i like how they are using the stubby low torque version of the Milwaukee and it still matched the Snap on. i want to see the full sized Milwaukee in the same tests.
Snap-on is well known to be just overpriced brand rather than quality. DeWalt has never let me down, my dad or his dad who was a machinist. Pretty much every power tool is DeWalt, with the nice big batteries
I’m an Irrigation Technician and I can confirm, when you are 25ft above the ground and need your hands to climb down in a rainstorm, that Milwaukee will still work
They just don’t cause it would cause them to die a lot faster and then they’d likely have to deal with warranty shut cause people were dunking their impacts into the water
Exactly what I expected tbh. Snap On makes some good hand tools, but Milwaukee's power tool game, especially their M18 series, is unreal. I'd love to see another test comparing them and other mid range brands like DeWalt, Makita, etc
I agree completely. I'm a tech and a lot of my hand tools are snap on cause of the lifetime warranty and convenience of the truck coming to me and replacing them but the power tools don't offer the same warranty. I think it's only like 2 years and they don't even perform as well as my Milwaukee or Mac tools stuff.
Another important aspect of this test is the length of the tool. The milwaukee is REALLY compact compared to the HF and Snap-on. Being able to fit the tool in a tight spot can often be the difference between being able to get a nut or bolt with the gun, or having to get out a wrench.
I have that Milwaukee. I love it but in all honesty the stub nose is garbage. You can get in a tight spot if if there’s any sort of edge the long nose is nice to be able to “get on the nut” know what I’m saying? I have the high torque 1/2” and it’s a beast. Both the 3/8” and 1/2” outperform the snap on and even Mac tools (which are rebranded dewalt)
That's honestly one thing I was about to mention in the comments till I saw your video because the stubby ones usually have less breakaway torque then normal nose ones due to the compact design. Plus snap on makes stubby impacts and vice versa for Milwaukee.
As a huge Harbor Freight fan it makes me happy that Bauer kept up and although it gave out in the end, it was still able to perform up to 275pounds max. As a budget impact i think i made the right choice, now when its time for me to purchase a solid impact... Milwakee is on my priority list. The way it ejected water and continued to work while submerged into a tank of water was insane. That definitely caught us all by surprise!
If you are just using it around the house or on projects bauer is great but if you use it hard everyday you would want to spend more money that said I love Bauer
For the longest time I thought these two men were the same person, now that I've seen them in the same video I can die peacefully knowing they are two different people
WAIT, they also started the video with Jeremiah being a lot taller than Zach, but in the end they look the same height, WHAT IS GOING ON, IS THE MULTIVERSE CONFIRMED?!
@@jaroodthefab5669 not their power tools, and pretty sure no warranty on batteries. In the power tool world they're years behind the competition in quality
As somebody gearing up to buy his first entire set of mechanics tools, thank you for this series. It’s saving me a ton of money and letting me not feel like I’m making the wrong choice by getting the cheaper tool to save some cash!
Man, I’ve seen a Milwaukee survive a 95 foot drop in my line of work and still fire up, I knew it would crush that overpriced snap on. That harbor freight one surprised me too though, not bad until it overheated lol!
I was at work a few weeks ago and one of the roofers dropped there m18 fuel impact driver off the roof and it fired right up. That one was probably only 40ft.
Same, but the overheating issue probably wouldn't be an issue for someone who isn't doing lag bolts all day. And if that's the case go up to the half inch?
I throw my dewalt off roofs all the time. The only thing it dont handle well is rain, it slows down and weakens, but once dry, its spinnin. My Milwaukee, RIP i lost it in a fire, it held up against anything and everything
I think the HF and Milwaukee deserve a spot in my tool box for different purposes. The HF can be a good impact to keep in your car for travelling like overlanding and roadtrips or for project car work. The Milwaukee can be used professionally for industrial work. The Snapon is just too expensive to justify for any use when the Milwaukee does a way better job and is more durable for less the cost.
The m12 Stubby from Milwaukee is smaller and lighter than the M18 stubby just about as powerful (especially with the 6amp battery). It’s perfect for what your talking about and was recently on sale with a 3.0 battery for $150. I use mine in the garage as well as it comes with us in our camper.
Thats smart I might get an HF just to keep in my car, I never keep my milwaukee tools in my car in case it gets broken into It won't as much of a loss.
Go watch project farm on UA-cam. This video was such a waste of time. They seem to be focusing on making more trash content and less good content like money pit

