Best Battery Powered Polisher for Car Detailing | Milwaukee VS Dewalt

  • čas přidán 7. 08. 2024
  • Cordless Battery powered polishers for car detailing are great! The make it easy to work around the car without having to deal with extension cords. There are two options from some of the largest tool manufacturers and that would be the Dewalt 15mm and the Milwaukee 15mm. I have been using the Dewalt for almost a year now and I really love that machine. However, over the past week I have been using the Milwaukee machine to see how I like it. These are both fantastic machines with many similarities and just a few differences, and I honestly like the both... ENJOY!!!

    Great review and I have had the Dewalt for a couple of years and no longer use any of my other corded polishers. My whole tool inventory is Dewalt and all cordless stuff so I have the big batteries and last a long time or your arm gets sore from holding them for long periods. I wish they made a small version for 3" pads for smaller areas.

    Hey Josh, great video. I saw another video about these two machines made about the same time as yours and the reviewer said that the Milwaukee was noticeably quieter. He ran the one after the other at the same speeds and it was apparent the Dewalt was louder. He also mentioned that after using both one after the other on a hood, the Milwaukee had less vibration in the hand compared to the Dewalt. Do you agree with these assessments? What was your noise and vibration comparison findings?

    Both of these battery powered units look like they have limited clearance between the batteries and the work surfaces. Im worried about scratching paint at the back of the unit.

    BEST BATTERY OPERATED POWER TOOL MAKE IS MILWAUKEE ❤ NO ONE IS EVEN CLOSE , NEXT WOULD BE MAKITA , THAN DEWALT,BOSCH
    MILWAUKEE BATTERIES LAST LONGER PER CHARGE AND LONGEVITY IN YEARS AS WELL. THEIR TOOLS M18FUEL ARE HEAVY DUTY IN QUALITY AND SO ARE THEIR BATTERIES ❤❤❤❤❤.
    I USED AN M18 H.O. 3AMP BATTERY DID AN ENTIRE SUV APPLYING PRODUCT WITH D A POLISHER AND POLISHING AFTER AS WELL . TOTAL TIME 57-58 MINS STILL HAD 1 BAR ON BATTERY LEFT.
