That 1/2 hour saved me hours and hours trawling through various websites, thanks. I worked with the guys in construction on Vikings tv show for years. It was almost always 50% Dewalt 50% everything else put together, lots of yellow. Every day they debated the merits of their choices. The oldest tools tended to be Bosch and Festool so that is a test we rarely get results on. Dark green tools tended to get knocked into the water a lot so I presume its the same everywhere else too. Black & Decker more often than not found in bins (not a personal opinion but that's where i saw them). people tend to stay loyal to whatever brand they choose and people who use Hitachi seemed to be always trying to convert everyone else. Milwaukee users tended to tell you their old one was much better. Oh and Dewalt tools always seemed to be relatively new. I dont know if that means anything like they dont last or they keep bringing out upgrades or baybe even they are yellow so you can see them instead of kick them.
No different then buying a John Deere mower from Home Depot or Lowe’s and going to a John Deere dealer. There is more then a price difference at the box stores. Cheaper motors and overall cheaper made product then at a dealer. Get what you pay for...
Doing maintenance on an apartment complex, that requires me to use my own tools, about 14 years ago ( for about 160$ )I bought a cheap set of Ryobi, and besides buying more pieces and 2 newer batteries, They just keep going. Everyone has their own preference and has their own pros/cons. Great video for those that don’t know about brushless-brushed motors though.
These bundle sets are always going to be the low end version so fall the tools. Its common across all companies that they create a tool or 2 specifically for the kits and made as cheap as possible. These kits are targeted to the home users and attract those looking to save money that don't need Prosumer grade tools.
I tell everyone never buy the kits just buy the tool with a battery cause you do get the good one that way. They always give a mix of new tools and old out dated ones.
This is not deception at all just poor research on your part, nowhere does it say it's a brushless kit. Dont blame a company on your failings to pay attention. XR doesnt mean at all thats its brushless, even the old tools had XR and XRP on them. Only if it says brushless is it so, also you can tell by the shape of the motor housing on the tools.
Couldn't agree more. Glad they don't mind dropping $500 on a kit without even looking at whats in it. A quick google search would inform you that they are not the contractor versions of those tools.
Wow something amazing just happened. Never before did a review of a product match so closely to my intention to buy it the same day as the review came out! Thanks Jesse, I will have to reconsider buying this set now. All the best, keep up the good work.
I was a Dewalt/Makita user until I replaced a drill with a bosch professional. This was following the random advice, given by a guy in the store who built decking for a living. I will never buy dewalt or makita again, I tell everybody I know to choose Bosch pro (blue power tools)
Hi Jesse, Here in the UK Dewalt has such a bad rep that I have not bought any of their tools for some time. I do have a Dewalt multi-tool but it is so weak it will not even cut material. I did some work for a friend, and they wanted to pay me but I don't work for money and declined. They went out and bought a bosh multi-tool. I was annoyed with them as I had already said that I did not want anything and at some point, I may need a hand on something and ask them. But I used the Bosh multi-tool and the difference was amazing, it cut through wood like it was cutting through butter. I have heard good reports from across the pond but here pure crap.
Watching this done my head in . Why would you buy this without some research on the model numbers clearly printed on the box . You cant blame them for you not knowing what your buying .
I never buy tools without opening the box or at least checking the model numbers (that are also written nenxt to the tools on this current box cover...) Most manufacturers have several varieties of similar tools with different qualityes so yeah... You have to check what model you need.
