BOLTR: Millwaukee 1/2" Nut Smacker
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 янв 2017
- We take a close look at the Milwaukee 1/2" impact wrench to see it's build quality. I'll try to fix it, but It's worn out after 300 hours of heavy industrial use. We'll see why at the end of the vid. The mechanism itself is very robust, but it has a couple weak points that made this gun crap out. My DeWalt has about the same amount of time on it. It doesn't hit as hard as the Milwaukee lithium ion, but it's ten years older.

Man if I had a dollar for everytime I've heard you say "glass fiber reinforced" I'd have my own Bridgeport.
😂😂😂😂
PA6 30%......check that 50%. you can hear the fibers. ( scrape scrape )
You’d best wait a few weeks and get a less “wobbly” milling machine with “a quarter inch better tolerances”
I realized one my Air Chucks is a Bridgeport :P
Not even clapped out lol
"Batteries don't take well to being hacksawed." There's some excellent life advice.
Eh at least he learned that from experience, he could have done it once and still be doing it today. Some people have trouble learning after too much pixie dust and too much confuzer.
well no shit Sherlock, your supposed to use a sawsall. duh.
@@mrromantimothy not really. It doesn’t just spontaneously combust. More than likely he’d be fine unless he actually sawed through them leaving behind lithium saw dust. But even then it’s not like a certain thing that will definitely happen.
"1/2" Nut Smacker" was my nickname in Highschool
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I guess you were on your knees pretty often😜😜
"put that over there so we can lose it"....story of my life lol
"She's completely dead, yeah."
"Still, any excuse to have a peek under the skirt."
"To see what makes her chooch"
"Hopefully we'll find out what killed her"
And that, your honor, was how I became a necrophiliac.
Maybe put in a new army and the chooch will smell better.
They should teach this language at schools,love the vids. Very educational
Don't forget, "she got it where it counts!"
Fucking hilarious
my intermittent tool problems are usually alcohol related
Now that's how you comment!, take note reddit. I haven't fucking laughed like this in awhile, I needed that.
👏👏👏👏👏👏😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍😀
fv nordby lmao.
You should prob get some help
OMFG I laughed four an hour after reading this comment
Listen to just the audio of AvE's content and I can almost guarantee that you won't know that he's talking about tools lol
He's like a comedic scientist.
In all seriousness tho
“She ain’t pretty, but she got it where it counts”
-AvE
That's actually a quote from Han Solo
That reminded me of my ex girlfriend 😂😂 😂😂 😂😂 😂😂 😂
I've got an exam in 8 hours and I don't think a question on rattle guns will come up but I better watch this video just in case you know better to cover all bases
Mad Chewy interrupted my medic studies as well. gotta figure how humans chooch somehow.
How did that exam go
@@kylemarkus3694
He failed and committed suicide
@@gregorsamsa1364 allegedly
The black ring at the back of the armature used to be a fan.
I will forever call impacts nut smackers till the day I die now 😂😂
I call mine the "Ex Wife" because it's still busting my nuts
Whenever I need a hammer to "repair" something, I call it "impact calibration".
Gentle Persuasion
Corrective hammer blow
I had a 3/4 inch drive crap out at work. Took her out of the scrap bin and replaced the brush assembly and she works great again! Thanks for the inspiration AvE!!
My papa taught me how to hand pack bearings too. Still got the car I learned on. ahh memories.
Might go repack the bearings this weekend just for nostalgias sake.
6:14 still going to be flow/turbulence that needs to be vented..... Clearly ..
I work in a heavy equipment shop and we have a road guy that uses his everyday, has had it for a couple years and it still beats a brand new snap on
You mean Scam On/Strap On
Man - you're really damn knowledgeable of manufacturing process and materials! I find that amazing.
The yellowish epoxy on the windings/commutator you are pointing at^2 5:20 isn't for balancing the armature, it's called "gel banding". Used when there is very high speed or radial flex in the armature shaft that can fatigue the fusing of the windings to the commutator tangs and a broken wire. You can see a few seconds later some brownish putty stuck on the opposite end windings that is for balancing.
