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.

Agreed. The Milwaukee is a nuclear bomb. But I want to know which is better driving 2” screws all day. Which vibrates more, which is louder, which one has more control. Speed should’ve be negligible for normal screws.
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.

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. Great review sir, excellent stuff ! 🚀🚀
Surprised NO reviewers seem to test trigger control of all the impacts, especially given Milwaukee made such a big deal of the Gen 4 trigger refinements. The only person I've seen focus on this is Doc of Last Best Tool, and he specifically commends the Surge line for much finer control.

It probably didn’t make a 4 second difference, but the person driving lags with the Makita should drive them straight, not at an angle. Also, I concur with not being sucked into one line of tools. There are adapters for every line (or virtually every line) to every other line.
I hope I get to your level one day. you videos are amazing!
We’ve used Makita and now Milwaukee at work, I’ve been blown away by Milwaukee. Nothing against Makita but Milwaukee just seems better. The lineup is better at HD too.
All of my chordless tools are milwaukee and they are amazing. But I tried my coworkers makita impact drivers a few times and I've gotta say those things are the smoothest and most comfortable impacts I've ever used. The speed and power isn't quite as good as milwaukee but if I had to use one or the other I'd choose makita. Only reason I don't own one is becuase I prefer to stick to one type of battery and I like more of the tools in milwaukees line than makitas. But makitas impact driver definetly beats milwaukees

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.

Power is important that's just a fanboy comment , a telescope which has 1000x zoom will be better than one with 500x it's the same with power and torque and that comment sounds like a fanboy Makita comment
My personal thoughts are makita is better for fine finish work .for framing Milwaukee is good. I have some of both in my tool arsenal
I think the 40volt.
I’ve been using makita, Milwaukee and DEWALT for years. If you want to quality tools. I would say makita. They are perfect for fine job.
Milwaukee might perform better on each test if you were running their newer HO 6.0 batteries

Should the Makita then also get a high output battery?
Use the makita with a 5 amp battery

Use the high output battery for the milwaukee then lol it makes a huge difference
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 has a full range of 18 volt and 18X2 (36V) tools for higher demand tools. You dont have to buy the XGT to use the higher performance 40 volt and newer batteries, but it helps. Anything milwaukee can do at 18 volt the makita will be in the same range and last a long time.

@@thorinbane you can’t use the 40v batteries in the 18v tools and that goes the other way too. They don't even have the same shape to fit. Now they sell a charger (freakin huge) that has 2 slots that has one slot for each. But that's it. You’ll need to split your machines in 2 groups. And that makes 3 groups with the 12v. And I don't like it. Pure and simple.

@@thorinbane And Makita puts the future in the XGT line. So you have to consider that if you go 18v.
I have found that the bigger battery makes the difference.

Every time he was going crooked on the makita 😂of course
I own Milwaukee but always bat an eye at the makitas my co workers use
Milwaukee burnout few times in my life and Makita is still alive just battery change few times... Makita is for life time in my case
The Milwaukee is great I just switched platforms because they make more plumbing tools .. that being said I think makitas qc is a lot better mine have lasted 10 years plus

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.

We all know Milwaukee is the king of the hill, I've had makita for years and still using it now, hell I'm still running dtd 171, don't need all that power, the way it feels in the hand and the finesse it offers with the different modes, all good with me, makita all the way.

Makita
its like the Kawasaki kx450 vs the Yamaha 450. do you want all power or manageable power tbh i like the color of makita and i have A company card so i just bough the 7 tool kit
I understand that makita is reliable but people comparing makita to toyota and milwaukee to dodge is disrespectful. Milwaukee is solid and reliable as well, maybe their batteries dont last as long as makita's do but its still nonetheless a hell of a brand with great reputation. I say a more accurate description would be toyota tundra vs the f150. Lets not forget the other garbage they have available for folks such as craftsman, blackndecker, ryobi, dewault lol.. I'd say if you have makita or milwaukee tools your good to go

Makita batteries die so fast but they do last long , I have some makita batteries from 2012 but I’m definitely a Milwaukee and Festool kind of guy but love my makita saws
Japanese makita just waiting for its chance to show its control and crazy power in this fight
Makita more refined and less vibration. He’s just a Milwaukee fanboy! Plus he doesn’t use the newest model of Makita, but he uses the newest model of Milwaukee. Notice yet to put two hands on the impact driver at first because there’s a lot of cam out with Milwaukee.
i love watching videos about tools. m18 tools malakas sa rpm its a beast. Bosch at Makita mahina ang rpm. Pagdating sa durability bosch germany and makita japan. ito ang mga tools na unang dumating sa pilipinas 😊
And a 2.5ah 40 volt battery is not equivalent to an 18 volt 5ah battery. The 2.5ah will die much sooner than the 5ah. Voltage has nothing to do with runtime. Amp hours = runtime
The milwaukee drill doesn't look the same after i watched Netflx..
Milwaukee is shaking so bad ,which means you have to hold it harder.

40v uses less amps to create the same amount of power. Therefore this is the most accurate comparison. As said in the video, the watt-hour ratings are about the same
