Right. I have gen 2 mid torque which is plenty but also the half in high torque. Don't think I'll ever need 1400 ft lbs or whatever it is but I have it. This for me is like having a Ferrari that can't go over 50mph

I have the 3/4" Milwaukee impact in my semi for changing tires on the road myself. The 1" doesn't seem a whole lot quicker on the lugnuts, but taking that yoke nut off was impressive.
I’m thinking to buy Milwaukee 1 “ only for Lugnuts to change my tires on my semi truck, shall I go ahead with 3/4” for this particular purpose? Will it have enough power to get it done?
The power of Milwaukee tools is unquestionable. My tools had gone through dust, rain, fall off my ladder and they still performing like the first day, just charge and go. Thank you for the good video
Ive got a 1/2 in one and a older 3/4 in one. The new 1/2 does 1,400ft lbs off and 1,000 on and the 3/4 does 1,200 off and 1,000 on, you have to be careful and use a torque stick if you can, then check it with a torque wrench
Yup, most people don't understand torque specs are not only to keep the bolt from coming off. The purpose of getting a proper torque spec is to reduce the repeated load on a fastener which leads to fatigue failures.
@@elguajacodeguajaka6722 yeah, I did it as an O/O locally while going to college full time but now I’m also an electrical engineer and took a a few metallurgy classes, believe me even though I worked 70-80hrs a week and went to class 15 hrs a week I still payed attention.
I bought one of those also (Milwaukee 1/2 Fuel, 1400 ft lb.) and couldn't remove the lug nuts on a small car. They were torqued to 95 ft lbs. I like Milwaukee and wanted to be impressed. Instead I was disgusted with it.
“We’re going to use this random truck in the parking lot, I don’t know the last time these were taken off” *is the cleanest truck in the parking lot with brand new tires*
That yoke nut tho. I think that is the toughest nut to break on a truck that I have ran into. I’ve had to soak with PB blaster or wd40 over night and bang on it with a 1” air gun like the one on the video for a long time to Get it off. Very impressed
Air is always more powerful. The Milwaukee is much easier to carry around and alot lighter. I work on the the railroads and I love the Milwaukee. Me and my co workers were tired of carrying that big ass hose around
After removing lug nuts on four semi trailer wheels and reinstalling them it was already cutting out due to over heating, (keep in mind, it had time to cool off in the shade while tires were getting swapped) so air guns aren't dead just yet.
bahopik everyone thinks that it works one day and ingersol is going to run and hide lol Let’s see how this holds up after a year of shop truck road call duty. My bet is one every two months.
B K yea I'm a diesel mechanic and it sucks changing wheel studs because that's a new wheel seal and all that but I gotta say that I'm impressed with the tool no doubt
Who needs fancy packaging when the real treat is the product itself! Just got the M12 Drill/Driver, Impact Driver, and cordless Ratchet combo today! Nothing but power!
The 1" air impact is stronger but the cordless is still impressive. The anvil on the air is probably twice as big, you can hear the difference the air one makes a lower pitched noise so more mass, the milwaukee is relying on speed to achieve harder impact which would also wear down the components faster.
Also, by what I hear in the air impact gun, the speed control on the air impact seems to be turned down somewhat, compared to if the speed control was maxed out.
i am impressed...i was a truck mechanic for 25 yrs and i have seen wheels put on with 1 inch guns all the time and 1200 ft lbs...really pissed me off because I used a torque stick on every lug and most are 450-500 ft lbs...i have spent hours taking off lug in my life and I had some of the best air tools in the market...I would have given this tool a real test over the yrs between lugs and U-bolts and see if it could last long term....battery tools were just arriving in the market when i got out but obviously they have come a long way...i missed it, how much for this bad boy????
For a home garage, my dad was an ex-diesel tech, used only air tools, me having to use an air compressor from time to time to fix my car or some blades, air tools works best in my scenario. At my work, all I need is the tool itself, use the company's M18 batteries and presto.
For those who don't know. Milwaukee has a gigantic D handle 1"impact with 2k ftlbs of breaking power. Long anvil and short. I have the short anvil and I love it.
Just bought this and the m12 ratchet. The impact is no joke. I just wonder how many charges the battery can cy me but your video is spot on and accurate. It's a BEAST.

