If I didn't have my Milwaukee setup currently, I'd definitely have gotten myself into the Ridgid game. Something about DeWalt I don't want their tool lines. I like their tool bits, and stuff, just not power tools.

That was an amazing comparison you've made! I'll add my personal experiences if I may. I'm a Y12 student and at my high school in the metal work rooms they've standardized Makita and have these girders. I've used them for hours on end and perform very well provided you give them 3amp or high batteries. They are also tough as they are used by the most unskilled and most mechanical sympathy lacking students, they are dropped, have wheels explode, left out in the sun (40 degrees plus here in Australia) and left in the rain. They are used five hours a day 5 days a week for 40 weeks a year and they keep running. Love the quality so much I purchased one my self (the brushed version though) one other thing i noticed was the nock off Makita grinder didn't have the low battery detector and so if you're using this tool you must monitor the battery life and not run it dead or you will kill the battery permanently.

I think I paid $10 for one? For real rotary action I'll use a pneumatic die grinder. But there's still a place for those little electric jobbies. I also have a Foredom flexible shaft tool too.

@@alfredomarquez9777 I have a number of rotary tools. The small Dremel style ones are limited in power. Nothing electric can compare to pneumatic. I have a made in USA CP860 heavy duty air die grinder. It's peak rotary tool action. Even cheap far eastern air tools can be OK though. For electric collet tools Rotozips are hard to beat. They're made by Bosch now. They even make cordless Rotozip tools that are good for a quick zip. I have one made by B&D I keep around the shop for little stuff. Then I have the ultimate in rotary geekdom, a Foredom flex shaft. You can see one of those in the movie Click when Sandler goes Way Way beyond and meets Christopher Walken. It's hanging over his workbench. It's so quintessential they used it as a movie prop. My Optrel welding hood shows up in a lot of movies too. You have to love when your tools end up on the big screen.

I run a corded DeWalt, so I'm glad the bumblebee didn't let me down here. 😂 I do a lot of sheet metal/auto body projects from home and I ended up switching from air tools to electric for the torque and bite. Great comparison lineup!

I love your channel and have purchased many tools based on your recommendations, especially corded and unpowered tools. I really appreciate your test methods and approach. Thanks! Many years ago I bought into Hitachi (now Metabo HPT) cordless tools and therefore I have stuck with them for better or worse. You often test the 18V tools but not the 36V versions. I was wondering if you could do at least a comparison of the two. Especially for the angle grinder and reciprocal saw. It would also be interesting to see how the German Metabo compares in your testing. Thanks again for your excellent work!

Thank you for making these videos. I appreciate the amount of effort you put in to keep everything as unbiased as possible. I have a request. If you could please start to include Flex tools whenever you are testing tools. They are Lowe's exclusive and just came out in 2021. They are a premium brand that would be compared with DeWalt and Milwaukee. Thank you again and I always look forward to your videos.

Great job as usual PFG. Grinder, Oscillating saw, Reciprocating saw, are likely the next Tools I am going to adopt to go with my 18 V batteries. I also bought a 12 Volt kit About a year ago because it was a fantastic price. I wanted a smaller, lighter drill to handle operations that are delicate. I got a 12 V impact, Drill, reciprocating saw, flashlight, Charger and two small batteries for $200. I forget if I got the right angle impact with that kit. But I have one now. Quarter inch drive. I know your readers want to hear how other readers digest your information and go through the Drill of buying more products that will have great impact on their life. So I am happy to help. Thanks not necessary. The latest adoptee is A half inch impact wrench that has four torque settings. The greatest torque is something like 900 foot pounds! It made short work of the task I needed to do on the day I bought it. One January 24. Now a couple things that came to mind watching the Grinder video. Should you not have done a density test on the rebar to see if the steel used was consistent, hence providing the same resistance, for each cut? Another is During the vibration test I was curious how the pair of What appeared to be sweat pants laying on the workbench with the tool on top could become compressed after each tool was tested. Therefore making those tested later in the order more likely to Transmit greater vibration to your testing receptor since they would be setting on a surface that was more rigid. I am also curious what brand of sweatpants, thread count, and Do you intend to discard the sweatpants after this test? It looked like they had a couple years left of wear in them. But I think you were likely like me and any rag, towel, or article of clothing that has made the transition from the house to the shop does not visit the burn pile or the landfill until it is religious or saturated with any manner of nasty substance. That is anything like or similar to a petroleum product or adhesive that would Make one question their mental state if they decided to clean it. Religious? Any textile that becomes too holy.

@@garycarpenter2932 Once you get past the 18V and 20V cordless systems into the 36-60V (and even 120V) battery systems that are becoming far more common, the batteries are starting to be able to put out as much or even more power than you can get out of a 15A 120V AC circuit.

Great video but as a Bosch user I definitely would've liked to see the newer brushless model of the Bosch used in the test. I've had the old one and it was decent but the newer style that have been out for a couple of years are brushless, much more powerful and ergonomic. Great testing methods though 👍

Yep, I am a Ridgid user as well. Like their tools and basically got started because of the warranty. So you get the base tools and batteries and I believe most people go with what batteries they currently own. Milwaukee tools always do well in the head to head comparisons; however, they are tested using the best batteries they have. Ridgid testing seems to use the older battery tech. I bet using the best battery from Ridgid and Milwaukee they would be almost the same. This guy is a good as consumer reports and seems like a heck of a nice guy to boot.
