No problem! Glad to hear it helped!

Yeah a little lol, I have watched a few of his videos but not many to be honest, I sometimes find he hasn’t tested a model in that category I was interested in. So I try to do them all if I’m testing something lol 😂 to determine which is best. I like the data and testing torque test channel does. Yeah don’t really know why the sub count is so low. Hopefully it goes up and the view count goes up. Really want to do more but like most things limited by the $. Thanks! On this one I notice the mic got a little messed up, noticed the issue after the fact but it has been resolved.

@@Tools-Tested literally ended up here b/c project farm didn't have a heat gun video. Thanks man!

what stuff did you have in mind?

Good comment. Made me feel a bit guilty so I subbed!😂

I didn't even look at the poster, I saw the thumbnail and thought it was project farm and clicked it

Yep with some interesting results.

Thanks for the sub!

Yeah I was looking for a review and comparison, couldn't find one so I made one lol.

No problem!

The true luxury model will be the Makita. Their tools have come a long way since the 9.6V models.

Thanks! Glad it was helpful!

No problem, yeah makes it easier when in the nozzle is hot.

Thanks, Yeah I didn't expect the Milwaukee to do that bad.

Thanks for the sub! Now we just need to see a Flex version with the new stacked battery.

This would be a great tool for Metabo HPT 36V and AC adapter capable for those higher temps I have their corded version and it is a great runner

Thank you! Will do!

Glad it helped!

No problem, thanks for the sub!

Thanks! The Dewalt works really well with the PowerStack, not a bad option seeing your running Dewalt.

Thanks, Yep I don't think most channels take into account how much the battery can effect performance of the tool. Im hoping to grow my collection of battery's over the next few months so I can determine which packs have the lowest voltage drop by tool manufacture.

Some say the Milwaukee 6h high output provides more than the 8ah high output. Only way that’s possible is if it has higher rate discharge cells inside

Lol yep!

Awesome, thank you!

Thanks! Dang 22 batteries!

Nice it’s a good heat gun, that’s what I ended up keeping. Thanks for the sub!

No problem! Glad to hear it helped!

Thanks!, yeah it took me sometime to figure out how to animate them.

Yes, very helpful!

Yeah you picked well, I agree corded is the best way to go. Yep when you are away from power these are more convenient.

Thanks for the sub! Will do, have some great content in the works!

Thanks! Nice!

Makita does consistently make quality tools. A few years ago, I was looking at a cordless platform. I looked at all the brands and whittled them down to just two, between Makita and DeWalt. I created an elaborate Excel sheet rating each cordless skin by reading and watching the hundreds of reviews. I prices checked skins, batteries, accessories, tool selection, and value. DeWalt had introduced their 54v series at the time, which was cross-compatible with the XR range, so for me at that time, DeWalt won my purchase. Now that Makita has introduced their 40v series, they make a compelling incentive to switch to their brand. I think once you are invested with a cordless Brand platform, you should stick with it. Batteries are more expensive than skins sometimes, so if you have five or six batteries, it is not worth swapping brands.

Makita is always the best choice. Reason being that their tools are always at the top and you can buy other tools for maintenance at home. So as a contractor you buy the mower on the same platform. No other brand has that. Now the microwave or fridge etc…

No problem!

Thanks! Good to hear my results match your experience. Yeah Milwaukee definitely a letdown for the price.

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks!

Thanks!, Yeah the Bauer is defiantly the best bang for the $ when you add the 5ah. Y Yeah its kinda weird, Kobalt has good power, I just don't care for the build quality, just feels cheap to me.

Great to hear! Yeah if you already have the Craftsman platform its the best value play.

@@Tools-Tested Picked up the Craftsman last night. I think it's gonna work. I also found the Kobalt and Craftsman Torque wrenches you compared there too. Your channel is definitely going to be my first place to check when I need something new.

Yeah I need to test them at some point. But I can say even the top cordless ones can’t even come close to a base cored version.

Yep they just need to sell it now in the US! Thanks!

Makita - over 110 years old... always been Makita - never anything else More tools than anyone on a true one battery platform 18V along with X2 Debt-free since early 1960s - unheard of Quality - ergonomics - service - best overall in the business People say they are behind in battery tech... they have been always well ahead, where it counts, but the typical construction person doesn't understand this: - Have been shipping only fast chargers for 10 years already - they put the tech into the chargers to monitor current and heat and also have a fan keeping the battery cool to maximize battery life while fast charging. A lot of companies STILL haven't figured that out yet, with some having fast chargers as an option, but don't have the intelligence to do it right in the charger. - Have always made their own motors, not outsource it - Built-in around 13 countries, including here in America. Never left America like a lot of other companies did - True one battery system that can use the most often used 18V and also 36V with two batteries for those higher power applications... True one battery system is not truly appreciated unless you are a real construction person running a jobsite with a lot of cordless tools Can't go wrong with Makita.

@@Tools-Tested They sell in the US now, I have one. Purchased from Acme Tools

No problem! Glad it helped!

Can't beat free!

Yeah its awesome! No problem thanks!

Yeah what really gets me is no nozzles are provided with it! You cant go wrong with the plugin version!

Nice!, yep I really do like that it has the trigger lock.

Thanks! Yeah in the end it really depends on the platform you are running. Milwaukee defiantly has a good amount of tools they need to update.

This is a question, not an attempt to start an argument - for a tool like this where almost all the load is resistive heating elements rather than a motor, would brushless make much of a difference? I'm guessing no, because the only motor here is the fan motor, which is a relatively small low-watt motor.

@@johnnewell5025 If Milwaukee simply went to brushless motor without making any internal improvements, then no. If they actually did a complete overhaul and create something new with a brushless motor. Then yes.

