Very useful. Guess I have to spend more to get a safe battery that performs.

Agree. These are best for a car tire. Buddy of mine had issues with two of those Kobalt inflaters. Both worked great when new! But after a few years and several uses, each one konked out on him. He refused to buy a 3rd one. I keep that Ryobi in my car. Along with one of the company's larger capacity batteries, and a charger. All 3 fit well inside a mechanic's tool-bag. The inflater? Loud! Takes a while to inflate a flat. Hold down the button the entire time. Shakes a bit in hand. Grip is only comfortable if you wear XL-sized gloves. But, budget inflater that just works. Saved me from getting stranded handful of occasions in the last 4 or 5 years. Last time, my aluminum rim was damaged. Bent inward, and a sharp point had penetrated the tire. Couldn't see it from the outside. With the rim jammed up against the tire, I had an extremely slow leak. Used my Ryobi. Two days later had to use it again. Used it a total of three times like that until I got it to a garage. That Ryobi more than paid for itself already. Though at the time I knew nothing about Ridgid. Having a non-battery option of inflating a low tire is a huge plus! If I didn't already own the Ryobi, I'd buy the Ridgid in a heart-beat.

Sooooo....what the dongle can do vs what software you used are not necessarily the same. You looked at systems analysis and error codes....Carista was one of the only few where you can program features of your car. OBDLink MX+ has a lot of technical ability AND is supported by MANY apps. Just wanted to let you know that the software you used, in some cases, may or may not expose all of the capabilities of the dongle. Closed solutions like Bluedriver can do more because they both work together.....OBDLink MX can look really good or bad depending on the app you use but it has a lot of technical feaures in the hardware.

I’ve bought 3 lock and Lubes, and rebuilt them a couple times. They always seemed to leak and were hard to use in tight applications. Since then I put the lock and lube on the shelf and have been using a lumax. It’s lever design was easier for me to use, similar vise grip leverage, I’ve never had it leak and the lever makes it easier to disengage off of high pressure zerks. I plan on trying the lock and lube again and see if I just got some duds. But for now Lumax gets my money.

Fantastic job! Even non-techies can follow this. Great visual data charts to go along with the video! Keep up the good work. Maybe next you can do some charts on variation charge times (eg. new vs. seasoned batteries, drained vs. partially drained, etc)?

AS Mentioned PART 2 will have Milwaukee Dewalt Bosch Hilti Metabo XGT CAT

I am a FLEX guy, but what happened to the true competition with the likes of Mikita XGT,Milwaukee, and DeWalt.

We need the best power wash gun for electric and or gas

I would like to see you testing the Bosch GSB 18v 1330c which they claim as strongest drill and hilti SF 10 nuron which they claim now as the strongest in the world.

Can you measure sound levels, as well as provide a subjective sound rating? This is actually a big thing for me. I swear my Milwaukee M12 drill is obnoxiously loud and drives me crazy. However, some of the Dewalts I've used have been relatively quiet. Would love to see where everyone falls and who warrants attention.

I am looking forward to part 2!

1:04 looks like drill is limiting performance with a current limit. Order should be 4Ah > 5Ah > 6Ah. I'd love to see you do this test with an adapter and another brand's 10/12Ah.

3:30 1750 watts out! That'll be doing around 2,500W in. Looking forward to the M18 as I've measured the watts in for that.

The metabo 36v is the old model, there's a new model (DV36DC) that has several improvements, of course more power but also a much better handle and much quicker reacting anti kickback. They ditched the screw in handle, don't know the reason why but it must of caused problems. Metabo hpt also has lifetime warranties on their tools, but only tools and not batteries.

I have Flex and Milwaukee that I use for my business and Hercules and Milwaukee in my garage. The problem with the Hercules as a hammer drill is the portion of the drill body that the handle clamps on is just grey plastic, not metal like it should be, so after repeated stress to keep the drill from twisting you are going to see that plastic strip and fail.

