Should’ve had a low speed time and a few ten foot flat drops onto the concrete.

XGT monsters

Xgt beats both these drills on power and torque and quality i would say

I need the makita xgt hp001g beast but was looking at the 18lxt xph14 dhp468 drill cause im not on the xgt platform yet

@@micjubba709 just get the XGT! I initially got the rear handle saw, it was so damn good I started moving into the xgt line. The drill absolutely blew my mind with how damn good it is! If you either need a good drill or a good circular saw, the XGT line is for you!

lol

I tape them off now for a certain depth

heck yea they have

When were they outsold?

@@WontSeeReplies Dewalt has been outsold by Milwaukee and other brands for several years. By outsold, I mean that people have been buying the other brands way more than Dewalt. Why do you think SBD is in financial trouble?

Deal with it.

@@ManCaverTools I wasn't criticizing your video, nor do I care which of the drills win. I'm just letting you know how they work because it seems like you think the turbo mode increases speed and decreases torque. Just trying to help.

@@ManCaverTools what a great attitude you have… man child.

I already did multiple videos on the flecvolt advantage. a flex volt advantage battery is not better than a battery with 21700 cells in it when its on a felxvolt advantage tool

@@ManCaverTools Who makes FLEX drill driver ❓❓

Flex failed on the 10” lag due to the anti kick back. I don’t think Dewalt has anti kickback.

I agree, it has an awesome hammer feature

This is a old video. Ive changed how I do these tests since this video I don’t even use logs anymore

@@ManCaverTools I think we’re all learning as we go through trial and error. I’m thinking about getting the Flex since it’s on sale. How would you compare it to the gen 3 and gen 4 Milwaukee hammer drills?

I borrowed that battery

not too shabby

@@ManCaverTools The combo kits are more competitively priced. The Flex is $349, and the Dewalt is $379. Those include the impact driver.

correct, each brand has the setting for the anti kick, some are set to soon

@@ManCaverTools I agree, but you can disable the anti kickback on the gen 4 Milwaukee and the Bosch 1330. Tools and Tactics said that the Flex isn’t quite as sensitive if you use the 2.5 amp battery.

I’ve been using the brushed 885 for years. I will take it to my grave 🤣😂. I love that little impact

@@powertools2375 mine is finally going out after lots of good years.

K, I think you need to look at the overall picture when deciding to go to a different platform. I’m fully committed the Milwaukee M12/M18 lines. Having said that I have a Dewalt Flexvolt Table Saw, older XR Max Drill and Impact and the XR Multi-tool. They’re all good tools, but I only got them because Milwaukee hadn’t come out with their table saw yet, only had a brushed multi-tool and my first lithium ion purchase was the Dewalt XR Drill and Impact combo). I like the fact that Milwaukee is committed to their product lines, they’re constantly expanding them, have a quality product, good warranty service and great customer service. This goes for not only their flagship M18 tool line, but also their M12 line. I can’t say the same about Dewalt, Bosch or for that matter any other tool manufacturer. They have M12 tools that best the competitions 18 volt. I’ve recently added the M12 23 Gauge Pin Nailer. With it’s nitrogen charged spring mechanism, it’s nothing less than spectacular! It rivals my air compressor and Ridgid 23 gauge nailer. It has features (adjustable drive depth, led light) that no other pin nailer have and it can sink nails in hard or soft wood, leaving a very nice small hole. I also purchased the M18 Gen 2 18 Gauge Brad Nailer. Another best in class nailer, which is simply amazing to use. Those are just some of the reasons why I stay with Milwaukee. Where are Flex’s nailers? Most of the testing with Flex against the competition has been done with drills and impacts. The Milwaukee M18 Gen 3 Fuel 1/2” Hammer Drill is more than capable and has been the benchmark that the competition bangs their drills against. The competitors new drills all look to be at least 50% larger and bulkier than the Milwaukee Gen 3 hammer drill. The drill is almost 4 years old, so I fully expect a Gen 4 to come out within a year or so. The other benchmark has been the Gen 3 Fuel 1/4” Impact Driver, which is very powerful. Most of us have a lot of drills and impacts, e.g. M12/M18 Surge, M12 Fuel 1/2” Hammer Drill, M12 Fuel 1/4” Impact Driver (love this tool with a 6 amp battery), etc. The last thing most of us need is another drill or impact. Why would I ever consider switching to Flex? Are they going to give me a trade in allowance on my Milwaukee tools? I also don’t like lugging around a Sawzall, as most tasks can be done with a smaller tool, e.g. M12 Fuel Hackzall or M18 Fuel Hackzall. Does flex have smaller one handed recip saws that get the job done with ease?

