Metabo HPT is the most underrated tool brand out there

Bonus weekly video yeah!

I have that 3/4 drive Metabo . It is a beast but you have to be careful . My helper ruined a steel 10" flange ring and butterfly valve with it . I dont think most people realize what 900 ft-lb really is .

"But I do speak torque" 😄 Me too! Another great video. Thank you!

Metabo is surely stepping up their game. Thank you for your time and review Friend!

Hitachi Koki (Hikoki), Metabo HPT (Hitachi Power Tools). Not confusing at all. Haha. But I did read that they could no longer use the name Hitachi for licensing reasons when they were purchased along with Metabo. So that's the reason for the alphabet soup. I think they could have just used Hikoki globally but they wanted to exploit the brand recognition of Metabo.

It would be interesting to take some of these impacts that have a high wrist break score and fixture them in place to see just how much power is lost through the plastic to meat interface.

It's probably best to go with the 3/4" and get the 1/2" adapter.

Been waiting for you to do the Metabo 3/4 inch stuff. I have a 1st gen I use at work that I love!

Hitachi always made great tools back in the day and usually at a reasonable price point... They introduced the sliding miter saw in the US back in the 90's... Metabo was a premier German tool company specializing in drills back in the day also...90's Great video 👍

I've had the gen1 3/4 and it has broken loose everything i have thrown at it in then last year!

Thank you guys for all your hard work. I really enjoy your videos.

Certainly impressive numbers. Cant wait to see the MILWAUKEE 2967-20 VS DEWALT DCF961 battle! Thank you for keeping us updated on all the cool new stuff!

Your channel is very addicting, I really enjoy your content. Thanks!

These companies need to be held accountable for their fake claims.

I hate the fact that more honest tool companies are being forced to fudge numbers just to look on par with other offerings...

Milwaukee is falling behind pretty badly the last couple of years - even when they come out with their next-gen, it's behind out of the gate. Seems like they've turned their backs on automotive related tools and have been putting more time/energy into other sectors, like lawn care. I'll have to start contemplating switching platforms.

After seeing shop tool reviews I’m so patiently waiting for you to get your hands on the 2967

I really appreciate your channel doing this work for us. Consumer reports back in the day was the only way to see if products were worth it and frankly, the cost of that subscription wasn't really worth it. Thank you for doing your part to keep the public informed!

2 video weeks are awesome

I have got the german metabo high torque the ssw 1750 that thing is the most powerful thing i have used yet. Would appreciate it to see you testing it and it will not disappoint

thanks man for these tests so much

I wish they were called hikoki here as well.

Yeah, lags do get chewed up if you reef on them too much and also another concern is self tapping concrete screws. Those things run a fine line between just right and stripped out.

Maybe a fair bit of marketing going on, but both churn out decent lb/ft or Nm torque. 'Giving it the beans' trade mark TTTC !

If they’d given an accurate torque claim they would have beaten Makita on your list. I guess Makita could do that too!

This just proves how much the Makita XGT is of a beast!! That impact hit 1,000 Ft/Lbs 2 YEARS AGO!! I want one… 😂

There are very few applications where forward torque is important. Most fasteners that would require a lot of forward torque would require an accurate torque specification.

Just a little of my experience. The snapon 9080 will hit harder in the real world and remove stubborn fasteners. But, I've broken the insides of the 9080 twice within a month, can't hold itself together. I bought a dcf 900 as a backup, and on the board, it's powerful but not as much in the real world, comparable to milwaukee. And yes I've owned milwaukee. I haven't found the ultimate cordless tools yet. I've had more luck with air tools over the years. Heavy equipment tech. I have actually liked the snapon 14.4 line, though.

Very interesting test! Thanks!

"I do speak torque..." Well played sir!

It will be interesting when the new DEWALT XR DCF 961 comes out see what it does Especially when they make it in 3/4 and I want Milwaukee M18 Fuel 2967 made into 3/4 too

When do you think new Milwaukee vs Dewalt Dcf961 is going to happen? I think many people are really looking forward to that. Also, i know it has been suggested before, but if tested for decibel level on the impacts, more so air impacts, that would be great for comparisons. Thinking about the Astro 1894 G2, but seems loud in specs. The Aircat 1125 impact looks like a great newer tool, supposed to be 3.8ish pounds, would love to see you test one. Maybe the aircat airhammers, and high torque long handle air ratchets too.

