    Do the pencil sized ones next please
  • I work at Harbor Freight. We talk about you all the time. All good stuff...lol.
  • @stevenpope
    You are the absolute gold standard for product recommendations to potential customers of these tools, and I can’t imagine how much sponsored/promotional money you turn down in order to keep bias out. Absolute legend!

    Just a tip for people looking into these, This type of screwdriver are more so designed for machinery and electrical applications more so then drilling screws into wood. You don't necessarily want the highest torque for delicate things like screwing bolts back into old electronic plastic housings. I was a printer/copier repair tech and now work on lab equipment, I have used the Worx screwdriver for years without any real issues and have taken apart and put back together dozens of computers, printers, and copiers with that screwdriver. I find that size, a lighter weight, and ergonomics are more important for my use case then strength. I also found the bit switching mechanism on the Worx to be really nifty and it has come in handy many times. Excellent review as always!

    one day in the assembly shop, i had an electrician ask me if i had a cordless screwdriver. i replied, "yeah all my screwdrivers are cordless, i even have a cordless hammer" and this might be the funniest thing i ever said at work

    These are probably the most utilitarian and worthwhile videos that exist on youtube. Thank you for your dedication to science, and to being concise. You've given back to humanity more than you know with your channel :)
  • @Tsuchinoko
    Since I discovered this channel I got in love with Milwaukee brand. Even though it never came to my country, it's impressive the consistency they have in every test. I also like Makita a lot, but proved itself to be very inconsistent, with some products being very good, and others below average, as it was shown in this video. Keep up with the quality content!
  • @clmagnet
    I've had that exact Milwaukee screwdriver for nearly a decade with the original batteries. What a workhorse!
  • @Dommy_Doo
    I have that same exact milwaukee screw driver, came as a free offer in a electric ratchet kit i bought. Its not something i wouldve normally bought but figured it's nice to get it for free. It has become one of my favorite tools in my whole lineup now. Love that thing
  • @Chris_Toney
    I really appreciate your reviews! Thank you very much. I've bought several of the products that you've recommended. You've made a positive impact on my life for sure! Looking forward to more.
  • @bstrickler
    I'm a locksmith, and run the Dewalt Gyroscopic with adjustable clutch, and absolutely love it. It is more than powerful enough for 99% of what I do.
  • @chrismelton9334
    Your garage sales are probably the best... massive in size, tons of tools for sale, and plenty of options. I don't imagine you keep everything that survives your testing. You would need multiple shops after all the years I've been watching you do these comparisons. I gotta tell you, even after the 5 years I have been watching you, I never get tired of your content. Keep up the great work.
  • @psychosk8er
    Measuring the RPM on the 5 minute torture test would have been a nice stat to add in. I love the work you do! Keep it up!
  • @joshlindsay2639
    Great test once again. I purchased the Milwaukee about a year ago and it has been awesome. Easily one of my favorite tools.
  • Another great video, please dont ever change your format. I love that your videos are straightforward and to the point with no unnecessary music, animations, or small talk.
  • @silasludlam2110
    I have the milwaukee, and I use it daily in an auto shop. I got it black Friday for $59 with a battery, charger and soft case. Very impressive driver. It has a quick chuck that works awesome. It's been 3 months now of hard use and I haven't killed a battery in less then 3 days of work. Thanks for the video and keep up the good content. Much respect from northern NY
  • @earthtaurus5515
    Quality content as usual, extremely useful and informative for both DIY and professionals.
  • @killrroyale
    I have owned the Milwaukee for over 2 years now I use it at least 2 times a week from everything from door installations to working on my RC's. I would 100% recommend it.
