Tool companies need to start refining them on the professional end and divert the power away from the user in terms of vibration. Its becoming a big thing here in the UK. Many contractors I work for are now starting to limit the number of hours you can be exposed to vibrations and impact drivers and wrenches are some of the worst tools we use for HAVS risk.
I’m an amateur and was messing around with an angle grinder for the first time. An old corded one. I spent less than an hour using it, and my hands spent the rest of the day feeling really wrong, under weird pressure, etc etc. It was scary. I’m glad that people who use this stuff all day long are getting some rules about ensuring they don’t get long term injuries.
@robertrada4783 Makes no difference. I use Makita daily for work and they're some of the worst offending tools. AVT tools help but they still score highly in terms of vibration output.
@@gf2e Advice is to use such tools in short bursts and reduce overall use as much as possible. Hand arm vibration syndrome can be really serious if exposure is prolonged.
The AEG is what I use for all my pocket hole work - never had an issue in building cabinetry. I like the platform for the sub compact range but their pricing is just a little high for what you are getting.
I have the Milwaukee gen 3 the makita Japanese made xdt09z a couple of dewalts but right now my favorite is the Hercules brushless compact which probably isn’t available there but it’s a beast.
I have AEG. The Best. Value for money, Build, & quality. Their framing nailers are awesome free air, with a little nozzle on the side. their tools are amazing.. I have pretty much the whole collection. Too they are so aggressive with the deals.. they give you so many redemptions and bonuses
I've got the Milwaukee and really love it. The screw mode takes a bit of getting used to in soft material but found that if you pull the trigger half way it works fine. I've found between the Milwaukee and Makita td173 pretty much covers what you need in an impact driver
I use to like ryobi until they changed their product colour to vomit lime green. Thanks for reviewing the ryobi bug zapper Mr Tool. Bought one after your review. The zapping noise startles when you forget the zapper in the room.
would love to see you add in some ozito stuff as an outlier now it is rebranded Einhell. Not that Einhell are great. But I'd say it's now on par with Ryobi. I use an older AEG impact driver with no modes. It's pretty good but the price difference now between AEG and Makita is too small. Especially when they do stuff like platic bodied trim routers for $289 when you can get the metal bodied Ozito for $119.
I've never considered ryobi to be a good tool and more of a gimmick tbh. they look horrible to start off with, and that even the local scumbag wouldn't steel if i left them at my front door. where as i would consider AEG to be a more budget friendly choice with plenty of grunt!! for the semi pro user. Now as for the Milwaukee, Thats a whole different ball game being that i would not use or buy without the full perks, full beans One Key feature. btw my daily driver sort of go to is the new DTD173 Import in blk that i finally have. Because i love the features, look, light halo ring, modes, size, weight. anyway can't wait to see the bigger picture impact driver video your planning. bring it on Tools :)
Ryobi has some needed improved batteries on the way, tabless 21700 cell batteries. I really appreciate Ryobi's line of tools, but just not for a tool I use often or need the highest performance from. They do make some interesting niche power tools and are often available at great deal prices. A good value tool line to complement a higher end line.
I run Ridgid but i do buy Milwaukee stuff also. I have been disappointed with all my ryobi stuff accept 1 tool. Even their bits have been letting me down. So i buy only diablo and Milwaukee bits and attachments.
Hey, So i need mine for like once a week handyman jobs(small jobs like installing a gate etc) i was going to go ryobi to get a 8peice kit for the same price as a 3peice AEG kit... im now thinking im better off AEG for power and reliability then just upgrade to a bigger kit when needed? Any advice ? For comparion theres a ryobi 8 piece kit for $700 aus, then AEG 3peice for $500 aus.
That Ryobi in North America is rated at 2200 in-lbs or the equivalent of 248Nm. That's way less to what it's rated for elsewhere. In a typical Ryobi fashion even those 248Nm feel overrated
I have the Makita xgt ones. But have also use the Milwaukee ones. Personally I've found the weight and size of the batteries to be a pain the Milwaukee. The Makita one just feel better in the hand and more balanced
For 18 years I used Ryobi in my scene shop (i teach drama in an american high school) because it was the least expensive option. My admin offered to buy us some new tools and so I asked for Milwaukee. And the difference is incredible. I'm never going back.
During the years I acquired various iterations of the Milwaukee impact driver, from BID, BLID, FID and currently even a FID2. The first 2 are hardly used anymore as more often then not they are not quite up to the task. At the construction site Makita's were commonplace and although capable, the handling of the MWK felt always so much better. I now use and own MWK M18 exclusively.
wow a bonus video, thanks :) can't wait for the large comparison 😁

That’s why there’s such a thing as Makita and Hilti. ;)

Y'all are a special kind of p**say on that side of the pond aren't you?

I have the rigid version of that AEG driver, I really like it but it's loud AF. Bought the milwakee surge for that reason alone.

The crew mode is for self-tapping screws into metal surfaces
@@Laubz maybe but you'll find if you use the trigger appropriately you'll be able to screw into soft wood and some plastics as well

Scared the shit out of me last night.
Would be lovely to include the festool impact in this upcoming comparison, but its spendy so might not be worth it

are you able to do a festool impact driver as well

Im going to be a Makita man until the day I die. Only buy Ryobi for their interesting products
Apprentice tradesman 😂 I did see an apprentice turn up with an AEG impact driver and 8Ah battery…he bought some slightly better Dewalt no long after

So you’re saying new Milwaukee is way better than 18 yo Ryobi stuff. Incredible.
I own all three brands and a few more. I prefer metabo htp or hikoki. You cant beat the ergonomics💯
I have All 3 of them MILWAUKEE with a FORGE Battery RIDGID with 8 Amp EXP battery RYOBI with 8 Amp 21700 Battery
Looks like that Ryobi might have been on auto mode?
When?
See these 3 brands in a Framing Nailer Showdown czcams.com/video/vmigX1PeQFM/video.html
AEG are trade quality tools mate. Also they are the best value for money and have the best deals. Also they have a 6 year warranty. Cheers
Would the Ryobi perform better with an HP battery?
5:22 where are your safety jandals!
They were in the wash. Safety Makita socks are the next best thing.
@@BuildsStuffIt will be another ten hundred light years before Makita USA releases the safety socks so I’m still on jandals here.
The tool that costs twice as much (if not more) is almost always going to be better
It costs more for a reason lol
That's like saying a Ferrari is faster then a Honda Civic with a computer....it's not.
I dont need to watch this to know whose the best. Milwaukee is a no brainer
Your Milwaukee is a knockoff. It didn’t come in the same box as it does in America.
Correct, ours doesn't come with Spanish on it, and the ones here have a logical, useful model number.
Hikoki/Metabo HBT destroys all of these drivers
Well... they don't. Not for speed and torque. But they are nicer to use, I'll give you that.