@@TacticalHemorrhoid Good to know at least something is still made here, I'm curious of what they make there. I'm thinking old school heavy duty stuff like mag drills.
Love Milwaukee. As a professional mechanic its all I use for power tools. I would love to see a wrench set put to the test next. Those snap on wrenches are about 50 dollars a piece.
They even kinda cheated Milwaukee too. that's the stubby 3/8. the rest were full size. the full size 3/8 Milwaukee is rated for something like 500lbs nut-busting
As someone who used to be a heavy-duty mech, I can say the Milwaukie impacts and drills refuse to die. Ive watched them get ran over by logging trucks and come out laughing
@@SHUTDOORproduction not everyone, some mechanic still swear by snap on. That's the only reason they're still alive. The contract those mechanics have with snap on.
@@UnfiItered i've gotta imagine most of those people that still swear by Snap-On are still using their 30 y/o Snap-On tools that they got back when Snap-On made good products.
I came here because I just changed the wheels of my car. Did it outside the garage under quite rainy conditions. I used a Milwaukee M18 Fuel impact. I placed that thing under shelter as soon I switched to the torque wrench or moved a wheel. I thought it is not waterproofed and I better be careful with the impact driver not beeing exposed to rain. Now I cross checked my assumption with this wonderful video test. Conclusion: I was anxious without any reason. Given this hard facts I will use the Milwaukee M18 impact with less precaution regarding wet conditions next time. I feel comfortable and happy to have such a high quality tool.
Torque wrenches would be great for the next series. I'm always debating if its worth it to buy a very high end wrench or if the harbor freight ones do just fine.
The newer icon and Quinn Torque wrenches are pretty awesome. Even the cheap Pittsburgh aren't horrible, I'd use em for torquing wheels down don't know about an engine build tho.
@@rickymackie2340 I always look to see if Project Farm has a video on a tool I need before I go out and get it. Probably the best head to head comparisons out there
The most awesome outcome I have seen in a while. I am super impressed with the rugged nature of that Milwaukee impact. Also just good to see both of these guys on videos together! They have some of my favorite segments on this channel.
Since losing motor trend on UA-cam, donut is all I need and want. You have grown so much and I really appreciate you for being different than most who just copy what all other UA-camrs do
It's honestly wild that the Milwaukee is THAT durable. I seen a video one time of a guy whose garage had burned down, but his milwaukee cordless ratchet was still sitting on a counter left standing and all melted and it still worked. Milwaukee is the shit
Lol this last week I had my Milwaukee m18 impact driver on my welding table and accidentally bumped it while grabbing something and was having a huge adhd issue and left my wire feed on and for some reason had the driver on top of the feed cable next to the trigger. Can you guess what happened, if you guessed that the driver depressed the trigger on the stupidly left on wire feed you would be correct lol well it was sitting arcing the side of the driver and the table for idk 1-2 seconds I was actually recording so I am going to upload it when I can find where it was. Anyways it was fine aside from a nasty burn on the shell lol. All of my tools are m18 fuel items aside from a little 12in 20v Dewalt chainsaw I use to clear smaller trees and limb trees with and my 16in compound sliding miter saw also Dewalt oh and my dad's old Dewalt 1/2in corded impact wrench and corded grinder my mom gave me. I would have gotten the m18 cordless miter saw but I got the Dewalt from a client who bought it to try making things but he couldn't get the plate and blade zeroed so he gave it to me for replacing his decking boards for him I told him it would probably only be 2 or 3 hours of work and he didn't mind because he bought it for replacing them anyways best 3 hours of work ever.
I'm a Milwaukee fan and I'm so happy for the results. Much respect for you guys torturing these tools for use. I would never do such things to my tools.
Torque test channel specializes in that. Not dissing project farm, but they tend to be more of a generalist. Either way, it's still a good point of comparison.
@Ben C he doesn't work for Amazon. He uses Amazon affiliate links. Those are completely different things. Idk if you're deliberately spreading misinformation or just misinformed
@@ChrisPBacon-gn9jx Ridgid is also owned by TTI, the parent company that also owns Milwaukee and Ryobi. They are a solid choice, but some of their cordless tools are definitely built according to the lower price.
Being able to drive into town and exchange it if it breaks or whatever. This and a small jump box or two of the best things you can buy..Not only just for yourself.Being able to help people jump their vechile or change a tire in a few mins.
As someone who works in heavy duty repairs, Milwaukees are always being replaced, snap-ons barely ever need to be repaired or replaced. There was one Milwaukee drill dropped today under 3 feet and it completed died.
I've spent 4 years in diesel shops and pretty much anyone who had snapon electric tools ended up ditching them for milwaukee. I had a snapon impact for about a year and everything in the kit failed other than 1 of the batteries. Ended up costing close to a grand to buy and maintain. The only nice thing about snapon is that the tools come to you, that's it.
Milwaukee is no joke... It's all we use on the job site and it's never let us down through the rain, mud, dirt, sand, sewer, heat and cold! The batteries last ages and hold charge even after years of use and the power they output never disappoints!
I have been super happy with my Bauer and Hercules tools. My Hercules impact puts out 1400 pound feet of removing torque and 1000 pound feet of fastening. I have broke too many bolts to count with that thing. I tested the break away torque and it tested at 1430 pound feet or torque. It was a $200 impact with a $120 12ah battery, but for $320 total I'm really happy! The same company that makes Milwaukee also makes Bauer and Hercules.
We use them at work as a pipefitter all day. We got one on the job brand new some moron left it outside the case filled water and the tool was frozen solid. Thawed it out and it takes old flanges apart like they weren't even there. That sold me on getting one for the house
Hands down best power tools for mechanics not sure the rest of their line up but the impacts are perfect.. I mean they own the patent to a 18 volt lithium ion battery pack that's why DeWalt and everyone is going to 20V
We use Milwaukee for my plumbing shop, and sometimes when you cut a pipe or work somewhere that’s got a leak and is full of water, you really do need your tools to perform when they’re wet or taking abuse. Milwaukee has held up every time. I’m continually impressed by how the just don’t give a shit about anything but continuing to work
@@brznibba1108 the one in the video is the m18 18 volt. The above comment is for the m12 12 volt. I've heard the 12 volt is pretty decent. Bit obviously the 18 volt is better
I love our makita, fukers like 13 years old and it has pulled hatder, outlasted, and done way better than about 3 different ryobi's we have gotten over the past 4 years
Man that was awesome! Would love to see the same thing done with other brands. Dewalt vs Milwaukee vs Makita vs Ryobi and so on. This type of video is hugely important to consumers. Great work Donut crew!
@@fncrazy101 I thought the exact same thing someone at Donut Media saw Project Farm and thought ''we can do that too but more fun :P'' but less professional test results imo like the water test, in the end, makes no sense because who is gonna use an electric tool in a heavy downpour....
Im a newbie in my trade. Never been a guy that worked well with tools before. Now that buying tools as an adult is like buying toys and games as a kid, I'm glad that I dont have to feel as guilty about slowly becoming a Milwaukee cultist. You really aren't just paying for the name and the superior color palette.
Milwaukee actually did go to crap for awhile but have been making huge improvements to the quality of their tools in the last 10 years. That said, anything can have problems or get worn out and broken.
Their Fuel series are some of the best tools tested. There are so many comparison videos with other brands for the same or more money and Milwaukee seems to always take the cake.
Exactly what i expected. Ran a few shops in my day and at some point my techs would always ditch their power tools from snap on for Milwaukee or dewalt . Best bang for your buck
We work sand and gravel pits, liner changes, screens and pulling big electric motors, dewalt and Milwaukee cordless out pace and torque the big pneumatic 100% of the time. There is a reason they are too dog in the cordless market, the half Bach drive impacts In both brands are absolute beasts
@@crumplygrub3212 it's not. Both milwaukee and riDgid are chinese manufacture now, watch a video by AvE on it. Milwaukee used to be american but it was sold lol. Hilti is better value for money if you are gonna use your tool regularly
@@kylehills2754 how is it that you've never used Hilti lol? It's miles ahead of dewalt and milwaukee. The starting price is a bit bigger, but the repairs are less frequent and it often works faster meaning you have less downtime + get it done more quickly
Im not surprised at all. The first time i got the opportunity to test Milwaukee, it just blown my mind. Directly when you hold the Milwaukee, you really can feel that it's just pure quality. We have the M18 series at work but i don't need that performance so using the M12 series at home and boy, it's perfect. Love the smaller size. Then we have the huge amount of different Milwaukee tools that all using the same battery. Have been trying both DeWalt, Makita, AEG, Ryobi and Hikoki. They work but it not the same quality and stability that Milwaukee provides 👍
