    I am a big Makita fan, but it appears that the 40v XGT impact is somewhat of a dud. I think they just fit a 36v batter onto a XDT19. I hope they have something better in the works. As to the torque result, I think Milwaukee is the king for pure power. But power isn't everything. I still have my brushed impact Makita from 2007 and it still runs on common Makita batteries. It's driven way over a million screws, been dropped a bunch. All the aesthetic trim pieces are gone and is worn to the point where it looks like I dragged it behind my truck. Still runs great! Makita is the Toyota of tools. Not flashy, but lasts and lasts.

    Not a dud. These tests aren't things you'd use an impact for. They're to see what the limits are. You wouldn't use an impact to drive a 10 in lag, you would use a drill so it's not really relevant.

    The real test unfortunately will take about 6-7 yrs to see the durability aspects. I can only speak anecdotally to the reliability of Makita vs Milwaukee especially on their high end line. Makita just will last longer and I noticed that wobble at 1:50. That really bothers me on impacts when you're in a precarious position and only have one hand to steady the driver. There's more to performance than just specs and having an extra second quickness. The philosophy almost perfectly compares to boring Toyotas (detuned, lower performance but well within spec) vs maxxed out half-baked Jeeps/Dodges. The lots are empty on one with no discounts, the other is stacked with incentives.

    With Makita having a much more balanced rpm, it’s definitely smoother impact. Milwaukee however with its higher rpm and torque makes it more rougher to handle and less smooth but definitely stronger. I will say Milwaukee’s biggest design flaw is the rear fan vent. That thing will slap you with some small rocks and sand.

    Makita ergonomics and trigger are far superior. It isnt all about power. I run both Makita (since 2011) and Milwaukee (Started buying M12 & M18 last 3 years) Ive only had 1 makita tool break and they warrantied it. Had it back the next day fixed. Ive had to warranty 5 or 6 Milwaukee tools at this point. They definitely dont last but their warranty is super. Never waited more then a week and had a brand new tool returned from my local repair center. I do have to say though, other the the grip on the M12s due to battery design, i do love that line up of 12V. Theyve got everyone else beat there hands down.

    I personally own Makita Impact drivers, a Makita cordless drill, and a corded Makita drill from 1990, and they all run great. I am loyal to the Makita brand. I have friends who are die-hard Milwaukee owners. I have to admit, Milwaukee makes really dam good power tools. I'm a loyalist, so I will only buy Makita products with my money, but if someone bought me a Milwaukee power tool for Christmas, I would be happy. I don't think you could go wrong with either brand, just pick the one you want to bond with for the rest of your life cause that's what most power tool owners do is start a tool collection without even knowing it.

    ​@@wayevsHow are they behind when they're already on the 3rd gen Makita and this is the 1st gen? They're comparing an older model Makita(from 2020)to the latest Milwaukee. This 1st gen Makita 40v was simply an adaption of the 18v model to the new battery line, but they've since come out with 2 impact drivers uniquely made for the 40v line.

    You don't get a 5 year warranty with registration for Makita in the states? Interesting. Also, one more thing to consider if buying into one of these platforms is other tools that are available.

    This comment is for all of those who use tools like this and understand them: Take videos and reviews like this with a grain of salt. I use (and own) Milwaukee, Makita, and DeWalt (Plus much more that is to long to list here). They each have their own strengths and weaknesses. Ryobi, Bosch. etc. are also worth considering. This is not a scientific experiment. Don't subject yourself to brand loyalty. Buy the tools you like and want. If Milwaukee has the best impact wrench, I'll use that, then. If DeWalt had the best orbital sanders, belt sanders, planers, I'll use that. If Makita has a bit more precision and comfort and feel for drilling a hole or slapping in a lag screw with more accuracy I'll use that. Cosider the task at hand and what needs to be done. You can have all of these tools. Don't be tricked into thinking you MUST go with one brand forever. Get the best you can from all of them. "you can't have the best of both worlds." , B.S. I have the best of 3 worlds., and counting. Exapnd your lineup wisely between brands, not just the tools.

    I was almost lured into the cool innovative ways of Makita and they have some speedy powerful fun stuff. But as Makita is raising their prices and showing off I have come to realize that Milwaukee makes strong and tough tools that stand the test of time. Maybe not always first on the ball, but when they make something they make it good. They also have better synergy with the batteries, that can be used across the machines. Makita splits up into 18v and 40v on the bigger machines. I don't like that. Only complaint I have is the awkward start and stop buttons on the jigsaw. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I can't get comfortable with it. I'd like a thumb on/off switch at the top. But I'm very happy with the machines from Milwaukee.

    Makita does have some tools that are awful. The angle grinders I have are crap. Ended up buying a bauer from harbor freight and it’s actually awesome and way smoother. Same with Makita’s multi tool. It sucks and is a huge reason I switched to Milwaukee. They just have better tools across the board. Dewalt is stepping it up too. I never liked their tools cause they felt poor quality but now I’d consider buying them. I don’t see myself going back to Makita any time soon simply because they are way too much money for the performance you get. Their circular saws are the only thing I miss and milwaukee’s circ saws get the job done.