Not to mention the no fuss Lifetime Warranty! I'll be hunting down some deals on these soon.

Always good stuff... thanks

Sounds like a steal. Can you do a heat stress test, like run 4-5 batteries with high capacity through it and see if it catches fire or shuts down safely?

Hyper tough just came out with a 12v 3/8 impact wrench. I’d love to see it tested and also their 3/8 Rachet. I’ve seen good performance from the Rachet from other testers and the brushless 1/4 impact is also not terrible. Could be a good solution for weekend warriors or light duty workers like me.

I don't remember ever having any German/Japanese tool brands that disappoints... Too bad they are not in more stores.

Pulled the engine & gearbox out as one unit on the worlds filthiest LR Discovery yesterday, in the pouring rain, outdoors, in a big hurry. Had my Dewalt 1/2" along for the ride. Without it, no way was that task getting done. A real good impact is not a luxury, it's essential. These Metabo's look like contenders.

Makita released their new high output batteries, would be interesting to test.

Very informative!

Just watched a couple videos on the new skill 20 v mid ... super impressive for price point especially

I wonder if there is a way you guys could start doing long term tests to try and get a better idea of how these tools hold up with time.

I can't wait until ITT releases a Hart 40v impact that can use the battery from my 40v string trimmer.

Have you tested it with the ac adapter they make to see if it's any better than on battery power?

Awe no gen 3 Milwaukee half inch! I was hoping you had it in this video!!

Finally a release!

those 10s li-ion systems are really bringing a lot of sauce.

I would love to see you test Mag Drills! both corded , evolution, fein, milwaukee and cordless Fein, milwaukee dewalt

Would love to see a test on whether using a gloved hand to apply tension to the socket makes any difference. I do it all the time thinking it makes a difference, it certainly makes the impact easier to hold when doing stuff up to "FT" levels of torque. I know about the safety aspect of sockets exploding, 95% of the bolts I do are M24 and go though about 4 sockets a year, they all split over time. If anyone can recommend a make that will last the power of a makita 3/4 xgt, not snap on, never seen a van and not going to track one down for one socket

I really want to see another IR 1" video. Perhaps an extented torque test? Like 20 or more seconds to see if it actually can reach the advertised torque nunbers? Maybe torque a large bolt to the 3000ft/lbs and see if it can remove it?

Can you swap the anvils over and see if it makes a difference? would be super interesting!

Just in from dewalt. That giant high torque that gets that turbo kick after 4 seconds is confirmed. It was real all along.

I really want to see a test of the Central Pneumatic 62355, 62396 1 inch impact. I have one and I'm pretty impressed with it. I bought it to see if it would remove the monster piston retaining nuts on some hydraulic cylinders I'm working on. I had tried previously with a 4 ft cheater bar on a 3/4 inch drive breaker bar and I couldn't get the thing to stay put. It started to rip the vice bolts through my work bench so I stopped. I broke one of those breaker bars previously in the 1200 ft-lb area so I know I wasn't quite putting that through the nut (breaker bar didn't break, the vice did), but it can't be too far off of a thousand that I was applying to it. This impact got it off there instantaneously, and that's through 1/4" fittings on 3/8" hose.

If you read the manual/marketing, the 36v tools are built with a 1400w motor, the 2.5/5ah batteries will only run the tool at 1100watts, the larger 4/8ah batteries allow you to run the tool at the full 1400watt. My understanding is that they throttle the tool to save the smaller batteries because the 18650 cells cant sustain the discharge rate. Ill back this up from my own personal experience, been running the same batteries for the last 5 years in a fairly severe environment and haven't had a 5ah battery go bad yet.

I kinda like the rubber nose cone protection

Can you do more teardowns of the impacts you test?