Not a big equipment/tools guy, but I worked in solar farms where you put equipment to the test and the only one we used it’s a Milwaukee you can’t go wrong honestly respect! I’m talking about all day long tightening bolts to the max potential Milwaukee is the way!
This show's great! I can't wait to see more!! It's like a perfect pocket for Donut too. They just get to destroy stuff with vague accuracy and record it!
This is a great test! But remember when you buy cordless tools you're also buying into the platform. The Milwaukee tools line up dwarfs Bauer and Snap On. Milwaukee is also much more widely available.
Yeah that's one reason I never bought any bauer battery tools. They have some nice plug-in tools tho. I love my big belt sander and my rotary hammer. Their demolition hammer and jackhammer look pretty nice too, but none of that is really car related
For cordless systems I would say - Milwaukee, Makita, and Dewalt are clear kings and you cannot go wrong with any of those. Hilti, Festool and (maybe) Snap-On could be considered by bigger companies that specialize in specific area because of longevity and service... then again one could buy whole set of Makitas for the price of one Snap-On tool
@@sorrywrongnumber5280 It's really impressive how much Harbor Freight's quality has improved in the last 10 years. Though it can be pretty hit or miss But for cordless tools on a budget I always recommend Ryobi. IMO they're the best value with a huge catalog for DIY.
I've had my Sawzall and drills for 5 years, those things have endured all kinds of torture from my apprentice burying one of em to dropping it off a scissor lift they do not care. Those tools are beasts.
Between personal experiences and AvE videos i knew which one would win😂 my fathers a carpenter and has the same XC5.0 batteries that he got when he started making the switch from Makita 7 or so years ago, they still work perfectly. Ive seen a ton of mechanics say they’ll never use anything but Milwaukee and all my tools now and in the future are and will be Milwaukee
I primarily only use Milwaukee, I do however have 3 snap on cordless ratchets, and 1 Milwaukee. The Milwaukee has a bit more power, but other than that I like the snap on ones better, but they cost more than double the price.
If Hi-Lo and Money Pit had a baby, it would be Tool Party. I freakin love this series, thank you for doing this. Gonna be clutch as I build and upgrade my toolbox.
Great show! However, the timing test for removing a lug nut requires additional tests for each tool. Maybe 1 wheel per tool to get an accurate reading and remove variability.
fr. snap on is great but for the price and performance milwaukee seems like the way to go. I will say for a tire gun the matco 1/2" fuckn rips probably strongest out there. Anyway milwaukee is killin it. I hope they don't go the craftsman route/get bought at and go full crap.
Their 90 degree hammer drill is garbage....or at least the one i have is. My coworkers have bosch and dewalt and theirs dont stall out near as easy when we hit rebar. They have the straight style though so maybe that has something to do with it and the 90 degree ones just arent as strong.
@@PureSPLprix Never tested Milwaukee because South America but I did tried DeWalt and used Bosch and they're top tier so I guess there's no comparison point. My brother worked with a German (not Chinese) Bosch hammer drill for +15 years and stall outs were rare. That said if you can get your hands on a Metabo don't hesitate, it's the best you can get both on power and reliability.
Kinda bummed there wasnt a dewalt impact up there, i love my mac branded dewalt stuff super reliable and longest lasting batteries ive ever used. However the lower end of dewalt is hit and miss ill admit.
Hey man I have been doing construction my whole life I have always been a Milwaukee fan for everything but I’m going to admit dewalt skillsaw is 100% better. It has so much how power. And miter cuts the Milwaukee barley how the power.
As an owner of that Bauer, I think it's an amazing value - none of us ever believed the label did we? 😜 But the Milwaukee... I think I may seeing more of you in my toolbox...
I've personally tested many tools from many different brands. Milwaukee always ends up being the best in power tools .As for power tools I use Milwaukee and hand tools I use USA Craftsman. Never have an issue with either. Craftsman offers a lifetime guarantee on their hand tools, so if they ever break on you they will replace them. so far I haven't had to use that guarantee. i used to be cheap when it came to tools. id buy all of the harbor freight wrenches, sockets, ratchets, torque wrenches, and power tools. there was always the issue of tools breaking, snapping , catching fire or just being defective out the box. so I have a buddy that let me use his quality tool set and I was astounded at how much easier the whole experience was. From then on i phased out the harbor freight tools with quality sets , and so far don't regret forking out the extra bucks.
I've drop a Milwaukee impact I would say three stories high from a sky lift and snapped the handle right in the middle, wrapped it up with tape and it still had the power and torque like if it never broke... I would definitely invest into their products and stocks. Truly amazing
I live in an apartment, don't currently own a car, and literally have just the most basic hand tool box but I still found this fascinating to watch haha, great stuff~
Buy Milwaukee or Mac tools! There both the same power tools and I can't stress this enough. There invincible and you don't have to charge batteries for weeks or months at a time
@@jamiekessler424 I'm running ryobi rn just cause of the price and I don't do a lot of dyi atm but I've been considering switching to Dewalt or Milwaukee whenever I start doing more. It'll really depend on whoever has the better sale when I'm ready
@@lifeisgoodskt excellent feedback Peter, except I’m fully gay so the thought of some guy with power tools coming to fix stuff for me is very appealing lol
I have the Bauer and for me just doing backyard mechanics work I’m extremely impressed with it. I have a lot of their lineup of tools and they’re great. That being said I don’t use them daily and if I did I think the Milwaukee is the clear choice!
I do construction in the pacific northwest and we all switched to Milwaukee a year ago. I'd definitely recommend all of their fuel line tools. Even compared to hilti the Milwaukees hold up better. I've run my hammer drill completely underwater and it still chuggs along.
I rebuilt powers years ago, I will always choose Milwaukee, all their power tools are very solid. If you're not doing real hard work all day or seeing a ton of abuse, the regular Milwaukee line will be fine, the Fuel line is a beast though. For home I have the regular line but for work it's Fuel.
@@digitalcitizen4533 100% back Milwaukee. Get the mid torque and not the stubby they used here. The mid torque has more break away torque and is $10-$20 more. Well worth the money.
CP's are like the entry level. XC's are the intermediate (most people that do a lot of work with them) batteries with extended capacity and the HD's are the more commercial service batteries. Contractors usually buy that kind of stuff.
The 3.0 high out put compact battery is my go-to, even for my chonky boi 1/2 high torque fuel gun. It doesn’t last long but that’s why I have 3 other 3.0 HO batteries, I hardly touch the XC5.0s, XC8.0/6.0s and my 12.0 only sees the M18 chainsaw.
Bought a milwaukee impact 10 years ago and that thing is still running strong. It has the same batteries that we got when we bought it and no matter what the occasion it has always pulled through. Honestly it was the best purchase ever.
Great seeing Zack and Jeremiah together. It would be awesome if they hosted Money Pit season 3 as well - extremely fun guys with great on screen chemistry
Over the last 4 years I've been switching over to the M18 Fuel line as my old tools crap out. Gotta say I have yet to be disappointed, Milwaukee seems to have their game on point right now.
I used to clean the transmission fluid out of my 1/4 inch Milwaukee by dunking it in brake clean. That was 5 years ago and I still use it to this day. Love Milwaukee Tools!!
@Jim jibroni Not at all. The more the merrier. The water dunking was great, and other fun entertaining stuff we dont touch on either. The world needs much more than TTC to bring light to all this stuff.
I'm so happy that the Milwaukee is the impact wrench I have. Just a side note, the warranty on milwaukee is supposedly as good as snap on, I wouldn't know though, because much like the results here, mine is still going strong, and their batteries are not that bad since Home Depot runs some pretty epic sales on them fairly often.
I picked Milwaukee because I'm not a professional and they are known to have the best protective electronics setup built in with the purpose of stopping people from damaging them. They'll keep you from breaking your own tools and the battery test didn't surprise me because I saw a previous battery test that showed very little torque loss , if any at all, until the battery had used 90% of it's power. That guy hooked it up to some kind of computer to measure torque output over time.
I need to admit I am shocked the Snap-On was second. Let’s think about this. For almost 3 times the price we’d expect it to have won 🥇 out in some of these tests. Maybe it’s all in the name?
💯 the name, of course they make quality tools but they have to pay independent distributors and are “american made” so they charge these ridiculous prices because techs are silly enough to think the tools they go into debt for are better than any other tool with a good lifetime warranty
I love seeing harbor freight tools doing pretty decent when compared to the big names. One of my bosses is a harbor freight tool nut, and he was saying that Hercules is better than Bauer and is supposed to be a competitor to Dewalt
And at 1/3 the price…does that (totally badass, but) Milwaukee last 3x as long? I don’t use tools enough to justify more than harbor freight. I buy good wrenches etc so they don’t rust as much/quickly, but.

