Impact Driver Head 2 Head

Be surprised in this head 2 head between; Milwaukee M12, MasterForce, Metabo, and Milwaukee M18.

The first test is more dependent on how fast you place the screws into the bits. If you cut the footage to just the drilling we'll get an idea of how quickly the drills drive.

Menards master force is good. I have their brushless version and they are good (menards calls it their dewalt) and to me work great.

An M12 Fuel is faster than an M18 brushed, an M18 compact brushless is faster than an M12 Fuel, and the M18 Fuel and Flex are the fastest. However, my M12 fuel feels like it's made out of more expensive materials than my dad's Ryobi. PA6GF30 which is used in premium brand tools including Dewalt, Milwaukee, Flex, Makita, and Metabo HPT is a very hard but, ductile plastic.

I got the masterforce impact drill combo brushless max. The impact was huge for a 1/4 but the ring light was awesome. It had plenty of power also but the drill came messed up. Wouldn't go all the eay into 2 setting and sounded stripped out when you tryed to force it in. Returned and bought dewalt impact and drill combo. The 809 impact is way lighter and smaller. Seems like a little less power but seemed way easier to get the screws started with it over the masterforce. Once it starts impacting though the masterforce def had more power. Still sends 2in screws in instantly with both. The dewalt is alot better made plastics wise and the forward and reverse switch seems less cheap. Less modes on the dewalt though it doesn't had a 1 2 and 3 setting like the masterforce. Glad I switched over I've never had a bad tool so was an instant turn off for me towards masterforce unfortunately. Happy that I cut down on bag size and tool weight by almost 50 percent and still have a powerful setup.

What does the masterforce feel like compared to the better brands? Like a pro tool or home garage tool?

lol did you not have the audio on for the other 3 tools or is the Milwaukee just THAT loud? Also i have the same Masterforce impact Driver but the brushless version. I've had it for about 7yrs and it's held up extremely well, especially since about 3 or 4 months after I bought it I decided to take it apart to see what the insides looked like. I also have the regular cordless drill and the cordless weed wacker. I used to work at Menards so it was an obvious choice for them. Also while working at menards I ran a little experiment because I'm a destructive SOB and i poured about half a bottle of super glue into the vents of one of the same brushed impact drivers where the fan is and it still worked for about a month granted it smelled like burning super glue the entire time. Eventually it started smelling really burnt and while I was using it during our store remodel it started smoking and died, but it got a ton of use with the super glue in it during that remodel. I was actually able to take it apart and scrap all the burnt superglue off the brushes, put it back together and it ran at about 1/4 of the speed lol (I ended up throwing it away though).