Doing cylinder work track jobs and rotators on booms and excavators I take my air out the Milwaukee is a badass gun but it cannot beat on a bolt as long as an air impact can
@@freedomfox8183 I agree having the batteries is nice but now I have to change them and charge them in the truck instead of just grabbing my Airline out of the truck to do a hard big job the cordless impacts are really nice for simple fast jobs
Happy to hear “good buddy Mark’s” voice in the video. Miss seeing all your buddies from home helping you out. Glad things are looking up for you though.
I run the car maintenance RUclips channel in Korea. I'm always learning such a great ideas on your channel. I hope we have a chance to be together. Thank you.
I've been using the 2 year oldish half inch drive Milwaukee with friction ring on the anvil...holy hell the power that thing has, I don't miss the air line. I work as an automotive and light truck tech full time. Even the 3.8s impact is a touch NUTS!
@@nbrowser i agree milwaukee its coming with great impacts, my brother said one day that battery impacts was not good at all, but when he use my 2864 3/4 inch he was like oh shit this is powerful
@@nbrowser is the convenience that great compared to air tools? I know battery powered tools have come a long way. But it takes forever to charge a 5.0+ amp hour battery. They were using an 8.0. batteries are not cheap and often overlooked when purchasing tools. And they're also a consumable item. Batteries do die. They lose power and eventually fail to hold a charge. That's how these tool companies make their money now. I'm battery sales. I'm not a mechanic, but if my shop has air, I would prefer air. I wouldn't go and instantly change all my air tools for battery either.
I have both these guns and did my own test on Budd nuts on school busses that wouldn't come off after we were compelled to turn the air down at the compressor, now I really love Milwaukee but it was never the winner, the winner is usually a smaller new gun with a new snap-on impact socket or the hand crank version (both of which are subject to self destruction), my Ken Tool 4way with Jack stand support just bent the length of pipe I was jumping on, my Milwaukee 3/4 gun was just as strong as the 1inch but eventually self destructed (but was warranted) would have to say that there is no comparison between the two with the air being the winner and the cordless filling a niche. I'm glad you made the video for comparison Thank You.
Wonder if that pneumatic impact had been oiled, took me a few years to figure out that not only do you oil it in the little hole to oil the insides But you also have to oil it daily for optimal performance through where you hook up the air line. When i did that the 1/2" Blue Point impact i had started blowing sparks off larger 2" nuts, way more power was being made from a 85psi air line. The thing is now 15+ years old going just as strong as when i first got it, but to think the first 2-3 years i never thought of it lol.
Heh, well having worked as a mechanic for a plywood yard on the semi's; couple stretched bolts in about the least of your worries. Different world and 1000lbs is a bit normal. Maintenance was "ahem" sometimes reallllyy bad, the stuff is built for heavy mileage. We used to put a 6 foot iron pipe on a 1 inch breaker bar and jump on the end to loosen some of the LUGs. This was back during the days of split rims, then you would rip tire off and hope the split didnt decide to go kablowie. First tire wasnt bad; the second one the split (and your possible imminent demise) was staring you in face.
Gonna keep my air tools around for another 60 years. Cordless is great but you cant beat the old school air tools. They just hold up and work and you never need to charge them.
I’m not trying to sound rude but I want you to know what you’re talking about and every reply on this is so far from being correct and it’s bothering me It’s obvious that none of you know a lot about these trucks and I would rather you just say that instead of getting on here acting like you know what’s going on because when someone gets on here looking to learn from these posts you’re all giving them BS and packaging the BS as truth but the truth is none of you have any idea what you’re talking about and it just sounds crazy to those of us who really know what we’re talking about, you’re embarrassing yourself Nothing wrong with not understanding all of this, we all had to learn, but you have to get hands on with these trucks so you don’t continue to look like fools
peace out If you’re working on your own truck I would seriously advise you to have a real mechanic to go behind you, just for safety sake because it seems that you just need to put the time in so you can understand more and know what you’re talking about because it’s clear you don’t
FYI, you will not strip the bolt or nut by overtightening the lug nut on the lug bolt. You actually stretch the lug bolt and it will sheer off once you pass a certain torque that exceeds the engineering of the bolt. I've seen it many times, even with 1/2" impact wrenches. Usually happens when the grease monkey has the wrench set incorrectly to "righty tighty" instead of "lefty loosey" when trying to remove the lug nuts.
Thank you for your totally unbiased review, as indicated by the 100 or so links to Amazon to purchase Milwaukee tools. Certainly there was no financial gain to be had for your commercia... I mean, review. You need to watch Project Farm's channel and take notes, dude.