The Milwaukee they used is the new gen mid torque. All these seem to be mid torque wrenches. The stubby low torques are still m12
@@matthewalbright6108 no the Milwaukee mid torque is a 600 ft lb torque impact that is a 3/8 stubby and still crushed snap on in every way
Thats not real stubby. Real stubby is the M12 system. The one they used is the M18 version of 'stubby'. Both version have the same specs.
Snap-on is well known to be just overpriced brand rather than quality. DeWalt has never let me down, my dad or his dad who was a machinist. Pretty much every power tool is DeWalt, with the nice big batteries

@@collinlaque964 I've heard they're built in the same factory as Milwaukee (idk if that's true) so that'd be really interesting to see
I agree completely. I'm a tech and a lot of my hand tools are snap on cause of the lifetime warranty and convenience of the truck coming to me and replacing them but the power tools don't offer the same warranty. I think it's only like 2 years and they don't even perform as well as my Milwaukee or Mac tools stuff.
In my experience, snap on is literally never worth it. Weaker, proprietary batteries, the batteries suck. I can keep going lol.
Another important aspect of this test is the length of the tool. The milwaukee is REALLY compact compared to the HF and Snap-on. Being able to fit the tool in a tight spot can often be the difference between being able to get a nut or bolt with the gun, or having to get out a wrench.
Yeah they didn’t mention that!
Fr my m12 stubby can get anywhere i can get my fist, i barely use my wrench outside of really tight interior spots like under certain seats
I have that Milwaukee. I love it but in all honesty the stub nose is garbage. You can get in a tight spot if if there’s any sort of edge the long nose is nice to be able to “get on the nut” know what I’m saying?
I have the high torque 1/2” and it’s a beast. Both the 3/8” and 1/2” outperform the snap on and even Mac tools (which are rebranded dewalt)
That's honestly one thing I was about to mention in the comments till I saw your video because the stubby ones usually have less breakaway torque then normal nose ones due to the compact design. Plus snap on makes stubby impacts and vice versa for Milwaukee.
Luckily Milwaukee has a longer head mid torque!
As a huge Harbor Freight fan it makes me happy that Bauer kept up and although it gave out in the end, it was still able to perform up to 275pounds max. As a budget impact i think i made the right choice, now when its time for me to purchase a solid impact... Milwakee is on my priority list. The way it ejected water and continued to work while submerged into a tank of water was insane. That definitely caught us all by surprise!

