What happens here

This project rigorously compares several cordless drills from different brands (Drill Master, Bauer, Hercules, DeWalt, Ridgid) through a series of practical tests. It covers unboxing, reviewing specifications, performance testing by drilling into layered wood, and extreme durability tests like head-to-head motor stalls and drop tests from varying heights. The goal is to evaluate which drill performs best in power, ergonomics, and resilience, providing insights for DIY enthusiasts.

[Music] we're two fighting what's up you guys welcome to the channel today we are enlightened by Stanley to dark monkey hey Steven Spielberg himself so hopefully we're okay with film in uh with you today so Stanley came to town we wanted to do something super exciting what could we do with Stanley that to say they've got to tell this stuff playing we're gonna throw him in a river all kinds of stuff but we're like you know what let's go what jewel do you think we're just got to talk about drills and I'm like what do you think would be the Bob and he's like I don't know man and then he started thinking about it I called Eric what Jill do you think he's like to walk like the wall do they know that's not his number one brand that's not what you're what I think and I thought you know well the Bauer but so what we're gonna do now is we're gonna go to harbor freight and we're gonna go to Home Depot we're gonna pick out our drills we're gonna have a crazy non-scientific tool fight just for fun just for fun how many monkeys are there there's grease monkey gas monkey dirt monkey dan is going with Milwaukee dan thinks Milwaukee and barks - Dan's obviously a fan of the red would be like the drop tested he dropped from a house I think Milwaukee probably won't actually break I think Bridget will so when you say break we talked about the housing housing the housing the health care because I've heard people complain about that I'm sure they dropped it when they do return it they don't tell me they dropped it but oh look the bottom is correct the battery doesn't slide in anymore he probably dropped it maybe have dropped it it was a spontaneously crash didn't just spontaneously cracks okay you know oh cars Milwaukee you don't really see that as much all right so we do we burn these up first and then drop them to see when the housing cracks like how high up you can go before the housing cracks because one's gonna be yeah you know make the last thing the break test I'd be really cool well we're gonna try to burn one up by sucking them together yeah guys guys tell me in the comments down below tell me honestly do you guys love it when people walk through you first yeah it just doesn't have much to it there's I did for her [Laughter] let's talk about some stats so we got the butter let's start with the least right okay so these drillmaster this one right here the man is the master of drills so this one yeah it's got a variable speed 900 rpm 21 torque settings 18 volt 3 2 3 2 5 hour charge time I don't see where the you see where the what what's the torque on it now is it not yet to also right or is it you is it lefty my I am alright it's $20 drill is 20 bucks $20 right there next - you want to go with the Hercules no actually the next cheaper one would be the Bauer 69 yeah go so $69 you guys I picked the Bauer I don't know why I like the group of the Bauer I just like everything class our quick story on the Bauer we were at her before I was at Harbor Freight and I some kid you know I started talking to him and he said that hey you know you think you think you're in those pro two of you guys loves adding stuff Vinnie's got a cutout all right he was playing like a jigsaw and a Jill his mom was with him and she's like oh he's saved about summer and mowing lawns or stuff to get this stuff and he was just so excited to be to create with this tool so um you know I love to abash Bauer Harbor Freight whatever but it has its place and honestly suits for the money this thing's good plus they have this crazy warranty thing and we'll talk about it so the only ways I was talking there sorry yeah that's the one I paid ok so the next cheapest one the one that I picked out I can send this is they actually the best one that Harbor Freight sells because I asked them just to give me the best one they sell that would be this one now the couple stats that honestly I don't care about some of you guys made but this one supposedly has three times three times longer run time which i meanwhat than one that's the thing just nineteen seventies thank you yeah so you know and to me that doesn't really make that much of a difference cuz you always keep one even though is it brushless it is a two and a half amp hour 20 volt and I don't see where I didn't talk about the Barrett Buster's I don't think the Bowers muster none of these are broad with iam drill driver so great question that I can't answer now let's brushless them is it how do you know with a motor you can see the motor spin yeah it's brushless is that brush little that's now this is akin to the motor yeah that's a can motor in there so wow this is brushless that's funny they don't say that on there she doesn't say it anywhere around here alright next I just want the DeWalt no reason why I guess Harbor Freight they picked those ones and there was nothing left so again I'm not really here in Milwaukee there was not Harbor Freight oh they went home people I have no idea why I picked the wall just wanted to and a lot of guys have my look up so much Wow Bosh's good any news ever Gordon walkie I mean any other Makita okay look ma is heaven just picked the wall no line very good question man now one thing to know don't let him to check on that that's a jinx job shark yeah that's a Jacob shucks that thing's pretty cool Stanley you want to tell him about the we'll talk later um and you pick the Ridgid again I pick rigid for my favorite from Home Depot right so favorite from Harbor