I'm assuming the turbo mode temporarily pushes the power beyond the battery cells' continuous amp rating until it overheats, and then disables the feature until the temperature gets back down to normal

Agreed.

Flex is a good too brand to get into. they have a nice assortment of tools and they will only develop more

@@ManCaverTools How do you think the Flex hammer drill compares to the Milwaukee?

That's because he knows that 6 amp hour flexvolt can actually do it but it's real power is actually the 9 amp hour, I know because I did the same test myself on the same drill bit which is why I'm going to buy me DeWalt Flex advantage drill cos we don't have Flex in our country, I'D say that the 9 amp is Dewalts turbo way for power

Because the 6amp flexvolt uses the 18650 cell batteries compared to the xr using 21700 to match with the Flex’s battery. I’d would say to use the 9 amp flexvolt since that one does have the bigger cells

Flex tools are worth buying into. When it comes to buying into a line of tools the most important information on a brand is do they have the tools you need available to buy

@@ManCaverTools I love the ergonomics of Dewalt, but the hammer drills I would buy by Dewalt are expensive. Also Dewalt’s warranty is a little shady. Thibs had to pay over $100 to get one of his Dewalt tools repaired because the Dewalt warranty only covers one year of service. I’m open to having more than one battery platform because I believe that’s about the only way to build the best set for the buck.

A 8ah with 21700 cells is more than enough for a drill dont need a massive 12ah battery thats just for capacity and runtime of the tool not performance or power

@@micjubba709 Yes. But did I say just drills?

@@toolskii as its a video about drills going head to head i thought thats what you where talking about

@@toolskii even most the other tools 12ah will just improve runtime not power or performance

@@micjubba709 Oh Yeah. I should of been more specific. I do apologize.

F the incompetent user. Breakdown is a different story. Personally, we tried cordless Milwaukee ten years ago and every one broke. Meanwhile every DeWalt since the 90s is still going. Although the older ones are weak. Useless on a site. The future may be Flex. But they have some drop trials to prove it.

How would I check what year it is

@@justinrozon7 Well for me I got mine in 2020. Lol. But they put put manufacturers date on the battery base.

Dewalt have been ripping of ignorant consumers with dishonest marketing ever since they released their 20v tools

That's what I thought as well. Didn't get that at all. That's also the battery the drill comes with when you buy the kit.

Hes done videos where he proves this battery is stronger than the flexvolt 6 amp hour.

That was the Power Detect from Lowe’s I thought. I’m just saying to me it would have made more sense to use the Flexvolt battery with the Flexvolt Advantage instead of the battery that comes with the Power Detect.

@@skolsaw1080 to you it would make sense because you don’t have all the facts. The flex volt batteries don’t give this drill any advantage, it’s just shady marketing from dewalt.

@@SweetStat lol 😂 ok well.....thanks for setting me straight.

you dont get an advantage with those batteries. I already proved it in many videos

Clearly you aren't a subscriber lol. He's tested that, and no, it doesn't.

@@GuyFromJupiter thank you Spencer

Many tests out of this channel show the difference. Don’t need to be a subscriber to comment. Many people only search what he want to watch.

@@jhonimastersipayung5874 he was just saying the I have a few videos already proving that fact on batteries

lol

I have not had any issues with these batteries. at the same time. I dont use the Flex batteries as much as other brands. I mainly use my Flex batteries to power a their radio

I thank you for your feedback Brian

I have not, I haven't tested every single tool ever made

@@ManCaverTools I was just asking because it seems to be a very good drill, and it’s $199 on the Lowe’s website, plus you can get a free 8 amp battery and a charger.

I think I did that video already

Yeah. Means this Dewalt can finish more heavy job compare to the Flex. Maybe he also need to test the maximum diameter and length of the bit at the concrete test and see if we get the similar result.

they both are very powerful tools

@@ManCaverTools it’s possible the flex is slightly more powerful, it’s mind blowing lol,

the XR 21700 cells performs better in the Flexvolt than the Flexvot battery does. check the the Flexvolt vs Dewalt power detect video

@@ManCaverTools I figured the FV used 21700 also 🤔. But I've been wanting to go with the 999 hearing it can use the 60v supply as a "turbo" in situations of needed extra umph.