Milwaukee makes a great tool. As an electrician, I go for Makita. On account of better trigger control at lower speeds. Whatever floats your boat
As somebody gearing up to buy his first entire set of mechanics tools, thank you for this series. It’s saving me a ton of money and letting me not feel like I’m making the wrong choice by getting the cheaper tool to save some cash!
I've always heard snap on for hand tools and Milwaukee for electric
Your comment was a while ago so you’ve probably found them already but Torque Test Channel is the absolute best resource for tool comparisons.
How do you feel about your choices after a year?
Man, I’ve seen a Milwaukee survive a 95 foot drop in my line of work and still fire up, I knew it would crush that overpriced snap on. That harbor freight one surprised me too though, not bad until it overheated lol!
i use to have craftsmans v20 set untill it did the same thing now all i got is milwaukee
I was at work a few weeks ago and one of the roofers dropped there m18 fuel impact driver off the roof and it fired right up. That one was probably only 40ft.
I honestly think that's a good feature to have in your impact. Cause most folks that work on cars have one or 2 impacts they can use
Same, but the overheating issue probably wouldn't be an issue for someone who isn't doing lag bolts all day. And if that's the case go up to the half inch?
I throw my dewalt off roofs all the time. The only thing it dont handle well is rain, it slows down and weakens, but once dry, its spinnin. My Milwaukee, RIP i lost it in a fire, it held up against anything and everything
I think the HF and Milwaukee deserve a spot in my tool box for different purposes. The HF can be a good impact to keep in your car for travelling like overlanding and roadtrips or for project car work. The Milwaukee can be used professionally for industrial work. The Snapon is just too expensive to justify for any use when the Milwaukee does a way better job and is more durable for less the cost.
Idk imo the cost of the HF (especially with the earthquake line) recently gets awfully close to a milwaukee without the warranty or battery quality
The m12 Stubby from Milwaukee is smaller and lighter than the M18 stubby just about as powerful (especially with the 6amp battery). It’s perfect for what your talking about and was recently on sale with a 3.0 battery for $150. I use mine in the garage as well as it comes with us in our camper.
Thats smart I might get an HF just to keep in my car, I never keep my milwaukee tools in my car in case it gets broken into It won't as much of a loss.
Snap on used to be really good. That's all I used. But then Milwaukee starting making great tools, so I haven't used snap on since.
I know where the HF deserves a spot...
If this is gonna be a new series im all for it

Based off all the Milwaukee chargers in the back of the shop, I can see what they actually use in the real world lol

@@Jonah.the.moist.noodle mine is starting to die, but it just needs the brushes replaced. Its a brushed model.
@@SHUTDOORproduction not everyone, some mechanic still swear by snap on. That's the only reason they're still alive. The contract those mechanics have with snap on.
@@UnfiItered i've gotta imagine most of those people that still swear by Snap-On are still using their 30 y/o Snap-On tools that they got back when Snap-On made good products.
I came here because I just changed the wheels of my car. Did it outside the garage under quite rainy conditions. I used a Milwaukee M18 Fuel impact. I placed that thing under shelter as soon I switched to the torque wrench or moved a wheel. I thought it is not waterproofed and I better be careful with the impact driver not beeing exposed to rain.
Now I cross checked my assumption with this wonderful video test. Conclusion: I was anxious without any reason. Given this hard facts I will use the Milwaukee M18 impact with less precaution regarding wet conditions next time. I feel comfortable and happy to have such a high quality tool.

Torque wrenches would be great for the next series. I'm always debating if its worth it to buy a very high end wrench or if the harbor freight ones do just fine.

It's honestly wild that the Milwaukee is THAT durable. I seen a video one time of a guy whose garage had burned down, but his milwaukee cordless ratchet was still sitting on a counter left standing and all melted and it still worked. Milwaukee is the shit

Lol this last week I had my Milwaukee m18 impact driver on my welding table and accidentally bumped it while grabbing something and was having a huge adhd issue and left my wire feed on and for some reason had the driver on top of the feed cable next to the trigger. Can you guess what happened, if you guessed that the driver depressed the trigger on the stupidly left on wire feed you would be correct lol well it was sitting arcing the side of the driver and the table for idk 1-2 seconds I was actually recording so I am going to upload it when I can find where it was. Anyways it was fine aside from a nasty burn on the shell lol. All of my tools are m18 fuel items aside from a little 12in 20v Dewalt chainsaw I use to clear smaller trees and limb trees with and my 16in compound sliding miter saw also Dewalt oh and my dad's old Dewalt 1/2in corded impact wrench and corded grinder my mom gave me. I would have gotten the m18 cordless miter saw but I got the Dewalt from a client who bought it to try making things but he couldn't get the plate and blade zeroed so he gave it to me for replacing his decking boards for him I told him it would probably only be 2 or 3 hours of work and he didn't mind because he bought it for replacing them anyways best 3 hours of work ever.
My boss always makes fun of my Milwaukee tools and after watching this i am once again confident about my tool decision lol

