Review: The best fan for rock climbing

We review and break down what the best fan is for climbing. No one (that we know of) has got stuck into all the things us climbers need from our fans. With the help of my 6 year old daughter we look at price, weight, functionality, robustness, airflow and how well it’ll fit in your pack or boulder pad.
There was one clear winner in the end.
The fans reviewed are:
Milwaukee M18 AF-0
Makita DCF102Z 18V
Ryobi R18HF-0
We had fun making this and are psyched to make more.

    This video is AMAZING!! Thanks so much for putting so much detail and effort into making it! I’m stuck in Hong Kong (because of Covid) so forced to do another summer climbing in sweltering heat (36-38C every day in the shade and 80-90% humidity), so i want to get a fan to make it more bearable than last summer. Hopefully Covid travel restrictions end soon so I can go climb where it’s cooler! (Squamish or Australia in July/August). Anyway, this video really helped!! I look forward to future videos! You guys are awesome!!

    This may be unfair to Makita. They make 3 sizes for the fans and you are using the smallest/cheapest one to compare to the larger models of the other brands.

    i bought the makita for camping, i dont have the other batteries, i have makita to ryobi adapter, but still chose makita since i already have the battery, though my bigger makita 18v fan failed in less than a year.. im quite satisfied with its run time, also being smallest of the 3 means better for back packing and camping. unlike my my old nonworking makita 18v fan, ill be only using it every now and then, for outdoor and camping(which rarely happens) instead of using as a house fan replacement.. so far loving the size , weight and duration.

    Thank you for making video, more powerful fan is going to come at the expensive of how long battery will last, I am looking at these to use in a bedroom when it’s hot so quietest and longest run time are important 😀

    牧田多台電風扇裡這台是最小台可愛的,可調上下又可自動左右擺頭,上禮拜買一台這禮拜也想再買一台,風速雖然無法跟工業電風扇比但小巧好帶又可電池和插電真的不錯,做的可調把手掛勾也很方便,我只用過這台其他牌我就不知道了

    The makita may blow the weakest, but i lt will outlive both of them 2 times over.

    The Robi yeah but the Milwaukee absolutely not. The plastic that Milwaukee uses is significantly thicker and it's a better plastic than Makita. There is a video on KZread that is a destruction test and the Milwaukee was almost indestructible even with constantly throwing in on a concrete slab as hard as he could I've been in the construction industry for 20 years and I've used them all and I can attest that when it comes to durability Milwaukee is the best. I'm more than 4000$ in Milwaukee and I've never once had a tool fail. I have a box of broken Makita tools. My Robi tools have outlasted my Makita. I have a "blue" Robi drill that still works fine.