Also Dewalt, Craftsman and several other major brands are now made in CHINA.... its plain as day on the label.... My first cordless sets were made in the good ole USA , when those burned up after years of great service the replacements never held up as well ( and I never knew why ) until one day someone pointed that out to me....wow. Great tools are hard to come by anymore and why turn a good thing bad, especially pulling wool over a consumers eyes? Latest news is I switched to Rigid because they come with a lifetime replacement of the batterys and tools for the life that you own them ( have to register your products online ) where the normal battery life is 2 years for cordless tool this saves you a ton of money and if the tool ever dies you get a new one not refurbished ! The rigid tools are heavier ( metal gearboxes ) well made tools,
Dewalt is deceptive about everything. My problem with Dewalt is the lack of quality in their motors and clutches and their poor customer service. I sold all my Dewalt cordless tools, and I will never buy their products again. Voltage and longevity are more important to me. As a Licensed Electrician, brushed tools are very adequate, but they have to be a minimum 18 volts. Anything less is only for homeowners. I have Ridgid and Milwaukee cordless tools now, and I am perfectly happy with them. I like one or maybe two battery systems at the most, no more.
It would be interesting if you switched hands with the drills because your dominant hand would have more strength and could influence the comparison.Thanks for this video. Very informative.
A side note, brushed tools last quite well, and the "wear" is on the brushes that are a consumable that can be replaced at very low cost. And I've never worn out the brushes in a cordless tool yet. And any "hammer drill" in the same format as a normal cordless drill is a joke anyhow.
I have everything in that kit, and the only thing that i think is a disappointment is the grinder, it will go through batterys fast, but does work well. The drill is a lil subpar, and the impact will last longer then the "xr impact" workwise.
Used Dewalt tools for years switch to Milwaukee tools in 2007 and never looked back. The parent company of Dewalt tools brought the quality down and now they are right there with Porter Cable both junk. I have been an electrician for 25 plus years use cordless tools everyday.
Maybe it is directed to the Home owner, not the contractor. Remember when Stanley wanted to help you do things right. LOL, she certainly loves her house.
The kit tool vs the "good" tool deception is extremely prevalent. I bought into the Makita system years ago and I've never been able to buy any of the multi tool kits. Either they don't offer the tool i want (specifying something with half the speed/torque, missing features, etc), OR there is a MASSIVE price difference, lol. I feel like manufactures haven't done a sufficient job of educating consumers as to the drastic difference in capabilities from the budget end to the pro end of the spectrum. But, when they can sell an underperforming tool, get you into the battery architecture and then sell you additional tools to meet your actual requirements, it is definitely good for their bottom line.
Using my 12 volt Craftsman set which I bought about 6 years ago. The multi-tool is one of the most useful for plunge cutting for outlet boxes and I love that the drills are so small they fit in my pocket. Only problem so far is two of my battery chargers quit working. 40 years ago when I first started in the business I was using a push drill driver and I was so pleased with the first electric drill driver I bought which was a skill
Take it from a handyman that has to be able to do anything at anytime. I have used Makita for decades. I have old NiCad drills and saw that have been used for years, some even dropped off single story roofs. I have updated to all 18volt brushless and I love them. Ive tried DuWhalt in the past, no thanks. Overpriced Black and Decker. Milwaukee would be my second choice. Do yourself a favor and compare a new set of brushless Makita anything to the DuhWhalt and I bet youll like the Makita.
So all in all, buying combo pack compared to buying independent, saves someone over $100. Theres your reason for why you get what you get. If you want real power, unlimited battery life, cheaper, use corded tools.
just like with cars guys are brand loyal. I work for a very large commercial construction company and we abuse the hell out of tools when it comes to drill and impacts dewalt brushless blows away the competition. Makita tools are garbage when it comes to heavy use. with that being said tho we use the 36v Makita circular saw you have with a steel cut blade for cutting structural metal studs and it does a good job. I haven't tried the 60v rear handle (as you call it) saw yet bit I would bet money it out performs the Makita. I remember the Makita rep giving us a killer deal on a bunch of corded screw guns at like $30 bucks a pop and within the first week more than 1/2 of them died! the rep showed up with rebuild kits for them and we laughed! just what I want to do have guys rebuild tools every week! total garbage!
That is what you get when you buy Black and Deckers high end garbage. Since Dewalt was sold to Black & Decker Dewalt has gone downhill by leaps and bounds stick with Milwaukee Tools.