I just saw one of these at the farm store today and was wondering how it would perform. I had gotten a 1/2" impact 6mo ago and have been impressed with it. I was one of the old school cordless..ha..good luck with that until the last couple of years then I got my hand on my first Milwaukee . My 1"air seems to have grown legs and walked off and was debating buying another but I seem to need one while out on the road more than when I'm on home time. With one of these I'd be willing to take the weight and mount my spare on a rim. Not only will it last longer and not fill with road debris, I know it would hold air b4 it was mounted on the side of the road. Plus I would have time to get to the tire shop of my choice and not sit on the side of the road for hours on end for an extorting bill. There is no cost saving better than having the tools available out on the road and going cordless has made my life so much easier and willing to tackle some jobs in oddball places I normally wouldn't consider. Last week I was taking a truck out for a shakedown run, 2 air bags were leaking, 1 on each axle. Stopped by peterbilt got 4 bags, and all hardware. Home depot to get air line caps. (Cap 1 axle and use the othe as a Jack to make room for the bags) replaced all 4 in just over an hour including clean up in the parking lot at the reciever and still got a good sleep in. (Used the good ol PC to bobtail to ts for shower n dinner.) As a side note..the heavier impacts will tend to break nuts free faster even with a lower torque because of the heavier anvils used. 5lb sledge vs 1lb....both will do the job....one just has to wor( harder and faster to do it in the same time or just take the time needed.
I work in a foundry with very large and powerful machines. A bolt requiring a 3” socket is a common thing. That Milwaukee impact is no joke. Hit the threads with Kroil, let it set a few minutes, then the impact. She smokes and she screams, fights you every turn, but off it comes.
One of the coolest features of this gun is the way the battery clips in it’s designed with bumpers in it and it’s a little loose so it can vibrate but the battery never comes loose
Of coarse they used a prehistoric air impact that's probably never been oiled and runing on like 80-90 P.S.I of air.. and god knows how many restrictions in the lines
I've used the 1/2 in drive just to dick around on the master link bolts on a JD 750k dozer lil basterd actually backed 2 of the 4 off pretty sure this one might pull off an undercarriage.
My Ingersoll Rand 7150 cordless 1/2 inch Drive impact has 1150 foot-pounds of reverse torque. It's a 20 volt I use it for automobiles. I agree that the cordless game is taking over air tools, only thing is air tools are much smaller and get into tighter spaces.
every video ive seen shows this impact doing a wheel or so. how is the battery going to hold up to a steer and 3 drive axles. how about a couple of trailer axles after that? i think this would be great for changing a tire in the field, but ill keep my air impact in the shop. i have run every 1/2 battery operated impact over the years in the oilfield, my air 1/2 still out performs them.
I work at a Honda dealer and each time we take off the harmonic balancers we use a 1inch air impact and are compressor went out and there are four cordless impacts ones a newer Milwaukee(5 month) Matco(1 year old) and Snap on(2 month old) one and my 3 year old Dewalt (all 1/2 inch ) and none of them but dewalt removed it all of them where fully charged
Dang that things got some ludicrous power! Watching this video brings back memories of when I had an entry level mechanic job at an excavation company. That shit was hard as hell. I took a 2 year college diesel program to start off at $11 an hour greasing dump trucks. I quit after only a year to go work construction. I think if youre short and stocky its not a bad career, but if your tall and skinny youll hurt your back too easy like I did.
I sure wouldn’t want that to be my truck you over tightened the living crap out of it those studs are junk. Great video though that’s one impressive tool
Lol. Deboss did his vid first. But I like Greg's video better. Except I kind of felt sorry for the lug nut. That they probably stretched trying to get it to stop tightening with the air impact 😂
Hey Greg nice video. The gun seems pretty impressive. I’d like to see you try it on something that my pneumatic 1” has a tough time with and that’s an outrigger ram piston nut/bolt (depending on the make) on a backhoe. I usually have to heat them up to break the locktite. Travis
I hope I don't catch grown men working on my truck playing with their tools and using it as a test subject. Beyond that thanks for the video. I'm buying one
*I just bought the Dewalt 899 1/2 impact on offerup with 6ah battery and fast charger for $200 and it's a beast impact but this Milwaukee is obviously more powerful so if the 899 starts to struggle the Milwaukee will be my next purchase.*
I use cordless Milwaukee impacts 1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2” and 3/4” for my 3500, 4500 and 5500 construction maintenance and I must say I’ve only used my 3/4 drive once…. I have trucks full of cordless Milwaukee and DeWalt tools I hardly use my air compressors any more
Sure it can do it, but it sounds like tin can full of rocks and takes 4x as long vs a proper pneumatic. Not saying it isn't neat, but I think we're just more impressed that it can actually do it and that there's no hose rather than anything else. Give it a few years of refinement, then maybe it will be equal to a pneumatic.
