Makita is using your vid in their advertising. You would think they would have given this to you for free….
We don't accept any free tools or sponsorships, but appreciate the sentiment!
@@TorqueTestChannel they should at least be sending you some royalties then lol
Òòòòooòooo

The makita looks like it was still climbing !! Run that test at 20 and 15 seconds !!
LOVE IT
These are the tools the Makita XGT 40V platform was intended for - heavier-duty applications. In my testing, the 40V 1/4" impact driver wasn't anything too special, the brushless hammer drill was excellent but not revolutionary. But larger impact wrenches, breaker hammers, and construction site equipment is where Makita is going to make a killing on this platform.
I fully understand why Makita DOES NOT increase the power of a impact driver with the 40V over the 18V--because once you exceed 2,000 in/lb of torque you start breaking bits, 1/2" adapters and so on. The Milwaukee does go over 2,000 in/lb and breaks adapters all the time which is not a good thing! Realistically, if you need more power than the 18V for an impact, use an impact WRENCH to prevent breaking bits, parts raining down on people below or pieces of sharp tool steel ripping holes in your hands or face. I used a huge Hilti industrial hammer drill to cut a 1/4" hole through drywall to hang a picture--it worked but power is nothing without control. Makita has a 36V 33.5Ah backpack bettery that powers 36V X2 and 40V Max outdoor power equipment so it would be fun to see what it does on impact wrenches or cut off saws! Come on Philly....see if you can kill the 1,200 watt hour backpack battery before you get carpal tunnel....for science! ;)
And if 40 V is not powerful enough , Makita has 80 V tools too , 2 x 40 V battery :-)
Everyone in the comments: The M18 3/4" needs Hight Output batteries Milwaukee doesn't sell it with!
Meanwhile: The Makita with the 2.5ah 18650 pack it comes with matches a damn M18 1" using the XC8.0 HO.
The whataboutism is real
One really important thing that people might be missing is that comparing a 2.5ah 18v battery to a 2.5ah 40v battery is apples to oranges. The amp-hour ratings are kind of meaningless to compare like that. One battery pack is just wired with more cells in series, but it's still a huge pack that is comparable to 6.0ah 18v battery packs.
@@operator8014 Would have been nice to see this tested with a high output battery, but I think that was the guys point.
If the 1" is barely beating the 3/4" Makita with an XC high-output battery, there is no chance the 3/4 is going to sniff at the Makita 3/4 with the HO battery regardless.
@@operator8014 It would make more sense to compare them in the same class and watt hours. Tools prices will always vary from quality, name recognition to being brand new.
These tools will always be directly comparable in some respects and incomparable in others. We can see the raw performance, after that there are several categories to classify them in. One would be kit for kit, stock batteries, right out of the box. Another would be the tool with the best battery available from the manufacturer. There are several other metrics that COULD be used to create comparos, and finally perhaps a fully subjective score or “seat of the pants” feel for the tool..Things like balance and trigger control that can’t be measured at full tilt on a test bench.
your also assuming people only use that exact battery with that exact tool. my milwaukee 3/4 is noticeably stronger with a 8.0 on it. most of us have a bunch of tools and batteries
interesting that in USA Milwaukee are the defaul and the Makita the runner to catch. Here in Brazil Makitas 18V are the defaul with Milwaukee running to catch in the premium market. But have to buy new batteries and charger for 40V is a pocket drainer. The fact is that some new XGT makitas surpasses all other brands for heavy use like this impact tool test demonstrate. For metal the 40V XGT cuts near 30% faster than my 18V angle grinder. The 40V nailer is comparable with pneumatic nailer... So, it's expensive but taking of the burn to have to invest in a new line of batteries the XGT makita is impressive and the way to go for heavy applications. The 2x 40V concrete tools are equally BEASTS, even compared to top gas tools. Expensive but good.
Makita impacts continues to impress.
The voltage is.
Yet Makita is getting scarce in the stores. They don’t sell a whole lot of Makita stuff like they used to. Now they push Milwaukee way more.