I was confused - some of the tools you showed (from the kit ?) seemed to be XR brushless but others clearly were not. So was the kit a mix of both ? One point you make clear though and that is that you may come to regret not choosing each tool separately to make sure you get the model with the features you are expecting.
Dewalt used to be my favorite tools back in the 14v days, I had a drill that would run forever! I bumped up to 18v, and they turned to absolute shit overnight, the battery life was around half. Any of my real work that requires effort, I relegate to my back up Ryobi tools, as like my old dewalt, the batter life under load is twice as long. So I'm moving back to makita, and Ryobi as my backup still.
My wife bought me the same "kit" for Christmas. I thanked her and said upon first view it's exactly what I wanted, but... I then explained why I didn't like. I still ended up keeping it because after the Black Friday special, plus military discount, plus employee discount (sister with her), the whole kit was less then I could buy one tool with a battery. With my other battery plus what came with the kit I have plenty of batteries and just have to swap batteries more. If I was still daily working a trade in the field I would have definitely returned for most reasons stated in this video. I currently work a desk and do projects at home and a house flip 1-2 times a year.
I got the DeWalt "Father's Day" special bundle last year. The tools work well enough for the few jobs I have asked them to do...BUT...The thing which I do not like are the Bluetooth speakers, the little vacuum cleaner and the little blower. These are three of 12 tools I will never use. I will check for brushless tools next time.
Thank You Thank You Thank You you just taught this old dog something new that has had me scratching my head bunches lately. God Bless Y'all and have a Blessed and Happy Easter. Remember where you hide all the eggs, because they become little stinkers
This Summer are you two (or should I say you three) going to put in a Whole House Back-Up Propane generator in case the main grid goes down next winter? I don't think the Solar or your small generator's will give you as much power if the power goes out for days. It could and will happen. Your wife enjoys the heater in the bathroom, right? Do you have a backup heat source for this house???? If you do I missed this in the building of your home. Jesse, you spent 30 minutes on this DEWALT video, good information you had, plus the time spent videotaping, and Alyssa’s editing the video. Start looking into the Generator’s on the market and researching what will be best for your family’s home security when the power goes out. Jesse, if you and Alyssa felt the Plane was a good investment then the generator should be on that same list. Don’t wait any longer it will take some time to put this in place before winter. You guys are living my dream keep up the good work, great video's also. Thanks to you both for listening, also hope this helps you. When your first born comes LIFE will change for you both. They will grow up fast my daughter is 24 now the time flies. Toby
Regardless of all the comment banter, thanks for a very good review. You can see they're are many who are long standing loyals to certain brands. In the Trades, the most important thing is Durability. Battery life has value, but if you have two of them, just change and move on. Thanks for the review, I don't like the "Cheapness" of the kits. I've never bought one for that particular reason. Stand alone is always the way to go.
mojo65 idk my black and decker have lasted years and so have my parents 🤷🏻♀️ My grandpa was a carpenter and a masonry when he was alive, he used both dewalt and black and decker. 🤷🏻♀️
We have a dewalt battery powered chainsaw ...i absolutely love it... its easier to use than my regular chainsaw...the only thing i would change on it is the front part of it by the chain... they just have a plastic peice there instead of having a metal saftey guard ...it would be nice cause i have had a piece of wood come back and hit the front of it... luckily it did no damagr, but its the only thing i would change... price of the saw on sale was $299.99 plus tax... i wish we could have bought the saw sooner... its awesome :)
XR does not and never has meant the the tool is brushless. XR tools came out long before the brushless tools were introduced. XR stands for extreme runtime. I will agree that those package deals do usually come with the cheaper models of the tools. If you are looking for good tools, you will rarely find them discounted. You get what you pay for. (Most of the time)
You bought an entry level diy discount kit and are comparing it to their premium trade tools, the model numbers are even on the side of e box, unfair to blame Dewalt for your mistake.
So you're mad at DeWalt because you didn't do your research??? I'm quite sure XR means Extended Run. They have been using that branding since long before they even made brushless tools with the XRP (extended run pack) batteries.
