and my M18 hammer drill (for specific applications). This is all with the 2A battery too, I have a 4A but I just find I don't need it and the 2A fits in places better.
I mean who wants to be carrying an M18 up 20-28' to drill a pilot hole for an anchor or drive in a few screws? I don't anymore. M12 fits in the pouch with my other tools so I don't have to worry about missing the clip and I'm not fiddling with chucks and bits up top in wind, rain, and all other kinds of crap. It was easily the investment I appreciated the most. I'm tempted to try using the M12 hammer drill for the larger holes, but just don't know if it'll have the grunt to drive a 26"x1/2" masonry bit through a stone foundation.
Great reviews video,
Thank you
Great video man! Anecdotally at least The CP batteries provide the best performance to size ratio and have 21700 cells in them which allows more power to be pulled from the battery at a given tim si always go CP3 if possible, aside from the high output 6.0, 8.0 & 12.0 HO batts. In general itâs alwayss safer to go with CP and high output batteries
Thanks for the video!
love this review! been looking for a comparison in the milkyway 12/18 range for a while.. ive watched lots of reviews but where im domestic sparks im thinking to go m18 combi for hole drilling metal/wood and go m12 impact but also have m18 hammer/chisel drill
I love how with the 1 inch paddle 12v heâs canted the whole time and itâs still digging that only makes willwakee look better
YESSSSS!!!! Been waiting for someone to doing this!!!! đ but 4 months to late. I already bought the m12.
You are my new favourite CZcamsr đ I have so much to learn and your videos are really helpful
I bought an M18 screwdriver in 2017, and I find it very strong; later a screwdriver, M18, but without impact, the second one is too big and too strong, so I think about buying the M12.M18 is cool, for holes in wood, metal, but for what I do, M12 or any additional accessories is enough on 1/4 inch. cool episode đđ PS. smaller is often weaker ...
I love my M12 tools and will buy more !!! I never need to drill inch hole in 4X4 lol... and for lag screws I always pre-dill !!!! You can split wood without pre-drilling. And I use my m12 Stubby anyway.
Who doesn't love running powertools? Great video!
I have the 18v set it's an impressive beast, to much of a beast for some jobs so just bought the 12v set for lighter/smaller jobs, arriving Thursday, I don't get excited about much but.....
I GOT A NEW DRILL COMEING!!! đđđ
†MILWAUKEE
From South Wales pembs!
I drill holes with a Milwaukee drill and hole hawg all the time at work yet still watched this entire video.
I'm glad you did! đ
Interesting comparison.
That 12 volt sucker pretty dam impressive compared to the 18v.
Ah of the battery also helps if working on large projects.
To me, the 12vs come into thier own on smaller limited space projects.
Whereas the higher torque of the 18v whilst good on bigger stuff, can sometimes be too bulky into tight spaces.
Another point to add.
It does seem, if you worked a 12v like an 18v it may wear out quicker, and long term an 18v may last longer being ever so slightly under-worked compared to the 12v.
Couple years ago had to build some wooden scaffolding to fix an elevated frozen sash window.
Using a DeWalt 12v with 2ah battery constantly screwing 3" screws approx about 20/30 of them.
Battery lasted 20 minutes.
The top/end of the drill got so hot couldn't hold it even with gloves lol.
Dugga Dugga!
Team America; f.... Yeah
Xactly, and what many don't get!
I do a lot of cabinetry and fine carpentry and for those applications the M12 set has been amazing, I'm even able to get winter rusted lug nuts off the car with the impact gun.
Obviously if you're in a more heavy duty type of trade then the M18 set would make more sense, both great tools though!
I run a set of m18 fuel drivers/drills. The impact driver is awesome. The drill is very powerful but clunky and I've never liked the chuck. I this the m12's are good for about 80% of what I do, and I'm looking to add a set for myself. Very tempting package.
Hey man; great video but the m12 was on self tapper mode for a few tests.. if you has it on 3 would of been a different story
Just got my gen 3 m12 and itâs impressive
I have been wondering if the m12 impact would be good for cabinet installs. Driving 3" interior install screws. I currently use DeWalt atomic drill and driver
6.2 lbs vs 3 lbs... I have both. I use the m12 drill and driver to mount boxes on to concrete block. Those stay on my tool belts but sometimes I need to drill a large 2 inch hole into concrete block. I would not carry around the m18 with 5ah battery on my tool belt. Use the correct size tool for the job.
