Ryobi Brushless vs Milwaukee Gen 3 impact driver!!!!

Episode # 67

Now this is one of my older videos, so keep that in mind when watching it. In my Novice mind I thought that was a good test to film, as I had not done very many comparison video's yet.
In this video I take the at the time new Ryobi 18V 3 speed impact driver and sink in a few different size of screws and fasteners. Then I do the same with the Milwaukee Gen #3 impact driver.

Ryobi are great value for the money will get the job done. Thank for sharing

I like the way you fumble around with the bits, makes it seem more how the everyday user will use these. Keep the videos coming!

i have been using the same ryboi tools for 14 years, so i recently purchased all brushless gear and passed most of my gear down line. I am the admin of a milwaukee group, i would be swimming with the fishes if i were caught. lol

For what its worth....I'm a big Ryobi fan....they have a huge range of tools...that having been said...Milwaukee claims to be the best or at least close to it....Ryobi does not....in fact Ryobi claims to be more for the homeowner type...all that being said I think the Ryobi did just fine in the comparison....

I'm a contractor and have been using Ryobi cordless tools for over 15 years. They work great for what they cost. I'm sure the Milwaukee in this test is slightly better, mainly due to the compact size but i'm not going to buy one when i already have a boatload of Ryobi batteries and my tools get the job done just fine.

I have a very extensive collection of ryobi, brushless and brushed, m12 fuel and M18 fuel. I am a commercial general contractor by trade.

Ryobi really works and you can be a pro with it too. I've seen it many many times.

However, the weight of ryobi is the only and main reason, why I grab my milwaukee stuff more often.

The 18650 cells inside both of those drivers should be identical. I believe Milwaukee and Ryobi both use Canadian made E-One Moli cells. Dewalt batteries use A123 Iron Phosphate cells. Less energy dense than the Moli cells but more thermally stable and can be discharged to a much lower level than Moli cells. It's a wonderful time in the history of cordless power tools when you can buy from just about any brand you like and feel confident that your tool has a damn good battery.

I see that it´s a recent test (Jan. 19), why don´t you compare the Milwaukee against the Ryobi Quietstrike R18QS, the newest model?

[liamconner]

Good video most people just screw in 1 bolt or screw. I like the way you did it.

[DanielGomez-cfvk]

I have the gen 2 Milwaukee fuel brushless and love it but with my ryobi gen1 brushless 3 speed impact with the HP batteries and 4000ipm it’s a monster too great video

[markevans]

You are right about saying heat. There is no such thing as cold just lack of heat. Good video.

What would be a great impact drill for removing lug nuts and basic auto repairs?

[mikegreen]

I’d like to have seen you test the Milwaukee surge impact since you were doing a “decibel” test. How would that compare against the regular mill impact and the ryobi?

[loktom]

It would be nice if you can compare brushless Ryobi vs the very affordable non Fuel Milwaukee drill and drivers.

[rlewis]

I use ryobi because of all the extra tools use can use with the batteries I think they are just fine

[TheTruthSeeker]

I would say actually that is a pretty accurate test. So if you’re a heavy user you would go with the Milwaukee and an occasional user go with the Ryobi because it’s cheaper

[PinheadLarry]

Ryobi is far more practical for the average user being they have so many other everyday tools that can be used with the same battery. I have a handheld vacuum, full size Ryobi house vacuum, soldering iron, rotary tool, etc. those are some of the tools that I haven’t seen competitors also make those tools where their standard driver battery works with it. A couple other items I wish Ryobi made was an iron for clothes and a hand mixer for cooking.

I also recently bought their 110v power inverter/powerbank attachment. It is great to be able to juice up a laptop when you need to or even just to keep on hand for emergencies.

I’ve ranted for a bit. But the reason I choose Ryobi is I can use their batteries for dozens of other useful tools. Other competitors don’t have nearly the same backwards compatibility or even variety of tools on the same battery form factor. Ryobi is best for the average home owner who just use tools every now and then for small jobs. For professionals it is obviously better to invest in the best tool for the job even if it isn’t as convenient.

[Guardducks]

Nice job! A very honest and fair test. Ps the chuck on the ryobi they are all like that.

Keep the videos coming. I recently acquired my 1st set of Ryobi tools for home. The brushless impact driver and hammer drill. Excellent value for these tools. They aren’t as powerful as my Milwaukee Gen3 impact driver and hammer drill but they have more then enough power for anything you throw at them. They are an excellent value for the performance. I would recommend these to any home owner who is a DIY’er. No doubt if you where in a budget these would be excellent tools for someone in the trades. They have a whole line of unique tools on there platform. I’ve been very impressed.

Hi 😊 What about the p239 and what about using drills in bricks with impact driver?.. is it effective?
