I used ruclips.net/user/postUgkx4ynqaujg7rZKFapA8s29kTpRszJGa3-K this for the first time today to replace the front wheel bearing on my rwd 98 dodge dakota. This had absolutely no issue removing or reinstalling the lug nuts and it took off the axle nut without any struggle. Sounds like it's got some muscle to it. Time will tell
Best tool review on RUclips. I Was thinking about getting this. Its always good to have that extra power. I know its not really ment for automotive work but I would love to see this against the Honda crank bolt.
Honda crank bolt will definitely tell of you have a worthy tool. We dragged an accord to Walmart once and they couldn't break it😂😂😂😂😂 (I had friends working there at the time so they did it for me)
Is that battery isolator removable? Wonder if it can be retro fitted to the other high impacts, to absorb thay horrible battery slop. It's the only downside of the tool and would be awesome if we could get it as a standalone part.
This guy definitely doesn’t know much about on the road tire service, but one hell of a salesman. The technology not ready for the commercial tire industry. I’d rather have my air for now
What is difference vs previous model 2868-20 except extended anvil? Im thinking that previous model 2868-20 was more compact and could be used in more tight places and could be extended by 1" extension
I work at a family owned custom semi shop, Peasterbilt Customs. We build and restore custom show truck and work trucks. This would be nice to have. Cause everytime someone needs to pull a wheel off, you have to wait for air, due to sanders and other cut off tools.
It is very handy for that. Even roadside/emergency techs like them because they don't have to run a huge compressor and drag out the air hose. Thanks for watching.
Have been waiting a long time for this thing and after being a little disappointed by the first 1inch gun and my pneumatic 1inch guns, I decided to try a pre owned pneumatic torcup RP2000 and that solved the nut breaking and the tightening accuracy but not the cave man user factor, so I will be anxious to see your new review. PS the Milwaukee makes a great nut runner!
I been thinking about buying one to throw in my big truck so I don't have to wait for someone to bring me a service truck still have to see one in action before I bite the bullet
Wow, that tool is a beast. In your opinion, is Milwaukee head and shoulders better than Dewalt? I recently bought a Dewalt 3/8 Impact wrench, 1/4 inch impact driver and a 1/4 inch screwdriver kit what is your take on those? I got all 3 for about $320
I believe their brands have their strengths and weaknesses. Top of the line Hammer Drill, DeWalt. Circular Saws Dewalt Recip Saws, about same. Tool Selections Milwaukee for automotive, about same for general contractors. 12v tool line up Milwaukee Impact drivers Milwaukee Half inch high torque impact wrench more or less the same. If Milwaukee does have an advantage it’s not noticeable at all in the real world. Both guns are beasts. 1 inch impacts Milwaukee as Dewalt doesn’t have an answer for this. The mid torque, and smaller impacts, Milwaukee is more powerful, but Dewalt’s are smaller and more ergonomic, so about the same. Ergonomics, Dewalt, especially on the 12v line ups. I find the ergonomics on the Milwaukee 12v tools to be a lot like handling a small coke can. Price point Dewalt Warranty Milwaukee.
I don't think you have anything to worry about. Those DeWalt tools will serve you well. Power on most of these new tools (Milwaukee, Makita, DeWalt, etc.) are more than needed for most of the jobs they're created for. Milwaukee and Ryobi do a great job at innovating and releasing new tools, constantly. DeWalt (Stanley Black & Decker) is the largest tool company on the planet, and they move like molasses (very slow). DeWalt makes great tools, but they tend to let each model become really old before innovating and updating again. Makita is a Japanese company, so every move is thought out ahead of time. They make tools for specific tasks/jobs, and they're not out to be the "Most Powerful" or whatever the latest tag line is.
I really want to see how close it gets them to the recommended torque.but I'm definitely buying one when I can because I'm sick of waiting for my compressor to catch up.
FYI, the rapid charger will charge quicker than the supercharger...at least mine does with my 8.0’s, 5.0, and 12.0 batteries. The marketing was misleading IMO
Hi saya dari indonesia, saya sering melakukan penggantian ban pada heavy duty trailler,terutama di jalan toll. Impact wrench anda sangat berguna tapi harganya mahal sekali
Lol, I think I know what you mean. FYI, we'll be publishing a full review once Milwaukee actually releases the tool to the public. Thanks for watching.
@@stevennihipali3607 at least its not facebook where anybody is an expert sheetrocker, finisher, carpenter, mechanic or cardiac surgeon on the comment section
That D-handle version is in a league of its own.. The pistol grip 1 inches impact automotive related 😅 that would be over kill.. it would be nice if Milwaukee does a Heavy-duty 3/4 drive on that 1 inches pistol platform.. 🤔
We agree, we would love to see a 3/4" in the Pistol grip (1") platform; however, Milwaukee does not market the large Pistol to be automotive related. They see this as a heavy-equipment and construction hard-joint tool. Made for assembling steel beams and blades on bulldozers, etc. Thanks for watching.
@@Shoptoolreviews Milwaukee could start widening their marketing strategy as the 3/4 drive is the go to for HD field guys in mining , abit more power would be greatly appreciated, even the compact and mid range tools are used by hundreds of HD shop service guys on these massive equipment PM's