100% Agree i also have a milwaukee extended electric ratchet and it does an awesome job.
The best line of cordless without a doubt
Im personally a fan of Rigid. Great prices, and they were some of the first to include lifetime warranties on their tools
@@ChrisPBacon-gn9jx Ridgid is also owned by TTI, the parent company that also owns Milwaukee and Ryobi. They are a solid choice, but some of their cordless tools are definitely built according to the lower price.
Being able to drive into town and exchange it if it breaks or whatever. This and a small jump box or two of the best things you can buy..Not only just for yourself.Being able to help people jump their vechile or change a tire in a few mins.
As someone who works in heavy duty repairs, Milwaukees are always being replaced, snap-ons barely ever need to be repaired or replaced. There was one Milwaukee drill dropped today under 3 feet and it completed died.
This confirms my suspicion that Snap On tools are WAAAAY overpriced.
I've spent 4 years in diesel shops and pretty much anyone who had snapon electric tools ended up ditching them for milwaukee. I had a snapon impact for about a year and everything in the kit failed other than 1 of the batteries. Ended up costing close to a grand to buy and maintain. The only nice thing about snapon is that the tools come to you, that's it.
Snap on hand tools are awesome. Electric not so much. The 14.4 volt 3/8s is pretty nice but all their other electric tools suck💀
@@HughMongasWhat Snap doesnt have their tools made in USA any more. Some of their stuff is, but most of it is from china now
@@colecooper5836 snapon is only worth it for hand tools because of the lifetime warranty
@@HughMongasWhat snap on electric tools are all made in China except the electric ratchets. All their hand tools are made in USA
Milwaukee is no joke... It's all we use on the job site and it's never let us down through the rain, mud, dirt, sand, sewer, heat and cold! The batteries last ages and hold charge even after years of use and the power they output never disappoints!
I have been super happy with my Bauer and Hercules tools. My Hercules impact puts out 1400 pound feet of removing torque and 1000 pound feet of fastening. I have broke too many bolts to count with that thing. I tested the break away torque and it tested at 1430 pound feet or torque. It was a $200 impact with a $120 12ah battery, but for $320 total I'm really happy! The same company that makes Milwaukee also makes Bauer and Hercules.
If this doesn’t sell you on a Milwaukee impact, I don’t know what will haha
Im buying it fosho
We use them at work as a pipefitter all day. We got one on the job brand new some moron left it outside the case filled water and the tool was frozen solid. Thawed it out and it takes old flanges apart like they weren't even there. That sold me on getting one for the house
And this is the old model, new one is even better
@@DuBstep115 looks like I found my next upgrade for my tool box!
Hands down best power tools for mechanics not sure the rest of their line up but the impacts are perfect.. I mean they own the patent to a 18 volt lithium ion battery pack that's why DeWalt and everyone is going to 20V
I've always been a fan of Milwaukee's power tools, especially for working on motorcycles and cars. This just proves that the big red M is a beast!
It used to be blue, i miss those days of the white text and teal/blue
We use Milwaukee for my plumbing shop, and sometimes when you cut a pipe or work somewhere that’s got a leak and is full of water, you really do need your tools to perform when they’re wet or taking abuse. Milwaukee has held up every time. I’m continually impressed by how the just don’t give a shit about anything but continuing to work

Im a newbie in my trade. Never been a guy that worked well with tools before. Now that buying tools as an adult is like buying toys and games as a kid, I'm glad that I dont have to feel as guilty about slowly becoming a Milwaukee cultist. You really aren't just paying for the name and the superior color palette.
That is so surprisingly impressive! I had no idea Milwaukee tools were so good, I'm sold. Hope somebody sponsored this episode
Milwaukee has had the best power tools for the better part of 6 ish years now.
Milwaukee actually did go to crap for awhile but have been making huge improvements to the quality of their tools in the last 10 years. That said, anything can have problems or get worn out and broken.
Every shop uses Milwaukee nowadays they are just out doing everyone with there tech and new tools
Their Fuel series are some of the best tools tested. There are so many comparison videos with other brands for the same or more money and Milwaukee seems to always take the cake.

I had no idea that Milwaukee impact can just clear out water like that. That is INSANELY impressive.
@@OliverGS-ib8dk I'm pretty sure the design wasn't for water but to extract the hot air from the motor. That's just a secondary feature.

@@OliverGS-ib8dk It is because the milwuakee impact has a brushless motor make it bascially immune to water damage
Exactly what i expected. Ran a few shops in my day and at some point my techs would always ditch their power tools from snap on for Milwaukee or dewalt . Best bang for your buck
We work sand and gravel pits, liner changes, screens and pulling big electric motors, dewalt and Milwaukee cordless out pace and torque the big pneumatic 100% of the time. There is a reason they are too dog in the cordless market, the half Bach drive impacts In both brands are absolute beasts

Im not surprised at all. The first time i got the opportunity to test Milwaukee, it just blown my mind. Directly when you hold the Milwaukee, you really can feel that it's just pure quality. We have the M18 series at work but i don't need that performance so using the M12 series at home and boy, it's perfect. Love the smaller size. Then we have the huge amount of different Milwaukee tools that all using the same battery. Have been trying both DeWalt, Makita, AEG, Ryobi and Hikoki. They work but it not the same quality and stability that Milwaukee provides 👍
As Canadian who changes tires (winter tyres) every year twice on 3 cars. I would say getting a impact wrench is the single best thing I have bought.

