New M12 3/8 Right Angle Impact Wrench From Milwaukee Tools
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2024
- Brian Eslick from How to Automotive www.howtoautomotive.com/ shows off the M12 FUEL Right Angle Impact Wrench. This is the industry's most powerful right angle impact wrench. With up to 220 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque. It features 4-Mode Drive Control which will allow unmatched control in various fastening and bolt removal applications. Modes 1-3 provide RPM and IPM adjustments for precision control. In Mode 4, this tool is equipped with Auto Shut-off Mode in forward and Bolt Removal Mode in reverse. Auto Shut-off Mode will prevent over-tightening of bolts by applying no more than 15 ft-lbs of torque. Bolt removal mode will provide more control as RPMs drastically slow down once the bolt is loosened. The REDLINK PLUS Intelligence ensures users achieve maximum performance and protects the tool against overloads, over-heating, and over-discharge.

Your videos always get straight to the point which is why we are here
looks like it does an excellent job for what it was designed for. it will allow you to remove bolts in hard to reach places that don't exactly need as much power to remove as a gun impact would have. mine arrived yesterday.
Very well presented and great info. Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
Its great for your upper rear shock mounts. They only get put down at 20 ft lbs. It eliminates the need for a wrench to keep nut from spinning. Stubby 3/8 will also do just as good.
Awesome video! My 1/2 came in the mail and cant wait to test out this bad boy on my channel!
How do you like it? Just ordered the 1/2 Ridgid today and can't wait for it to arrive 😎
I found that 6.0 battery give more power I have the 1/2 in ..I do autobody and like this tool keeps me from breaking out the big impact on a lot of jobs I got the tool only already have batteries nice tool👍🏼
Mighty fine demo, thank you! It appears their is a market need for a really powerful right angle impact. This unit does quite a bit and like you said it apparently has a limit to about a 14mm fastener, which covers a heck of a lot of ground under the hood. I have wanted one just for exhaust manifold fasteners but do not know if it would have the oomph the break those nasty rusted bolts and nuts.
Great review. Real world use is the type of thing I need. I don't expect this thing to change lug nuts on my full size truck. I need it for bolts under the hood and in places where my big impact won't work. (like exhaust manifold bolts on my 5.3 GM)
I was really looking forward to this review Brian, I have been wanting to see it in action. I think I will be going for a long reach Milwaukee ratchet now. I like being able to break the bolts free if needed. Thanks Brian 👍
Glad the video helped make the right decision for you. Thank you for watching!
If nothing else it would make a handy 3lb hammer. Looks like it zips those bolts out way faster than a standard battery ratchet. Nice review!
Definitely makes things more efficient when it fits.
Another tool to add to my ever growing Milwaukee future purchases list. Thanks for a very informative video.
If you cant wrench with it then it's not an impact wrench. It's a right angle impact tool.
If you don't buy now you never will! That's what I keep telling myself... Easy to go broke nowadays!
@@thalegacy6 All of my Milwaukee purchases have been saved for & then bought. I have a few ahead of this one. But mark my words, I will get there.
@@greasee.monkey7224 I use Robinhood for my Milwaukee stuff, but TD Ameritrade for more goal orientated objects. I allow myself a month to double my money hahah! They make tools that make my life easier.
Thank you for the awesome real world review
Bryan Fuentez thank you for watching!
really informative video. now i know exactly to expect and can decide if its worth it for me. Thank you
Unknown LC4 Glad you like the video. Thank you for watching!
thank you for video so we can understand that we really need it
Lol sorry for making you spend money 🤓
Nicely demonstrated.
Thank you!
As far as the larger fasteners, if you use the bigger battery it might be able to handle them. The larger battery has higher amperage so therefore it's able to deliver more power. Maybe that's a route to explore for the next video.
Good video I like the honesty
As someone who is trying not to buy every tool Milwaukee makes, I got this hoping it will do the job of two tools, at least most of the time. So, while I am interested in max torque, I am also interested in doing lighter stuff quickly but somewhat delicately…so far so good! Using mode 1 and trigger control I have been able to do small stuff that I used to do with my old off brand, now mostly dead, cordless ratchet!
You have some of the best reviews!
Thank you!
Always good reviews
Thank you!
Great review! I'm torn between getting a electric vs air ratchet. Finally! Milwaukee came out with an impact wrench I was wondering how it would compare against an "air ratchet"??? Thanks!!!
Great review, really helped me make m decision
You are right. Me to sir. 😎
Great Review !
Thank you!