To be fair, they seem to but the lugs on at full power, like they should only be on at 470 ft/lbs, this gun shouldn't struggle if they put shit on right. I can rip big lugs off with my 1/2in impact like nothing
Even though I'm just a hobby mechanic so I have no revenue on tools, and I'm derinitely not financially well set - I live above the arctic circle. Most of our roads are either flowing lakes of magnesium chloride 5 months of the year and along the coast there's a lot of NaCl that makes its way into the air downpour the rest of the year. So when working on mostly 20 year old cars, if it's not rusted off it's rusted solid. I've been doing everything by hand tools up until 6 months ago. Because of a shoulder injury, Infigured it was time to get an impact gun (no space for large enough compressor). While for me, wicked expensive (about equiv. 850 USD around these parts), I took the advice of a friend "buy once, buy the" biggest" you can afford) - and got the 1/2" High torque Fuel/onekey from Milwaukee. Never looked back - this thing is amazing. And it works really well even when so cold outside it could freeze the balls of a moose. I was about to get the non onekey model for ~65 USD less - but ultimately decided against it, thinking the newer onekey model was probably a little refined in other aspects too. But boy, am I glad I did. Being able to program torque and speed curves (independently!), hqve 4 of them on the ugaduggah at a time, but as many as I want in the app and cycling that to the machine taking like 5 seconds with the app... Man. This thing isn't just stupidly powerful. It's impressively versatile. Only a few years ago, just about any really useful uggaduggah-gun meant a big compressor, hoses, an on-off trigger and a fwd/rev toggle. Now we have this. Its a glorious time to be alive, for all powertool-wielders.
Great for a home shop or portable mechanic for sure. Shop owners for cost and long haul reliability I think Air tools are the standard honestly. I’m all for the new line of battery driven hand tools, but air is king! :)
Damn that's got some serious power behind that and by watching this video this makes me want to really go out and by one of these bad boys because I do have tuff problems breaking off hub nuts on vehicles that have never been removed in so long
This is really incredible because I’ve done this kind of work and you really need tons of power to open these rusted nuts. Milwaukee is just amazing! I really can’t believe it! 😆
I have the 1/2 inch and its a beast. Only on my US school bus wheel nits it has no chance. Im relictant to buy the 1 inch and wait a year for the tech to improve even more.
I’ve run into some water bottle caps that could use this thing
Lol
😂
I can give you some tips that make it so that make it so that bottles arent as big of an issue

You are overtightening those lug nuts. That stretches and weakens the studs setting up a future failure. There is a reason for torque specs.

@@MsBAYOU it can if you got enough batteries .. I got 9 or 10 good batteries for work .. I'm sure people with more serious jobs have alot more
@@freedomfox8183 I agree having the batteries is nice but now I have to change them and charge them in the truck instead of just grabbing my Airline out of the truck to do a hard big job the cordless impacts are really nice for simple fast jobs
That can reverse the earths spin to take us back in time.
Happy to hear “good buddy Mark’s” voice in the video. Miss seeing all your buddies from home helping you out. Glad things are looking up for you though.
I run the car maintenance RUclips channel in Korea. I'm always learning such a great ideas on your channel. I hope we have a chance to be together. Thank you.
Now kish.
카맨형 여기서 뵙는군요 ㅎㅎ
“The” lol
Nice channel btw
now im watching in subtitles lol
All I can say is damn... I hate pulling out the hose and air tools that really is a game changer as a mechanic..
I've been using the 2 year oldish half inch drive Milwaukee with friction ring on the anvil...holy hell the power that thing has, I don't miss the air line. I work as an automotive and light truck tech full time. Even the 3.8s impact is a touch NUTS!
@@nbrowser i agree milwaukee its coming with great impacts, my brother said one day that battery impacts was not good at all, but when he use my 2864 3/4 inch he was like oh shit this is powerful
I've got the 1/2 impact of theirs and a battery operated grease gun been pretty happy with them.