As someone who repairs electric tools... The way to check them; Is it making sound? no = Check battery, then brushes then wires & trigger/circuit boards, . All the other components are mechanical so if it isnt making sound (or smoke) in 99% of cases its those three things. And never trust customers when they say they've checked things... I had one customer that came in with a flashlight and said it was broke and he tried everything... He didnt change batteries...
In the case of this video though, I would look closely on the brush holder/brushes, seems like that is the likely culprit. Usually when you bang on it and it works its a loose/bad wire or the brushes.
At least AvE is honest "I tried nothing and am all out of ideas".
I use that frequently and always get a chuckle out of people.
spoofer20 I had a question if you don't mind answering, it would be appreciated: I bought a new brushless Milwaukee Mid Torque 1/2" impact wrench used it for lug nuts with an 80 ft. lb. torque stick, noticed a burnt motor smell (you know that smell) coming out of the rear tool air vent. There is no smoking just that smell, is this normal break-in or should the tool be returned?
cardo It’s not quite normal. But is in warranty so use it until it dies or the smell will disappear, you got nothing to lose
@@horiachiorean8592 Nothing to lose ? That's some crazy logic you're using there. It'll give up the ghost when he's using it and he''ll be right in the ****. Faulty electrics don't fix themselves. Get it replaced while you're not depending on it, then you'll have a warranty AND a healthy tool you're not waiting to die on you just when you need it.
How many times has a guy said, " I ain't going in there again" and the next day ya see him buying more rubbers?
LMAO Always wrong brain again.
Having an interest in tools and have my hands on them often your channel is very enjoyable. Due to your hilarious sence of humor, and Canadian disposition; It is an extra added bonus!! you got added to one of my favorites bud!! Thank you for the show!! And keep em comming!
*You just squeeze it in there until it comes out the back side*
ohh my....
I've used my 3/8 and 1/2 in a professional setting for over 3 years no problems. Still on the original batteries even. One of the best investments I've made.
Things I will be "borrowing" from this episode to make my uncle laugh;
"You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel."
"Yu-long Ding-Dong Brand"
"Jazz hands routine on the gargler"
Thanks again
You forgot, "I do most of my thinking in my head." That got me.
IanCaine4728 Personally, I do most of my thinking in conversation, but most of my stinking happens in my head.
New to BoLTR. Spat out my beer at "picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel". Are you related to Ryan Gosling or John Wayne, pilgrim??
Well if you bought it a year ago then you should be getting a new one.
@@dtnel if it was bought new a year ago, it would still have another 4 years warranty!
I love the gearing view to get a full idea of how the gearing is working! Keep up the informational bits and we'll keep on learning.
I have to say that most of the parts that you refer to as metal injection molded are really compression molded. It is a much simpler and cheaper and much more common way of making powdered metal parts. They are made in a press with a die, upper and lower punches and pins for the through holes. A feed shoe slides over the cavity, the lower punch is lowered in the die and the powder is gravity fed into the die (usually with shaking or vibration to help it flow better), the shoe retracts the punches close in the die, then the upper punch rises and the lower punch raises to the top of the die and the part is pushed off by the feed shoe. Rinse and repeat. No plastic binder, much less shrinkage and no need to force the powder itself under pressure. I worked in a powdered metal factory for 8 years and machined tooling for the last 2 years there.
23:07 i spit my drink out
And again at 23:19?
I love how "the idiot check" in the beginning is so true.
The fact that that tool lived so long with no fan is incredible, honestly
I would like to drink some beer with this guy, he cracks me up. Great content, especially for people that have to know how things actually work.
“You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel”
I died 😂
Grandma got run over by a ring gear...
Kevin Cuzner lmao!
!!!
Thank you! Finally i have video proof of the fonzy, the fact that it actually works. As they say: "Experience is knowing what you can beat with a hammer and what you can not"
521 milwaukee employees didnt like this vijail. Great video with honesty and facts
I love it when you finger the tools deep with those dirty fingers.