Nice video💥 Dewalt is the new king of this era

Great Work TTC!!! Bringing us what others won’t. Shake it up!! How do I go about sending you my Flex 5” Angle Grinder for ranking? It would be an HONOR!

I just bought the red boy high torque, first non air high torque I've owned, and I'm shocked at the desire to jump off bolts this thing has.. works great though. broke my 24mm impact socket I've been beating with my earthquake 1/2" air for 20 years.

I’m surprised you guys didn’t get the new Milwaukee impact just released 🧐. Hope Milwaukee send you one to start testing it 🤙

metabo hpt has the ace up its sleve though of the ac adapter so if you are doing alot of lags on a jobsite that you have an outlet you can go basicallly non stop

Have you heard about AMPShare Powered by Bosch batteries. A battery standard that fits multiple brands. It might be interesting to hear about that in a future video.

Dont forget metabo is part of the CAS (its a program for cross compatible batteries with over 30 brands participating)

I would really like to see how the compact impacts from Seesii would do on the dyno. Also maybe the drills from Ikea just to see if theyre better than a Black&Decker 😂

Who did your intro graphic sequence? I dig it.

Oh, neat. Didn't realize Metabo offers wine vouchers with their tools

Padu sobat🎉🎉

You should get an adapter made for XGT 40v batteries to see how much torque the extra voltage adds.

This channel rules

Ive never seen somthing battery powered that can bust such a big nut!

Tell us more about the $100 wine voucher!!!

Every morning I check for the new milwaukee high torque

I want to se the insides of the Ingersoll Rrand 1" and Rambo Millwaukee 1"

It's possible that they pulled some power on the half inch tool so they wouldn't be dealing with a lot of warranty claims. 900 ft-lbs is a lot to put through a half inch drive.

3:45 WTF, did the they put a rafter hook big enough to hold a 2x4 on this tool?!? What is their intended market for this, auto mechanics or framers driving in lag screws?

says lifetime warranty i wonder how hard it would be to warranty the tool

you should test tools with different batteries of the same type because of different grade of hardware in the battery

Thanks for looking into my comment

TBH you can get the 8 AH battery for 78 bucks. that was 22 dollars cheaper than the 5 ah with 18650 cells.

What ever happened to that Dewalt impact wrench that you got right after the dcf900 came out?

Nice video, Im team green!

You should do a how to video on how to make that makita battery you built recently

I'd like to see you test the Seesii 3/4" I saw on amazon....see what i did there.

Can you test manual impact drivers? thx

Make a video of power loss from extensions on electric impacts and ratchets

Hi, I don't know if this is possible for you but if you can get your hands on some Lidl Parkside tools, especially the impact wrenches, I would be super interested to see on how they compare to the more Popular brands. They are a budget tool brand here in Europe and they have some great deals in my opinion.

Can you test the new makita 40v high output batteries

So no reason to upgrade my Gen 1, the ½" drive definitely likes to back out of sockets when driving large concrete screws and lag bolts. Bought it in a kit with two 2.5Ah batteries, charger and 5" (125mm) 36v angle grinder for 599€ here in Finland 3 about 3years ago. Also came with two Hikoki cases (same design/manufacturer as Makita Makpacs, but with Hikoki branding/colours).

Can you get your hands on the German Metabo High Torque in 1/2" and 3/4" ? I`m really interested how they compare.

Test some rigid stuff is there a big difference across the tti line up

Could you do some low torque rankings? Looking for some cheaper options and am wondering if anything stands out.

Hercules Ultra Torque is now 189.99 and I finally got it for 152 after coupon with a recent coupon. Just a heads up since I noticed the spreadsheet. Also, was it ever tested with the 12AH battery?

You should do a video on seesii's cordless wrench

just about to buy some metabo/hikoki tools new 36v lineup

Have you tested an of the Earthquake impacts? I've seen them at Harbor Freight.

Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊

Hyper tough has an impact wrench is it any good ?

In Europe Hikoki advertises the 3/4" with 1900/2400 nm, 1/2" with 1400/2000 nm so exactly the same as Metabo HPT. Kinda weird, Hikoki isnt known for a lot of marketing wank really.
