No i'm comparing two impacts nearly identical in size to show the difference in ability. Yes the 845 at the time was dewalt flagship impact, and the flex compact is garbage. BUT THEY'RE EXTREMELY SIMILAR in size. Yeah I have the Flex 1371 it's MASSIVE and destroys the 845 in every way possible. Now that dewalt has released the 860 i'm currently testing it to compare to the 1371 and the milwaukee 2935 which are all in the same conversation power, size, speed and cost wise. I'm not a 'back yard' tester, i'm a tradesman and give my reviews based on using these tools on real life jobs and situations, IN ADDITION to trying to compare them on bench tests in the back yard or garage to show all tools off as closely as possible. Thanks for the comment, but you're trying to point out something that makes no sense to what the video was intended to do/show.

Well, maybe you're not getting a direct answer because there is no direct answer. There isn't a drill made specifically for '2" long 1/4" nuts? I'm assuming you mean lag bolts or something, nuts go on bolts and aren't 2" long. Thru metal and wood' you need to be more specific. Thru how much wood? Thru how thick metal? What kind of metal? That more has to deal with the proper drill bits over what drill will do it. Are you already on a battery platform? Do you own any brand already? How many of these holes do you need to drill? A one time thing? A dozen a day? Hundred a day for weeks on end? Is it indoor work? Outdoor work? Will you ever be drilling into concrete? I could list you endless drill that will complete that task(as best as I can tell from what your asking) some will do it a few times before running out of battery or heating up, some will run endlessly drilling hole after hole not being slowed at all, some will drill the hole in several seconds to minutes, some will do it instantly. Some will cost around $100 some will cost $500+ some won't last a year being used regularly some will last a lifetime....with a lifetime warranty to back it up. People need to know specifics to make a better suggestion. Take the time to give more details and you'll have a much better chance of getting a drill you'll be very happy with and complete the task needed for as long as you need it to work, as quickly as you'd like it done.

If it's not that easy, how am I doing it without issue? You can't force it thru the thick stuff, be patient, let the tool do the work. I do agree with things getting stuck, if you remove the tray meant to stop that, it'll happen when cutting too close to the ground, or trying to cut things that aren't meant to be cut, like twigs. I get mulch stuck in the blades trimming flower beds and it's def sketchy removing it with fingers alone, I usually grab some pliers when it happens. Everyone has their own opinion and I appreciate you sharing yours.

Yeah? I've been holding out on ordering Japanese Makita and Hikoki, seems like buying almost the same thing. I get that the build quality is slightly better, maybe slightly more power or diff options. Going to wait for something completely new that I don't have the American version and order that way.

Yup. Thanks.

Ok. Sorry i'm not understanding the comment.

Yeah i've got my fingers crossed for an XGT model, nothing found in the patents by anyone, so it won't be anytime soon. With Dewalt releasing their first similar and Milwaukee rumours of an updated surge Makita better get on it.

Ah, I wish I had a better answer for you, but I don't own the DB, I toyed around with it for about an hour and a 1k shots a few weeks back. It's more compact, it's lighter, but not in a super good way. I hate using the word 'cheap' but it just felt, not flimsy, but not beefy, felt like if it came off a 6' ladder it wouldn't fair well when i've dropped the DA off a stair landing 12' and it was unphased. It's MHPT, but it's their DIY/home owner entry level nailer/stapler. If it's constant heavy use, I just don't think it'll hold up.

Sounds like warranty time. This one has taken it's abuse so far, running perfectly day one.

​@@ProToolsApproved i think the australian version is just shit 🤷‍♂️ i called milwaukee sydney head office & i asked if it supposed to have bluetooth volume sync & a small clock & they said dunno just return it 😮‍💨 thanks milwaukee

Oh please. I'm not that particular to show that every time. Batteries are full, speeds are set equal, period. This isn't amateur hour over here, everything is set equal and charged unless otherwise noted.

Thank you!

