Testing the Makita XGT 40v Drill with 5 heavy duty tools

Testing the Makita XGT 40v Drill with 5 heavy duty tools

Watch next: Can you cut down a tree with a Makita drill? https://youtu.be/MBtrYwqhJjk

If you saw my last video, you know I destroyed 2 drills while making log furniture. So, I went looking for a new, powerful drill. This is not sponsored, I bought the Makita 40v drill with my own money, and in this video, I will do some heavy-duty testing and see if this drill survives!

  1. I honestly think it’s a matter of personal preference, and budget.
    Milwaukee and Flex both have super powerful drills.

  2. Thanks for the conformation, I just got one of these for building a roundhouse, good to see it will be up to the job…looking forward to your other videos now 😊👍

  3. Finally watching this. I’ve put it off, in part, because I want to do this tenon cutting SO much after seeing the bench(es?) you made some time back. Saving up (after the drill press fund is full)!

    Great example demo on the gear, Jesper. Thanks!

  4. Great video 👍 I just bought my first Makita cordless. The 40V 3/4 inch impact . I was absolutely blown away when I opened the box ! The unique quality of the Makita tools is so impressive.

  5. Dainer design sent me here for the first time and i am impressed with the review. The drill seem`s to have no problem with the different attachments and In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger ( I`ll Be Back ).

  6. "And I have this massive stump thats heavy which I lift with ease" thank you for reviewing this I been thinking about this platform

  7. the next time you have to make holes, you can make 2 holes on the ring left by the hole sow. it helps with the removal of sawdust, and because of this it reduces friction.

  8. Excellent video, direct and straight to the point. These 40V Makitas are simply amazing, I have the angle grinder and the sliding compound mitre saw and I absolutely recommend them both, simply brilliant. Love the channel, you have a new subscriber.

  9. I’ve seen tools & stuff use this drill for. Drilling out 300mm wide hole in the ground with This drill and it did it!! some serious power in this little drill. 💪🏻

  10. Yes, this thing is a BEAST. I recently used mine to drill 12mm holes with a HSS drill bit in 6mm tough steel… no problem at ALL. While my old NiMH 14,4V Makita already struggled with 10mm in this steel, the HP001 really went through like… well, as if it was a 6mm piece of WOOD.

  11. Hola! 🖐Really cool video, I enjoyed the "tense" music. Looks like you found a tool that can handle your demand. Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊

  12. If you haven’t already, try Famag Bormax 2.0 Forstner bits. They should be much better than standard types due to their geometry and easier on the machine.
    Thanks for the helpful video.

  13. Watched load of "Drill test videos" and this is exactly the test for a drill!

    If the drill can perform the largest hole cutter, largest auger and longest auger then cut a handle well… it will certainly sink in a screw 😂🤣😂

  14. Nice, I have the old 18v hammer drill version of that and it’s good but that one looks like it would blow the other one out of the water!
    Love the tenon bit, been looking for one but did not know what they were called!

  15. Great stuff as always. I use a corded milwaukee drill for the tenons. It would be nice to have a drill that was cordless and powerful enough so I can work outside. What is the brand for the 2 inch auger bit? Where did you get that from? They are hard to find
