So this is it, our updated impact driver comparison test of the big players in the arena. We first published this video on 9th February 2018 but decided to extend the testing after your feedback so here is the original video with a few extra bits.
Watch Roger Bisby take drivers from Bosch, Dewalt, Hitachi, Hilti, Makita, Metabo, Milwaukee and Panasonic to see which one has the power and features of a champion. We also measure the sound level of these noisy machines.
Impact driver vs impact wrench review - Does the Metabo impact wrench with 400Nm of torque have more grunt than the less powerful 205Nm Dewalt DCF887?
The full reviews of each impact driver are listed below.

This is my 2 year olds favourite video. He is obsessed by impact drivers. He is also showing an interest in right angle drills. He knows all the brands
Jeez, tradies starting early these days
Awesome, It’s a good thing for a boy to be into!!
😂Lmfaoooo, you gotta bright future kid
Buy him a ball or something
Far and away the best Impact Driver "shootout" I've seen. No fluffery, no showmanship guff... just straight talking, and giving each driver what looked like a fair crack. I was interested in the DeWalt before watching. Now I'm buying the DeWalt! Like some of the other commentors, for a Grand Finale I would have liked to have seen the DeWalt finish out the screws that never got to 100%. If you still have that block of oak around, how about making that quick video?
Check Project Farm. Your mind would blow
I do love my Makita set, I used to be DeWalt, it aged like fine wine! Decided to try out Makita, best investment yet! Treated myself to a impact driver, drill, jigsaw and a circular saw.
I've seen many of these test and every time they show different results.
I'm mighty impressed with the makita impact driver I bought 5 yrs ago. Also did an accidental drop test, 2.5m straight down onto concrete.... the battery popped off, it's still fine.
I found a Makita impact that had been left on a building roof for 10+ years.. it had clearly seen lots of wether (Rust all over) and sure enough it worked I didn’t even have to get a new battery. The only thing I had to do was un seize the chuck and I’m still using it to this day!
and didn't even need charging ever since XD
I found a makita brushless drill in a skip 2 months ago. Full of plasterboard dust. I stripped it and cleaned it and it works and I am also using it. It now is my go to drill as it is my lightest. I haven't had to charge it once since.
Makitas are crap,no strength despite are same torque with some DeWalt. Not enough speed,not energy sufficient,not powerful. Gears inside like made of brass. So many models you don't know what is what,only to make noise.
had a Bosch for years, it's been hammered and is as good as it was when I first got it. I do a lot of unistrut construction. Used it recently to put 25mm woodbits through timber. It changed my working life.
I have been running the same exact Bosch Impact as you are reviewing and I’m beyond impressed by it. Had many other brands and nothing that I have ever owned comes close to its sheer capabilities and sheer power.
Apprentice had this Bosch impact driver, we thought it was good for a while too. He dropped it off a ladder, maybe 1.5-2m high and it snapped on the handle near the battery... Having run Milwaukee and DeWalt, we were super unimpressed by the structural strength of the Bosch.
Ummm according to this test Bosch is the worst... so not sure why yours is so much better???
@19.11 min
I would have loved if you used the Dewalt to drive the rest in, just to show that the wood was not "hard" or anything else was wrong.
MrIcewing Heck yah!!! That would have been a great test for that Dealt. Would go out and buy the D after that no matter which other brand I already owned 😉
If he still has that piece of wood with those same screw in it then you could do that in a quick update video👍
Lol , why are people not willing to see the truth ?Dewalt rules because its there goal to rule , there batteris are better
also ,
Proud to say I have a dewalt
I'm agree with u, he need to screw all part of that wood to prove.
I’m glad you are mentioning material consistency. I watch a lot of tool duel videos and such but i am always thinking not only about consistency in material, but also with consistency between operators and left or right hand etc. the way screws in wood can effect the surrounding wood and so on. I think you guys on CZcams need to use plexiglass or hard plastic, something man made like those materials, something that doesn’t have such variation as wood and not porous like concrete.
had at least four of these, Makita every time for me
Based on this, I went and bought the DeWalt. Absolutely blown away by its power and battery life. How did I manage before?
@Bob Cooper I got one of Dewalt’s right angle drills on the 20v XR5 platform for some deck work. Holy crap, that thing will run a spade bit through a treated 4x4 like nothing is there. My son kept pestering me to drill a hole so I gave him a shot. It almost threw him like a sack of potatoes.