Price is killing them sadly
Makita sux
Each brand has there moments. Someone is always trying to be the best at a certain tool.
Been watching these vids for about a month. I tend not to focus on comparing brands spec numbers because price is much better used for reliable power instead. However, even though this style is overused, your vids are pretty great, and I do still get a lot of useful info from them! Not to mention the natural attraction to torque number comparisons lol. Either way, this whole time I thought this was a ~ a million sub channel that I'm late to the party to bc that's usually the case. But man.. I'm happy to be here and discover these vids when you're not even at 100k! Ik it's hard to see but you're gonna hit a million man God willing. Consistent vids of this quality over several years like yours always grow a channel to those crazy numbers so long as you touch the algorithm once or twice. Crazy that I'm so early to this channel!
Damn they actually pulled it off!
Twisted it off ;)
Took 22 more V but yea
This channel and project farm are the most useful tool review channels I have come across.
Upgraded from an older 18v kit. czcams.com/users/postUgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv I independently chose the drill and impact tool, before I came across the kit.I like the 3 speed impact gun. It seems more powerful than my older one, and it can be set to be really gentle. The drill is more appropriately sized for my use. I used to have a hammer drill, but I did not like that it was so big and it was not a great hammer drill. I rather have a smaller drill like this, and then get a corded hammer drill for the odd case I need that.
I've been eyeballing this 3/4 since I heard Makita was making it. I'm definitely getting it over everything else on the market.
Did you end up getting it? How have you found it? Wondering if it's the way to go for putting a lot of long bugle heads in all day or if it's overkill 🤔
So did you buy it? Some of us want to know.
I ordered this same kit from Max Tool about a month ago now. Paid $646 total with taxes. No regrets, The XGT series is for real.
Wow...I think I need to stock this one in the store to replace the large LXT.
I was so impressed by your mid torque video I had to revamp my impact lineup to include it. Although I must not be the only one, they were backordered till July, and I ordered them a little after you posted your video so a few weeks ago. I think I'll do the small and mid torque LXT's, and the High torque just stocking the XGT.
Makita also announced 8.0Ah XGT battery packs the other day, cool stuff
I love how all these company’s have been slowly catching up to Milwaukee and surpassing these models that were released. Can’t wait to see what Milwaukee has next!!!
Milwaukee has been using the same 3/4 for awhile and makita is brand new so it's not much of a comparison. Milwaukee will drop something soon and take back their #1 spot
@@ericg4915 exactly, waiting on Milwaukee’s new Gen model before running and buying the makita
@@esellanta This Makita just bested Milwaukee’s 1 inch model lol. It ain’t gonna happen. Buy the Makita. While you can. Also it’s best to start your Makita 40 volt battery collection now. It’s just a platform that is more powerful. Smaller tools don’t benefit as much from it but big impacts or drills etc. will.
If the massive 1" Ingersoll taught us anything it is that 18v doesnt cut it. Remember the 1" waukee need an 8ah battery to perform well, the required current is challenging to transfer to the motor, even the 12ah M18 battery is a limiting factor. Such high currents causes voltage drops, less voltage to the motor means you need to compensate by upping the current, causing even less voltage to the motor, and then they hit a wall. If waukee can counter this XGT it is not at a similar size, and if it is same size then overheat issues will be looming. Still, even with 2x18v batteries its a win if they can do it, but i agree with Jay Quick, this is a great reason to enter into Makita xgt ecosystem. I already got all 3 xgt impact wrenches and 6 other xgt tools, no regrets but i do miss the lightweight 2ah LXT batteries, no small batteries announced for xgt yet.
Makita was the original though. We had them going back to the 12v and 14.4 with the red NiCad batteries. I got my first 18v Makita in something like 2007 or so (looks tired but still works).
So no one is catching Milwaukee really. Makita returning to the front.
Going with team blue
It's Friday which means another great video from the TTC! Thanks as always for all you do guys. Keep crushing these videos 💪
I am in the milwaukee tool line, but I am by no means hurt by seeing this. Good on makita, the competition among all the new impacts is just going to make the next gens better across all brands, in the end we all win.