This is a great test! But remember when you buy cordless tools you're also buying into the platform. The Milwaukee tools line up dwarfs Bauer and Snap On. Milwaukee is also much more widely available.
home depot is the golden spot for milwaukee
Very true
Yeah that's one reason I never bought any bauer battery tools. They have some nice plug-in tools tho. I love my big belt sander and my rotary hammer. Their demolition hammer and jackhammer look pretty nice too, but none of that is really car related
For cordless systems I would say - Milwaukee, Makita, and Dewalt are clear kings and you cannot go wrong with any of those. Hilti, Festool and (maybe) Snap-On could be considered by bigger companies that specialize in specific area because of longevity and service... then again one could buy whole set of Makitas for the price of one Snap-On tool
@@sorrywrongnumber5280 It's really impressive how much Harbor Freight's quality has improved in the last 10 years. Though it can be pretty hit or miss But for cordless tools on a budget I always recommend Ryobi. IMO they're the best value with a huge catalog for DIY.
I've had my Sawzall and drills for 5 years, those things have endured all kinds of torture from my apprentice burying one of em to dropping it off a scissor lift they do not care. Those tools are beasts.
i never thought i would enjoy grown men waterboarding a tool as much as i did. that was absolutely hilarious guys.
Tea Bagged it
Between personal experiences and AvE videos i knew which one would win😂 my fathers a carpenter and has the same XC5.0 batteries that he got when he started making the switch from Makita 7 or so years ago, they still work perfectly. Ive seen a ton of mechanics say they’ll never use anything but Milwaukee and all my tools now and in the future are and will be Milwaukee
I primarily only use Milwaukee, I do however have 3 snap on cordless ratchets, and 1 Milwaukee. The Milwaukee has a bit more power, but other than that I like the snap on ones better, but they cost more than double the price.
If Hi-Lo and Money Pit had a baby, it would be Tool Party. I freakin love this series, thank you for doing this. Gonna be clutch as I build and upgrade my toolbox.
Great show! However, the timing test for removing a lug nut requires additional tests for each tool. Maybe 1 wheel per tool to get an accurate reading and remove variability.
This is what was missing, Hi-Low(but tools, and other random stuff)
This is exactly why I'm slowly converting my toolbox over to a full Milwaukee catalog!
fr. snap on is great but for the price and performance milwaukee seems like the way to go. I will say for a tire gun the matco 1/2" fuckn rips probably strongest out there. Anyway milwaukee is killin it. I hope they don't go the craftsman route/get bought at and go full crap.
@@kea1234 its amazing they are even still trying to "compete" double the price and it doesn't perform as good lol
We need these test over online reviews to see how they perform in the real world scenario, so far out of all of them Milwaukee performed the best
Their 90 degree hammer drill is garbage....or at least the one i have is. My coworkers have bosch and dewalt and theirs dont stall out near as easy when we hit rebar. They have the straight style though so maybe that has something to do with it and the 90 degree ones just arent as strong.
@@PureSPLprix Never tested Milwaukee because South America but I did tried DeWalt and used Bosch and they're top tier so I guess there's no comparison point. My brother worked with a German (not Chinese) Bosch hammer drill for +15 years and stall outs were rare. That said if you can get your hands on a Metabo don't hesitate, it's the best you can get both on power and reliability.
Dude testing all Harbor Freight tools against higher level tools would be such a helpful ad entertaining series

This is a very reasonable point
Look at the big brains on brad!
@@SpaceMissile The metric system 😂😂😂
That's a good point
Milwaukees are a bit harder to take apart but usually impacts are meant to be able to take apart for servicing.

Hey man I have been doing construction my whole life I have always been a Milwaukee fan for everything but I’m going to admit dewalt skillsaw is 100% better. It has so much how power. And miter cuts the Milwaukee barley how the power.

@@Kradle hi Kradle. How are you today?
As an owner of that Bauer, I think it's an amazing value - none of us ever believed the label did we? 😜 But the Milwaukee... I think I may seeing more of you in my toolbox...
Me too
I've personally tested many tools from many different brands. Milwaukee always ends up being the best in power tools .As for power tools I use Milwaukee and hand tools I use USA Craftsman. Never have an issue with either. Craftsman offers a lifetime guarantee on their hand tools, so if they ever break on you they will replace them. so far I haven't had to use that guarantee. i used to be cheap when it came to tools. id buy all of the harbor freight wrenches, sockets, ratchets, torque wrenches, and power tools. there was always the issue of tools breaking, snapping , catching fire or just being defective out the box. so I have a buddy that let me use his quality tool set and I was astounded at how much easier the whole experience was. From then on i phased out the harbor freight tools with quality sets , and so far don't regret forking out the extra bucks.
Milwaukee is brushless and bauer isn’t that’s why the brushless did better in water
I've drop a Milwaukee impact I would say three stories high from a sky lift and snapped the handle right in the middle, wrapped it up with tape and it still had the power and torque like if it never broke... I would definitely invest into their products and stocks. Truly amazing
I live in an apartment, don't currently own a car, and literally have just the most basic hand tool box but I still found this fascinating to watch haha, great stuff~