Drilling through a 4 x 4 at todayâs wood prices is just flonting your money. Show off. đ

@@mrniusi11 ok thanks Kyle.
I have the m12 fuel impact gun, impact driver and combi drill and they do exactly what I need
What I'm buying the M12 for is for tight areas and the m18 for my daily driver.
I worked in a shop that made AC units for data centers I always looked down upon m12 but now I see the value!
Looking back there's been times where I'd rather sacrifice power for compact multiple times a day for the longest time all I valued was power.
Lmao. I do chiller hvac work and m12 is fine 90 percent of the time. I have the hex and the 3/8 stubby.
Itâs not that often that I have to use m18.
With the impact ive found drastic difference even driving decl screws using a 2ah vs a 4ah. On the drill not soo much.
The m12 fuels are what I grab now and I love em.. im not in the trades etc but they just feel less bulky than my Ridgid/Kobalt 18v counterparts

Iâm just amazed at how well the M12 compares to almost any 18 or 20 volt tool, especially with the 6 amp battery.
By the way, the 6 amp battery provides more power in most cases.
That's probably why my drill is weak. I don't have good batteries.
@@dangrimes5078 Or itâs just a weaker drill. They all have a torque rating.
the six amp hour battery has known issues with its longevity, unfortunately
I don't have the 12v Fuel but the non-fuel drill has a torque limiting feature that protects the motor/battery. It turns the drill off and you have to release the trigger to reset. It can be a huge pain in the *** at times!
All quality tools have this
I'm no expert, but from my personal experience I can say that the xc batteries (at least on the m12) have more power. You can definitely hear the rpm difference between the two different batteries. My scientific take on this is that because the larger xc batteries have more cells in them, they can distribute the load more evenly between the individual cells, which causes less strain/draw and more rpm due to the amperage draw being more equally distributed. Once again, I have no idea, but it sounds good to me...lol
As an electrician. Yes simply having more amps through the extra batteries will fove you more power Va
The load is split between the two sets of cells, therefore there is less voltage drop or 'sag'. So higher voltage, proportional higher current therefore significantly more watts of power.
Correct. Twice and many cells in parallel can supply twice the current.
I just bought an M 18 fuel combo kit with a hammer drill and a surge impact along with two batteries a 12 V and 18 V charger and a hard case offer like $220 or so.
Link to kit you speak of, home depot offering?
I love how nobody on CZcams knows how to lock a chuck I feel like itâs top-secret at this point
Tell me about it. Lol crack it a whisker back once tight đ not manny people know đ
The lack of tightening and locking your bits in the chuck was a bit frustratingâŠand you can add the handle to save your wrist a little
I was going to comment the same thing, about the tightening/locking and handle to save wrists.
Be sure to hand tighten the chucks please to prevent injury and bits flying out.
I donât think I realized your name was Adam and Iâve been watching for a couple months now. I donât know why Iâm commenting about it, but it seemedâŠ.noteworthy.
very good thanks
Why would you set the power drill to drill function when you're driving in screws? Should it not be in screw /driver mode?
For daily user, M18 is your choice.
Being a non-daily user, I have a full set of M12 torque rachet, drill driver, impact gun for DIY mechanics. M12 Hammer drill will be my choice on top my M12 batteries and charger.
Thanks for you guidance, always glove and safety glass.
Lost the paddle bit on the first pass⊠impressive Milwaukee!!!
TL;DR: More Ah doesn't directly mean more power, but a smaller battery could limit your tool's ability to pull power from the battery.
The capacity of a battery doesn't change the power the battery can deliver. HOWEVER, for power tools, a bigger battery usually means more "rows" of batteries. A row consists of a couple of cells that are put in series. This increases the voltage from roughly 3V per cell, to a total of 12V or 18V. Now to add more capacity, you need more cells, but you can't put them in series, since that would increase the voltage, so they put the next row parallel with the previous one. When cells are hooked up parallel, they increase the amperage, which in turn can make your tool more powerful (or really, a smaller battery can make your tool less powerful, the max power is always determined by the tool, not the battery).