Hey brother don feel bad, I’d prefer Milwaukee all the way up
Milwaukee reliability and durability it’s the best
Only took 3.5 years to beat it by a hair
So glad to see y'all thriving so well!
I have been using that 3/4 inch 40v makita gun for about a year and a half now. There isn't much she can't undo. Bushes with a UJ and extention to get in there, no problem. Hub nut torqured to 1100nm. Needs a fully charged battery, but she does it. Big bessie has made my life so much easier.
You have to remember the prevalence of left hand thread lugs on large trucks when thinking about forward vs reverse torque on these large drive impacts. Having more "Forward" torque is actually preferable for this, A left hand thread lug tightened by an air impact will usually be tighter than a right hand thread lug tightened by the same impact due to reverse bias in most air impacts.
Got my two shirts yesterday, not only are they nice and thick quality they fit like a dream!
Thanks! Yeah we wanted shirts you could work in that won't stretch or rip
@@TorqueTestChannel 100% and much appreciated
@@TorqueTestChannel would you be interested in trying the XTR 24v kobalt 1/2 in impact wrench? I just ordered one and would be able to send it to you to test out new with a couple different batteries. Claims 1200 ftlbs
Not surprised by Makita. I do steel erection and iron work for a living and until cordless got good in the last couple years we always used Makita corded 3/4 in impacts for anchor bolts. They were brushed but they were easily swapped out and serviceable. I think they hit harder than what they actually were rated at
Video is very good. Not long ago, because I needed to buy a torque drilling rig of the Renhotecic brand, I used it for a while, and it felt very good to use. It is recommended that friends in need can try to prepare one.
Thanks for the good review. This thing is a beast at taking off things from stuck on torque nuts on peterbuilt axels to stuck on hydraulic covers that I had been using something like 7 feet of extensions on a breaker bar to get loose. It consistently gets things loose that the Milwaukee 1/2 and 3/4 can't which 3 guys in the shop I work at have. It also tends to take lug nuts off faster than the 1 inch Ingersoll Rand air tools the shop supplies. It still works fine after having it for about 10 months and I would recommend people who are looking for a high power impact to consider this.
Down sides? I have to keep the second battery charged and it seems to lose some power when the battery is less than 4 bars of power which happens after about 2 wheels or taking on and off 20 lug nuts. Been using the 2.5 amp hour batteries just for reference. AKA It hits really hard for a bit but it is lacking in endurance.
Things getting pretty wild on the TTC!
Recently got the XGT impact for working on my Unimog, lots of 600NM rusted in hex head bolts this makes easy work of. I'm using the 5ah battery that came with the Makita 40v chainsaw which is also awesome!
Love your channel. Just bought a t-shirt. Keep up the good work fellas.
Makita knocked it out of the park, good for them 👍🏽
Let's hope during the Black Friday holiday season some deals will surface.
Absolutely. Like the great deals we could get on 36v tools would be great.
I don’t see any Black Friday deals for the Makitas???? Anyone
@@user-vm6mw6du8m they don’t have any impact wrench deals
@@user-vm6mw6du8m Only the Makita bluetooth speaker and the home owner socket set. Some minor discounts on old 18v LXT tools. Black Friday is more about ok deals on mainstream products, how some expected XGT to go on sale is beyond me, thats not how they do it except for a very limited stock, like "10% OFF to the 5 first customers to buy 5 XGT tools".
Totally agree, undoing seized nuts IS THE MOST important aspect of a rattle gun, period.
I was so excited when this video popped up and I was very impressed. I'll definitely be getting that XGT
Thanks TTC. Now I just gotta wait and see which battery I need to get for it when I buy one.
Great video, y'all! Very impressed with this Makita!
I’m 25 going on 26. I was raised on Milwaukee power tools but I rode dirt bikes and one of my favorite riders was sponsored by makita. I think I’m gonna re-outfit to makita.
I want to see you test the Ingersoll Rand W7152 it's supposed to out perform the Milwaukee 2767 by a good margin.