Appicon a Dewalt is never too much
Appicon Bosch 4pc kit would be your best choice for value and power
considering you’ll need a hammer drill for brick
I’m a commercial carpenter and the 20v max xr impact is essentially my right hand. I’ve dropped it from five stories up and it still worked fine didn’t break anything on the tool itself just bent the crap out of the shaft I was using and battery was a little lose but that’s it. Between shear power and toughness alone, I wouldn’t buy anything else
Appicon grab the 887 with the 3 speed perfect all rounder.
I have been talking to an engineer friend of mine who has offered up a theory on why the fluid drives performed so well in this test and punched well above their weight. He says that there is a certain amount of torsion in the bolts and the longer they are the more this is the case. If you hit the head you get twisting along the shank and that doesn't produce as much movement in the thread as a more sustained pushing action. Paradoxically the extra energy is, almost, counterproductive unless it is enough to produce the torsion, and some, which is what the DeWalt and Metabo did.
He went on to say that there is the torsion moment of inertia and the polar moment. I don't pretend to understand this but I like the idea that sometimes the little guy wins the fight.
Cleary all these bolts are struggling at the point where they run out of thread. As I said the force to overcome this is huge and we did snap the head of a bolt trying to drive it further with the DeWalt. Why did the video editor drop that clip?
this is the idea behind the newer impact "flex bits"
Hi was right. Thats why its not good compare fastest mode. Because its diffrent torque. Same with drill there are 2speeds 1 for 70nM 2 for 50nm. Speed 2less torque but faster work.
When you use blue. Mode. Its possible that its more speed and less torque. Ned to see in manual. What speed on what torque working.
The way an impact driver works is that the faster the hammer hits the anvil in rotation the more torque you get. It is like hitting a spanner with a hammer to tighten a nut. A drill works in a completely different way and the torque is in the gearbox and motor combination.
Interesting. I will give then a try and see what happens
What are you saying ok. Thats what told to us its true.
But i got on my own with that. Many times.
I will tel l you when its filed.
Take screw driver with 70nm. Torque.
And impact 180nm.
Then drill in to concrete hole 5.5 and use screws (special screw drill straight to concrete)with T20 or T25 head. 20 cm long.
You will see how torque 180 nm cant move screw in to concrete. And screw driver can do it with 50 nm. In my view point as more faster impact realise power, the les torque it reaching to turn screw.
To understand that use Ridgid oil Pulse impact. You will feel the diferent on your hand. Impact just hamering. Oil pulse more turning.

When I was working as a kitchen fitter I loved my 10.8v DeWalt, enough grunt to do everything unwanted plus light weight so no tired arms.
My original 14v DeWalt, now 15 years old are still going strong, though I am on a new set of batteries
these are the hands of someone who WORKS !
Great vid!
Thanks Mate for these test. I'm a Dewalt guy but have been looking for something lighter but just as powerful.
Last test should have been a follow up with the Dewalt on all the screws that weren't driven in all the way. Bet the Dewalt company would have liked to have seen that. Thanks for the review. I'm going with the Dewalt.
Gravertrain Graveytrain then why the comment if you made up your mind before watching anything opposing your mind?
The Milwaukee wasn’t set on max look at the lights
SY the dewalt would not have drove it all the way in where the makita was wood there is a hell of a lot harder where it’s dark at if u have ever split wood you will know this and I have split mine and everyone else’s share in my life
You’re right it wasn’t set in max. Sadly this guy is so rammy he doesn’t even pay attention to what he’s doing. lol lol lol plus if you would have finished the rest of the screws with the DeWalt, it would have been junk
I have a Makita impact for at least 2 years now. It has done all my jobs well so far. I would like to have adjustable torque because some jobs, its too much and it is very loud. I have Dewalt 20V batteries, so I I bought the Dewalt DCF887 new on eBay for $80. We'll see how it holds up.
Would like to see workzone/Parkside power tools reviewed next to these
My impact driver is a Screwfix brand Erbauer and I had for it since 2016 still going strong. Droped countless times still going,
hope havn't tempted fate.
"It likes the one position... I know other people like that..." good on you, Roger!