I understand what you are saying, and 99% of my other videos are as you desire. This was just a preview of the tool. Milwaukee has still not released this for distribution, so I was holding the real review with live footage until they actually release the tool to the public. Thanks for watching.
@@Shoptoolreviews I don't think there is a problem with that. You just need to make it clear in the very beginning of the video that you will not be showing the tool in use.
Somewhere in Milwaukee headquarters: milwaukee engineers:yes,we will listen demands of mechanics and we will fabricate what ever they come up with, and we will fullfill every their desire,in meanwhile somewhere in japan in makita hq:makita engineers talking to makita ceo,hey boss milwaukee beating us we need to come up with something,we have nice ideas for a new tools,we spoke with daily mechanics and they gave us some good ideas,makita ceo:wtf i don't want to listen mechanics and their nosense,we will produce coffee machines,portable fridges,jackets and useless things and you will stick to my plan or you will get fired,makita engineers laughing who gives a fuck we will do like boss says produce shit which is useless.regards from:croatia.
The half m18 1/2” impact already cracked our 8.0. They need some better battery isolation ideas like Makita does with there high vibration tools. Otherwise you have a useless $150 paper weight. You shouldn’t have to glue an expensive 6 month old battery together and call it normal. So this is a long time coming.
Shop Tool Reviews Thank you. I’m debating on waiting on that one or buying stubby one🤔. I’m a trailer mechanic for Great Dane and so far I’ve seen videos of guys using stubby one and saying it’s great for removing tires and tighter places.
I have this. I’m very disappointed in it. I’ve only used it a few times, it doesn’t even have a scratch on it yet, and now it’s lacking power, all 4 modes feel no different, and it won’t remove nuts it put on last time I used it. Nothing has changed, still use the 12 aH batteries I bought with it and made sure to charge them both thinking the lack of power came from the batteries even though the charge meters on them showed full. I’m betting they’re going to have a shit control board Milwaukee is going to deny is defective until enough of their victims *ahem* “customers” make it clear they’re breaking out the torches and pitchforks. Kinda like that cheapass design mod they pulled on the 1/2 “updated” model recently where they shot themselves in the ass and finally were forced by internet reviews to recall the whole inventory and revert back to the old design.
Don’t believe what they said I bought I new one don’t have enough power in reverse I hardly use it send it for repair first time, didn’t work send back second time I was the same after two years said was out of warranty!!! Look somewhere else
You can have a 12amp battery empty and won't break the stud. See the other video on you tube comparing 1inch air impact to this. Not saying it's not a good tools. But u still need to keep the air impact in the tool box as this is not strong enough to pull every 33mm wheel nuts out there.
Absolutely, you are correct. We'll be dropping a full review of this in the next few days. This should handle 90+% of the work, and the air can take care of the rest. Where it's really handy is for that Mobile mechanic that doesn't have to pull an air hose, crank the compressor, etc. Thanks for watching.
I'm not sure it would do any good on some suspension bolts either. Especially on ones that haven't been touched in 30 years. That's what I ran into recently and needed to just sit there and let the air tank drain and refill a couple times with the trigger down. The air barely kicks back so you can basically prop it up on one knee and use a single hand while sipping your coffee. Lol. I'm refurbishing an old truck though so it's possible I'm in a rather unique situation. I think this gun is great for road service guys and anyone working fasteners that don't go a long time between removal. In a shop environment you might as well run air. They have pneumatic guns kicking over 2k now and they don't overheat.
As a mobile guy these make alot of sense especially in the winter. When the air lines and guns freeze it can cause a lot of issues. The video i saw of this not taking lugs off where all rusty old lugs. A torch or a torque multiple would be useful in those situations of u don't have an air gun on the truck. Only issues really is the price. If u have a shop and air your better off not spending the extra money on this tool. I have the other 1 inch and it takes most lugs off as well
i have 3/8 , 1/2 ,3/4 so i buy the 1 inch and i was very disappointed ! my 3/4 would take off nut the one inch would not and when tighten the 3/4 would turn 2 more times than 1 inch so i sent it back they send me another new one and it is the same as the other .. both same size batteries ,, for me it is a peace of shit i was very disappointed !!!if you call Mikwaukee they want you to pay money to get help !!!
What is it with you americans and thinking that you need 999999ft-lb to undo the wheel nuts of a standard truck? You can get 1/2" guns that do it, and 3/4" guns are practically a sure thing. How about using something with 2000ft-lb of nut busting torque on a nut that's actually difficult to undo? Next you're going to tell me that this gun is great at undoing wheel nuts on a bicycle. Also, not much of a review if you don't even show it doing something as trivial as a truck's wheel nuts. Really disappointing.
Good luck with your 3/4” gun after the tire guy hammered them on to 1000ft-lb and they’ve been thru 1-2 winters. If you know what winters are where you are from.

