Murdering Milwaukee w/ Increasingly Sketchy Batteries

Since a lot of people are asking, this is the spot welder we use and have had the most luck with: amzn.to/4a1Pwrp
Any 801D, SeeSii just happen to have the best price there. It will actually do 0.25mm nickel strips while a lot of them wont (make sure it's nickel strips, ones that wont rust in a salt bath)

increasingly sketchy bean boxes

Next time we get an "import" battery manufacturer emailing us, I'll try to get some specs and pricing on how this all works for ordering the counterfeits. They'll build them for you with lots of options on cells including Samsung cells but they offer New or Reconditioned. Prices are obviously waaay cheaper for recon so they are building with the right cells but very likely used/reconditioned cells they took out of a "Bad" battery identified what cells still have a little juice then put them with other working recon cells (could be 2-4 years old with heavy use). You can also choose your packaging, really emphasizing they can say whatever you want. Shocking how cheap these can be if you want to order 1000+ look the part but will never last more than a few months before loosing performance, probably profitable if you don't mind being a shady counterfeiter. Really appreciate you highlighting how sketchy these batteries can be! People just try to save a few bucks but then realize you are getting ripped off!

God, that was hilarious watching the Beast annihilate the chuck on the cordless 😂

A normal person "Oh, man, this knock off battery killed my tool"
TorqueTest "But will it kill... all my tools???"

That was so fun! Thanks so much for the time and testing you put into this! I really liked those 15 Cell packs, they were crazy strong! With some very nice cells! Thanks again!

In regards to the fake batteries numbers being so low, if I had to guess, the cells may be genuine but they are either used, recovered, or are factory rejects. Hence the price.

The lipo tech in RC batteries are pretty crazy. and if you ever feel like making tool monsters again, you can get some absolutely ridicules ESC+motor combos to take any impact hammer to the sky :) Love all the "skunk works" videos!

5:00 twenty second quarter mile 😂

"This little guy, is on the struggle bus out the gate" This video deserves a like for that quote alone!! 🤣

“Don’t be surprised if your tools start to unionize” 😂😂😂

I love the "Dr Frankenstein" type videos you do. I have always been one to open up and spice up my tools, sound systems, cars, vacuums, basically everything. This rustles my jimmys.


The "holy crap" statement made my day.

So our battery made it within 15 FT lb of the beast. Very nice! - Mike

This might be your best video yet! 🤣 Was surprised you risked the 1" D handle after killing the other impact but it was totally worth it

I do declare, this the First Annual Built At Home Battery Showdown! !!👏🤞

I dunno why these are so fun. It has the same spirit of dropping a really hot engine on the smallest econo crap box you can get your hands off, and blasting off 9 second pass.

TTC (and anyone wanting to play with LiPo swapped packs) LiHV cells offer all the C ratings of 'normal' LiPo cells but with a nominal voltage of 3.85v (4.35v max). DJI and others use these to eek out further capacity and performance without adding another cell. They would take a nominal pack voltage from 18 (5x3.6v) to 19.25. Combine that with 50C+ discharge...

I love that the Beast was completely unperturbed by the 700W load. That thing is basically a mini backup generator.

Friday vids are better than Christmas Day. Great work as always guys!

I consider any ebay listings of M12 batteries with stock photos counterfeit by default. A lot of the sellers are high volume with 99+% feedback but you'll see dozens of negatives complaining about counterfeit and defective batteries.