To simplify, have three guys of the same size carry the log ten miles or 6 guys of the same size carry the same log the same distance. Not necessarily adding more power, but distributing the load and allowing more work to be done for a longer period of time.
Also the rpms and in/lb of the M18 drill probably double M12 due to smaller battery.
@11:10 pilot hole... It's called a pilot hole. Not pre drill
â@@RandyMarsh0301 First of all, you're replying to the wrong thing, mr. "expert". Secondly, pre-drilling and a pilot hole are two completely different things. A pilot hole is a thing, pre-drilling is an action. Those can exist side by side.
Also, it's not "cAlLeD" a pilot hole, that's just something that some people call it. You can call it a pre-drilled hole, poopsicle, whatever you like. Don't be so pedantic, it's just sad.
@@timderks5960 Wow someone is angry. Are you ok now? You got all that off your chest? Have a Kleenex (or facial tissue if Kleenex offends you) and just breath.
Hey Adam,
Do you know the trick to tighten your chuck then back it off until it clicks to lock the chuck? May be helpful for these types of tests in the future. I love your channel. I spend my time watching usually with a huge smile. Keep it up.
I canât believe I didnât know that. Thanks!
Wow nice. Just tried this on my makita 18v.
@@HAXMAN you hadnât heard of it because itâs BS internet tales
Backing it off only unlocks the chuck
@@Meowface.itâs literally one of the features of the drill. Turn back to lock. Dewalt does it too.
@@gianfrancofettuccini nah⊠it literally doesnât

Finally a comparison video! Looks like m18 is a beast
I was gonna get upset that the bits were never put in the chucks right but he's missing 20% of his hand because of a chainsaw lol you get a pass
Ive tried the m18 fuel set from a coworker and it felt exactly the same as my normal m18.
Use high output battery you were probably using normal battery on it lol
Who doesn't like a clean hole đ
Awesome video đ
Lock your chuck the correct way and you will stop losing your bitsâŠtighten all the way, then loosen the chuck 1 âclickââŠyou will save your chuck in the long run
Man, I've never used the M18 stuff but I LOVE my M12 tools... I'm an accessories fitter at a dealership for 4x4's so I'm working with brand new bolts/screws, the M12 stuff has PLENTY of grunt to deal with the thread locked, factory tightened bolts. Awesome stuff, I've not once thought, hmm I need more powerful tools. ( I use the M12 multi tool, die grinder, 3/8 Stubby, and 1/4 impact driver... and a couple different heated M12 jackets/vests..)
M12s look surprisingly good
I love my Kobalt 24volt impact, and drill
One day, you can buy real tools. It's OK. đ
I got both those sets. Use them daily
I like the M12's because they are less expensive and smaller and lighter. I can load up my tool box and my tool belt with m12 drills and impact and the batteries are much smaller and i have a bunch of them. M18 is great and sure more power ...but if I really need power then a plug in tool is the way to go for me.
This is why I love my makita 18V...đ
Do this test again but use the 6.0 HO on the M18 and the 6.0 XC on the M12
Tip for ya, do the chuck up tight then gently turn the chuck back and you feel it lock. Stops the bit sliping â€ïž
Donât believe everything you see on the internet. This is false.
I love my 1/2â 18v impact. You remind me of the actor John C Reilly
Yes! Nailed it. A lot of guys say âdude looks like russel Croweâ I thought Jon c Reilly yeaaa!
Got to have both
Amazing and lovely power tool... I have Milwaukee M12 FPD-0 (Asia version), the power is almost similar to Dewalt DCD7781... It's really small red devilđđŒđ€©
Great videođđđčđč
I like the m12 3.0 compact batteries just like 2AH but more power! But the 6AH is awesome
Anyone else notice the 12v 1/2 paddle test involved the 12v going straight into a knot in the 4x4 about 2/3s the way through and slowing...
DEFINITELY not a professional test.
That snark said, I really do like to see these little guy Vs Big Guy showdowns.
I learned today that the M12 needs to be on speed 1 for larger bits.