Yep the glue gun is also nice and cheap compared to Ryobi. Overall I don't think you can go wrong with Bauer for the money.

Lol, I have some good content in the works that might cost you even more.. @Torque Test Channel Has no review on it? I know dewalt did just launch a few.

No kidding im sure its expensive to do these reviews and i will check out that video I havent seen it yet

Thanks! Yeah I don't know what the deal is there, spend 150 and then have to buy nozzles what the .....

The Metabo is better than the Makita variable speed? Is it hotter/faster?

@@leaguefixesyourmatches8259 2 speed lock on. Digital temperature control. Higher cfm fan. Yes better than the Makita which is my main tool line.

@@sixtyfiveford Oh damn! Any good makita to metabo adapters? I'm in the makita line too.

@@leaguefixesyourmatches8259 "tools & stuff" (a Makita nut) did a good video comparing the Makita to the Metabo about a year ago.

Interesting, I did just purchase the metabo a few weeks ago. But I probably won't get around to testing it for a while. Thanks for the info!

Interesting, thanks for the info! Im hoping to get the new 6ah soon and put it to the test.

Yep the CFM is very low.

It sure can, defiantly a good gun just wish it had a lock on trigger. Yeah I just did 30s temp and then max temp.

Probably a function of the lower cfm.

Yeah I see its on preorder, hopefully I can pick one up at some point.

If you end up revisting this topic in another video I'd really appreciate seeing how a Steinel stacks up :) they're considered the absolute gold standard for heatguns in Germany

Nice, the Dewalt is defiantly a good heat gun for the money!

@@Tools-Tested I have mostly makita tools, few Milwaukee and Dewalt

Sorry I didn't chart that...but that portion was in real time, so looking back looks like they are all about around 45 seconds each Yeah I seen that old Ridgid online, I agree sounds like the better idea, but yeah the reviews are bad on it.

Sadly they are all long gone, I end up selling the tools so I can buy others for testing and review. That being said, I don't see why they couldn't do the the job. Would be a little slower vs corded though. You cant beat corded for performance.

Did you ever find the answer to your question? I’m looking at getting a DEWALT heat gun

Sadly I can’t speak much for reliability long term. I only ended up keeping the Makita and Dewalt, both are only used a few times a week, that being said I haven’t had issues with them.

Hopefully at some point, I need to buy into the platforms.

Correction; Makita, Metabo hpt/ hg, Bosch, and Steinel mh5.

Yeah I can understand that

Hopefully in a month or so, I don't have any Metabo tools so I would need to get the heat gun, batterys and charger. Im currently out of $'s until some more of the tools I have tested sell on eBay. Hopefully thing will change soon and the videos will generate money, that way I can test more tools! But as of right now YT only pays me 275 a month lol

I don't think so, I have always used a torch.

Nope at the time I didn't have the batteries, hopefully later this year I will redo this video.

That’s tricky, I personally don’t care for adapters, but I understand. Seeing the Milwaukee is crazy over priced. One option would be to go Hercules then you could use the extreme battery packs. It’s another battery and charger but at least the extreme pack use quality Samsung cells.

@@Tools-Tested thanks for the reply. I'm still trying to decide. Greatly appreciated!

Nice, yeah I think its a decant gun for the price. I did like it had a lock.

Yep sadly I didn't run that test.

Yeah the Makita is pricy, Sounds like your slowly switching brands, not going to lie I have been impressed with Dewalt lately.

@@Tools-Tested yeah like the Makita tools I have but not every tool is worth the extra price

DeWalt seems to be listening and upping their game. Bought the 3" cutoff tool. It embarrasses the Milwaukee one I had...and sold. Thanks for the review of the heat guns.

No problem, yeah that dewalt cut off tool makes the Milwaukee look like a joke

Hopefully I can test HPT at some point, just need to find the $$$ lol. But it defiantly looks like a good heat gun!

Yeah really depends what you're using it for, CFM is a big factor if your trying to heat a large area.

Surprisingly I tried one in multiple positions, this spot provided the highest performance, which I agree is kinda odd.

Its really close between the two, I gave Makita #1 because it comes with 4 nozzles vs 2 with the Dewalt. Also the Makita has high/low fan speed and variable temp vs the dewalt with high/low. But dewalt has the power stack battery. Again to me it's really a toss up between the two. I sold the rest and currently still own both because I haven't really decided between them yet...

Hope to test it, others have also said good things about it.

Thanks!, yeah defiantly $$$ and noisy. I couldn't find anything on the warranty online. And the manual is in Japanese...........seeing I had to import it.

@@Tools-Tested It's awesome you went to the trouble though. I think if it was Made in Japan I'd be willing to risk it. But then again, a corded heat gun is like $10 at Harbor Freight.

Makita is 3 years on cordless tools. People get sold on warranties, which is crazy, as in the fine print, they are all based on -normal wear tear - or manufacturer's defects... The point is, go with the best product line and you can't go wrong in the long run. Makita is hard to beat

Over 200 dollars for the Mikita without a battery and charger is insane.🎉

Can’t find one in the US.

@@Tools-Tested not even Hilti Website?? 😳 i got the Nuron Usb adapter and blower from there

@@heavyspam1 nope not that I can find.

Yep no real performance differences when running 4ah/5ah just more so the (comfort features like Trigger lock, high low etc etc)

Yeah not near the power of the corded versions, hopefully some day with better battery tech. Yep love my cordless mower and its 3 years old now...

I hope to do it soon, I will need to buy into the Metabo line to test it though.

Yeah I'm starting to notice that.
