4:44 to answer your question, the tactile membrane switch require 2 wires that goes to the processor on the main board. The main board send 4 different channels back at the switch for the 4 modes illumination ( 4 positive + 1 negative wires ) total of 7 wires. Also, since you tested the torque while it was at the number 2 position, the machine stopped as soon as it sense a preset amount of amps on the motor. That's why it was stopping every 2 seconds. Also the last position is a sudden amperage motor draw rise detection, it will chooch until the nut makes contacts and start to tighten a bit, and it will stop. Giving you the opportunity to finish the torque application manually afterward.

That "interesting startup routine" at 11:40 is because you have it in 4th mode in reverse. What it's trying to do is apply a lot of torque in order to get a bolt moving, then backing the power right off so it doesn't immediately fly off the thread. Looks wack when you're not actually using it.

I have been using mine for about a year now. Some issues is has is you have to be very careful not to dent the back cover. The other issue it has is that it likes to get stuck in between the impact dogs, which causes it to not turn freely, which makes the soft insert function not work until you get it to pop down to the next dog, which can be annoying when putting headbolts or something in.
I bought myself a small 3/8ths impacting air ratchet from the tool truck. Works wonders in tight spots (top of the air ride bellow on our buses that you can't get in with anything else). Problem I find with the battery powered ones is the freaking battery gets in the way.
Another Great BOLTR. Been watching for some time now with my cold beer in hand. Finally got to see your channel description, perfect, and to the point. Love it.
Your using the ratchet for tight areas, where the heck are you gunna find the space to swing a hammer on some homemade piece of crap , use a bigger gun or do by hand
Your extension needs a divot so you can use it with a Air hammer and a breaker bar. Let the air hammer to the hitting with the constant force of the breaker bar.
The membrane switch is for selecting different torque levels. I don't see it ever really wearing out, since 99% of us is on full chooch. I have had the m12 3/8" impact for a couple years now and the switch has held up pretty well so far.
i had one on my m12 fuel quarter drive impact and it wore out after a few years but, i did order the replacement from millf*ki and it was inexpensive. that ones is a bit more plausible tho because sometimes tiny screws dont even need full chooch to be buggered.
@@skm9420 industrial use is wildly different from personal. My personal Makita drill looks as new as the day I bought it. The ones at my work that are used 24/7, and regularly take showers in JP-8, are in a sorry state. Those membrane switches are usually fine for personal tools. If you have three guys poking it all day though, then yeah they'll crack eventually.
Man, now I've gotta make a fancy extention like yours. Wonder how the boss will feel when I have an injury report because I sent a homemade extention through my ribcage trying to broach a square hole using the press
I'm digging the extension idea, more so really I think for slipping a wrench on to assist, with initial breakaway. If that was a no go then hammer time for sure.
@@LegoDork doesn't, it has an electric clutch that stops the second it receives negative Torque , for instance taking off lug nuts off my 2007 Dodge 1500 as soon as they break loose it stops.
Cool idea. Often when working on semi trucks we would need an “impact wrench” which was a wrench being impacted by a hammer due to a lack of room. So there is proof in the concept! I look forward to the future machining vijeo!
Break-it-happenator. Love the concept. I'm envisioning the fulcrum moved directly to a set of machined sockets. The whackit arm machined into the socket. Specialized use of course. Once you either broke it free or added the needed oomph, you'd have to move back to your regular old socket because,, clearance and stuff. But with the right strength material you could probably do quite a bit of bolt streachin or snappin.
You know what I like best of the years of watching Boltr's channel? It's the fact that I get to learn from a top quality scientist ,the esoteric and complex language of science itself. I speak of,for instance such terms as the " DODOLDEDOO" . This is just one of the plethora of such technical terms I've learned to use in my everyday language that help me explain to my customers the problems with their equipment I work on in their labs. Terms such as "Pixie, Confuser, and Corkstuffer allow me to explain in detail the size of their invoice by confusering them into not questioning me further before payment.

It has been rock solid reliable, and I even use it to rattle lug nuts on and off on smaller vehicles. ill buy another in a heartbeat when I wear this one out.

Love the percussive turk multiplier. I'd gladly trade currency to be able to house one in my toolbox. If not perhaps in the summer months I may have to cobble one together. As a rust belt wrench turner, this could help out alot
Recently I picked up a set of husky shallow impact sockets which had an odd feature they all had a hex shoulder on the input end suppose putting a box and wrench specifically One Way ratchet wrench so it doesn't bind your knuckles into the nearest jagged piece of shit when you manage to get it busted loose and that would probably make a heck of a combination
I have been looking for sockets with a hex on them. I am thinking that being able to turn with a ratchet spanner could be really useful for when space is really tight and you can get the socket in there but not the ratchet handle.