Hercules is the second most powerful drill behind Flex but I'd still choose Hercules because of the impact wrench lineup.

Where’s Milwaukee?? Lol

I’d like to know which one came in second and in third position. Especially the Tekton.

Would it like to see the octane 3 amp hour pack on the Ridgid has the 21700 cells and until the 8 came out a year or so ago was the only one. It's the battery I like to use cuz it's the smallest but it still has the good cells

You should try abusing these with an impact to test them. I am looking for issues of them wollowing out moreso than shearing off.

I have the Flex and love it!

The Hercules is $97 for the kit

Flex will take it all but I I’ll live with my Milwaukees 😂

I take it that the Milwaukee 2904-20 is going to be in part 2? I didn’t see it on the list at the end.

Thank you for the recommendation, the DBR Tech works like a charm!

Can’t wait for round two! I actually thought that Ridgid did really good considering its size and price. Seems like a bit of a sleeper!

I thought Makita didn’t use 21700 because they couldn’t make them fit in their 18v tools that took two packs side by side? If that isn’t the case, then my God they’re far worse than I thought! Assuming size is the limiting factor, I’d like to introduce Makita to a style of battery that’s been around for a very long time, can fit in nearly any enclosure, and almost always has the best performance. Pouch cells!

Great video. The chart showing power options skipped the 12DC available for the DeWalt. How do you invoke the deflate mode?

Best ones not even on the list! Wtf?! No Bauer?

The worst part is that Makita is probably the most expensive drill! I'm pretty sure it's almost $400 just to get the kit! Most of the others are around $300 or less! Unless Makita makes big changes I don't see any point in buying them.

Flex has been my main line for a couple of years now, but I'm always looking for other options. Northern Tool just dropped a new line of cordless tools under their house brand name Klutch.

Been running my turbo flex for a cpl years now been waiting for the rest of the world to catch up 😊😊 Great vid!!

Hard for the DIY'rs to turn away from the attractiveness of the whole package from HERCULES (price/performance/warranty).

Some good performers there, will certainly be interesting to see how the Flex performs against the bigger brand names in Pt 2. Wonder if there is anyone actually using a drill with the bigger 8Ah plus battery on it, they always seem so cumbersome to me.

a video testing the makita with a custom lxt battery similar to ttc's one vs oem would be interesting

got the flex turbo drill kit last year for usd99 and added another purchase SL 6.0 +charger (free full size SDS drill) for like 199

Great video, can't wait for part 2!

Good review, especially at the end. Curious, what is adequate to do certain jobs? For example, I’m willing to bet that all of these drills are adequate to drill a pine 2x4. But theres a lot of other jobs out there. How many watts does it take to make drilling X material a good experience? I also use my drill as a cutoff tool and a grinder in certain situations. There’s a lot of accessories i can put into a drill.

9:45.. buy the kit for $329.. not just the drill for $280...🤔

Where is Milwaukee

You really have some nice dynos here, very cool 😎 I was wondering whether you could do some longer term runs, these are peak numbers that might inflate the apparent performance compared to real life usage? Maybe not on all the drills but just on some to show the difference. Can't wait for part 2, thanks! 😊

Interested in seeing how my own DCD998 PowerDetect hammer drill stacks up but I see you have its twin, DCD999 FlexVoltAdvantage hammer drill lined up in its place. Still rooting for it. :)

I Like this no nonsense review Chervon is putting out the best tools for the price IMO

That Flex is a beast 😮

Been excited for this one!

The best cheap thorough Bluetooth scan dongle ive found is the Autel AP200. The fact that it allows you to program keys is worth the $50 price by itself. Plus, the first model registered has free lifetime coverage. Every model afterwards is $20 a year

Thanks so much!! 💪

Well, the tool should just come with the battery and the charger if you don't want people to buy the knockoff battery and charger.

great upload man! was wondering if the dremel flexi shaft fits the milwaukee 2525?

Like the SBR reference. But you don't have to send the ATF 200 bucks! JimE
