I used DeWalt for most of my life. I started at a new job doing industrial maintenance and all they carried was Milwaukee tools. I fell in love with their quality and power. Now I have only Milwaukee at home.
That's what milwaukee should do, dont cut the weight and size like their high torque and put little power.. retain the weight and size and double the number instead! While other brands are getting bigger to beat the competition, milwaukee is going the opposite way
@Ohio Power Tool. Thanks Nick for the quick video about Milwaukee's new M12 stubby FUEL impact wrench I know how you feel Nick (at the end of the video 😳). It's Friday. Hope you and everyone at OPT have a safe and pleasant weekend.
I am going to get either 3/8 or 1/2" . I am leaning towards the 3/8" they are both the same otherwise. I can use an adapter for 1/2" sockets and I usually have a little more room when I need a 1/2" socket. they seem to share the same anvil, specs etc... Of course I can make a case for the other way around. I have a Sunnex 80 piece 3/8" impact socket kit in a case that would be easy to stick in car on trips. The half inch sets take up more cases and weigh more... Anyone else want to weigh in? Even at 550 ft-lb this unit is less than half the torque of my IR pneumatic impact.
I would go with the anvil you have more sockets of and would use. Yes, you can get an adapter either to go either way, but keep in mind you may lose a little of the torque when using an adapter.
It's definitely a tough decision. I have a full set of 1/2 impacts. (SAE, Metric, shallow, deep). Thus far I have no 3/8 impact sockets at all, but I feel like I should. Like I'm some dinosaur resisting the new normal, and need dive in and buy full 3/8 sets. Despite being the same specs, I somehow feel like the 3/8 anvil has a slight edge, and that 3/8 sockets offer a larger range of useful sizes, and less flared sockets in smaller sizes.
@@OhioPowerTool I have decided to go with the 3/8". I have a may of both 3/8 & 1/2" sockets but the idea of this compact impact is for tight places and most bolts don't go over 20mm in those places. Though 500 is great for the size larger 1/2" bolts can require a lot more than that to remove. I have this 80 piece 3/8 impact set in a case that I could through in hatch when on a road trip and I am well covered.
I was legitimately in Home Depot looking at air tools yesterday, looking to see if I even need them… here comes along this little M12 to effectively answer that question I guess painting? Still? Is where air comes in handy? Cause man these cordless electric nailers and staplers are doing amazing work too
Anyone that’s legit worked in a shop knows pneumatic isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Pneumatic just spins way faster and can be very handy for ball joints or struts
Pneumatic will forever be king but if you don't have a compressor or want to do small stuff electric is great. For mobile work battery driven is a must have.
Milwaukee unfortunately pushed it back so we may not be able to ship out until September but if we get them early they are going out as soon as possible!
The only difference is the pin detent, and it refers to the anvil holding the socket. The 2 designs are the Friction Ring or Pin Detent. The Friction Ring is a metal ring on the end that uses tension to hold the socket, which is the most common on impacts. The Pin Detent instead has a spring-loaded pin that sticks out the side of the anvil that you can line up with the holes on your impact sockets which keeps them from falling off when in use. A friction ring prioritizes quick swapping, while a pin detent prioritizes secure attachment.
ah wanted one of these for pretty long and now that the new ones are out I might jump on it. Really can't decide if I wanna go with 3/8 or 1/2 though. As of now I have a 1/2 Dewalt mid torque and a lot of stuff I would use it for 3/8 would be fine. Figures right as Harbor Freight has a 1/2" 13 piece impact socket set (Metric or SAE) on sale for $6. Picked up the metric for the hell of it but I feel like it would be kind of annoyed to use a 3/8 impact with 1/2 sockets?
Seems a lot of Milwaukee m18 torque wrenches have more power with the 3/8 version over the 1/2 for some unknown reason. Does that follow suit with this new stubby?? Is the 3/8 or 1/2 more powerful. I know they are rated the same but so are the m18 that have more powerful 3/8 !!??!!
I would like to say it's Milwaukee Magic, but that's mostly because I'm not an engineer and don't understand exactly how they were able to get higher output out of a smaller tool. With the 25% more mass in the hammer mechanism, you have more weight in a smaller area partnered with the POWERSTATE Brushless motor giving you the extra power. I would not be surprised if they use this engineering design in future M18 impacts.
Sorry for the confusion, Milwaukee originally stated they would be shipping them out to us earlier but had to delay the shipments to September, but as soon as we get them in our warehouse they will go out to customers!
The M18 1/2" Compact Impact has a nut-busting torque of up to 250 ft-lbs. while the M12 1/2" Stubby has a nut-busting torque of up to 550 ft-lbs. Then for weight, the 2855-20 is 3.9 lbs. and the 2563-20 is 2.2 lbs.
They are coming in and going out fast, at the moment 2562 kits for 3/8” are both showing instock. More to come shortly on bare tools and 1/2” but they won’t sit around long. www.ohiopowertool.com/brands/milwaukee-tools/milwaukee-m12-cordless/milwaukee-m12-fuel-impact-drivers-wrenches
Either one will work great, more than enough power, really about what sockets you want to use. Solid 3/8" PACKOUT Set will be a little cheaper and more sockets than the larger 1/2" so all else same we'd lean that way. www.ohiopowertool.com/milwaukee-tools-49-66-6805
@@OhioPowerTool thank you for the update. That is much appreciated. Just fyi, you might want to update your website. It is saying they will ship 7/31/2024-8/07/2024
M12 battery design socks. Cheap little squeezable plastic notches that eventually wear down are supposed to hold the battery into the tool. When they wear down it now takes another hand just to hold the battery on the tool. The m18 batteries don't have this problem. I believe milwaukee keeps this cheap design on purpose.
I've had M12 tools for around 7 to 8 years of decent usage and have never experienced this. Not saying you're lying, just saying it hasn't happened to me. I do agree though... The side push tabs are annoying and sometimes you really have to press them to release the battery. I wish they would change it but then I would have to buy new batteries so nahh.
The 2nd gen has way better clips for holding in the battery they added another set it's actually difficult to take off a battery now but I'll take that over it being hard to keep it in
Not a fan of the “One Handed” mode change operation. You have to use your second hand twice: once to put it into neutral, then to put it back where it was, with double tap(s) using the other hand in-between. It’s at least 3 steps instead of 1. Boo Milwaukee. Boo.