AvE 😂😂😂
oh yeah, tear that down for our viewing *pleasure*
Greeeeasy.
AvE, Thank you for the still picture with the MS Paint highlights of the gear thingyjiggers, it is of great assastance for simple welder folk like my self.
omg I love your phases I don't know how I keep getting sucked back in
i appreciate the vijeos that you do as they actually help me in my line of work
I got the newer version of the dewalt half inch impact and I love it when it's time to work on the car. The 6ah battery gives it maximum oomph, compared to my 4ah and 2ah.it's definitely a difference in the big tool on the different batteries. Ordered a 9ah to use mostly on it. Recently acquired the Dcd991 and 791 so I need more batteries anyway. But ready to throw my dcd780 in the trash because the gear selector keeps splitting into two pieces. Going to try jb plastic weld on it first. I put it on all the corners of my batteries since they've cracked around the screw holes. It works beautifully. It can't be removed unless I grind it off there I never seen anything stick to plastic like that.
22:54 to 23:20... the definition of this amazing channel.. Thanks AvE
21:30 was the moment when I was screaming " CLEAN IT !", I bet you releasing a can of brake cleaner on the brushes will fix it.
This guy is beyond awesome.. Love the statement of lose on the hips!! Great video man!
"I do most of my thinking in my head" - AvE Great vid! That line had me in stitches!
Me too...classic.
Clean the commutator and Shim the brushes with some thick solid round copper wire between brush rigging and brushes....shade tree fix....Get Er Dun!
you gotta be an actor rather than a mechanic. your voice is really nice and clear. thanks for the video! it's really helpful.
Best video you've made in months! thanks was very informative .
"Nice big deep ball groove..." bow chicka bow wow
...
I may have been drinking.
I've been using one of these for years, only ever used it for changing the tires. Still working like a champ. Keep in mind this is a 1-2 times per year task.
Lol. I guess it's still brand new
I really liked this video. Congratulations on getting her to work again. especially with the finisheing touches being a good couple of whacks with the hammer. makin her chooch.
I also like the Microsoft paint circles and descriptions for the mis framing and more detailed explaining. I would like to see that in more of your videos. 13:44
Nice seeing someone using the DeWalt battery conversion. My old 18V batteries are all but gone.
Good job.
I almost bought a set of DeWalt cordless tools today but I wanted to look at the Milwaukee options after remembering your battery testing. I think it was on sale for $250 for a cordless drill and impact driver set, both with brushless motors, and supposedly made in the USA.
...with internationally sourced materials.
AvE-It very well could have cobalt magnets instead of neo's.Neo's have a tendency to loose strength when exposed to heat a lot more than most other mags.
I'm sat at home recovering from a hernia op and nearly split my stitches....Brilliant
You are hilarious to listen to. Best 27 minutes I've spent all week.
Exactly what kind of Chevron Schmuh is this? I want to see if can get that stuff here in Germany.
"In hammer we trust!" That's something to remember! :) I usually call this kind of hammer-on-electronics-repair "whack of pray".
Cant touch it
Entertaining as hell!!! And I think I actually learned a few things!!! Keep up the great content...
Sir you Crack me up, I love the the little thing you say when working on your projects....
Sooo... those brushes don't make good contact because the abrasive dust has glazed them over, and the dust hozed the bearings, thus making a wonky wear pattern on the brushes, thereby increasing the glazing on the brushes. When you love tapped it with a hammer, you chipped a wee bit of the glazed dust off the brushes, allowing it to reseat it's happy self on the commutator and as if by magic, she cranks over.
Replace bearings, fan, and dress the brushes with a file - and clean the whole brush assembly with a wee bath in some isoprpyl alcohol, a little tooth brush lovin, and she should be good to go.
As for how to replace the bearings? torch on the worm gear and pulley wrench I reckon would do it, but you're gonna have to redo the temper on it to make it worth anything again. And cryogenically freeze the shaft, then reheat that worm up to about 400F, and press it back on to the exact same dimmension.
Minimal repair - dress the brushes, clean the commutator, and clean the brushes after dressing them - reassemble.