Thank you for sending! It was over 100°F out my way, and extremely humid this weekend after a very long week working outside, I was exhausted from the work and barely able to move this weekend. I wanted to film something filmed. After I use the saw this week at work in somewhat slightly cooler weather, i'll refilm and update the review and re post. Thank you Mellif!!!

@@ProToolsApproved Have a good rest.

I'm curious to see how it does this season. The acorns were small last year, they'll be large and plentiful this year.

Do what?

Thanks! Appreciate the comment.

Thank you appreciate it. Please sub if you haven't, i'm no pro at making reviews, but I try to get a little better each time.

And that's why there are diff brands of everything out there. We all have our preferences, likes, dislikes, etc. Out of curiosity, what model MetaboHPT/Hitachi is it? I have a particular one in mind, it was known for being extremely underpowered, I had it for a while myself and gave it away also, plastic chuck, very 'entry level'

It's great for it's size, I mean, keep your expectations real. You're not gonna run 1/2" anchors 4" deep with this without destroying the drill. Smaller anchors, tapcons it's quick/fast without putting huge hard vibrations on your hand/wrist/body. Perfect for overhead/high work where you don't want to be lifting a big tool to set small fasteners. At the same time, let's be real, it's a Milwaukee FUEL, my personal opinions about fan boys aside, if you needed to set a semi large/large fastener in a pinch, with the right battery and patience, it'll do it, it'll run in a fastener made for larger voltage full size hammer drills. It won't do it fast, it won't do multiple all day, it's not what it's made for, but in a pinch as I said, it'll step up and punch above it's weight class to get you out of a jam.

@ProToolsApproved Yeah I used to do drive pins and tap cons all day. Now I just get into the concrete every now and then. I was sold on the half inch chuck on this drill and the hammer drill was a bonus!

With a padlock? Yes.

Where is the hole for the padlock!? Is the hole for the padlock not metal lined like the rest of the 2.0 pack out

Awesome! Let me know how you like it!

@@ProToolsApproved I’ve tried it a couple of times since I got it, I tried the grass shears and they were okay, but for me I’ll mainly be using the hedger attachment, as it seems to be the better option for what I’ll be using it for. I’ll mainly be using it in some raised beds and small areas where weeds grow, as well as some shrubs. But, for the main hedge I’ll use my 36v makita hedger (that’s a great I’ve of kit too). Combined with the 36v brush cutter, I’ve got a good selection of garden equipment that does what I need it to do.

Def agreed with you. I wish they were closer to the blade. Trying to trim a bit off of something or an existing 'hole' make it hard. I just experienced it this week.

Absolutely agree. I wish there were closer to the blade on both sides. I experienced that problem just this week on a few cuts.

I'm aware. Prob just stumbling over my words. We all make mistakes.

Appreciate it VERY MUCH! Closing in on that 1k goal. Only took two years. Ha ha ha ha ha. Thanks again! I'm always open to suggestions on testing/reviews. I try to keep up on new tools when released. The new Milwaukee 6.5 blade left circular saw is coming when released mid month, a Dewalt DCF860 is on it's way from over seas as well as a Japanese model XGT second generation impact driver. I usually post quick bench top ' take a look at this ' videos when I get them, then full reviews after I use them in the field long enough to make an honest opinion of them. No 'garage reviews' here, real world, real usage reporting.

Didn't say the Makita will last a lifetime did I?

Awesome to hear! Let me know what you think of it! I have more Milwaukee and Dewalt than Makita, only because it's more easily available and at the time Makita still seems to be playing catch up or focusing more on XGT here in the US. They were my first 'big boy brand' when I upgraded from what I was using when I first started. It'll take a lot from another brand to take Makita away as my favorite impact/drill drivers.

Are they stainless steel? I had a recent job that required all stainless hardware and was having the same issue. They were very soft and snapping all the heads off. Switched to a drill instead of an impact to set them. The constant torque was easier on them vs the harder impact hits. If that's not an option try pre drilling the holes if they don't exist, or pre drill them out a tad larger if they already exist.