Be careful and always take care of your own safety, even that is still the cordless type (DC), not the home electric type (AC). Because I've experienced finger injuries from a 7 inch Makita circular saw with full power, luckily because the reflex pulled my hand and it didn't break, but it was quite a deep wound on the finger. OMG..
12 volt driver / drills are great up to about a # 6 wood screw and then there just isn't enough torque to handle the larger diameter screws .
Fortunately i convinced my wife that i needed both a twelve volt and an 18 . She actually didn't buy my argument but when i started to shake from new tool withdrawals she took pity on me and let me buy both .
đ
Whenever my dad gets mad enough at a project he just gets out the corded drill from the 80's. That thing can drive a 3" forstner through hardwood. As long as you can hold onđ.
lol, another comment in the archives. Looking around for M12 stuff; figures you have a video for it. My sons (10 and 7), are finally into woodworking, but an 18V Ryobi with a 4ah battery weighs about as much as they do. Time for compact/subcompact. Took the plunge and got an M12 kit (with bonus battery).
Not my best work. đ
@@HAXMAN - but edjumacational, which is the important thing. I mean, not a snowballâs chance in hell Iâm letting my sons near bits that big (12 year old daughter, maybe; them, nooooo way), but good to know where the limits appear to be.
I have burnt up 3 of the fuel 18v drills 2 of the brushless 18v impacts and 2 m12 drills but still have the same m12 fuel impact well built.also for some reason Milwaukee canât keep a bit.
I have a bunch of M12 tools. And then the M18 came along and made them look, amateur. Both good sets of tools but just buy into both and be done with it. M12 for light duty. M18 for heavier-than-light duty.
I have the M18 Impact driver and the M18 Mid torque wrench along with a few other M18 things but I think the impact driver is my favorite tool ever.
The M18 (non Fuel) one handed hacksaw is probably my 2nd most useful power tool.
Pair it with some Diablo blades and I haven't found anything I can't cut with it and it gets into some tight spaces.
TL;DR most modern power tools - bigger battery more power !
most modern power tools do get more power with higher capacity batteries, lithium cells have a Discharge Rate usually specified in C, say the cell is 1.5Ah and discharge rate of 1C, you can pull 1.5Ah x 1C=1.5A from the cell, say its 20C, you can pull 1.5Ah x 20C = 30A from the cell, then you add more cells in parallel (increasing the battery capacity) say instead of 1 row you put 3 in parallel it triples the current you can pull from the battery, meaning you can pull 60A (with previous example) and this counts. tools an batteries have electronics in them monitoring the currents and voltage to protect the tool and the battery, so if the m12 shuts off when it binds its because the 2Ah battery told it to cut the power because it cant provide more current, the 6Ah battery would of had 3 times the limit of the 2Ah, of course you need to take into consideration the amount of current the tools motor can handle, that why the tool and the battery constantly "talking to each other", this is why its very important to match a tool with a battery to get the most out of it, there is a video on youtube of a guy using the m18 12Ah battery on the m18 driver or impact and its just shuts off when he pulls the trigger because the tool is overwhelmed with the amount of current is gets (also an engineering fault) also bigger batteries are better for battery performance and overheating, when you are really pushing the tool - with bigger battery the battery can push more amps and run cooler.
If you roll the chuck back after being tightend, in each drill it will lock all bits into place
Just a word of advise Chuck the bit it turn it all the way to the left till you hear the small clicks. Then barley rotate it back to the right one click and it locks the bit in
Oh yeah, start off with the Robertson square drive head. The ultimate in screw driving technology! None of that âstupid star bitâ shenanigans.
You must be Canadian like me . . . long live Robertson square drive, the best screw driving system ever invented!
CZcams! Why doesnât this video have a million views already????
đ€đ Thanks!
@@HAXMAN I agree! I love him! He is a combination of AvE and Project Farm!
Nevermind, he had square drives. Fing canadian
I didn't know you name was Adams, so is mine. I like you now
Im drunk sorry
Good lord my wrists and arms hurt from watching you with those hole saws and paddle bits! Fun video! :)
You need to tighten the chuck by hand pretty much til you can't anymore
Then lock it by turning it back a whisker after its tight, you feel it lock. Test it you will know what i mean.