Or - HAMMER TIME =)
How does the hammer go "up and over" the anvil? is there a ramp of some sorts which I am missing?
ThomasHaberkorn I was wondering the same.
ThomasHaberkorn it hits the side of the anvil, that jolt sends the hammer exactly upward enough to clear that part of the metal, then it turns 180° and does it again on the other part of the anvil. Since it has two sections to do this, both hit simultaneously and it gives a balanced force. There are vids on YT that show this force in action.
Dude, you got your own dictionary. That is the greatest accomplishment of all time!
My first shop teacher taught me how to pack a bearing by putting a dab or two of grease in my palm and scraping the edge of the bearing through the grease, squeezing it into the ballsy bits. Grade 7 or 8. The guy was/is a champ.
Was Smoking a Brisket on my stick burner and I was checking the fuel/temp... Out loud I said "I wonder if shes still a Chooch'n".. Made me laugh... Thank you for the new vocabulary.
18:38 aww you hear the big man go a little soft here while he's packing grease. having a moment?
My dad was an ironworker we have a 3/4" one I never needed. It is nice to know it is there when you do. It is a plug in one much like an old 1/2 inch one I also have. I do have a half inch pneumatic and dragging out air hoses is the only bad thing about it. Whether or not mine is a good one I do not know but it is not a Harbor Freight tool and for what little I use it for it should last forever with a drop or two of oil before use. The more I watch your channel AvE, the more my suspicions of the lack of quality control are confirmed when it comes to those super cheap Harbor Freight tools. I don't have any problem with their tools but I don't expect a precision tool or one that will last a long time if I ever dare to buy one from that place. Although I am not always using my tools I at least like the piece of mind that I might expect with a known brand of tools (not Black and Decker).
This guy has me rolling every other sentence.From what I understand from the bits and bobs I try to piece together. I still don't know what skookum is but the lord knows I'm trying.
I keep hearing a clicking in the background. you running some sorta Geiger counter back there what for stopping the govments from spying on ya?
So 100% glass fiber reinforced plastic would be a block of glass?

You could reinforce the big glass fiber with plastic
Wonderful to watch - very interesting.
Loved how it worked when you bashed it with a hammer !
I enjoy listening to smart people. It educates us more
you always make me laugh thank you I appreciate that
Off topic fluke tip, hold the yellow button down whilst turning the rotary switch from the off position and the meter will not auto shut off. Handy if you are measuring something from behind interlocks when you cannot easily access the meter. I know it's probably in the manual but who reads them.
THAKS for telling!
Love the shout out to BIW. We Mainers are awfully proud of those fellas.
Your vocabulary makes me cry tears of joy
The commutator was heavily oxidized. Use some alcohol or barkeeper's friend to clean it up and it should work like new.
AvE, can you be my weird uncle?
DeWALT lover found broken milwaukee in the garbage and decide to make a review thanks I been working with Milwaukee for over 3 years 5 days a week so I can tell you they are killing it right now the best in the market so far 👍👍👍
are you sure?
Yes I’m mechanic at a Toyota dealer,they are the best right now I tried makita, Dewalt,snap on, anything but milwaukee like I said right now they are the best in my opinion and experienced
thank you!
I have not got the foggiest what your talking about,but I stayed for the duration,and it was the most entertaining 27 minutes I have had in a long time without popping my cork.
Picked up a Will-fauck-yee oscilating cutter from the trash bin at work, just a couple of months old.
The wire from the switch to the PCB was broken right at the solderjoint, probably from metal-fatigue.
Put a new wire in and I now have a semi-crappy free tool :) even had a battery in it, and I also found a second battery.. but no charger :(
Hm.... well, a generic hobby Li-Pol charger would work, but maybe Ebay could locate a replacement.
I found a guy on the norwegian version of cragslist that has a charger, extra battery and a usb-charger-thing for sale at about 50 bucks, might be an option. But i have an rc-charger, so I might do that :)
Aleksander Øyen
As most of the battery packs have internal balancing circuits, it's definitely worth a shot. Even completely unbalanced, a couple charge cycles won't hurt anything. It will definitely charge it just fine, as long as it supports a pack with as many cells as the drill uses.