Lol
Lmfao 🤣
Hilti impact is the driver I use daily. Had the makita and the battery didnt have the staying strength, dewalt I found was temperamental. Although I used to be a makita die hard and they used to fill my van.. ...just found hilti tools are more durable. Vids are great 👍
It's the platform you run and personal preference that matters most of all. I run a surge because I like how quiet it is. Installed rear supports for drawer slides in a narrow cabinet yesterday and there was no harsh noise echoing to my ears. Not a big deal if you don't use one all the time though. But I do.
On the job site we have a few brands and everyone has fell in love with the Bosch hands down after using it for a few days it’s flat out the best.
Having subsequently watched this and unsure whether to go Dewalt, Bosch or Makita I’m well happy I went Dewalt ... :)
You should have gone with Mafell
Very impartial testing, much appreciated!
SHILL! 🤣
Angel of War, not really... had it really been an impartial test they would’ve picked the Milwaukee Gen 3 Impact to compete vs the Milwaukee Surge. Do you know why? Because the Surge is a hydraulic/pulse driver. It has substantially lower ROM’s and IPM’s the the Gen 3.
It’s only because the Milwaukee Surge is an awesome tool that it was able to drive the screw through the oak, smoking the Makita hydraulic offering.
But really the bottom line is that it wasn’t an apples to apples test.
Best Impact wrench 1200Nm czcams.com/video/BWSbOQv_r4M/video.html
Thank for taking your time to do these videos great job
Lucky for me, purchased the Dewalt before seeing this trial, (I did already have the18v drill, but needed an impact driver) I’m not disappointed with my purchase. Thanks for sharing Roger
Everything makita feels like it grew in your hand. That for me is enough. Every now and then a brand outperforms them in a certain way on a certain product. But then the year after they allways drop something to top that.
Never break just a joy to use.
I loved Bradley Walsh on the Chase but he excels presenting this.
Had my metabo drill and impact driver for about 5 years now. Great drills.
From my point of view, this first and single excellent review with real results and differences between Impact Drivers.
First of all thank you very much!
Second thing... very interested what realy happened with Impact Drivers on the market now... becouse this review is 2 years old...
I am realy will be happy to see new tested results with new modelst of this year...
Got hit in the head with an impact driver. Fell off my damn shelf, was just sitting there and suddenly Bosch!
Did it knock some sense into u?
😂😂😂😂
did it get the screw in all the way?
Ur such a tool👏
what would have been nice to see was the 100 per centers finish the screws the others left, just in case they hit a knot or metal (you never know enough metal was fired around the wars}
Interesting point.
Need a Part 2.
Yeah Dewault!!! Little disappointed in Hilti and Makita right now
Thank you, great test ... I learned something today 👍🏻👍🏻
Accellent Showdown !!! I like your approach and presentation hope to learn more from your experience knowledge.
Goodness!!! My little 9.6volt AEG drill/driver of about 15 years ago would snap bolts, rather than "give up"! I just am amazed at these weak results in general!
Lmao!!
Thanks for adding the half inch drive metabo I've noticed half inch drive impact drivers are considerably cheaper than quarter inch drives even when you add in the cost of the adaptor so that's my option
I never had use for an impact driver; I usually broke the screws with it so I prefer regular drill. Even 3/8" impact wrench is more effective on tight bolts and nuts when working on the car. Still I bought 1/2" Ridgit impact wrench with brushless motor. In wood anything should work unless you are in construction business
Great info. I'm new to upping my carpentry game, and videos like these are exactly what I need to make an informed investment choice. The Dewalt seems like the top end of the ID list, for the moment. I'm still in the bang for the buck mindset, but I love a good tool.
I’m a DeWalt user myself, although I had tools of most brands through the years. What I noticed with DeWalt though is that the housing has a tendency to split lenghtwise.
Maybe they are too strong for their own good?
I am a mill wright and i have had the same thing happen in my exp i find milwaukee m18 line to last the longest for me
I've had several Dewalt housings crack
@@rudolfrednose7351 kam auf den Boden
I sure with ya there. My company has roughly 500 Milwaukee tools. Not only do they last through major abuse but they always stand behind warranty. We had DeWalt, not a chance do they last as long. I’m not talking alot a couple tools U guys have have in your garage. I’m talking hundreds and hundred for years and years
I've got all Milwaukee the 18v combi drill is an absolute beast, impact is great, I personally think they are the best that or hilti
I have both....The Hilti is a dream. Not as powerful as my Gen3 but it is a beautiful machine!