XR stands for “extreme runtime” not an indicator whether or not the motor is brushless. My regular dewalt impact driver is brushless but it’s not xr. Took a quick google search to find that.
Sooo...you were expecting professional level tools from a kit that literally no professional would buy, that is clearly priced for value buyers... I think you have more problems than DeWalt lol.
May not be what you expected but you failed to do anything other that look at the price then looked at the pretty pictures on the box .......not Dewalts fault you “assumed”.
If you want to be honest BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF, 1st thing to look for is whether or NOT the packaging clearly says BRUSHLESS if it doesn't then DON'T assume it is brushless. Fault is with the CONSUMER and not the maker!
Shame on YOU! 7:40 It says XR right on the drill!! So you got exactly what was on the box. And as so many others have stated, XR has NOTHING to do with brushless. It stands for Xtreme Runtime. There are truths being told in this video but the whole premise of it is bunked. Don't bash Dewalt. They sell low to moderately priced tools for standard use and do a damn good job in that role. You dont go buy an F450 to pull the yard trailer around on the weekends. Change the title dude.
Anyone who buys a box load of tools, most that you already own, does not unpack them for over six months, never needed them in the first place, definitely shows that money is plentiful and decision making is questionable .......
XR does not mean Brushless, It stands for Extreme Runtime. That is straight from Dewalts website. To me its not Dewalts fault, you seen XR (again which doesn't mean Brushless) and you assumed. Didn't read that box. Just sayin.
You do NOT want a grinder to immediately brake. Inertia of the wheel/brush/stone on the spindle would unscrew itself (and potentially become an abrasive frisbee ...)
Not shame on Dewalt, shame on you for not doing your research. Impulse buying will get you everytime. I gave this video a thumbs down because it is you that is wrong.
I ALWAYS research the snot out of tools before I buy. I learned that an emotional buy gets paid for more than once. So double takes get photographed to go home and see just what it really is. Kits are for beginners.
The flashlight is brushless
I think it's safe to say that Jessie isn't going to get sponsored by DeWalt anytime soon!
XR doesn't mean brushless, it means extra runtime
That 1/2 hour saved me hours and hours trawling through various websites, thanks. I worked with the guys in construction on Vikings tv show for years. It was almost always 50% Dewalt 50% everything else put together, lots of yellow. Every day they debated the merits of their choices.

My husband has some of everything, and he got a cheap set of Ryobi too several years ago that he has been super happy with.
16:14 there's no need to tighten the nut that tight. Just past Finger tight works fine. The tool running with tighten it more.
"XR" Means "EXTREME RUNTIME"!!! It does not mean Brushless!! Do your research before making a video like this!

i thought XR was "Extreme Runtime"....
You had your Pregnant wife clean up after you, that had to cost you lol Great video.
I literally ordered one of these kits today. Haha. For the type of job I am planing on doing I think it’s fine any ways.
I never buy tools without opening the box or at least checking the model numbers (that are also written nenxt to the tools on this current box cover...) Most manufacturers have several varieties of similar tools with different qualityes so yeah... You have to check what model you need.

The rigid tools are heavier ( metal gearboxes ) well made tools,
but the toolbox still makes a perfect bedside table!
Yes sir DeWalt has both homeowner version and contractor version they'll get you every time
Buyer beware. (Why didn't you use the same blade on both the Milwaukee and the DeWalt? The larger blade on big red waa a huge handicap)
I don't think I've ever seen a variable speed grinder .
Dewalt is deceptive about everything. My problem with Dewalt is the lack of quality in their motors and clutches and their poor customer service. I sold all my Dewalt cordless tools, and I will never buy their products again. Voltage and longevity are more important to me. As a Licensed Electrician, brushed tools are very adequate, but they have to be a minimum 18 volts. Anything less is only for homeowners. I have Ridgid and Milwaukee cordless tools now, and I am perfectly happy with them. I like one or maybe two battery systems at the most, no more.
