Milwaukee vs. Makita- Which Drill should you get for your GRCS?

Arborists test the winching power of the GRCS with the Milwaukee Super Hawg and the Makita 36v.

    I like the way you edited this! I love seeing how we ended up with two different videos here. Nicely done! Also really like the shot from the gopro on the enforcer. I'm going to have to do that in the future.

    Makita did good at choosing to go dual battery and thus 36V. Higher voltage means more power in a same-size package! More efficient since there is less current loss. One reason why big trucks and equipment are sometimes 24V instead of 12V.

    Makita also makes an 18V version that takes a single battery and produces about half the torque... Amd then there is the one for their 40V like...

    Guys. The super hawg has built in safety to prevent wrist snapping if rpms drop too low. This is not it's purpose. It's meant to drill big holes.

    I have that makita and it’s a beast. So much so my plumber is buying one to replace the Milwaukee crap. Even though he doesn’t have any makita tools…. Yet. The 40 volt version is even more powerful! You can get the earth auger attachment to drill holes for fencing.

    Yeah it is powerful. To be fair, it’s running 2 batteries. It’s a 36 volt vs an 18 volt. It’s like comparing a 60cc rear handle saw to a 35cc top handle. I still use the Milwaukee super hawg, since that one was mine. I love it, and it’s nice to know exactly how much tension I’m applying when the drill maxes out.

    In my experience, it works well for most grcs rigging. If you’re only tip tying and standing limbs up, 1000 lbs is plenty of pull, even if it’s a 3000 lbs limb, since the butt is supported by the hinge, and the drill isn’t seeing all the weight. The rigged piece def needs to be tip tied tho. And clearly the Makita is stronger. But there is zero chance i would ONLY hand crank. The drill is just so much faster, and a huge energy saver. I can always hand crank what’s left after the dill stalls if need be

    The low-speed gear ratio is 44:1 on this Harken winch. 46 refers to some sort of sailing reference...how big of a sail it can handle. Their rigging winches have a taller drum, and they handle bigger diameter rope. With a standard 46 winch you are limited to less wraps and 9/16" rope.