You guys plan to review the 1/2" Makita 40v mid torque impact wrenches? Thanks for this awesome, extremely useful content btw.
Wouldn't mind having all that m18 stuff, but I've always been partial to the feel and features of makita.
I’d love to see the Cornwell 3/4 air impact. I believe it’s made by IR
Ya I have been saying voltage matters because with the same gauge wire you need a lot less current but you can get a lot higher wattage I'm surprised we haven't seen more from the 24v tools the kobalt and flex but they are doing alright
Talk about a beast, keep up the good work!
Respect to the Makita fans... I'm impressed
They have their moments. Like back in the day when they released their tiny (for the time) impact driver with light weight batteries....when I was still using a giant/ heavy Milwaukee 1/2" drill w/ nicad batteries. A game changer for sure. Everybody else was chasing them for years.
I like how the intro is a 4.5 inch grinder with a 6 or 7 inch disc!
That Makita 40v is a monster!
Y'all should test one of my scrap yard salvage 3/4" air impacts and see how a $5 IR model stacks up!
Love that you added the 6.0 battery test, I will be looking forward to purchasing a 6.0 to make my 3/4 Milwaukee even more powerful. Need all the power i can get removing lug nuts from semi's and trailers.
Run a torque multiplier and never look back.
The 4.0 amp hour at 40 (36) volts is more like 8.0 at 18. So should be tested at 9.0ah
Makita makes a great things! Awesome results!
Very interesting results🤔 Great video boys👍
Should try to test the IR W7152. Tried one, and it Beat my M18 2767-20.
Or IR W9691 which they clam will be the world's most powerful cordless impact when released.
Excellent video as always. I am surprised that Makita didn't offer it with an adapter that lets one use two 18 volt batteries to give you the same 40-volt battery with more available ampacity that should be even more performance. obviously be more bulk as well but to be more enticing to those who don't want to invest in a whole new platform.
3:11. When I realized I suddenly like teal more than red.
That’s also when Milwaukee fans realized they liked white more then teal.
That makita green has definitely got torqued up.
Dudes they like dudes that was my joke.
Wow, I am gonna have to save up and try out some of those new 40V instead of getting the LXT high impact!
Dont forget about the Hikoki wr36da (Metabo HPT) might not beat theese great tools but it is IP56, would really like to see it tested
I'd like to see if there is any difference on the makita's power with a bigger battery. Testing it on their 2.5Ah battery and Milwaukee's High output 8.0.
I would imagine Makitas 5.0Ah battery has a bit more oomph.
Thanks to guys like Yourselves and that grinning cat over on Project farm , you keep these companies cranking out wicked toys for us 50 year olds
just an interesting on the performance of the m18 1". apparently its design was more for assembly of large scale civil construction rather than automotive disassembly. however the new d handle has been made specifically for mechanics.
now that is a very useful tool.
sensible size, sensible power and 3/4 drive is very affordable and common socketry .
Big truck and farm/construction equipment guys going like this mobile and in the shop .
Is likely a 1,000+ft-lbs on the bigger battery ...
Lotta beans. Wish this channel was around before I started buying tools!
Just looked at the 1/2 makita today it was 600 for the combo pack at my local hardware store I felt like that was a good deal I will be putting this on my want list I have used the makita impact driver to build homes and I was impressed by them being a dwalt fan all my life I may be switching soon not a fan of mill battery set up if they fixed that and it did not lose connection all the time I would go red but for that I won't have any red tools in my box anytime soon
Just tried out my new gwt01 and only able to remove 3 of 10 lug nuts that are stamped “450-500 ft lbs”. A 1/2” Cornwell air impact was able to finished the job at < 5 seconds per nut.
The makita’s battery went from full charge to one bar and socket was too hot to touch. It was set on 4 and held each time over 30 seconds. Would a larger battery help on these? I know my other battery tools seem weaker when cold and it’s ~45°F currently. Does anything need to break in? I am very disappointed and was looking at going back to makita until this. I love my xwt08 I’ve had several years and thought this would be the step up I needed for medium duty work.