It would be interesting if you switched hands with the drills because your dominant hand would have more strength and could influence the comparison.Thanks for this video. Very informative.

Still using my old ass Hitachi brushed drill. Half falling apart but man it goes forever.
Did you learn how to read or did you only learn how to dance and clap your hands in shool? Read what is in the box not only look at the pics.
and the Ms. cleans up your mess ... :( shame on you
I have everything in that kit, and the only thing that i think is a disappointment is the grinder, it will go through batterys fast, but does work well. The drill is a lil subpar, and the impact will last longer then the "xr impact" workwise.
Used Dewalt tools for years switch to Milwaukee tools in 2007 and never looked back. The parent company of Dewalt tools brought the quality down and now they are right there with Porter Cable both junk. I have been an electrician for 25 plus years use cordless tools everyday.
tool companys make diffrent tools for black friday deals you cant buy off the shelf
You bought the lower end kit, the link you put in the description has all higher end tools.
Maybe it is directed to the Home owner, not the contractor. Remember when Stanley wanted to help you do things right. LOL, she certainly loves her house.
Awesome video! Your comparisons are spot on! Thanks so much for explaining these is such great detail and putting them to the test!

XR is extended run
I guess I’m in the minority for looking up the item numbers, seeing where it is in the hierarchy, and then buying the model that suits my needs.
Using my 12 volt Craftsman set which I bought about 6 years ago. The multi-tool is one of the most useful for plunge cutting for outlet boxes and I love that the drills are so small they fit in my pocket.

Do yourself a favor and compare a new set of brushless Makita anything to the DuhWhalt and I bet youll like the Makita.
Sadly a lot of these kits have one or several tools that are cheaper or not so heavy duty so I’ve always avoided them and buy the tool or body I want.
There is a difference in the quality of the DEWALT tools that you buy from Home Depot and a tool supply house
So all in all, buying combo pack compared to buying independent, saves someone over $100. Theres your reason for why you get what you get. If you want real power, unlimited battery life, cheaper, use corded tools.

THANK YOU! I've been in the process of expanding my set of Dewalt tools and I now will be super suspicious of the kits!
That is what you get when you buy Black and Deckers high end garbage. Since Dewalt was sold to Black & Decker Dewalt has gone downhill by leaps and bounds stick with Milwaukee Tools.
You have not got a clue. Dewalt make two XR drills.
Milwaukee, I have had bad luck with dewalt since the mid 90s. They do make a good mitersaw however.
I like dewalt stuff
The DeWalt kits seems like they bundle better quality models here in the UK
I was confused - some of the tools you showed (from the kit ?) seemed to be XR brushless but others clearly were not. So was the kit a mix of both ?

ryobi's kit is even worse, the circular cant even make it through a 2x4
Thank You Thank You Thank You you just taught this old dog something new that has had me scratching my head bunches lately. God Bless Y'all and have a Blessed and Happy Easter. Remember where you hide all the eggs, because they become little stinkers
They should advertise it as a weekend worior tool set so you know it isnt the better set

yellow black@decker...... no thanks
Completely two different companies.
And Stanley...
I had a dewalt cordless drill that lasted close to 20 years and I used it a lot when i first got it too
mojo65 idk my black and decker have lasted years and so have my parents 🤷🏻♀️
My grandpa was a carpenter and a masonry when he was alive, he used both dewalt and black and decker. 🤷🏻♀️
USA and China difference
I have the saw zaw the clip has never gave me a problem i also have the grinder and the run down isnt bad you really dont want a fast stop
what you pay is what you get ,
Another difference between what you bought and what is on the site is the case.
We have a dewalt battery powered chainsaw ...i absolutely love it... its easier to use than my regular chainsaw...the only thing i would change on it is the front part of it by the chain... they just have a plastic peice there instead of having a metal saftey guard ...it would be nice cause i have had a piece of wood come back and hit the front of it... luckily it did no damagr, but its the only thing i would change... price of the saw on sale was $299.99 plus tax... i wish we could have bought the saw sooner... its awesome :)
Wait, where's her end table?