Milwaukee killin it out here in the 12V tool world
I have the 3/8 version and its an absolute beast. Most powerful 3/8 i ever used. Red seal tech here since 1985
Better than half?

im gonna ask my old man to get me this for christmas! hell yeah milwaukee
So This Means you will be Shipping mine real soon because I ordered it when I saw PIPE LINE but Everyone keeps saying it will be SEPTEMBER
They told me they will get their shipment end of July and ship to customers first thing August
Milwaukee unfortunately pushed it back so we may not be able to ship out until September but if we get them early they are going out as soon as possible!
Just placed my order to replace my old bulky craftsman 19.2.

Does it mean the old one will go on sale?)
We hope they will soon! 😉

@@jamesfair9751 SHOP TOOLS REVIEWS just came out a couple tests last week you should see
My thoughts too
How does this have more then the new 18v impact wrench which has only 250 ft lbs

why did they change that power switch? They ran out of the old ones?
Watch a tear apart video. They didn't have room anymore in that part of the tool.
Hey Nick just curious why would you say available to ship now and in the description it says shipping in September
Sorry for the confusion, Milwaukee originally stated they would be shipping them out to us earlier but had to delay the shipments to September, but as soon as we get them in our warehouse they will go out to customers!

Doubt that pneumatic is going away any time soon. Every once in a while I still pull it out.
So no demonstration? You’re just gunna read the pamphlet to us? Cool
Watch Shop Tool Reviews he tested the new stubby
The clip at 0:46 was in our repair shop, sorry for the confusion.
This whole video is just a low budget milwaukee commercial. It deletes comments not pro milwaukee tools.
Sitting here impatiently waiting for my “Pre-order” to ship from OPT…… 🥴
According to Milwaukee, we should get them in September and we will start shipping out as soon as possible!
@@OhioPowerTool thank you for the update. That is much appreciated. Just fyi, you might want to update your website. It is saying they will ship 7/31/2024-8/07/2024
Compactness is still a long way from a Astro nano!
If they can figure out how to replace an airhammer ill never buy an air compressor