They are good tools to have. I have the ingersol rand 20v right angle and honestly i don't use it much. But when i need it its great! Upper control arm bolts are a common thing i use a right angle impact for. Speed is key and all, add rust and even the most powerful power ratchet gets caught up alot. Anyway these tools are no substitute for a regular impact or a cordless ratchet! A great ayou ddition to your tools but they should be purchased AFTER you have a ratchet and impact in that size.
Hi, this video was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the upload. I bought a M12 FIR38LR (75NM) to undo a 21mm rear shock bolt. It’s got no guts. I can hold the socket tight in my fist and it can’t turn the socket. It has no power. Apparently this is normal , so the head distribution place in UK says. After watching this tool, maybe this would not do it either. The right hand rear shock access is tight with the exhaust in the way. Last time it took me hours with a manual ratchet. Was so looking forward to using my brand new tool.
Wish it had more breakaway Torque. This would be awesome for doing air bags on buses.
Just break the nut loose then use this to finish it off. I'd like to get it for the same job and class 8 diesel trucks and trailers airbags
I kind of want one but at the same time I can't think of many jobs I would chose it over the M12 stubby
This is a tool from the future
I started out with the Kobalt right angle impact which it just too weak and ended up with the Milwaukee as the Kobalt couldn't even break the caliper free. I'm just a DIYer and it works fine for me. I also had to use my high torque impact to remove those larger brake bolts.
Wat amp hour battery u using? That's the problem why your not able to break it loose. I'm assuming your using a 2ah battery. Should try the 6ah. Totally turn it into a hulk lol
It’s a good extra tool if you like collecting tools
Please make a 3/4 inch one @milwaukeetools
Nice gun👍
It’s really good in certain situations. I primarily use it for jeep suspension builds. I probably should have bought the 1/2 version since that’s what I mostly use but I had a nice set of Cornwell 3/8 impact sockets. Not at all disappointed but also not super impressed.
I feel the same way about it right right there in the middle. Thank you for watching!
Those power mode button tend to break. It did on my both stubby impact gun.
Use Swivel impact sockets my guy good video 👍
Hell yes I love my it helps a lot
I was considering buying this tool. but after seeing how u struggle to remove t brake caliper bracket bolts. u just saved me some money.
Not if you use the 6amp battery...
@@onintrie224 well God damn bro a 6amp battery what's the point of that looks heavy enough n now a bigger battery.thats double t weight for effort.n then t cost for that battery
Seems pointless.ratchet with long handle to lose then use my m12 .milfucky to loosen.
@@JuanHernandez-ov8wv you got a point, but still lighter compared to the M18...
Can’t forget you’re also only using a 2amp battery once you go 4 amp and up you’ll feel the power difference.
Thank you Brian. Good job. Looks like they exaggerated the breaking torque of 220 ft. lbs. They probably meant 220 inch lbs. Have a blessed and safe week to you and your family.
That's equivalent to about 18 FT/LBs. This tool does not have 220 break away torque, but it's up there. I've removed f-350 lug nuts which are in the 140-165FT/LBs with ease.
@@pumanegro3636 Throw on the XC4.0, and better yet the XC6.0, and you will change your mind. After unboxing, I tested on 30mm bolts that were used for assembling my 20 ton floor press (xc 6.0 Battery). It took 11 secs to remove it with a twisted split ring washer 1/8 inch thick set at 200 ft lbs, simulating rust situation pretty much. With split ring washer removed, I stepped it up to 220 ft lbs, and it took it off in under 2 secs....suprised me how fast it came off (using 1/2 inch model). Used heavy sockets (reg length), they make a difference.....hit harder, like sledge vs regular hammer.
The reason why I ended up here was a tight bolt and it happened to be the exact same caliper bolt this failed to open. 😢 Still not sure whether to buy it.
Looking to purchase one but debating whether air or battery powered to replace a broken one...thanx!
I was in the same boat as you! Initially I was thinking how is 12V going to compete with 125psi air tool! I should of went with my instinct. I bought this tool to remove the Upper Control Arm for my Car. The space is IMPOSSIBLE for any Standard Neumatic Air Gun!!! With this Tool it may easily fit in the tight spots with the 90 Degree! I was excited to try and remove the Control Arm. I received the tool and went straight to my car. I removed the tire and grabbed the 19mm Socket! I made sure it was tight on the bolt and was excited to pull the trigger! I push the button with all my strength and the Tool began to impact!!! To my surprise!!! The Bolt did NOT budge one bit!!!! What a waste of time!!! Returned the Tool and paid a Mechanic to do the Job!!!
Why wasn’t an XC battery used?