I love your Boltr series its by far my favorite tool/product tear down videos on RUclips! Makitas new 40v line up is out and I'd really like to see your tear down either the 1/2in or 3/4in 40v impact wrench!

As an elec-chicken such as your close frenemy Dewclaw I love my 3/8 version while working on electric switchboards and switchgear. Getting between the phases to tighten close to torque (mind you I check with a proper torque wrench unless it be the 11th hour, 38 hours into an 8 hour shift ) and gettin loose those bolts, at arms length, on my back, in a claustrophobic dirty hole. Works wonders. 8 of 10 from me.
AvE what you do to the Engrish language is a major contribution to the entertainment of this RUclipsr'd venue. Thanks and Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones in the Empire of Dirt.
I've got the old small version of this tool and it works great. Nobody uses these to apply significant torque, they are to get fasteners off and on quickly, without the carnage of broken little bolts. Too much torque is not good, too easy to cause harm. When my stupid brain comes to the surface, the tool looks at me and goes for coffee.
I disagree! I use the Ingersoll version that I've owned for about 10 years to remove bumper bolts on f350s all the time. Also to reinstall. I hit them like I would with a pistol impact. The ratchet style is the only one that fits though
It made my day to hear the phrase: "I didn't know whether to shit, or wind my watch." Just like dad and grandpa used to say. Much thanks...from the great state of Utah. 🇺🇸
Ave: allow me to regale you in the piss poor attributes of tactile switches. Me: hammering like a woodpecker on the semi-functioning tactile switch of the oven controls. It's like he knew....
I am liking my new Milwaukee right angle 3/8 tool. It protects my knuckles far better than my tired Snap On air ratchet ever did. Yet performs the same task and costs less. Upgrade of the “bat tree” helped a bunch.
Absolutely brilliant invention. When you wreck the bearings by radially loading them (axially? Do I look like I have a degree in scientology?) with the shock from the hammer, you create the perfect excuse to buy a new tool.
I'd buy a Make-It-Happeneator 3000, decidedly. Stick an extra wing on there for balance and Always Ultra chic, and make it so that the big pipe wrenches can get a good grip on it, and you're in business. Maybe make the square drive sections look less like they were hacked out by a drunk beaver, give it a coat of that special Chinese paint that makes it "impact rated", call it good.
It would be interesting to see how much torque you can gain by just reefing on the socket no extension A hammer and a 3/4 bud nut socket has saved many polished Alcoa truck wheels from the wrath of the fire wrench
The tactile switch also has LEDs on all the positions. Thats 5 wires for the LEDs alone, and 2 for the tactile switch. And the rest of the wires are for the power LEDs
I think the impact attacker hacker is next to useless for an impact. I have a hunch theres going to be some timing induced uselessness. However that's pure gold for a standard breaker bar or ratchet. Brilliant Watson. Perfect for those coastal suspension repairs. Might even replace the torch on those hard to bust nuts.
@4:56 Mode button - 1 blue wire Led 1- 1 white wire Led 2 - 1 green wire Led 3 - 1 yellow wire Torque mode Led - 1 orange wire Ground - 1 black wire Power V+ - 1 red wire Total of 7 wires needed 4 wires for battery meter led with common ground
When I was employed at manual labor, our impact sockets, especially in the larger sizes needed for truck wheel R&R, had dents on the side from hammer blows delivered to aid the torque delivery. That really wasn't seemly so I found some scabrous extensions that never came off a name brand tool truck in 1/2" & 3/4" and just welded on a cut off scrap of heavy mild steel plate to the shank. I clamped 'em down, did the welds and then warmed 'em back up after so as to relive some of the stresses of the weld. They worked for me but I didn't let 'em get loose in the shop for anyone else to injure themselves on. I only used 'em as needed and as a last resort; yer invent is on the right track.
i was just reading some news regarding Canada; and realized you are the only leaf i care about. Hope you and your family are doing okay through these tough times
AvE gives me the impression that his theory is related to all versions of wonder. Love the videos... Gotta order a shirt to confuse others. Thanks for the informative fun...
That looks like a nice tool, but the head size really reduces the usefulness. I see it lasting a really long time for me because I'd never bother to use it.