The chargers and extra battery for $50 isn't a bad deal either, considering that's probably just under the retail price of some batteries alone (depends on model).
Good luck. :D
I already had a peek inside one of the batteries M12 3ah, it is a 3S2P pack with 1500mah 18650cells.
Temp-sensor and balancing is broken out on three small pins :)
Also found out that this model is a couple of years old, probably just been taken good care of or seen little use.. :)
Aleksander Øyen
Well, that's even better news. :D

...welp, there goes another keyboard. I right dickered 'er on account of the coffee that left my blowhole and gave her the 'ol "what for" in her pokey bits. Son of a DIDDILY.
+J Gaskill lol, ya know, it figures that the first time I _ever_ do this, someone would try to ruin the fucking fun. If you think other people emulating a special thing _to the person that created that special thing_ somehow makes it _less special_, I don't know what to tell you. The guy's hilarious, and I genuinely spit coffee on a keyboard and ruined it because I'd never heard the "degrees science" shit and wasn't expecting it. Had some fun with the telling of the story to the guy, and here you are, trying to make it out like I just told you your favorite superhero hates you.
Further, how anyone can come to the conclusion that someone doesn't have "their own personality" because they emulated someone else's schtick while making a semi-humorous comment in a semi-humorous context is fucking _dumbfounding._ Hey guy whom I've never talked to, whom doesn't know me, and clearly doesn't realize this is literally the first time I've ever done this after reading comments _just like mine_ for over a year now (and getting a chuckle out of them every time): You don't know shit about me, so your judgments are unwelcome.
Get over yourself.
J Gaskill I bet AvE is copying a lot himself from others. I guess he had a mentor that he is emulating. Most of it is rhyming slang, a popular type of humour among Cockneys and their descendants, Ozzies
+Robert Whatever the jargon is, it sure is funny as hell. Sorta reminds me of aussie50, he has his own stock of phrases that are unique.
dude you took that so personal for no reason haha
AvE loves pokin' fun at us Americans across the river, or the mountain. Or ditch lol.
I have absolutely no idea what this bloke is saying most of the time and I absolutely love it
First time viewer here, man you crack me up!!!!! LOL. I think i would die of laughter hanging around you in a pub. We gotta hit the town! 🍺
"You picked a fine time to leave me Loose Wheel" LMAO
"Lightly Greased" - that was my nickname back in high school.
"Squeeze it in there until it comes out the backside" - that was my special move back in my collegiate days.
I've got the Earthquake series for a few years now. I love it! One of the better buys from HF IMO.
I like that you do most of your thinking in your head!
I just found this channel, it rocks and it's gonna help me pass some Covid time. So looking back on this video your work bench was pretty clean. Was your apprentice looking for a raise?

We are in a "if it don't work any more, throw it away and buy the new "better" model world" Parts are so damn expensive, or made impossible to change a small part, that you think twice to repair it.
Or the other side of the coin.... the things are so cheap these days in the first place that the parts SEEM expensive. 6 of one 4 of the other. Or is it the other way round?
great video. those little drawings were really useful, hope you keep adding those.
love your colorful descriptions
Any tool on the market, if it's abused, will show this end result.🤯 I take care of my tools. I can guarantee warranties of Milwaukee will cover this, Milwaukee Simply the Best.💞🇺🇸
@@santinocapone1080 yeah that's one thing the air hoses I'm glad you like them I really love the Milwaukee really good quality I agree thank you for comment
*🇨🇳🇺🇲 Milwaukee is owned and made in china by TTI, that being said they are great chinese tools with a 5 year warranty
@@fordmustangjaime Their tools are made all over the world,They just hired 1500 employees At their new Milwaukee plant?usa It's getting to be a global network There's nothing wrong with some of the Chinese goods, for sure.🔏🧰😊👍🇺🇲 they now have the rail gun!!!
did you ever clean off the commutator, no 1 problem with old RC car motors
Your linguistic genius alone is enough reason to sub!