It's an improvement compared to the m18 right angle impact that could only remove 10mm bolts. 12mm was touch and go. 14mm forget about it. Shame this tool can't do 17mm caliper brackets. Hopefully the next gen will get there
It's because it's the 3/8 version with the smaller battery and he used a small impact socket, then added an extension - all those things will absolutely kill impact torque. I have the 1/2 version with an xc6.0 battery and took 19mm nuts fastened to 145ft/lbs off my front struts with no issue with a deep well impact socket. 21mm 90ft/lb lug nuts and 90ft/lb control arm nuts with some rust were not a challenge either - all flew off after a few impacts.
@@kaimingleung1396 mine struggles to remove 17mm lug nuts that are torqued to 120nm (88ft-lb) thats using deep impact sockets (6 point) 1/2" with the 6ah pack. The same result even after manually breaking them off and torquing then back up and them impacting them off
When you were putting the header bolts back on, could've just used the 4th setting which runs down to 10 ft pounds or something like that
Definitely could’ve. I’m old-school I like to use the variable trigger
Yes, is for me... HVAC-R Technician
If it also locked like the weak ratchets do it would be perfect, actually ill add if it had a second on switch on the front somewhere, as that would help when you would put your hand over the ratchet, not a deal breaker.
Got a review on comparison of ATG, CAT, Kobalt, IR & Milwaukee?
The Milwaukee has like 30ftps more tork the the bigger bulkier Xtr.. Kobalt.
@@michaelmangino9819 Actually the Kobalt has more reverse torque than Milwaukee.
Based on two, they both are too heavy to hold & use (4A batery)?
@@angelisone not to heavy for me . I think it's light. My hand fits perfect to it
@@michaelmangino9819 It's not heavy for you with a 4A or 6A battery?
@@angelisone no, all I have for my m12 are 6.0.. I do think the button to control imo should be like 4inches more towards the anvil end. But other being a bit to long I thinks it's balanced and very easy to handle. I wish the came out w it last yr. Bcuz id prolly not bought the 1/2 inch ratchet that only had 175rpms.. But yea I think it's sweet. It's really about like the ratchet. Just kinda heavier on the anvil end vs it. Same diameter as the ratchets.
Seems like this tool was only made to take off two caliper bolts. I feel like anything else you could use the stubby or the electric ratchet.
I bought it for applications where a ratchet isn't strong enough and an impact won't fit and for those situations I think it's great.
I'm on the fence on the 90' impact. I've been giving it the beans for a few days now not Shure about it's worth $$$
I got the ratchet and 1/2 mid torque, so maybe I'll wait for a more compact version to come out
If you have the budget and space in your box it’s a handy tool to have. I just wouldn’t call it a necessity.
@@Volksoner619 ya it not a wast. But in my case I had a old Ingersoll Rand Hammerhead that I've been unimpressed with but does as good of a job
Which would you recommend using , the 1/2 or 3/8 drive?
Andy Albor 3/8 all the way. There’s not enough torque for half inch sockets. Plus you have a lot more socket options with 3/8
How to Automotive Also for the Milwaukee ratcheting tools, which drive would you recommend on using, 1/4 or 3/8 drive?
@@HowtoAutomotive I’m buying tools to work on my freightliner Coronado. What torque range should I move up to 1/2 anvil? The mid torque?
i like your review style
i will try it in my next video (Arabic content)
Thank you!
You got the 4th mode backward my friend, it’s for running a bolt or nut down, when it detects resistance it stops making that fastener ready to be torqued with a torque wrench.
It does both according to what I have read.
it doesn’t ot work to remove nuts from tires?
It’s not design to. To do that you have to add extensions and and that reduces the torque
I recently purchased the m12 Fuel Driven to Outperform and what I did was watch a few reviews on it to see what batteries to get for it to get the most power out of it and if your not using the XC4.0 battery minimum for work then you are wasting your time I purchased 3 XC6.0 no problem 👍🏾 but if you don’t do your research you will get disappointed 😢
Do you recommend 1/2 or 3/8 drive?
3/8
Depends on what you’re working on. I got 3/8 because I had a nice set of mostly unused cornwell sockets but should’ve gotten 1/2 because it’s what I mostly use. It’s a great tool for suspension and brakes but know that you’ll need to break loose some (rusted/thread locked) stuff with a bar.
I want it
I want it
I want it
I WANT IT
Like kid in the store when see a new toy
Lol
A deep well socket would have worked on that bracket bolt.
When in EUROPE ??