XR does not and never has meant the the tool is brushless. XR tools came out long before the brushless tools were introduced. XR stands for extreme runtime. I will agree that those package deals do usually come with the cheaper models of the tools. If you are looking for good tools, you will rarely find them discounted. You get what you pay for. (Most of the time)
You bought an entry level diy discount kit and are comparing it to their premium trade tools, the model numbers are even on the side of e box, unfair to blame Dewalt for your mistake.
So you're mad at DeWalt because you didn't do your research??? I'm quite sure XR means Extended Run. They have been using that branding since long before they even made brushless tools with the XRP (extended run pack) batteries.
XR stands for “extreme runtime” not an indicator whether or not the motor is brushless. My regular dewalt impact driver is brushless but it’s not xr. Took a quick google search to find that.
Sooo...you were expecting professional level tools from a kit that literally no professional would buy, that is clearly priced for value buyers...
I think you have more problems than DeWalt lol.
XR=Extreme Runtime
BL=BrushLess
May not be what you expected but you failed to do anything other that look at the price then looked at the pretty pictures on the box .......not Dewalts fault you “assumed”.
XR does not mean brushless.
If you want to be honest BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF, 1st thing to look for is whether or NOT the packaging clearly says BRUSHLESS if it doesn't then DON'T assume it is brushless. Fault is with the CONSUMER and not the maker!
xr just means extended run time, not brushless... brushless means brushless
XR is for extended run time. Bigger sized batteries, has nothing to do with motor design.
@Jessie / you bought a box of new tools and didn't open it til 6 months later ???? that's just wrong ;-)
Shame on YOU! 7:40 It says XR right on the drill!! So you got exactly what was on the box. And as so many others have stated, XR has NOTHING to do with brushless. It stands for Xtreme Runtime. There are truths being told in this video but the whole premise of it is bunked. Don't bash Dewalt. They sell low to moderately priced tools for standard use and do a damn good job in that role. You dont go buy an F450 to pull the yard trailer around on the weekends.
Change the title dude.
You bought something without doing your homework, you can't blame Dewalt for that.
HI THERE I DON'T MEAN TO NAG BUT WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO GO BACK TO COMPLETING THE HOUSE, JUST SAYING.
Hello... she's pregnant and it's been winter there besides they needed a break! Get off their backs! Sheesh.
Probably when the spring thaw finish up. I don't believe they can get deliveries until ground thaw\snow melt is done.
Anyone who buys a box load of tools, most that you already own, does not unpack them for over six months, never needed them in the first place, definitely shows that money is plentiful and decision making is questionable .......
XR is dewalt's branding of batteries not tools.
Then why are some of their cordless tools labeled "XR"?
Dewalt put XR on the batterys 20 years ago ! Extra Reserve power. Pay attention to the model numbers when you buy .
You wont need them, you dont build anything anymore
Where did you get the idea that XR means ‘brushless’?
Nice vid though
XR does not mean Brushless, It stands for Extreme Runtime. That is straight from Dewalts website. To me its not Dewalts fault, you seen XR (again which doesn't mean Brushless) and you assumed. Didn't read that box. Just sayin.
You do NOT want a grinder to immediately brake. Inertia of the wheel/brush/stone on the spindle would unscrew itself (and potentially become an abrasive frisbee ...)
Not shame on Dewalt, shame on you for not doing your research.
Impulse buying will get you everytime.
I gave this video a thumbs down because it is you that is wrong.
That's not fair. You make the mess and your pregnant wife cleans up and puts away for you. LOL!
I ALWAYS research the snot out of tools before I buy. I learned that an emotional buy gets paid for more than once. So double takes get photographed to go home and see just what it really is. Kits are for beginners.
Okay, it is the apprentice's tool kit. He replaces them as he wears them out with serious stuff.