Freight this is brushless 18 volts it's just gonna came with two batteries $169 I believe was it yeah so in price point we're talking this was tucked away it was expensive it's under 200 169 how much was your her that I am 1999 69 and 20 $20 dollar so if this thing beats this we got problems I doubt it honestly so let's do a quick rundown the chores we're gonna test we're gonna try you guys we're not doing runtime test cuz there's all different kinds of batteries result different kinds of you know and if you're in the rigid platform chances are you're gonna have more rigid boundaries you know so we're not gonna do that what we're gonna do is talk about ergonomics we're gonna talk about we're gonna drill some holes with helping of a drill bit and a half speed inch and a half spade we're gonna drill that through and then just see how they go through and then we're going to we gotta head to head him head to head them and then we're also gonna do a drop test to see how high up before the the housings grab yeah so yeah so the head to head will be first so ones that have protection in them are gonna probably survive longer than ones that do not but that's about it so well let's get to Dan with his mouth open all right first up unboxing the grill master it's kind of a piece of crap yeah it just doesn't have much to it so I gotta get this thing charged up come on that's it let's let's go to be hit let's go see if it charges up okay that's it all right let's check out the next one Wow all right you know get a case for 20 bucks but for $169 you do and you get a bit holy crap that's actually kind of nice all right so you get two batteries with this rigid okay that's actually pretty nice Wow slides in okay let's go charge this one up let's do a few looks let's crack this one open let's see what we got for what was this one ninety bucks ninety bucks we just cracked open the rigid for 169 so hurt you so the rigid came with it two batteries what size were those do you remember oh well there's one in it 18 bulbs so this is a 20 volt that's an 18 volt and 2 amp power and power doesn't matter it's the volts that matter for the amps is you how long your battery's gonna last yeah mmm just feels good I think the rigid feels a little better yeah it really definitely feels better if you put put your hands on balls once we have better quality in the what he's going on really honestly I don't know I like this one okay close your eyes close your eyes okay you don't know what's in one hand now just hold your hands out no other way like yep yeah I don't know I like this one all right I got that this is bad okay stop stop keep them closed five one and a half inch bit and what we're just gonna do is just go through it let's have Dan run his drill no I don't want this drill I want to this is like I'm gonna go on speed 1 all right so you just went speed one that's just two - okay so it didn't have any problems alright okay speed one [Music] ah that will torque right out yeah yeah I'm gonna try that all right that is pretty awesome all right you got a big knot right there yeah I mean what's afraid to put it on - haha that almost torque side of your hands actually yeah that heads not always to surgery I need dollars for that one $89 are you betting a doll Rodman alright so I'm gonna I'm gonna give this one a go in the original hole ready something on there do the same thing that happened with me it doesn't just nothing so I mean it's not bad it's not bad but it's not like this [Music] do that one shot what do you think I think it's smooth as heck it's just nice alright yeah you can just just like do this over here oh yeah you want a little leverage side yeah all right smooth but not as torquey as a hurt already alright default it up like they make good stuff so we're going Chuck - Chuck protection three one two three one so you let knife okay ready one two three why they spin over like that's weird one two three yeah I have no clue that Wrangler sir I was able to hold them by himself pretty cheap job plus I think no he'd have never really weakened now did he did Milwaukee versus DeWolfe dude that's why I told you did I I just told you guys a man we should put a little rack that holds the battery so how'd you do is slide them in so they can't do that and I was you're doing is pulling the triggers yeah but let's just do it again no silly it's fun this way dude yeah cuz think about it someone might get hurt yeah one two three because yeah it almost sounds like I don't hear any clicking now I let go okay and you let go so nothing happened something it's got a show it's out here do it you do it again one two three okay now let go your trigger I'm at one I'm gonna keep mine on you keep yours on okay so that overload is our time yeah but torque now wants to reverse it again one two three I'll let go of mine ready yep off so yours has got to shut down too because then it would have power still right yeah vice versa yeah it's got a shutting we'll just slow down just show them no and that's probably what those two protected brochures more yep what do you want to hook up no to this one are those to read verse yellow okay great one two [Music] where they go in the same direction I mean my sword is used forward no there's no your head open on reverse right yeah yours is on the burbs house forward give it a shot one two three overload one two it's almost um I can actually turn this one a little bit one two this is way easier to hold one two no comparison yeah one two so who's winning in this case this one is yours like right now yeah okay it's moving because at the end that one kicks off and this is still turning oh right so why here's heating up that powers at the evening uh no no I still think it's just hit overload this that's good so good so then where these two were equal and we're both in one so these were these were just ah right this one shuts off and this one keeps going just for a second longer ready one two yep okay you