If your test didnt compare the same size Amp/hr battery in each brand, you basically compared apples to oranges.

You also need to include Ridgid Drills into this competition. Ridgid is currently the only manufacture that offers a lifetime service agreement on their tools which also includes free batteries for the life of the tool when it is properly registered.

You were comparing apples and oranges. If you are going to compare these 18v drills, you need to make sure that all of them have the same amp hour batteries installed. A higher amp hour battery will provide a higher amount of juice for a longer period of time.

Hi Roger,
Great information my friend, thanks for posting!

I use Makita and Milwaukee cordless tools and they have both been excellent. I've had no issues with the Makita batteries. They really do last a long time.
-
you are testing the battery mate, at least have the same amp battery in
-
What do you make of Ryobi One combi drills?
-
I wish I could give you 10 likes or more !!! Thank you!!!

hey in the pic in before the video starts you have a m12 fuel lol I know it doesnt matter

I just bought the 459 and the batteries do have the fuel thingie 👍🏻

Very interesting. I had a brushed Makita 18V drill DDF456, not combidrilll. Battery also 3.0 Ah. Drilling a 40mm hole in wood was never a problem on one battery. And another time I had to drill about 30 or 40 24mm holes - one 3.0 Ah battery lasted for about 5-6 holes and while drilling the other battery would fully charge. One issue I had was that the chuck was somehow badly made - bits would not hold in there long no matter how strong I tightened it. And yes, it doesn't have a battery gauge which is annoying sometimes.

SB--I'm a property manager and do minor repairs with ocasional larger repairs. I need a whole new Compact system. What system would you recommend? I was thinking of going non-brushless to save money.
Home depot will have a lot of black friday deals so I want to go with a system and stick with it. I'm debating-- Rigid, Milwaukee, and Makita. What are they known for and how do they rate-- quality, durability, and cost?
If you had to start with a completely new 18v system what would you go with in my situ?
Anyone else' opinion is also welcome -
I have a Bosch and was well happy with it.i now have a makita 4.0ah with battery gauge which doubles up for my 36v hammer action.its da bomb.....
-
Ridgid?

Would also like to see some more quality brands available in Europe. Metabo, Kress, Hilti, Fein etc. :-)
