The traditional impact driver relies on the impact block to impact the output shaft at a certain angle and speed to output power, while the hydraulic impact driver uses fluid hydraulics to transmit the power and torque of the motor, avoiding the hard metal impact, thereby greatly reducing noise, vibration and wear. At present, only a few power tool brands on the market, Makita, Ryobi, Ridgid and Miwaukee, have launched a limited number of products, and these products have their own characteristics, and there are corresponding recommendations through comparison. Power tools are eye-opening, let's take a look at them with you today.
Let's start with the conclusion

Specific comparative tests
Testingoneunder loadOutput speed test
Punch the screws of 1 4 into the plank, Makita with 5038 rpm points at the top of the standings, with Mivoc's M18 at 4446 rpm ranked second.
Compared with traditional impact drivers, the average speed of these hydraulic impact type products is slightly lower, but it is also said that in the past, after all, low noise is the most important consideration when choosing a hydraulic impact driver.
Test 2: Outputeffectrate
It's good to have a fast output speed, but it's also important to use the output speed efficiently. To measure the measurement efficiency, the test load speed was compared with the no-load speed. The higher the percentage, the shorter the motor runs during operation, extending the overall life of the tool.
Makita maintains its leading position with an efficiency of 177%, 18 for the Mivocz M154%。
The average efficiency of the traditional 18V impact driver is about 16%, and the average efficiency of the 12V product is about 11%. These data also show that the hydraulic impact driver has no real efficiency loss or gain, albeit at a slightly slower speed.
Test 3:Tighten the twistMoment
Makita is at the top of the list here with an average of 1871 in-lbs. Second-placed Miwoc's M18 is only slightly higher than the third-place M12, and Yoshiaki's numbers are a bit lacking.
Conventional 18V impact drivers can deliver up to 1413 to 2656 in-lbs of torque, which is a notch higher than hydraulic impact drivers.
Test Four:Nut stop torsionMoment
The Miwachi M18 took first place in our nut stop torque test with 2,880 in-lbs, followed by Makita with 2,760 in-lbs and Yoshiaki 600 in-lbs still at the bottom.
With a staggering 4,800 in-lbs of performance for traditional 18V impact drivers, there is still a long way to go in this area.
Test Five:NoiseContrast
Each brand of hydraulic impact driver claims to significantly reduce noise. But which one is the best performer in the actual test?
The award went to the Miwach M12, which measured an average sound pressure level of only 87 dB(A). The M18 Fuel Surge, Makita and Ryobi are all 7 dB(A) higher. As you know, noise measurements are not linear, and this 7 decibel drop means that the sound intensity is more than four times worse! As for how loud the sound is (perceived loudness), every 10 decibels decreases the sound in half. Therefore, in the actual test, Miwoqi's M12 has a noticeable low noise perception compared to other products.
Conventional 18V impact drivers range from 97 to 105 dB. Its best 97 decibels is 3 decibels higher than the worst 94 decibels of the hydraulic version, meaning that the sound intensity is twice as bad. The worst 105 dB is 18 dB worse than the 87 dB of the hydraulic version, the sound intensity is 64 times worse, and the perceived loudness difference is nearly 4 times!
Test Five:HeavyamountContrast
The weight of these four products varies greatly from each other. Miwoc's M12 is our most lightweight product, with 20 weight after 2ah battery4 lbs.
A traditional 18V impact driver will weigh a little less than these oil pressures, but not much lighter.
Test 6: Size comparison
The M18 has the shortest length of the Miwocki at 50 inches, which is an advantage over its M12. However, the height of the M12 is significantly shorter, so the overall structure is compact.
In fact, compared to the traditional 18V impact driver, the other three products except Liangming are already very compact.
TestingEightValueContrast
The value comparison is not only the first, but also the appearance, function, performance, after-sales, corresponding battery platform and other factors are considered.
Miwoc's M18 has the highest score of 80, and several other products also have good scores, but overall it is still a bit behind the traditional 18V shock driver. This is because the current performance of this kind of hydraulic impact driver is not very outstanding, but the ** is high, so the overall value score is not so high. Of course, everyone prioritizes different aspects in different ways according to their preferences. If you work in an inhabited place such as a school or office building, noise level control is very important, and a hydraulic impact driver can soar to the top of your value list.
Note: The M12 Fuel Surge rating is based on its comparison to the 12V model. All others were compared with the 18v model.