Hi guys, i've bought one of these and i have a question you might be able to answer. Is this wrench suitable for tightening lugs using torque sticks + the cut out modes of the wrench? or how much torque does it make with these modes?
Ok, gonna hold off on purchasing and wait for next Gen Milwaukee 1/2"-dr (or 3/4"-dr) Impact Wrench and see if it can surpass the competition.
Milwaukee 3/4" Impact hits a lot harder with the 12 amp hour battery.
Can you re-do the test with makitas largest battery to suit their new 3/4" Gun vs milwaukee 3/4" with a 12ah battery.
When your moving in to the 3/4" and 1" range a 5ah battery isnt what we would use at work.
I only have a cheap corded impact, but MAN is this exciting
Thanks for the tests. May I ask if you have any idea about noise level in dB? Thanks in advance!
Do you guys have any plans to test corded impact wrenches? I'd love to see where they rank. Real Tool Reviews did a Kobalt vs Harbor Freight a few years back on a dyno and rated the Kobalt around 640ft.lbs. The marketing numbers for corded are all over the place and it'd be nice to get clear answers.
I build peri and Doka self climbing core forms for skyscrapers and Makita is always the number one way to go. not only are they better, but they are also stronger. doing construction there are mishaps that happen and a tool drops 20+ feet, gets left out in the rain, and constantly gets thrown around in general. Makita has been the only company that has stood the test of time. have had brand new Milwaukee's break a week later, snap in half, and have the handle literally explode apart under torque. Almost every single Makita I started out with are still alive n kicking. Company has a tool room, guess which tools are constantly getting replaced/sent for repairs? Milwaukee and dewalt tools after their first jobsite appearance.
I just got one of these a few days ago and am wondering if anyone can help me out. No where in the manual does it say and I can’t figure out how to disable the different modes. No matter what setting I have it on, it either stops completely or slows down once I break a bolt free with it. And going forward it always shuts down. How do I disable this feature?
The NEW Makita high torque dumbbell! 😁
Hey Torque Test Channel, the BL4040F with the Tabless batteries was released recently overseas and id love to see this revisited with the new battery. Ive heard it offers alot more power and cooler runtime.
Also, im curious what this would do with the monster 8.0 battery.
I work at a tire shop and deal with a lot of over torqued lug nuts. I currently have a xwt04z and it can't always take off all the lug nuts I encounter. I just bought into the 40v lineup and got 3 batteries and a charger. I was going to buy the xgt08z 40v mid torque but I'm not sure if it'll be enough. I also don't totally want a 3/4 driver nor to spend the extra $200 for the xgt01d but what do you suggest? Everyone at work has a CT9050 snap on or DCF900 DeWalt so I don't want to have the baby impact either lol. I wish Makita would drop a 40v 1/2" high torque.
Lets see more 3/4 drive! Lots of cool guns. Dewalt, air cat, IR Pneumatic and cordless. Plz!
Me with absolutely no need for a 3/4” impact and am a Milwaukee fan am having a hard time not wanting to buy this tool.
Same 😫
True if they make a 1/2 inch version I’m going to have major problems
I was definitely struggling until I gave in. Now I’m trying to find things to fix 😆
@@jamarallen08 fix my 2az fe toyota motor please.
I love how all these company’s have been slowly catching up to Milwaukee and surpassing these models that were released years ago. Can’t wait to see what Milwaukee has next!
Makita is definitely a tool for the pros
I'm really interested to see how the impulse style of impact drivers perform. They're main claim being that it's a sustained torque vs hammering effect, so would it seem more linear than the exponential style of traditional impacts?
See our Flex episode. They won't dyno. They shut off at max torque, we think to avoid cavitation damage or something
Anyome here have the matco 1/2 in and went to the xgt makita 3/4?
How is it holding up for diesel mechanic work?
Or taking lugs off semi truck tires?
When are you guys going to test the Kobalt XTR 1/2" drive impact?
What brand of impact sockets are you using for this test? Just curious!
Team Teal swings the hammer and crushes Team Red in the .75" drive Olympics. Well done Makita.