Thanks for this great head-to-head review.
Very good test, thanks for the info, I have never seen your videos before!
I know one thing.
My makita is 6 years old and still going strong.
I'm a Carpenter and have put it through the ringer.
Now it's not as powerful as some of the other brands but not less enough to make a difference.
Driving screws is one thing but i want my tools to last and these tests can't show that.
I've seen them all come on the job and go but my makita impact driver is still going hard.
I think thats far more important
time and money i suppose. money saved on tools without any major difference in time to complete a job.
Pretty much the same for me with the makita. I've been using mine, without any trouble at all, for years. I've seen dozens of guys show up with new impacts on jobsites only to be replaced by something else fairly quick. Dewalt is known to work great when new, but they seem to develop the most problems too. I'll take the reliability of the Makita...
I love my Makita but the other day I was using it to drive screws into drywall and it started smoking on me which is the reason why I even started watching this video. I'm so surprised and was shocked to see that happened but I always really loved my Makita and am taking second thoughts about it.
Was it the Makita or would they all have done the same thing?
I gave it a rest and it still worked fine after but my heart dropped when I noticed that happening!
@@moysesgaray8410 I've put mine through hell and never had an issue.
I think yours may have just been a rare case. As long as it was the trade quality makita not the generic DIY.
Their trade tools are awesome.
@Jay Bee the tafe i went to to get my trade used dewalt, they had a deal with the company. My teachers and the students hated them. They were always getting replaced or broken. A lot of us used our own tools instead as they were no good.
They may be better these days but it will take a long time for me to forget that.
I don't care about the minor power bonus or battery life. I care about reliability and longevity
i think you do a fair job on testing. as you know hindsight is 20/20. i would like to add something that my uncle told me years ago when i was asking his MASTER CARPENTER ADVICE on a repair project. he told told me TWO HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE EVEN IF IF IT'S LETTUCE. input is input no matter who or where it comes from. keep the videos coming so we all can learn something.
I’ve been using the same DeWalt 18v Drill 10-12 hours a day 6 days a week since 2001 and it’s still going strong.
Obviously that’s not constant hours but a lot of the time I would use it for 2 hours straight then do something else for a bit then back to using the drill.
So that’s why all my other cordless tools are also DeWalt. I’d like to see some tests of Ryobi and Ridgid and One+ since they are more for homeowners
Cheers mate
LOVED showing this to my father inlaw as hes a bosch man and im a dewalt guy.lol
Best review, actually most useful of all the reviews I've seen.
Thanks J D - What kind of showdown/review would you like to see next?
Dewalt is all I buy ... Never let's me down and they make durable tools that can take a beating
Hugely helpful, as ever!
Thanks!
Im just on the lookout for and impact driver👍👍
With the new Makita impact driver XDT16 out, are you going to do another impact driver showdown or a review on it? Really keen to see how it pairs up with the rest of the other impact drivers? Btw, love your work, keep it up 👍🏼👍🏼
I worked construction all my life and for price and performance and I love Milwaukee
My. DeWalt set was stolen and I needed a new one. I went to the local lumber yard and hardware store. They had a sale going on the Milwaukee still set so I went ahead and bought it. I'm glad I did because now I won't buy anything but Milwaukee....
@@trentcunningham5627 Ryobi is now made by Milwaukee and really isn't bad for cost
I was looking for this type of video ...great job guys..👍
I got that DeWalt DCD791 driver and a DCF887 impact for a christmas present. I think I'm going to like them a lot.
I have a hard time believing Bosch did that bad. I actually switched to Bosch from my dewalt set I had. And in my personal experience the Bosch out preformed dewalt. The 4ah battery for Bosch lasted twice as long as the dewalt 5ah battery as well. Side note, after 3 years both of the Bosch batteries are as strong as the day I bought them. My coworker has replaced 4 batteries since that time. Food for thought.
It is indeed to the old 18650 batteries they used. The new procore 21700 are absolute monsters. I drive 8" timberlok lag screws into oak rough boards to tie in the new replaced wall section to the old frame and my freak drove one through the timber board. The threads of the timberlok were protruding from the rough lumber. It was a no, no, but I wanted to know.
