I definitely have looked at Milwaukee longingly for a long time and so that’s what I chose when I want to dual platform and they are excellent tools. I’ve enjoyed them a lot, but I always stick firm to the studs and duds, I was so disappointed in the Milwaukee M12 right angle drill, so now I like the opportunity to grab from different platforms if a particular tool isn’t up to snuff. I think in Milwaukee, it’s definitely a more rare occurrence but hey it happens. I am super happy that my sponsor has a lot of Milwaukee for sale so I get a lot of fun Milwaukee tools to play with regularly :-)

@@BitnerBuilt the M12 SDS drill is best suited for not much more than Tap-Cons, it’s not strong definitely an oops but it barely got the job done.

@@monteglover4133 very very interested to hear that, been wanting to do an SDS Video. With my lighting business we have to drill into concrete a lot for anchoring lots of diff material from very hard commercial pours, block, and then residential.

@@BitnerBuilt it’s light weight might be good for overhead work

Nice how are those knockoffs never tried them

Definitely not hated! Along time ago, I had a Ryobi drill, driver set and a friend of mine who is a contractor laughed at me and called it tinker tools, I really would not say that about this brand today they have some excellent tools in their lineup, I can honestly rave all day about the Brad nailer, and it really is a quality tool that works every time I use it, and I use it daily. It’s actually the one that I reach for all the time as opposed to my Makita nailer‘s, my Makita, Brad nailer that I had had the problem of every single time it was cold, and I was shooting the very first nail it misfired every single time so then I had to get into a habit of grabbing a scrap piece of wood the first time I was gonna shoot a nail so that I didn’t damage my project, now that I have a Ryobi battery it’s definitely freed me up to pick up any of those tools. If I see a really good ones!

I got the Ryobi 6 battery charger a few months ago. I like it because I can carry the charger and 6 batteries into a job with one hand. On the job all the batteries are in one place and ready to use.

@@zone4garlicfarm very cool, yea I have seen that charger, very handy for someone heavy into that platform!

@@BitnerBuilt My primary tool line is Bosch but Ryobi's selection has things Bosch is lacking. I'm planning to get the Bosch 6 pack charger soon.

@@zone4garlicfarm overall how do you like Bosch? I’m comparing three of their jigsaw’s right now to Dewalt Makita in Milwaukee. I see a lot of cool engineering and then I also see some bad decisions😂

Thanks so much Ryan!

Good to know that you have had a battery mess up from the adapters, I haven’t personally had it happen but know it’s definitely a risk. Totally agree on the OEM, but some people have a completely different take and would rather have 5 $15 batteries that die sometimes, Over 1 overprice 85 etc. I would rather not risk my tool, but I definitely understand their financial logic.

So nice of you!

Oh great! Yea numbers don’t lie, so I’m happy to have them as a sponsor!

I saw that adapter for Dewalt, that one I wouldn’t have any reservation about using whatsoever because it was the actual manufacturer making it so that across the Dewalt platform you could use anything you wanted. Big +1 for them on that for their customers, they could’ve just made you have different batteries from the money perspective. I agree on the glue gun!

@Bitner Built Woodworking yep big +1 for them indeed. They didn't need to make that adapter and no one else was, but they did. I have 4 now, because I bought one of those tool kits when I was just starting that had a drill, impact, recip, and jigsaw. All of those have adapters and it's great. Still good tools and still work fine. Also agree on the big vs small batteries. I run 2ah on my drills and for small tasks but have a few 4ah for my 20v circ saw, the recip, and jigsaw which need the runtime.

Right! The nailers are 100% the thing that started me off being all Makita. They have other very good tools, the best palm routers etc but man the nailers. My finish nailer is it gonna be the next to go, , whenever it’s cold and it’s going to make its first fire it always always misfires and leaves the nail halfway out. I know it’s going to do it, so I always shoot a scrap piece of wood first so it doesn’t ruin my project.

@@BitnerBuilt I have the teal 23 ga and it works but doesn’t work with a lot of lengths. I build furniture and don’t use nailers that often except brad and pin nailers. I’ll dig out the air nailers if I need something else. No more Makita nailers for me. That said, I’ve got about a dozen Makita tools I wouldn’t give up including my first, a 17 year old drill/driver (in white). Plus I love their sub-compacts.

