Can't believe KZfaq allows that rough 2-on-1 hammering.

Props for showing the result of the click-bait thumbnail in the first 30 seconds.

I finally found out what S, H, and T stand for. I kid you not I spent 10 minutes searching for a model that had it, since they use 1-4 or a 1-9 digital display now, and then had to look through a PDF of the operator's manual. Soft, Hard, and Tighten. Soft for a gentler blow, Hard for really beating on your nuts, and Tighten to get it right to the edge without busting it. In case anyone was wondering, it was driving me crazy.

high speed camera on the internals of a working impact gun, way cool!

uhmw has superior wear resistance against low speed abrasion compared to hard steel. Its tougher so it deforms around abraision points and springs back rather than fretting, micro fracturing, or the plastic flow of softer steel.

12:40 "you gotta be shiting Me" 10 seconds later "no, no I did that on purpose, I'm a genius!" love it, and love this channel

one of these guns just survived a 25' drop at our jobsite yesterday. battery poped out. put er back in. no problems at all. no cracks.. nothing. kind of amazing

Im in school now to be a machinist and ive been running around the shop saying "Skookum as frig!" WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?!

I have been pleasuring myself with the Makita for the past 2 weeks and I am in love. Plenty of torque and really handles my wood like a pro

"Wouldn't be able to take much load because the balls are so small" I know that problem, bro.

better than Saturday morning cartoons!

I used to work with Makitas all the time building wind turbines. Once, one of them felt from the third tower to the second one inside (right next to me). It was a 25m drop. Grabbed it, pushed the button and continued to work (Note: it dropped on a metal floor, not on a soft spot that could work as a "pillow"). They are great tools.

Ah, so that's how the Chineseium drill bits are made haha

Thanks for the shout out. Great pick for the milling music, it's my plant's maintenance crew theme song!

A plastic spacer is a good thing. Why would you want metal-on-metal friction on a passive part?

Love your videos! I work at an Ace hardware and these videos help me explain to customers just how complex tools and fasteners really are. Thanks for your commitment!

Great teardown! Since I own this impact driver myself, I am very glad to see, that I bought a good quality tool.

I remember, back when I was a young child, my dad had Makita drills, the real old kind with the big long battery that stuck itself in the handle.

I can't get over the engineering. The sheer genius of design and invention. I realize everyone stands on the shoulders if the previous creator, but goddamn...just amazing to watch you disassemble and explain the work behind the tools...thx!

0:45 it actually only twisted 1.5x as there are 6 sides originally

AvE shows us how to CAREFULLY remove stickers off of tools, etc so as to avoid voiding the warranty, then he machines a big hole in the driver end of an impact drill. I'm so confused! Joking aside, great videos!

Cool stuff as always, thanks! I agree, I like the lower weight but I'm tired of the plastic clamshell overmolds! I miss the days of solid metal housings that you could clean with a rag and some gas!

AvE thank you for helping my anxiety and Asperger's there is nothing more satisfying than tearing something down other than watching someone else repeat my process

still waiting for AvE to discover the Hitachi Power Tools brand, so he can start tearing those apart.

the extra setting is for tek screws it adjusts the speed once it feels resistance.

The music major in me appreciates the concert band music, while the 10 year old me who disassembled almost everything in the house appreciates the rest of the vijeo.

These guns are the best of them all. I work in the RV (Camping Trailer) business. These brushless Makita guns are the favorite 4 to 1 over all other brands combined. I own the first version of the Transmission model and still works like a dream after years of heavy industrial use.

Worked for a contractor in an Intel factory, I've been handed this impact driver brand new. Most of the work was attaching pipe hangers on the ceiling H rails - 22mm bolts, alot.. I was absolutely amazed - the auto-impact setting lets you tighten to a certain degree, keeping the trigger pressed and it starts ramping up the torque - got another couple of turns effortlessly as if the bolt was loose again. Awsome tool 👍👍👍😎

The slow motion footage of the hammering mechanism was amazing! Never seen something like that.

Without a doubt, the best tool review yet.

No lie, the potatovision "through the looking glass" speed hole in the top was fucking amazing. You get an A+ and a golf clap from me today for that. Honestly, that came out FAR better than I expected.

Oh Man the laugh I had when you put her back together and the freshly machined viewing port was obstructed. That was gold.

I've always wondered what the difference would be between the control loop in a brushless system like this in comparison to the ones in the hobbyist RC motors I'm familiar with. Those only have 3 wires for power to each field, and that's it.

Cold air intake for tools? Why didn't I think of that? It's genius.

"we'll just put this back together so we can watch her chooch. Oh no" This is what makes this channel great. We've all been there.

The narration is given in the barest shop/garage grammar, but it does not subtract from the excellent descriptive summaries of the bill of materials and enginerding processess. An unparalleled introduction to troubleshooting and root cause investigations. A real pro presentation. Best mfking teardown video on yourtube.

"I don't want to weaken it" >removes thickest part of housing

The rubber over molding keeps the driver from sliding on a flat surface like a roof.

This guys sense of humor is amazing.

My grandfather always loved makitas. He Used to have a bunch of life size makita girl posters in his shop. He used to have the old green ones with the battery that resembled a magazine on a pistol.

I am in Japan for my yearly trip, Makita comes in 6, yes 6 colors! Want a 36V brown or red Makita?

You aren’t even using a brushless Milwaukee lol

I love my Makita impact driver. It is one of the most ridiculously well balanced power tools I've ever used in my life in terms of weight distribution. This is a huge plus when you're using it at weird angles sideways upside down and so forth in terms of the strain it it's on your wrist. It is incredibly powerful and runs for a long time on a charge.