I routinely drive the 6" grk rss screws and the freak just won't stop driving them until I release the trigger.
I have every ty0e of battery they have released, including the wireless charging and I have never had one go down. Some are over a decade old and I am a general contractor in Northern Canada. Very good tools in difficult circumstances, that's why I keep buying them
Same hated my dewalts got Bosch for the same reason better batteries and the tools do not die my two employees have dewalt and Milwaukee and they have to have 2x the batteries to finish the work day, depends on what we are hammering in depends on what ones better I can drive in tapcons they can’t but theirs perform better in wood, that also have had to replace theirs and I have not so to each his own.
Would of been nice to look at the build quality, ergonomics etc. I always look for quality when buying tools.
When I started work, it would have been a handrill for a pilot and a 131 Yankee (yes, showing my age, I know.) Things are so much better now. When you think of the power required to drive a 5" screw into solid oak, with no pilot - that DeWalt is impressive, no doubt about it.
I own many both Makita and DeWalt tools, and I love their qualities. I did the similar tests but instead of one test run for each, my buddy and I tested both tools with the same type of nails and solid oak three times, and guess what? Only 2 seconds difference of average!!
I can't believe bosch be the last I got bosch tool from 11 years I got and the old battery still working
I find it odd my two year old Bosch impact has been out preforming the counterparts on job sites running in tap cons and I’m the only one that’s yet to replace mine.
6:16
“So? Why are we testing ‘em..??”
“We’re testing em COZ WE LOVE TESTING TOOLS!”
Lol!! Perfect answer!!
You're supposed to test sh!t xD otherwise all you have to go on is the marketing BS of a company that is benefiting from selling you something.
Independent testing is very necessary
@@scroopynooperz9051 of course. I completely agree. Plus the bonus of getting to buy more tools! Tools to a bloke is like make up to a woman! Lol
Sehr beeindruckt von der Arbeit die Sie sich machen! Respekt!
I am very impressed by the work you are doing! Respect!
I have the dewalt impact driver. I used it to put in 250 8” sleeper bolts in 6mm piloted holes in oak. It was over 4 days but the thing got hotter than the sun. I ended up using the dewalt matches no drill on slow speed. It had more torque. It’s still going 3 months on but if you’re doing that regularly then pick another or something mains powered
you could drive those screws that hitachi couldn't with dewalt just to show how much more power dewalt has
My thoughts exactly
Surely the wood especially oak has different density depending where about in the grain you're drilling too.
I am only interested in the best vs the worse. If I see group a good tools then you did great. The exact info I am looking for. Good job.
Brilliant always love your videos Roger!
Watching this with automated subtitles is just hilarious:
"Where's my penguins?"
"That's the meal walking" 🤣
9:38 - "on the side they give you the sex group"
@@archechme Now THAT is a good salespitch!
Would you use same amp batteries? For same power?
That was awesome! Thanks alot.
As a carpenter working with hard Australian timbers, I’ve burnt out makita Panasonic, Milwaukee and the latest dewalt impact driver, at moment I use a Hilti and it’s light and powerful.
Note thou Milwaukee is brushless and red lithium and lasted 6 months
The panosonic lasted a year
Dewalt lasted two years
Makita has for 4 years never died but the batteries just stop working randomly.
Now Hilti is a year in no issues but it’s early days
The best thing about this presentation is that we are told very quickly at the beginning which one is coming out on top so you don't have to watch the whole thing if you don't want to, but I did.
i must ask did you use moist meter before drill in
Amazing video 👌🏽
If my normal impact was struggling like this I switch to my bigger M18 1/2" with a hex adapter and it would drive all these fixings in like they were drywall screws and push them 1/2" below the surface with ease.
does it have all the same aaH battery capacity?
It would have been interesting to see if any of the drills that completed the task would also have driven in those that failed, this would also show whether that spot had a knot or other obstruction.
Absolutely
Thanks. Lucky when i upgraded my tools that day DeWalt got discount. Im in DeWalt ladder and very impressive good feeling and last very long. good brand.
Great video's keep them coming 😀 👌
I use Hitachi on metal steel and it work perfectly.
Hitachi aka Metabo HPT is perfectly good tool brand.