@@FordRanchero289 it did in my case when I tested my Milwaukee gen 3 against my brother-in-laws new 999 and his old 996 about a month ago ,found out the 9 amp flexvolt battery did match my generation 3 high output 6 and 8 Milwaukee batteries but the difference was that if the RPM on the 999 was the same as my Milwaukee then the 999 I feel would be a little bit stronger than my gen 3,I pushed them both to breaking point to find that out, in other words I thrashed them both along with 996 as well,using 32mm flute augers on 6 test runs on hardened Douglas firs, pity we don't have Flex in this country

Agree, would like to see this done with the 6 or 9Ah FlexVolt batteries. Until then, I’d say DeWalt performed well even with a double handicap (XR 6.0 vs Flex 8.0)

The 21700 cell batteries that he used are stronger than the 6 amp flex volt battery. Theres a video on his channel proving it.

With FA drill, even if it were 18650s, there should be a noticeable difference. I’m not saying that 21700 cells in a 6ah 20v battery aren’t better than using 18650s in a normal 20v max tool, however with the FA drill, per manufacturer claims and what other reviewers have relayed is there is a power difference. Enough to beat this flex tool? Maybe not. Just saying that it would be nice to see the flexvolt advantage tool run with a flexvolt battery instead of the 20v battery.

I already proved that the FA battery isnt good for a FA tool. The XR 21700 cells in it will be better in the Dewalt FA tool

I only had the opportunity to try flex tools once. I didn’t like them at all! They didn’t feel right and they didn’t sound right. Might have been the ergonomics that were throwing me off. They preformed good tho, can’t argue with that!

@@SweetStat yes the feel in hand is horrible.

Tripping balls

Really,what was that just something to say,Ergonomics.I will use any drill or tool too get the job done,and get paid

@@gregorymandile2321 yes, it was just something to say. Just like everyone including you in the comments are doing. Yes of course if your where you can't afford to get the tools that feel good in your hands then use whatever makes you happy. I prefer to use tools that offer comfortability and power since I use them everyday all day

the felxvolt advantage would lose with that battery

@@ManCaverTools it does better with the 6ah XR?

@@bennettshfd2 yes it does with a XR battery that has 21700 cells inside

@@ManCaverTools I had no idea. Why would they use only 18650 instead of 21700? That's crazy!

@@ManCaverTools I believe the new 6.0 flexvolt batteries also use 21700s.

because the XR batteries with 21700 cells destroys the flexvolt battery in the flexvolt advantage tool

use any tool that gets the job done,y do people favor a certain brand name.Is Dewalt going too pay your electric bill if u asked them,I think not.Be happy with any tool that gets it done.Not too many people get paid for driving a 20 inch lag bolt into a piece of wood in 10 seconds

Fair response, Dewalt didn't ask me make a positive post, just really like Dewalt tools, and am lucky enough to own some, 👍

@@sonycarp8271 Dewalt was always my favorite tool as well,I own a bunch of them.Now I own a bunch of Flex tools,and Ridgid tools and Makita.I just love well made tools

I already have that video uploaded

@@ManCaverTools but you should do a retest because that test was flawed. Otherwise both the power detect and flex are beasts

Power detect is the best hammer drill out there. It blew Milwaukee out of the water.

some anti kick back feature activate later then others. not all ATC will respond the same

@@ManCaverTools I still don’t believe that Dewalt claims to have anti kickback on their drills, but I could be wrong. Ridgid seems to have a really sensitive anti kickback, and the auto stop on the gen 4 Milwaukee is really sensitive too.

@@DiligentDave1966 sorry I didn't answer your question. this specific model does not have ATC. but for the tools that do sometimes they activate too soon.

this Is an old video but yes. its a new brand and the flex tools are powerful

lol

wrong, this channel is not biased. why would I be biased. I am not the other channels that will doctor results to please their sponsors. try again

what a lot of people need to realize is that the bigger channels no longer test tools out because they wont have to go against their sponsors. Biased reviews are sort of gone. because the people that were biased no longer test tools out.

Daa that it went into a whole, both of those drill went into a "pre drilled hole" .Maybe next time listen.

heck yea it would

it is a beast

Power Detect to rule them all!!

I out the volume on the mic to high in the video

But its still an option to have

yes it is