I do agree , i own the 3/4 2864 model and been very happy with it,,
@@nbrowser is the convenience that great compared to air tools? I know battery powered tools have come a long way. But it takes forever to charge a 5.0+ amp hour battery. They were using an 8.0. batteries are not cheap and often overlooked when purchasing tools. And they're also a consumable item. Batteries do die. They lose power and eventually fail to hold a charge. That's how these tool companies make their money now. I'm battery sales.
I'm not a mechanic, but if my shop has air, I would prefer air. I wouldn't go and instantly change all my air tools for battery either.
I have both these guns and did my own test on Budd nuts on school busses that wouldn't come off after we were compelled to turn the air down at the compressor, now I really love Milwaukee but it was never the winner, the winner is usually a smaller new gun with a new snap-on impact socket or the hand crank version (both of which are subject to self destruction), my Ken Tool 4way with Jack stand support just bent the length of pipe I was jumping on, my Milwaukee 3/4 gun was just as strong as the 1inch but eventually self destructed (but was warranted) would have to say that there is no comparison between the two with the air being the winner and the cordless filling a niche. I'm glad you made the video for comparison Thank You.
Unbelievable!! Well done Milwaukee!! To be able to break that yolk nut it loose. That takes some torque
They are between 700-1000 ftlbs , the 1/2in 2767 takes those off. Just did one last week
I'm not that impressed
@@kwmiked bullshit.. not any ones on good.. you'd be torching the shit out of it with something smaller or it's not on for shit
Milwaukee ones again
SRAD_AJ _ the Milwaukee high output 1/2 inch impact is rated for 1400 ft Lbs nut busting torque, so I could see it being possible.
I want one to add to my collection of tools I DON'T USE.
NewYorkBlack youngotta at least take the tires off your own vehicle before you put it away for months!!
Lol me too.
Wonder if that pneumatic impact had been oiled, took me a few years to figure out that not only do you oil it in the little hole to oil the insides But you also have to oil it daily for optimal performance through where you hook up the air line. When i did that the 1/2" Blue Point impact i had started blowing sparks off larger 2" nuts, way more power was being made from a 85psi air line. The thing is now 15+ years old going just as strong as when i first got it, but to think the first 2-3 years i never thought of it lol.
So these random trucks have some odd stretched studs and lugs torqued to like 1000ft lbs
Turned 😂🤣 I’m dead 😵
Heh, well having worked as a mechanic for a plywood yard on the semi's; couple stretched bolts in about the least of your worries. Different world and 1000lbs is a bit normal. Maintenance was "ahem" sometimes reallllyy bad, the stuff is built for heavy mileage.
We used to put a 6 foot iron pipe on a 1 inch breaker bar and jump on the end to loosen some of the LUGs. This was back during the days of split rims, then you would rip tire off and hope the split didnt decide to go kablowie. First tire wasnt bad; the second one the split (and your possible imminent demise) was staring you in face.
I wouldn't be surprised to see that front wheel fly right off that truck while it's going down the road.
@@Aerogrow Very scary times. I have personally seen a split ring launch off of a rim at a velocity that would have killed anyone in it's path.
More like 450. Ft ibs...
Gonna keep my air tools around for another 60 years. Cordless is great but you cant beat the old school air tools. They just hold up and work and you never need to charge them.
but You need charge air tank eaither whit fuel or electicity
& never have weak batteries that won’t keep charged.
@Joseph Quīnque I use air guns they are 110% reliable no battery shit
My 1/2" Milwaukee beat a 1" pneumatic air gun. You really need to give them a chance.
I'm here Crying/dying laughing how he really is Destroying the heck out of those random Wheel Studs 😂😂😂🤦🏽♂️
@CAPTAIN DABBIN
We will here about a trucker losing a wheel on the road
On steer axles tsk tsk.
I’m not trying to sound rude but I want you to know what you’re talking about and every reply on this is so far from being correct and it’s bothering me
It’s obvious that none of you know a lot about these trucks and I would rather you just say that instead of getting on here acting like you know what’s going on because when someone gets on here looking to learn from these posts you’re all giving them BS and packaging the BS as truth but the truth is none of you have any idea what you’re talking about and it just sounds crazy to those of us who really know what we’re talking about, you’re embarrassing yourself
Nothing wrong with not understanding all of this, we all had to learn, but you have to get hands on with these trucks so you don’t continue to look like fools
CAPTAIN DABBIN
Did you mean break instead of brake?
peace out
If you’re working on your own truck I would seriously advise you to have a real mechanic to go behind you, just for safety sake because it seems that you just need to put the time in so you can understand more and know what you’re talking about because it’s clear you don’t
Do you even know how much torque you're applying when tightening them? It kinda matters.