I just returned the 1/2" version, I tried it on multiple fasteners, only broke one loose. The sad part, the M12 extended ratchet broke loose more bolts then the right angle. And yes, the extended ratchet is not intended to break loose fasteners. Really disappointed, as I do have a use for the right angle. I ordered another in 3/8", will give that a shot, as the 3/8" M12 tools seem to be better than the 1/2", which is odd, because the only difference between the two is the anvil.
What size battery did you use? For these you need the 5 or 6AH to get some power out of it
@@mike_t_007 It was the high amp battery. I have a few of various amperage. I always go for the big ones. And it was a Milwaukee battery.
I like this tool and thank you for making a review on this but I’ll pass on this tool!
Respectfully I cannot see it being more beneficial to me it didn't seem like any bolts it broke loose were factory tight just seemed like it had been previously I would give it a three on a scale of one to ten ten being better
If you get the 6.0 battery its a big difference I’ve used it on suspension,exhaust and lugs works great so far
Yeah he was using a small battery that doesn’t produce as much power as the 4 or 6amp
Milwaukee are very smart. They always release small torques first after we buy it all then they let the big torque out . So if I buy this one I don’t need the others
I don’t think they’re planning that. I think they just keep improving their tools but it is funny.
@@HowtoAutomotive they are planning that. They are in the business of selling toolS.
If you use 5 amp battery, you will gain a lot of power
I mean at some point it starts getting a bit ridiculous, having to carry around 3 power tools just to remove one part from the car. 98% you can do with a mid torque and decent adapters.
6ah battery makes a huge difference.
if you use the 1/2 version you get more work done. half inch sockets hit harder than 3/8s sockets .not opinion if its science
Copy that! My 1/2 came in the mail couple days back and wanting to wrench on the car real soon! Stay tuned to my channel for more vlogs 😎
I was excited about this tool but i dont understand why it has to be so long...
I think Milwaukee is reaching with the new ratchets. I don't think they justify the power and cost compared to older series. The ratchet head is also not going to fit in most places that people need them to fit into. I would only buy it if you can't live without it. I am personally going to save my money.
kj197734 I don’t know if they’re reaching I like the innovation in the moving forward.
These aren't new ratchets though. It's basically their M12 stubby impact wrench in a similar case as the ratchet. It does seem like it's rare though that you'd need to use this specific tool, instead of the stubby or the fuel ratchet.
Honestly I think it's a great tool for someone who doesn't already have the stubby. Like if you don't already have the M12 stubby and you're deciding between the two, then this is the definitely the tool to get unless you really don't like the ratchet form factor or you're using it in a non-automotive setting where clearance is not so much an issue.
I'd also say that the 1/2, hog/friction-ring version of this tool is the one to get for ease of use and maximum effectiveness. Get the bare tool and at least an xc4.0 battery as well.
Like I wanted to get the stubby, but I waited for this to come out and I'm glad I did. I see no reason for me to get the M12 stubby now, the 3/8 fuel ratchet and the 1/2 right angle impact are the go-to-tools in my bag with an 18" 1/2 ratcheting breaker from Harbor Freight and a 1/4 ratchet as a situational backups.
Well that’s disappointing. You demonstrated it in wide open circumstances and in tight spaces it still wouldn’t fit. What about if you need to remove a harmonic balancer w/o having to take the front end off? Too big? Seems so.
Have one in 1/2 drive. Torque is extremely weak...nowhere near 220 ft-lb advertised. Wouldn't break out a measured 105 ft-lb bolt. Has 85 ft-lb effort at most regardless of setting
4th :D awesome vid
Thank you!
Why are people even trying to use the (ratchet) to break fasteners free. Just because it has a (torque) rating? Try it with a air ratchet, LOL and crush your knuckles.. Ratchets are ratchets, they don't impact. That's why this tool is a RIGHT ANGLE IMPACT and the ratchet not a called a impact ratchet
Free tool and very limited need for it. Almost every bolt you took out could have been done with the stubby or fuel 3:8 ratchet and a lot lighter
Giveaway ?
TheOutwiththeold maybe in the future I’ll see what I can do and if I do it will be on my Instagram page.
Just got mine. The head is heavy and the power is less than expected
Don't forget this tool eats batteries!
Head too big, most area wont fit, max loosen 21mm, and must no use lock tight, if I can try before buy, for sure wont.
The head its to big not so good for car work cars have small spaces
If you have the stubbies and fuel ratchets, this tool is useless. Interesting idea, just not powerful enough to be life changing
It can’t get into tighter spices then study. It’s about an inch and a half to 2 inches shorter so that’s the advantage
Its got no power and bulky
Did you watch the video at all?