How did you like the impact?
@@robertsantini5107 works great! Not as powerful as air, but beets having to use a hose.

Awesome, that's great to hear. I hope they're working well for you. Thanks for watching.
I been waiting patiently for the full review of that extended Milwaukee D handle maybe a tear down to see what’s inside be awesome to see 😁
I guess they lie to keep us interested 🤷🏻♂️
Best tool review on RUclips. I Was thinking about getting this. Its always good to have that extra power. I know its not really ment for automotive work but I would love to see this against the Honda crank bolt.
We will see what we can do. Thanks for watching.

@@bigboreracing356 you're right😂
They came out with the harbor freight central pneumatic 1 incher😂
I broke 2 breaker bars try to break loose my crank pulley... I think I need this
For the tool only price I can have this beast or the Snap on that got beat by the 12V stubby. Really tough choice.
I will never have a need for this thing.. but damn it'd be nice!
Great point! Thanks for watching.
Riiiiiiiight!!😂
Best tool reviewer in the business right here folks
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it. Thanks for watching.
When he said the small gun was made for excavator or dozer tracks I burst out laughing he has obviously never touched a track
As soon as it comes out I'm buying it!!
We don't blame you for that. Do you change a lot of heavy truck tires? Thanks for watching.
Is that battery isolator removable? Wonder if it can be retro fitted to the other high impacts, to absorb thay horrible battery slop. It's the only downside of the tool and would be awesome if we could get it as a standalone part.

Actually, he's niether. lol. Thanks for watching.

What is difference vs previous model 2868-20 except extended anvil? Im thinking that previous model 2868-20 was more compact and could be used in more tight places and could be extended by 1" extension
The nice thing about the d handle impact is that you use bigger impact sockets for bigger and bolts.
Definitely. More mass and inertia to help with the impact. Thanks for watching.
Carry on truck with you
I just got one… why? Because why not lol. 90% of the time my go to is my 2767 but I’m glad to have this 2869 in my arsenal for when I need it.
