This cannot be said enough: Your test rigs are absolutely incredible! They must take a ton of time and creativity, yet they always come out perfectly, and it's what makes this channel so uniquely useful. Well, that and about 500 other things :).

Best tool boxes? Maybe you can do a video ranking every single tool type from your testing. Like all in one video, a list ranking drills, saws, sanders. Everything so a new person can just get a nice recommendation

It's also important to acknowledge that tool companies have a financial incentive to improve battery powered tools and make them more feature rich than corded. They make a lot more money on batteries than the actual tools.

I own both corded and cordless tools and enjoy both. The big plus of the corded tools is twenty years from now they still work fine and I don’t have to worry about battery issues. That said I often use my cordless tools for ease of use, no cord.

Idk if people realise how much preparation and how long it took you to record this and get all the information you gathered but I am very impressed! Keep up the good work

Being in new construction as an electrician, battery powered hand tools are a must. Everyone has an opinion on what brand and type of tools are the best. I’m always glad to know that someone is putting these opinions to the test in a fair, accurate and unbiased manner. This has got to be one of the best channels on YT for tradesmen. Great job as usual.

You will always go far with honest scientific testing. This channel is pure gold for the consumer.

[dingledingle]

I base all of my tool buying decisions off of your videos. Seriously the most useful channel on YouTube.

[chrisa]

I personally feel like corded power tools don’t get the same love when it comes to R&D anymore.

[AJ-lnsm]

It seems like the manufacturers have put more effort into improving the cordless tools than the old technology corded ones. Good video!

[gora]

This generation and perhaps the next couple generations owes you a lot. You are a beacon. You are what Dept. of Consumer Affairs should have been in the first place.Take a bow. 🙏🙏🙏

Would love to see different wire connector tests (wago 221’s, traditional wire nuts, etc.) Thank you for such thorough reviews! Keep up the great work.

[MarksTech]

the amount of work this guy goes through is mind-blowing. to be honest, I dont even care about power tools but I still stayed and watched the entire video lmao. its always interesting. thanks!

[peterallen]

The big test for me on most of these tools is how they will compare in 10 years. The cordless will be near useless unless I get a replacement battery, and that assumes that they haven't moved on to a different style of battery by then. The corded one will still work.

I have watched many of your in depth reviews of products over the years and they are great.
I am only disappointed that you don't have your own review channel on TV, they are that entertaining.

[buidelrat]

If you ever have a garage sale for your old equipment I'd definitely be there 😉 Your tool collection must be massive by now! Thanks for all the tests! 💚

[deletdis]

Every Sunday morning before Todd posts a new video, I find myself watching his old ones to pass the time.

[tiredoldmechanic]

Todd has figured out the perfect way to acquire all of the tools without having to justify it to his wife.

[lanedexter]

Wow, thought provoking comparisons! Thanks. My cordless 7-1/4” saw can’t match the power of the worm drive I bought in 1977, but it’s easier to carry and very handy when there’s no power nearby. Both types of drill motors have their uses. “Obsolete” older corded drill motors are cheap, and very handy for wire wheels, flap wheels, etc. The cordless spends more time driving screws and even mixing paint than it does drilling holes. I have corded tools from the 60’s, the 70’s and the 80’s. I wonder if any of my cordless tools will last 50 years.🙄

I have a new appreciation for your channel due to the [NO SPONSOR] production. Most all channels are choosing to give their own infomercial for 2 to 5 min. during the video post. Bad enough that YouTube runs additional adds. A+