5:04min- that switch looks that it would have 4 separate leds around it for selection choice and you have the input/output of the switch, so I see use for 6 the wires and the 7th could be ground. 19:10min- recheck 14:08min becuase selection led is saying #2 21:19min- you figer it out I like the brute force extention
Ive had mine for a few months now. I noticed something strange about this one tho...you can not manually turn a bolt with it. It spins freely in both directions at all times. Not sure if you covered this as i am only 5 minutes in...lol. Ah well.
@@hemigodre makes sense. never even thought of it. Was thinking more along the lines of the other electric ratchets. Completely different animal tho...youre right.
The problem I always have with the "right angle" impacts is that it assumes you don't already own all the extensions, wobbles, and adapters to be 6 feet away from whatever it is you hate so much that it needs to be impacted. Add to that that not a single one of them is worth their weight or space in the box seems like a lost confusion between marketing and engineers, when neither has used or seen used their own tools.
That's odd your tactile switch doesn't light up on the setting. My Wilfuckyee stubby illuminates on the setting it's set to, underneath the number itself (so ye don't have to use the ear to guess at the setting). That's also the reason for the thickness of that board (the LEDs live in there). I'm wondering if one of the connections got cut. At leas that's the way things are on the island of Torquay.
But wait… if you go over bumps fast enough with an overloaded front end loader you can actually raise to heavy a load….. similar idea in different use.
I found this doesn't have the same jam as the compact stubby impact, but is still useful for some of those hard to reach places. If you're just occasionally weekend wrenching, it's probably not worth buying. I got mine as a gift, so the price was right!
I love the compact stubby. I'm a powersports tech and it can do everything I need done with ease. The lower power settings and assembly setting are great as well.

Dont buy it, shitty tool. I had to return mine as it couldn't remove a lug nut off my car
It made my day to hear the phrase:
"I didn't know whether to shit, or wind my watch."
Just like dad and grandpa used to say.
Much thanks...from the great state of Utah. 🇺🇸
That's a handy little extension I'd be happy have.Its a hell of an idea.
Ave: allow me to regale you in the piss poor attributes of tactile switches.
Me: hammering like a woodpecker on the semi-functioning tactile switch of the oven controls.
It's like he knew....
I am liking my new Milwaukee right angle 3/8 tool. It protects my knuckles far better than my tired Snap On air ratchet ever did. Yet performs the same task and costs less.
Upgrade of the “bat tree” helped a bunch.
Absolutely brilliant invention. When you wreck the bearings by radially loading them (axially? Do I look like I have a degree in scientology?) with the shock from the hammer, you create the perfect excuse to buy a new tool.
Love seeing a video longer than 3 minutes show up on my feed from the Empire of Dirt!
I'd buy a Make-It-Happeneator 3000, decidedly. Stick an extra wing on there for balance and Always Ultra chic, and make it so that the big pipe wrenches can get a good grip on it, and you're in business. Maybe make the square drive sections look less like they were hacked out by a drunk beaver, give it a coat of that special Chinese paint that makes it "impact rated", call it good.
If you’re going to all that trouble why not just use a breaker bar?
It's like science went on three day bender.
Great idea! It saves on the mini torch set.
You had it set to 2, when it was shutting off on you... You can clearly see the 2 lit up. Thank You for finally reviewing this tool.
It would be interesting to see how much torque you can gain by just reefing on the socket no extension
A hammer and a 3/4 bud nut socket has saved many polished Alcoa truck wheels from the wrath of the fire wrench
The tactile switch also has LEDs on all the positions. Thats 5 wires for the LEDs alone, and 2 for the tactile switch. And the rest of the wires are for the power LEDs
I think the impact attacker hacker is next to useless for an impact. I have a hunch theres going to be some timing induced uselessness. However that's pure gold for a standard breaker bar or ratchet. Brilliant Watson. Perfect for those coastal suspension repairs. Might even replace the torch on those hard to bust nuts.
I use mine for suspension work all the time and yes its wonky but not having to try and fit my normal impact wrench in tight spots is awesome
The other wires going to the membrane switch are probably for the lights that light up to show which torque level you're on.
You must not have watched the whole video
Someone commented before finishing the video...
Ooooooooooops
@4:56
Mode button - 1 blue wire
Led 1- 1 white wire
Led 2 - 1 green wire
Led 3 - 1 yellow wire
Torque mode Led - 1 orange wire
Ground - 1 black wire
Power V+ - 1 red wire
Total of 7 wires needed
4 wires for battery meter led with common ground
Just what I was thinking when he was confused about all the wires. Multiple leds!
You have a clever plan. That wack assist is great idea.
Insightful as always. Thank you AVE
Wings on both sides so it's at least balanced when the bolt breaks loose and the extension spins up like a blender.