@MONSTER ENERGYDRINKS has
had mine for over 6 month and its still running strong !
You all just killed the value of those studs and nuts. Good job
FYI, you will not strip the bolt or nut by overtightening the lug nut on the lug bolt. You actually stretch the lug bolt and it will sheer off once you pass a certain torque that exceeds the engineering of the bolt. I've seen it many times, even with 1/2" impact wrenches. Usually happens when the grease monkey has the wrench set incorrectly to "righty tighty" instead of "lefty loosey" when trying to remove the lug nuts.
Impressive impact though I was cringing watching you guys over torque those lug nuts on those poor studs. 😬😲
Definitely true on that especially on that aluminum rim
Right I used to work in a shop and if I was doing that I would get my ass chewed haha 😂
i wish one would have stripped would have been entertaining
Most cordless impact guns will only tighten to 100nm.
@@tra6ic741 probably did they just said edit lmao
Watching these videos makes me proud to be a Milwaukee share holder ☺
I feel like air power tools will never be replaced in a body shop
Yeah electric is cheaper
@@ljguy300 Really? You call $1000 cheep? Sorry no, I would spend $300 to $400 on a air drive before buying this cordless impact.
@@bigdave46148 That cost doesnt include the massive compressor to run the air tool
@@DMAN22yeah You're right. For 4 to 5 hundred dollars, you get the compressor that can run the 1 inch impact and other air tools you own.
@@bigdave46148 $400 air driven + $500 for decent compressor = the $900 spent on this one tool.....Just saying.
Thank you for your totally unbiased review, as indicated by the 100 or so links to Amazon to purchase Milwaukee tools. Certainly there was no financial gain to be had for your commercia... I mean, review.
You need to watch Project Farm's channel and take notes, dude.
project farm is the truth dude
I just saw one of these at the farm store today and was wondering how it would perform. I had gotten a 1/2" impact 6mo ago and have been impressed with it. I was one of the old school cordless..ha..good luck with that until the last couple of years then I got my hand on my first Milwaukee .
My 1"air seems to have grown legs and walked off and was debating buying another but I seem to need one while out on the road more than when I'm on home time. With one of these I'd be willing to take the weight and mount my spare on a rim. Not only will it last longer and not fill with road debris, I know it would hold air b4 it was mounted on the side of the road. Plus I would have time to get to the tire shop of my choice and not sit on the side of the road for hours on end for an extorting bill.
There is no cost saving better than having the tools available out on the road and going cordless has made my life so much easier and willing to tackle some jobs in oddball places I normally wouldn't consider. Last week I was taking a truck out for a shakedown run, 2 air bags were leaking, 1 on each axle. Stopped by peterbilt got 4 bags, and all hardware. Home depot to get air line caps. (Cap 1 axle and use the othe as a Jack to make room for the bags) replaced all 4 in just over an hour including clean up in the parking lot at the reciever and still got a good sleep in. (Used the good ol PC to bobtail to ts for shower n dinner.)
As a side note..the heavier impacts will tend to break nuts free faster even with a lower torque because of the heavier anvils used. 5lb sledge vs 1lb....both will do the job....one just has to wor( harder and faster to do it in the same time or just take the time needed.
Can't Believe you were able to crack the yoke nut, very impressive, I was not impressed with you stressing the treads on the lug nut studs.
Good way to crack an aluminum wheel
I agree, I was waiting on it 😂😂 who knows might be
Amen ur right
🤣 I was waiting for that too. Driver comes back my wheel is cracked wonder what happened.
Wow!!!! Good job Milwaukee!!!! You guys have raised the bar. No doubt about it!!! Made in AMERICA!!!!! YEAH!!!!!
Greg is killing it with the vids this week
I work in a foundry with very large and powerful machines. A bolt requiring a 3” socket is a common thing. That Milwaukee impact is no joke. Hit the threads with Kroil, let it set a few minutes, then the impact. She smokes and she screams, fights you every turn, but off it comes.
What do you torque your lug nuts to?🤔 Oh you know about 1500 ft/lbs😂🤷♂️
About 100 ugga duggas.