Noticed that angled wear on the brushes, would it be possible to flip then over so the wear is facing out and the pointed part making contact? Would that be enough surface area touching or does it need to be flat as it can be?
How'd you get the impact-er so clean at 15:48? Let her soak in the parts washer? Also seems like I need to add Ulti-Plex Grease EP to my list of flavours.
I don't wanna know, I like the movie magic of him just coming back with it clean.
I heard him say "Abrasive media" which makes me think he shot blasted it, I wouldn't soak it in a parts washer tbh
Basically it's the polishing stones that are cone shaped. They roll around and polish metal parts
Hey fellow railfan😀
I’d love to see a comparison between all the different rattle guns. I work in the field and have used a lot of different guns, and I decided to buy Dewalt on the account that my home tools are dewalt, and nobody else has one so they won’t steal my batteries, but after owning them for a while I’m actually convinced they’re better than any of the other gear out there.
Hey man, three years after your comment I found it. Truth is it’s all the furgin same in the end pick your poison
@@Anonymous-ed8om haha, man that was years ago, I’ve changed my tune since then... I’ve got about 20 fucked dewalt batteries, things just fall apart, I’ve had them literally fall apart mid-bolt. the top plate stays on the tool and the rest just drops on the ground. They are not built for industrial use, they’re home/hobby tools. Milwaukee is built a lot tougher, but they just don’t seem to have the performance, that is, they consistently under-perform compared to others....
@@madaxe79 preeeecisely, no tool stands up like the red death
@@Anonymous-ed8om i fuckin’ hate Milwaukee, they really underperform. They’re the toughest out there, but their performance doesn’t match their robustness. Dewalt perform better, but they’re built weak and flimsy, pure chinesium. Makita are middle of the road, but there’s no support or service anywhere... there’s just no tool that ticks all the boxes. If Milwaukee got Dewalts motors they’d send all the other companies out of business. But they have all this one-key crap and the power setting crap. It just makes them useless in the field... and I haven’t found a Milwaukee yet, that can spin a 6mm drill bit through the breakthrough without slipping, worst chucks in the universe...
It didn't take many videos to realize this guy knows his shit. Thanks for the vids I'm addicted. Thanks for taking the time to review tools without Schilling for the corporation. Plus I just like seeing the insides of stuff...Not like dahmer inside stuff but tools insides.
Man I wish your shop or playground was close to I live. This is like a Disney land for me. This is literally what I love to do all day long.
AvE and James May colab!
Uber Goober we have the disassembler and reassembler. Perfect!
I would watch the living shit out of this!
Fucking yes
With May being so meticulous and AvE being so AvE, I'm sure it would be an interesting production.
Uber Goober Fucking Brill. but I think.AvE has turned down TV offers before, would make great TV, especially hearing AvE telling the BBC to go Fuck their hats.
Factory I used to work at used the same impacts for 2 shifts daily and they tend to last about 2 months before they burn up we also had a couple makitas that were more heavy hitting (quicker) but tend to not last as long fwiw... From the halfassery and smell I assume that the driving IC's burnt out in both impacts
Maybe but being a lowly employee I never got to have the luxury of holding the companies pocket book... all I know is you make friends with one of them and one day they're gone replaced by one who's rubber grip isn't like the others with bright red plastic :D
AvE ever tried any panasonic power tools?
AvE Don't like Hilti. Had at work 4 speed Hilti drill and it lasted for couple weeks. And other colleagues had issues with Hilti tools - died batteries, no torque on impact wrenches.
AvE I know that you don't like Metabo but I've seen a lot of contractors using Metabo tools. I asked them do they like Metabo and they are more than happy with Metabo tools.
We had panasonics on the line also, They last about a season. Not sure what model they were but they were some fancy impact with a torque setting that was set by QA with a tiny remote. Good work horse if you ask me but I assume these were purpose built just for factory environments being it had a remote and all.
Holy crap I like the way you joke and swear this is the most funny video yet I ever watched