When I was employed at manual labor, our impact sockets, especially in the larger sizes needed for truck wheel R&R, had dents on the side from hammer blows delivered to aid the torque delivery. That really wasn't seemly so I found some scabrous extensions that never came off a name brand tool truck in 1/2" & 3/4" and just welded on a cut off scrap of heavy mild steel plate to the shank. I clamped 'em down, did the welds and then warmed 'em back up after so as to relive some of the stresses of the weld. They worked for me but I didn't let 'em get loose in the shop for anyone else to injure themselves on. I only used 'em as needed and as a last resort; yer invent is on the right track.
Too much power in the hands of the uninitiated
i was just reading some news regarding Canada; and realized you are the only leaf i care about.
Hope you and your family are doing okay through these tough times
AvE gives me the impression that his theory is related to all versions of wonder. Love the videos... Gotta order a shirt to confuse others. Thanks for the informative fun...
I'd buy that extension. I'd add a magnetic frame cutout to go over the hitting wing to hold a photo of choice what for aiming.
the amount of hammering is likely to mess up the magnets, though.
@@stanimir4197 One could engrave a "bullseye" of some sort...
Did anyone notice he had it on "2" on the switch?
Those positions relate to the amount of torque the gun puts out. That could skew the numbers.
The Torque Test Channel tested this one. It was disappointing. A similar Kobalt crushed it.
I like your basher torque amplifier invention.
First time long time, looking forward to this video.
That looks like a nice tool, but the head size really reduces the usefulness. I see it lasting a really long time for me because I'd never bother to use it.
I bought one out of pure compulsion, and the only time I needed it, it didn’t have the torque required for the job. Nice tool though.
5:04min- that switch looks that it would have 4 separate leds around it for selection choice and you have the input/output of the switch, so I see use for 6 the wires and the 7th could be ground.
19:10min- recheck 14:08min becuase selection led is saying #2
21:19min- you figer it out
I like the brute force extention
I like that idea!
great video! thanks for all you do AvE
Ive had mine for a few months now. I noticed something strange about this one tho...you can not manually turn a bolt with it. It spins freely in both directions at all times. Not sure if you covered this as i am only 5 minutes in...lol. Ah well.
You can't with an impact gun either. The dogs need to spin quickly to impart torque.
@@hemigodre makes sense. never even thought of it. Was thinking more along the lines of the other electric ratchets. Completely different animal tho...youre right.
The problem I always have with the "right angle" impacts is that it assumes you don't already own all the extensions, wobbles, and adapters to be 6 feet away from whatever it is you hate so much that it needs to be impacted. Add to that that not a single one of them is worth their weight or space in the box seems like a lost confusion between marketing and engineers, when neither has used or seen used their own tools.
You're just the best man!
Rainman ray bought one and he's using it in most of his videos.a real handy wrench.ive had one for a year.
That's odd your tactile switch doesn't light up on the setting. My Wilfuckyee stubby illuminates on the setting it's set to, underneath the number itself (so ye don't have to use the ear to guess at the setting). That's also the reason for the thickness of that board (the LEDs live in there). I'm wondering if one of the connections got cut.
At leas that's the way things are on the island of Torquay.
But wait… if you go over bumps fast enough with an overloaded front end loader you can actually raise to heavy a load….. similar idea in different use.
I love the heavy hitter idea! Engage safety squints and go to town. Would be huge for breaking loose some bolts!
That extension is a great idea. Put me down for 3 of them when production starts.
That opening was far too gentle...
Are you softening up around the holidays?
Another great one for the books boys . That is a great lit bulb for the wheel figuring you have there for added purchase and raw grunt .
That extension is a great idea
Holy crap. The timing of that open package.. I had to go back and rewatch. I almost missed it. Jeezlus.
Love your details on taking stuff apart properly or not depending on what it is
Merry Christmas
Great idea.
Any little bit counts when your in the middle of nowhere!
🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼😎🍀🍀🍀🎅🏻
Been waiting for this one !!
The Canadian one-liners got me in stitches.
I would pay for a subscription to watch you and Vice Grip Garage work on trucks
I found this doesn't have the same jam as the compact stubby impact, but is still useful for some of those hard to reach places. If you're just occasionally weekend wrenching, it's probably not worth buying. I got mine as a gift, so the price was right!
I love the compact stubby. I'm a powersports tech and it can do everything I need done with ease. The lower power settings and assembly setting are great as well.
Makes Thurs feel like a Friday night.
been a minute Thanx Fer the stickers an the cave man TV