Yeah, I don’t know why they don’t do the combo charger with all Milwaukee products it would be so much easier, you would think it would be easier from them from a manufacturing supply chain perspective as well, cool, thanks for all the info!

👍

Suresaftysourcesupply.com can’t compete with one of the big box retailers if they sold the batteries at the same high markup that they do, people would always choose the big name over this random website they’ve never heard of. so he literally only makes a few bucks on each tool sale, so that he can sell as many as possible. Better to sell 1000,000 at a dollar profit then 20 at a $50 profit Kind of mentality. Trust me when I met with the owner for sponsorship. That was the first question I had! I actually purchased a couple items from them first because I found their crazy price through a Google search. But I was very hesitant to do so because it was a website I have never heard of and honestly people have gotten very used to only buying from the big websites that they know. So after I received my tools, I made sure to leave some video reviews on their site, because I wanted people to know that the site was legit, they then reached out to me and we’re like we love your videos in your shop. Could you do more of these for us!

Cool to hear from the Netherlands!👍Yea we have those too, but it’s usually only the core tools that you already have in another brand, if you wanted to say, get the Milwaukee M 12 detail sander (several of my friends want it after trying mine) but all of them immediately said oh but I’d have to get batteries etc and those free battery deals are never on the “other” tools, at least here

Yes, those M 12 batteries I don’t know what they were thinking about that, they really can be the hardest batteries to get on and off

The new High Output M12 batteries are easier to get out. Where you squeeze them is less rigid/hard. Definitely an improvement.

@@tobytootimes7639 agreed but id still say they are the hardest of any of the major battery brands to remove, was just at the store playing with the other brands I didn't show in the video and everyone has some sort of button

@@BitnerBuilttrue. I have some Bosch 12V tools and their batteries have the same issue. I really like the compactness but they can be a beast to get out.

That’s great info Rex. When I got into Makita over the past 15 years, majority of those batteries were bought on the early end of that timeframe and I’ve only had one ever die and two of the oldest have a noticeable reduction in how much they hold, so I really can’t say anything bad about that friends batteries from my own experience. I really like hearing about other brands from people who have had them for very long time. See how they hold up!

I hear ya, I think I didn’t buy a tool from another platform for 10 years maybe? It was only when I absolutely had to get a cordless glue gun, and Ryobi was the only one who made one.

@@BitnerBuilt which is strange that no one else has made one. Hell Dewalt makes a cordless pressure washer that's great for light duty (washing car or glass shower door) but no glue gun. Go figure

@@MrCypherdiaz hey when I was only on Makita, we did have a battery operated coffee maker… But also no hot glue gun 😂

Tell my tongue that 😂

What I was referring to a size and weight, some beginners get in the habit of only grabbing the biggest, heaviest battery they have every single time, never touch then smaller batteries at all, in reality it’s not necessary a lot of the time. If you’re a tradesmen who’s going to go sink 1000 deck screws sure, but if your having your impact to go do a general repair in your home, or build a small cabinet, grabbing the HO big battery is silly for all the size and weight your carting around.

@@BitnerBuilt I agree 💯% but do you agree that in high demand applications you are required to use the higher mAh cell battery?

@@TacticalThib absolutely! Maybe I didn’t articulate it 100%. For a beginner video I was really trying to focus on the fact that beginners just only grab that big heavy high output battery all the time every single time even if you’re just using it to do a minor repair on some thing in your home. when you need it for a high power application absolutely. It’s more I see a guy with a 8ah HO on an impact who is removing a electrical outlet cover 😂 right tool and battery for the job.

You must be looking at the wrong one I just looked Milwaukee 5ah for $55.99 here’s the link. Also make sure you go on the page and click the button for price. Milwaukee’s sale rules require them to show the retail price and then when you click the button, you can see the sale price safetysourcesupply.com/collections/milwaukee/products/milwaukee-48-11-1850-m18-redlithium-xc5-0-extended-capacity-battery-pack-2

Lol