Reccomend no more than 475ftlbs but some company's go as far as 550ftlbs on semi lugs
lance hobbs I've seen 600! Lol
@@wingwawootong986 now that's just asking for issues LOL
Lol
One of the coolest features of this gun is the way the battery clips in it’s designed with bumpers in it and it’s a little loose so it can vibrate but the battery never comes loose
12:00 stretching the threads,better change that stud,or broken bolts down the road for sure!
The D ring actually comes in really handy I wouldn’t dump it especially if you plan on taking off a lot of tires on big trucks
Try replacing the undercarriage on a dozer or excavator with it. Also the tire gun had a 8in anvil
Of coarse they used a prehistoric air impact that's probably never been oiled and runing on like 80-90 P.S.I of air.. and god knows how many restrictions in the lines
I've used the 1/2 in drive just to dick around on the master link bolts on a JD 750k dozer lil basterd actually backed 2 of the 4 off pretty sure this one might pull off an undercarriage.
My Ingersoll Rand 7150 cordless 1/2 inch Drive impact has 1150 foot-pounds of reverse torque. It's a 20 volt I use it for automobiles. I agree that the cordless game is taking over air tools, only thing is air tools are much smaller and get into tighter spaces.
every video ive seen shows this impact doing a wheel or so. how is the battery going to hold up to a steer and 3 drive axles. how about a couple of trailer axles after that? i think this would be great for changing a tire in the field, but ill keep my air impact in the shop. i have run every 1/2 battery operated impact over the years in the oilfield, my air 1/2 still out performs them.
I've been using milwaukee cordless tools for several years now at my shop and they are bad ass ! my guys cont believe how strong those guns are.
7:35 is when the test starts. Enjoy!!!!!!
This tool is awesome, I use it on timing covers and valve covers all the time!
tHESE GUYS AREN'T PLAYING ON MY TRUCK!!!
relax let the buffalo fart it's for video purpose only duhh !!
I'm in the union, currently working on a bridge on the pa turnpike and the iron workers use this when bolting everything together for the bridge
I work at a Honda dealer and each time we take off the harmonic balancers we use a 1inch air impact and are compressor went out and there are four cordless impacts ones a newer Milwaukee(5 month) Matco(1 year old) and Snap on(2 month old) one and my 3 year old Dewalt (all 1/2 inch ) and none of them but dewalt removed it all of them where fully charged
I call bullshit
Dang that things got some ludicrous power! Watching this video brings back memories of when I had an entry level mechanic job at an excavation company. That shit was hard as hell. I took a 2 year college diesel program to start off at $11 an hour greasing dump trucks. I quit after only a year to go work construction. I think if youre short and stocky its not a bad career, but if your tall and skinny youll hurt your back too easy like I did.
I sure wouldn’t want that to be my truck you over tightened the living crap out of it those studs are junk. Great video though that’s one impressive tool
Im come here to write this 👍
I use the 1/2 for road calls on tires. No need to string out air hoses anymore on the side of the road.
I thought this was a deboss video until the intro came in
Lol. Deboss did his vid first. But I like Greg's video better. Except I kind of felt sorry for the lug nut. That they probably stretched trying to get it to stop tightening with the air impact 😂
For sure lol
@@darenwinckler7027 Deboss is a liberal...;)
The transmission bolt was the real challenge and that monster laugh to unscrew it!
Bro replace the wheel stud wtf it is soo stretched out now its gonna break going down the road
Smi studs don't stretch. They either snap or or the thread gets fucked up.
@@Marcos0ne were you not watching? You can clearly see it’s stretched by looking at the bottom of the bolt
Hey Greg nice video. The gun seems pretty impressive. I’d like to see you try it on something that my pneumatic 1” has a tough time with and that’s an outrigger ram piston nut/bolt (depending on the make) on a backhoe. I usually have to heat them up to break the locktite.
Travis
I hope I don't catch grown men working on my truck playing with their tools and using it as a test subject. Beyond that thanks for the video. I'm buying one
You would never know..
*I just bought the Dewalt 899 1/2 impact on offerup with 6ah battery and fast charger for $200 and it's a beast impact but this Milwaukee is obviously more powerful so if the 899 starts to struggle the Milwaukee will be my next purchase.*
Use a 1/2 with the 12ah batter it blows the 1” out of the water hands down
I use cordless Milwaukee impacts 1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2” and 3/4” for my 3500, 4500 and 5500 construction maintenance and I must say I’ve only used my 3/4 drive once…. I have trucks full of cordless Milwaukee and DeWalt tools I hardly use my air compressors any more
The tyre shop guys that do the call-outs for the trucks will LOVE that thing!
