Òòòòooòooo

Twisted it off ;)

Took 22 more V but yea

Did you end up getting it? How have you found it? Wondering if it's the way to go for putting a lot of long bugle heads in all day or if it's overkill 🤔

So did you buy it? Some of us want to know.

The voltage is.

Yet Makita is getting scarce in the stores. They don’t sell a whole lot of Makita stuff like they used to. Now they push Milwaukee way more.

Price is killing them sadly

Makita sux

Each brand has there moments. Someone is always trying to be the best at a certain tool.

I fully understand why Makita DOES NOT increase the power of a impact driver with the 40V over the 18V--because once you exceed 2,000 in/lb of torque you start breaking bits, 1/2" adapters and so on. The Milwaukee does go over 2,000 in/lb and breaks adapters all the time which is not a good thing! Realistically, if you need more power than the 18V for an impact, use an impact WRENCH to prevent breaking bits, parts raining down on people below or pieces of sharp tool steel ripping holes in your hands or face. I used a huge Hilti industrial hammer drill to cut a 1/4" hole through drywall to hang a picture--it worked but power is nothing without control. Makita has a 36V 33.5Ah backpack bettery that powers 36V X2 and 40V Max outdoor power equipment so it would be fun to see what it does on impact wrenches or cut off saws! Come on Philly....see if you can kill the 1,200 watt hour backpack battery before you get carpal tunnel....for science! ;)

And if 40 V is not powerful enough , Makita has 80 V tools too , 2 x 40 V battery :-)

One really important thing that people might be missing is that comparing a 2.5ah 18v battery to a 2.5ah 40v battery is apples to oranges. The amp-hour ratings are kind of meaningless to compare like that. One battery pack is just wired with more cells in series, but it's still a huge pack that is comparable to 6.0ah 18v battery packs.

@@operator8014 Would have been nice to see this tested with a high output battery, but I think that was the guys point. If the 1" is barely beating the 3/4" Makita with an XC high-output battery, there is no chance the 3/4 is going to sniff at the Makita 3/4 with the HO battery regardless.

@@operator8014 It would make more sense to compare them in the same class and watt hours. Tools prices will always vary from quality, name recognition to being brand new.

These tools will always be directly comparable in some respects and incomparable in others. We can see the raw performance, after that there are several categories to classify them in. One would be kit for kit, stock batteries, right out of the box. Another would be the tool with the best battery available from the manufacturer. There are several other metrics that COULD be used to create comparos, and finally perhaps a fully subjective score or “seat of the pants” feel for the tool..Things like balance and trigger control that can’t be measured at full tilt on a test bench.

your also assuming people only use that exact battery with that exact tool. my milwaukee 3/4 is noticeably stronger with a 8.0 on it. most of us have a bunch of tools and batteries

Milwaukee has been using the same 3/4 for awhile and makita is brand new so it's not much of a comparison. Milwaukee will drop something soon and take back their #1 spot

@@ericg4915 exactly, waiting on Milwaukee’s new Gen model before running and buying the makita

@@esellanta This Makita just bested Milwaukee’s 1 inch model lol. It ain’t gonna happen. Buy the Makita. While you can. Also it’s best to start your Makita 40 volt battery collection now. It’s just a platform that is more powerful. Smaller tools don’t benefit as much from it but big impacts or drills etc. will.

If the massive 1" Ingersoll taught us anything it is that 18v doesnt cut it. Remember the 1" waukee need an 8ah battery to perform well, the required current is challenging to transfer to the motor, even the 12ah M18 battery is a limiting factor. Such high currents causes voltage drops, less voltage to the motor means you need to compensate by upping the current, causing even less voltage to the motor, and then they hit a wall. If waukee can counter this XGT it is not at a similar size, and if it is same size then overheat issues will be looming. Still, even with 2x18v batteries its a win if they can do it, but i agree with Jay Quick, this is a great reason to enter into Makita xgt ecosystem. I already got all 3 xgt impact wrenches and 6 other xgt tools, no regrets but i do miss the lightweight 2ah LXT batteries, no small batteries announced for xgt yet.

Makita was the original though. We had them going back to the 12v and 14.4 with the red NiCad batteries. I got my first 18v Makita in something like 2007 or so (looks tired but still works). So no one is catching Milwaukee really. Makita returning to the front.

Hey brother don feel bad, I’d prefer Milwaukee all the way up

Milwaukee reliability and durability it’s the best

Only took 3.5 years to beat it by a hair

Absolutely. Like the great deals we could get on 36v tools would be great.

I don’t see any Black Friday deals for the Makitas???? Anyone

@@user-vm6mw6du8m they don’t have any impact wrench deals

@@user-vm6mw6du8m Only the Makita bluetooth speaker and the home owner socket set. Some minor discounts on old 18v LXT tools. Black Friday is more about ok deals on mainstream products, how some expected XGT to go on sale is beyond me, thats not how they do it except for a very limited stock, like "10% OFF to the 5 first customers to buy 5 XGT tools".

Thanks! Yeah we wanted shirts you could work in that won't stretch or rip

@@TorqueTestChannel 100% and much appreciated

@@TorqueTestChannel would you be interested in trying the XTR 24v kobalt 1/2 in impact wrench? I just ordered one and would be able to send it to you to test out new with a couple different batteries. Claims 1200 ftlbs

They have their moments. Like back in the day when they released their tiny (for the time) impact driver with light weight batteries....when I was still using a giant/ heavy Milwaukee 1/2" drill w/ nicad batteries. A game changer for sure. Everybody else was chasing them for years.

That’s also when Milwaukee fans realized they liked white more then teal.

That makita green has definitely got torqued up.

Dudes they like dudes that was my joke.

Run a torque multiplier and never look back.

The 4.0 amp hour at 40 (36) volts is more like 8.0 at 18. So should be tested at 9.0ah

Same 😫

True if they make a 1/2 inch version I’m going to have major problems

I was definitely struggling until I gave in. Now I’m trying to find things to fix 😆

@@jamarallen08 fix my 2az fe toyota motor please.

This true, it’s not really meant for the mechanics world, more steel fab and other construction applications

You are correct. The M18 1” D-Handle, on the other hand, has more reverse torque in mind for giant lug nuts, heavy machinery repair, etc

I used the Milwaukee 1" in this video, and their "chain saw" impact today at my job building Starship. As per usual for the gulf coast, we had to break a bunch of rust to get the fuck off huge rocket hold down bolts free, and then run the guns a bit in forward to get some torque on the bolts before hitting them with a torque wrench proper. Breaking the bolts free is *absolutely* the priority, because if the impact gun doesn't do it, then we'll have to do something REALLY ill advised like find a breaker bar and hook it up to a come-along or a truck or boom lift. Observations: XC5.0 batteries are hot garbage. Any sockets that aren't 1" native are just requiring you to sling around more weight for not much more delivered torque. Passing the smaller 1" impact up and down ladders was easier than the "chain saw" impacts.

@@Hansengineering Dude. You're a *rocket mechanic*. That's pretty sweet.

The real MVP is always in the comments

Thats extra spankings for you!

See our Flex episode. They won't dyno. They shut off at max torque, we think to avoid cavitation damage or something

It’s enough that it wouldn’t be worth it seeing as the 1/2” is 1400 ftlbs