I’m literally in the process of deciding which I want out of the Milwaukee vs. the Bauer. Thank you for making my decision easy. ✌️
Yeah, no question which one is better 🤣🤣
I do construction in the pacific northwest and we all switched to Milwaukee a year ago. I'd definitely recommend all of their fuel line tools. Even compared to hilti the Milwaukees hold up better. I've run my hammer drill completely underwater and it still chuggs along.
I rebuilt powers years ago, I will always choose Milwaukee, all their power tools are very solid.
If you're not doing real hard work all day or seeing a ton of abuse, the regular Milwaukee line will be fine, the Fuel line is a beast though. For home I have the regular line but for work it's Fuel.
@@digitalcitizen4533 100% back Milwaukee. Get the mid torque and not the stubby they used here.
The mid torque has more break away torque and is $10-$20 more. Well worth the money.
Milwaukee all day everyday.
Should up grade the Milwaukee “fuel” battery to the “high output” to maximize the power of the tool.
Fuel isn't a battery.. its miluakees brushless tools..
CP's are like the entry level. XC's are the intermediate (most people that do a lot of work with them) batteries with extended capacity and the HD's are the more commercial service batteries. Contractors usually buy that kind of stuff.
@@darrenmartin307 that’s true but the fuel tools maximize the tool max output with batteries through tech Embedded inside
The 3.0 high out put compact battery is my go-to, even for my chonky boi 1/2 high torque fuel gun. It doesn’t last long but that’s why I have 3 other 3.0 HO batteries, I hardly touch the XC5.0s, XC8.0/6.0s and my 12.0 only sees the M18 chainsaw.
Bought a milwaukee impact 10 years ago and that thing is still running strong. It has the same batteries that we got when we bought it and no matter what the occasion it has always pulled through. Honestly it was the best purchase ever.
As a hobbyist/ handyman just doing work around my house, my ryobi tools have done me well.
If I was doing it for a living though, Milwaukee hands down
LOVING the new series so far, the pilot was clean!
Great seeing Zack and Jeremiah together. It would be awesome if they hosted Money Pit season 3 as well - extremely fun guys with great on screen chemistry
Over the last 4 years I've been switching over to the M18 Fuel line as my old tools crap out. Gotta say I have yet to be disappointed, Milwaukee seems to have their game on point right now.
I used to clean the transmission fluid out of my 1/4 inch Milwaukee by dunking it in brake clean. That was 5 years ago and I still use it to this day. Love Milwaukee Tools!!
Great stuff guys! People need more transparency when it comes to power tools ESPECIALLY impact wrenches with their unicorn ratings. Bring em on!
@Jim jibroni
There are many tool reviewers out there but none on the level of TTC.
Except the water dunking part was moneyyyy
@Jim jibroni Not at all. The more the merrier. The water dunking was great, and other fun entertaining stuff we dont touch on either. The world needs much more than TTC to bring light to all this stuff.
Few extra tools to add to the list: Angle Grinder, Reciprocating Saw, Portable Air Compressor
Angle grinder
Brings a smile to my face knowing I went with Milwaukee all those years ago
As a heavy duty mechanic I'd love to see some heavy duty tools! Like impact sockets, chain wrenches, pry bars, Punches, multimeters, etc
I'm so happy that the Milwaukee is the impact wrench I have.
Just a side note, the warranty on milwaukee is supposedly as good as snap on, I wouldn't know though, because much like the results here, mine is still going strong, and their batteries are not that bad since Home Depot runs some pretty epic sales on them fairly often.
You need to register your Milwaukee tools for the warranty
Milwaukee warranty is far superior to snap-on.
This video really made me choose what company I am going with when I get an impact for my job. Thx guys! Love the content!
I don’t have a whole lot of experience with mechanic power tools but Milwaukee is still my favorite. Their power drills are super nice too
I picked Milwaukee because I'm not a professional and they are known to have the best protective electronics setup built in with the purpose of stopping people from damaging them. They'll keep you from breaking your own tools and the battery test didn't surprise me because I saw a previous battery test that showed very little torque loss , if any at all, until the battery had used 90% of it's power. That guy hooked it up to some kind of computer to measure torque output over time.
I need to admit I am shocked the Snap-On was second. Let’s think about this. For almost 3 times the price we’d expect it to have won 🥇 out in some of these tests. Maybe it’s all in the name?
Snap on makes better hand tools than electric ones in my opinion
@@davidphan5843 Hand tools are definately Snap Ons area, Milwaukee just kills it with the power tools. Thats all i use at work 🤘🏻
💯 the name, of course they make quality tools but they have to pay independent distributors and are “american made” so they charge these ridiculous prices because techs are silly enough to think the tools they go into debt for are better than any other tool with a good lifetime warranty
Let me put it this way, Snap-On is Gucci for mechanics! You're paying for the name!
name not quality
I love seeing harbor freight tools doing pretty decent when compared to the big names. One of my bosses is a harbor freight tool nut, and he was saying that Hercules is better than Bauer and is supposed to be a competitor to Dewalt
They just don't last as long they work damn near as well for the first yr
And at 1/3 the price…does that (totally badass, but) Milwaukee last 3x as long? I don’t use tools enough to justify more than harbor freight. I buy good wrenches etc so they don’t rust as much/quickly, but.
@@joel387ktm H.F does offer that lifetime warranty. You could just beat the crap out of it and replace it.
@@TheBigbaby407 i think that was the part that needed to be considered in the video more, even if you break it three times in the life of the snapon u still only spent 120 lmao
@@TheBigbaby407 not for power tools only hand tools but yea if you doing something sketchy with a breaker bar or something like cheaters or hammering the bar I'm grabbing the h.f. first cause if it break that's ok
Project farm x Donut I love collabs
"This thing doesn't give a shit about anything!" is the most positive review for a tool
I love how Jerry looked like he was waiting to get yelled at for dropping the tools 🤣🤣
Now do a collab with Project Farm! He does these types of tests on all kinds of tools and products and is insanely detailed about his testing.
Right. I could only imagine what they could do to that rv....
@Jim jibroni Same with Project Farm. Which is why I suggested a collab...
I love this new show. I'd like to see an episode about torque wrenches. Maybe comparing click drive, digital, beam, and a torque adapter you can just add on to a normal socket drive?
Just snagged one of these and I’m not at all surprised by this video, the Milwaukee compact is by far the best impact I’ve ever owned
I can already see this is gonna be up there in my top 3 with hi low and money pit. Jobe’s face when the Milwaukee came out the water still running…😂
Love the energy, commentary, editing, and setup of this vid, great series. Jerry and Jobe are great