Maybe dozer sprocket nuts?
I was sold on the transmission yoke nut!
Sure it can do it, but it sounds like tin can full of rocks and takes 4x as long vs a proper pneumatic. Not saying it isn't neat, but I think we're just more impressed that it can actually do it and that there's no hose rather than anything else. Give it a few years of refinement, then maybe it will be equal to a pneumatic.
4x as long? That's quite the reach. I think majority of people will agree with me that it's impressive already, even without the "refinement"
For the portability and usefulness I'll take the 4x (more like 2x) work time to get the bolt off.
You’re obviously not up on the times... better then pneumatic
To be fair, they seem to but the lugs on at full power, like they should only be on at 470 ft/lbs, this gun shouldn't struggle if they put shit on right. I can rip big lugs off with my 1/2in impact like nothing
This tool is good to loosen the lug nuts. But the air impacts will always be much stronger to tighten and feel much secure with the air impacts.
Why wait to charge the batteries, I thought u said y'all have Alot of Milwaukee cordless tools? 🤔🤔
i had my gun for over 5 months , and so far its still running like it was the first day of using it ,just get yourself a 12ah battery and your set =-)
I bought the 1/2” gun, it hits as hard as the 1” gun.
Even though I'm just a hobby mechanic so I have no revenue on tools, and I'm derinitely not financially well set - I live above the arctic circle. Most of our roads are either flowing lakes of magnesium chloride 5 months of the year and along the coast there's a lot of NaCl that makes its way into the air downpour the rest of the year. So when working on mostly 20 year old cars, if it's not rusted off it's rusted solid. I've been doing everything by hand tools up until 6 months ago. Because of a shoulder injury, Infigured it was time to get an impact gun (no space for large enough compressor). While for me, wicked expensive (about equiv. 850 USD around these parts), I took the advice of a friend "buy once, buy the" biggest" you can afford) - and got the 1/2" High torque Fuel/onekey from Milwaukee. Never looked back - this thing is amazing. And it works really well even when so cold outside it could freeze the balls of a moose. I was about to get the non onekey model for ~65 USD less - but ultimately decided against it, thinking the newer onekey model was probably a little refined in other aspects too. But boy, am I glad I did. Being able to program torque and speed curves (independently!), hqve 4 of them on the ugaduggah at a time, but as many as I want in the app and cycling that to the machine taking like 5 seconds with the app... Man. This thing isn't just stupidly powerful. It's impressively versatile. Only a few years ago, just about any really useful uggaduggah-gun meant a big compressor, hoses, an on-off trigger and a fwd/rev toggle. Now we have this. Its a glorious time to be alive, for all powertool-wielders.
10:00 for those who didn't wanna sit through the whole video
Thank goodness, I couldn't manage to sit through all of this.
Or 18:47
Great for a home shop or portable mechanic for sure. Shop owners for cost and long haul reliability I think Air tools are the standard honestly. I’m all for the new line of battery driven hand tools, but air is king! :)
Damn that's got some serious power behind that and by watching this video this makes me want to really go out and by one of these bad boys because I do have tuff problems breaking off hub nuts on vehicles that have never been removed in so long
Very impresses. Going to get one for me and two more for my two sons who are both automotive and boat mechanics.
Damn dats impressive that thing has some serious power
This is really incredible because I’ve done this kind of work and you really need tons of power to open these rusted nuts. Milwaukee is just amazing! I really can’t believe it! 😆
Nice truck man love watching your videos that Cummins sounds amazing I like all your trucks you fix them up great 🔥
I have the 1/2 inch and its a beast. Only on my US school bus wheel nits it has no chance. Im relictant to buy the 1 inch and wait a year for the tech to improve even more.
7 minutes in, he's still running his mouth
Geez ur right
I'll take your word for it.....
It's the norm now for RUclipsrs to just blabber and jaw flap away to Stretch out videos so they get more add breaks! Fucking blows right?
Glad I went to the comment section. Thank you good sir.
19 minute video, only 30 seconds of meaningful action. Most of him talking.
Might be helpful to have in the tool bag on road trips to change tires and such..Coupla extra Batteries and you're good to go.