Ya good but not DeWalt
Milwaukee should have been on par with Dewalt if you used the model that competes with the dewalt brushless impact drivers such as the 887. I'm a dewalt guy and I know Milwaukee is pretty Damn good.
Old video I know but still worth a comment, I use the dewalt 887 and it’s a great tool, well balanced with the best grip in my opinion, but driving 180mm timber coach screws it struggles after 3 or 4, not surprising as it’s not built for that sort of graft, so I have got the metabo 400 1/2” wrench and a 1/2” - 1/4” Adapter and it drives all day no issue, not as comfortable as the dewalt but for proper heavy duty the metabo is a winner
Full of fun , enjoying spend with it.
Luckily we are in 2020 and we've had battery adapters for quite some time now. Run any tool with any battery. 😁😁
No worries, the manufacturers will adapt and continue to scam us into buying more batteries when unnecessary.
@@BorgOvermind oh yeah! I'm sure they will add some type of security chip to the batteries so they won't work
Given the inconsistent density of wood from spot to spot, it may be nice to drive fasteners through something else next time. Perhaps 6 or 8 engineered deck boards sandwiched together? It would also be interesting to take the highest torque DeWalt and finish the rest of those lag screws that the others failed to drive. Thanks for posting a most interesting match up. Looking forward to more. Cheers!
Expect to be shot down a bit but here goes! 12 years ago my van got broken into and all tools gone. I was really short of cash and needed some power tools so i could work. I went and got an Erbauer impact driver from Screwfix. That tool is still going strong and still piles the screws in almost daily. Batteries still perfect and i can feel no wear at all on the tool itself. Yes its heavy and mine looks like its been though 3 world war's but i just cannot knock it.
I’ve been using dewalt impact driver for many years at work, it never let me down
Ok Roger, as much as I like looking after the grumpy neighbour next door, doing my job is priority, the day they invent a silent mode driver then I'll buy it, other than that "here's a pair of ear buds" 😂
The Milwaukee surge hydraulic impact is a lot quieter. It don’t have as much umph as the gen 3 fuel but it’s still very strong and quiet.
Owned 3 dewalt drill in my life all have failed within 6months to a year. I have had a Milwaukee brushless now for almost 2 years it's still working almost like day 1.
Milwaukee is a very good tool!!
Wow nice anecdotal info. I've had several Milwaukee's fail within 3 weeks, but I've had the same DeWalts since the 50s.
A couple seconds of speed or a hair extra power is nice and all, but you have to balance it against noise, feel, and battery efficiency. And when it comes to those, the Makita oil drive is the clear choice. It's feather light, it's super quiet, it lasts forever, and the battery efficiency can't be beat
Useful video, thank you very much.
Stack up a whole bunch of different materials. Ply, dry wall, concrete, aluminum, etc... and the longest bolts you could find. Just an idea.
Hi Roger the fluid drivers have a sustained impact rather than peak impacts I was surprised to see the makita fluid driver beat the premium makita impact driver
So were we Tony. Very surprised. The resistance on those screws was huge.
Hilti hands down for me. Brilliant video.
Now, just in case we're hitting something.... I'll drive it in with the Dewalt!!!
You wanna hear a joke?
Panasonic power tools
Mar NOi They’re like 3 times the price of the others also. Don’t have any idea how they sale any of them
No Ingersoll Rand either, they have 20v max line too
The impact Panasonic is brilliant I will never get rid of mine! It’s about 5 years old and I still beat everyone on site with speed.
@@jpk2742 the video shows otherwise bud.
MadMetalManiac74 maybe it does but we only did screw in tests which mine beat them all. I don’t really use impacts anymore though. Festool is the only way.
Been running 12v Dewalt for 13 years no problem.
For me modulation is the true test of an Impact driver. How slow can it go without wrecking your screw head or work.
They can all slam screws in rapidly but not all can do it slowly...
I’m a carpenter - Makita for me. Reliable/ergonomical/good batteries/range of quality tools. -30 to 40 , rain and snow. Makita/dewalt and Milwaukee are basically any tradesmans choice of tools. Plumbers like ridgid.
Bosch the best, I just love the brand, and so far I have a lot of Bosch tools, they are all good so far!
yea, we see in the video : ))))) last place