Very cool to see the high speed camera footage looks pretty awesome @AvE

couldn't be better timed. Shopping that makita right now.

I like how you used a brushless makita against a brushed milwaukee..... Get a milwaukee fuel so it's comparable to your tool and see what happens.

The way impact drivers work is extremely brutal, it hammers itself into submission!

This world needs more of these head 2 head tests.

I wonder what kinda quality junk is in the blackened pecker 20v max impact.

You should try this with a 3rd gen Milwaukee impact driver

spent a full day of quality time with the new little makita brushless sub-compact hex-bit drive ... lordy, lordy, it packs a mighty wallop ... It's a very impressive thing with the 2.0Ah battery and just keeps going, when I switched to the 5.0Ah battery borrowed from the chainsaw, it made 4 inch coach bolts into redwood seem like drilling 3/32nd pilot holes into pine ... the new "A" mode (torque limits to drive screws) is marvelous, just keeps adding torque to maintain rip-'em ... goes from a quiet whirr to a clattering gatling gun driving the bolts home. Saved me a lot of grief on a ladder balancing with my knees.

you know I am not an engineer, or a handman, but I love this channel.

Very cool. But brushed milwaukee didn't stand a chance against brushless makita

I think the two ratings are under different conditions: max speed 3600rpm with no load and 1900rpm with infinite load. Amazing slowmo shot there! Are you planning to get a dedicated non-potato high speed camera? Also doesn't the hammer retract because the motor twists the spring and pulls back the hammer?

I like the most beautiful way to describe the impactor.

Oh man the humour and personality is what keeps me coming back.

that was amazing in the beginning there

I think tool manufacturers could make a fortune by putting windows in or making see through tools. everyone is curious to see how shit works.

I did this when i restored a piece of old (100 and some) fence. And at the time my forge setup sucked balls. So i did what all industrious people do, used a Makita to twist 1cm thick bar. It worked, for a while, until i cooked the battery in its own juices. Smelled like burnt pork for a few days after that.

yay thank you for putting that part at the beginning unlike how all the clickbaiters would have put a tiny snippet of that at the beginning and then put the rest of it in the middle of the video.

Thanks AvE, Thanks to your channel I went out and bought my first impact wrench. The only problem is I am now looking for stuff to use it on over and above the one I bought it for... *evil cackle* My toolkit used to be all electronics and computers. It is now half mechanicals as well. Doing the welding on my van, installing a tow bar this weekend and much more. You are an inspiration........ And a trouble causer :)

A lot of the big Makita gear is actually still built in the UK 💪

AvE, I never knew what an impact driver was for or how they worked until I watched this video. Thank you sir! Probably going to start my Milwaukee M18 tool collection with an impact driver now.

One of the best channels I've come across on the Tube...thanks for the edutainment.

The makita didn't win. The bit broke at the Milwaukee because it was either of a defect in the bit or the Milwaukee was had more rpms than the makita.

So 5amp battery and brushless ... against a 10yr old Milwaukee drill with a regular battery hahaha

so glad I found this channel....this guy knows everything about everything

I think the max spinning speed is measured without load and the hammering frequency is measured with load, and the actual motor speed at that moment drops significantly.

6:40 METAL GEAR!? IT CAN'T BE!!!

12:39 - To be expected from old Bumblefuck.

6:42 Beavis and Butthead laughter while extracting the choocher.

"To the eBay machine!" Laughed my ass off.

Looking forward to the Millsuckie review. I'm partial to the red and black team colors even if they are no longer made in WI and less choochy.

saturday morning cartoons!!!

that first brain fart window you cut, gold! lol thumbs up for your work mate

Truly fascinating. Thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to show `'Hammer Action". I never really understood before.

the Milwaukee is not the "fuel" one but the less powerful one

hey you don't have a nickname Makita

Just wanted to say thanks for your Makita tear down. I held off buying cordless tools for years because I thought they were low on torque and rather anemic. But now after buying the impact torque wrench from Makita... HOT DAMN! That's a beast! Will need a bigger battery though. Thanks!

I saw that coming, after dismantling many impacts, that flat part of the aluminum housing is there to help it stay together with the plastic housing and keep it from spinning

Try your makita with Milwaukee fuel and we talk after!

Skookum as Frig

That's AvE: he shows you something you wouldn't have thought possible, then he carefully screws-up a good idea, which he fixes to show you something really cool!!

I bought a Makita impact driver a few years back. Its a beautiful tool. Love it.

Wooo

The Milwaukee is not a brushless no fare!

a new upload makes my night shift fixing a bucket conveyor way better 👍

Thank you for Nick Moore! Loved his snail egg video!!!! Binge watching him today!!!!

Early commenter gets the pin!

notification gang

that's quite an impressive demonstration of the torque of geared down DC motors. All in the first 45 seconds too. If I smoked I'd have a ciggy now

ave brings out the 4 year old in me i dont know why it just takes me back to when i did some stupid shit

Milwaukee Wins dont be confused.........

I knew something interesting was coming up when I heard the circus music. Well done.

Really cool cut away, thanks for showing exactly how that works.

I appreciate when you show us the mistakes that any one of use would. Also bloody funny.

I bought this particular Makita toy a couple months back - now I don't know how I've gone 4 decades without an impact driver.

Thanks for teardown, now I know that I will not regret buying this tool!

Came here for thumbnail, as I did the same thing with my Makita and my Craftsman. Didn't take long to see which would win lol. This is funny! i'm a subscriber !

I say to myself "it would be so cool to see that mechanism in slow motion" a minute later it happens.... awesome!