count it Riddick one two one two oh we got one I'm on one real okay ready one two one two one two so we just want to spin it pinkies this one again yeah it's got to be the same it's got to be you because if yours is doing the same thing that Dewalt there right one two is this in your way kinda but how's that better and okay one two [Music] one two happening I have no clue one of them Gables way one one so no more our Lord ready one in the same direction switch your direction once Alex might be loosening many get rigid the right I think so because they don't want actually I don't know let's try it again or swap up feel used in the wall and Eric you drinking so now I'm in forward I'm going forward and you're gonna go forward then okay one two oh I go of the trigger I let go and it kept going so yeah they should both really spin a little bit right yeah but it kept going the way you wanted it Jordan I think yours was winning all right this time we've had the sugar yeah well I left my figure on the trigger why it was so it was still spinning and then I let go and it didn't change the drive didn't I'll do the same thing I'll take my finger off the trigger that's all right ready 1 2 3 so so gotta be this one Richard was we're all of our tags all right so this time I'm gonna let go of my trigger ok and if it keeps spinning we know the route to this winning ok ready 1 2 3 I have my finger on the trigger still let's do it again then let go you're gonna let go again I'm gonna let go again 1 2 3 [Music] okay now let me let go let spin all right and go is this time this shut off okay ready 1 2 3 cama let's go since the stop there like a 1 2 3 I'm working because this I am how they live fine I mean that feels a little bit more but this has been gone a little bit longer I just used it to off the tariff that night get home fast so we can get the smoke out one two [Music] but it is just that way well there's no confusion oh maybe I'm over torquing it or whatever we got one person doing all of the one-two [Music] as I didn't watch your ferry got hot might take you a really quick if you want strict just a drill and a drill me you don't care about anything else that virtually it's pretty good right now so this one even though was smoking still going yeah alright we'll see what happens you ready yeah one two and [Applause] [Music] all right now you hit you hit your button yeah look all the copper so they just came on us that's it well at least you have to breathe all that stuff in here it's really sharp today we honor all of our safety here all right let's do the six foot drop test guys right yeah all right grill masters still doing drills [Applause] well the Black and Decker got thrown into the myth let's just check it we're good for the housing cracks [Music] the black can get really fried so that's the only one that's run fried so that's the only one that's fried rigid so this is your typical [Music] hurt hurt hurt hurt all the matarese slide out up much the wall tonight all right yep all of them go up top so this would be a more rugged test yeah okay all right let's check it [Music] no major hey man it didn't come out I love it belt works no major Grau don't see any cracks on it redhead [Music] okay so Herc is norther or Harbor Freight number one that would bunk that one doesn't have the bounce of the rigid yeah okay so we know this one doesn't work cuz we burned it out no damage we got throw it again we always get having a couple times and you think on the charts right where it landed hey so that took the brute force of it right gonna die I mean the first throwing ok bow or dance favorite okay still works though taking advantage of the Harbor Freight warranty seriously so that looks like that might hit the Chuck to a little bit as where it fell down I'm guessing all but she talked right back there yeah she's not doing good dude I'm literally gonna go to Home Depot and it with a GoPro I just believe what happened rigid its rigid Oh battery separation well I'm telling you the rigid is always the underdog its win this yeah I don'ts gonna work out don't something happening there maybe we have power on the battery yeah well the light comes on that's weird right maybe spin it yeah all right Hercules okay that hit pretty hard didn't bounce though no bomb hitting looks like a hit on the top right there so you you drop it up he's gonna work but does the Sun right it definitely went out around or something yeah all right Dan's favorite Dewalt oh the battery ricocheted dude it did it crack it only came out so we could actually put that back together we're throwing it again on soon okay that honors the what really has a good polymer whatever they use the carbon plastic is really good yeah throat - it's gonna work again dude the wallet stop please it starts off busted up alright we gonna do together oh oh oh the gears this is like the crime scene I know stop off cars yeah right we should put like the white chalk around it oh that's cool though check out the gears are they're all that man look at the oil they got in a grease I should say get right in there all right you guys that's our tool test for today I would say we know we have our winner it was Erik strife Erik's Erik's one I'd say The Hurt came in second yeah I did third power for drillmaster without a break when we start with video started before we started and none of them survived alright guys this tool test for today unfortunately none of them survived but we didn't really anticipate that any of them would survive big thanks goes off the tools in action you guys if you haven't seen their chant I'll go over to them these guys have been awesome to the dirt monkey crew to all of us over here show us some love go over their way check their stuff up we got Dan behind the camera we're not Sunday be cool you guys can look at our yes but people shove cameras in my camera that's never been done before I go check out their chair god bless you guys go get up