I literally got my fuel 3/4 yesterday haven’t used it yet
It would be really cool if yall would test the Ingersoll rand. I believe it model W7152
Please test the older Milwaukee M18 2763 1/2 impact! Ive seen them going over 1,000 ft lbs easily on tests before.
Can you retest the makita 3/4 40v with the new 8ah battery? just curious to know what torque it puts out exactly
Awsome review!
Can you please bring on the Dewalt on against this 40v Makita?🤔
It would be intresting to see the 8.0 on the makita
initial duty cycle is all well and good, but what about overtime use? is it going to break down faster?
My friend the Makita s battery very small 2.0ahmoer isn't enough for a big tool like this i recommend tp use the 5 ahmper patry ormore
Do correct me if I am mistaken:
The Milwaukee 1" wrench is a trades replacement for pneumatic installation wrenches on-site. At least that's how it was described to me by reps.
If my assumption is correct, it would makes sense that the beans are all forward by design. If I am incorrect, please disregard this comment and have yourself a darn good weekend!
This true, it’s not really meant for the mechanics world, more steel fab and other construction applications
You are correct. The M18 1” D-Handle, on the other hand, has more reverse torque in mind for giant lug nuts, heavy machinery repair, etc
I used the Milwaukee 1" in this video, and their "chain saw" impact today at my job building Starship. As per usual for the gulf coast, we had to break a bunch of rust to get the fuck off huge rocket hold down bolts free, and then run the guns a bit in forward to get some torque on the bolts before hitting them with a torque wrench proper. Breaking the bolts free is *absolutely* the priority, because if the impact gun doesn't do it, then we'll have to do something REALLY ill advised like find a breaker bar and hook it up to a come-along or a truck or boom lift.
Observations: XC5.0 batteries are hot garbage. Any sockets that aren't 1" native are just requiring you to sling around more weight for not much more delivered torque. Passing the smaller 1" impact up and down ladders was easier than the "chain saw" impacts.
@@Hansengineering Dude. You're a *rocket mechanic*. That's pretty sweet.
you could try the brand ingco, yato, total, stanley, einhell, they are cheap brands to draw a conclusion which one to buy
Would you be able to test the Milwaukee 3/4” with the 6.0HD battery?
I want to buy the new Makita 40v 3/4” impact wrench. But all of my impact sockets are 1/2”. Id like to see how much power I would lose with a 3/4” to 1/2” reducer. Thank you, great videos!!
It’s enough that it wouldn’t be worth it seeing as the 1/2” is 1400 ftlbs
Could you make a video on a DeWalt Xtreme Sub compact 12volt 3/8 impact torque test.
I know bolt breakaway isn't your thing but since other channels have omitted XGT testing I would sure love to see if the Makita XGT (mid torque) is able to top the Dewalt in breakaway like the stats suggest.
I have 2000nm M18, and i have farm. I haven't had any problems with it. Cant imagine how large bolts have to be, to not being able loosen them, 20mm tractor tyre bolts with damaged threads - not a problem. In fact I bought smaller unit on 1/2 inch, to use on 10-12mm screws, which are quite popular on implements. That 2000nm model is too heavy and overkill for casual jobs.
Can u do the makita 3/4" with higher capacity batteries
Could you test the Kobalt XTR ? I'm thinking of buying It but would like to know if it has enough beans to be worth it.
Hello, I currently work on D11 dozers, 836 trash compactors, I'm looking for a 3/4 gun. Air or Battery. I want the highest torque !!!! any ideas ?
Anyone got a lead on the 5ah batteries for the xgt? I can't find them from a reputable source in the States
Very curious what a makita 3/4 with 5ah battery will do.
If majors makes a good 1/2 and 3/8 impact that’s strong and compact I’ll sell all my Milwaukee stuff to get it and I love Milwaukee but making has found a way to make a ton of power and keep the tool compact which is what I need
You should test out the Kobalt 1/2" xtr kxiw 1424a-03 see how it compares to the competition I looked on your channel and didn't see any videos on it
Awesome video again! Keep it up
