Taking off bud & dayton wheels really isn't this tools cup of tea....if u do that everyday then you need the big boy. However on cars and light trucks this tool should give years of dependable service as long as you don't try to take the tracks off of a dozer everyday and beat it plum to death. Great vid Brian.

    Upgraded from an older 18v kit. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv I independently chose the drill and impact tool, before I came across the kit.I like the 3 speed impact gun. It seems more powerful than my older one, and it can be set to be really gentle. The drill is more appropriately sized for my use. I used to have a hammer drill, but I did not like that it was so big and it was not a great hammer drill. I rather have a smaller drill like this, and then get a corded hammer drill for the odd case I need that.

    Those semi's lug nuts were probably put on with a 1 inch pneumatic so that was a brave task. For a stubby, I'm impressed with the breakaway torque tho. The DeWalt XR20 is a beast too, but much larger. After seeing this remove a 650ft/lbs bolt, I'm sold...

    @FredrickII 3 года назад

    Nice video. Minor quibble: Initially you said they both have 650 foot-pounds removal torque, but then later you say the 3/8th inch has 600 foot-pounds removal torque.
    These mid-torque tools are very compact and light-weight, useful for most jobs. But as you discovered, some of the lug nuts etc just won’t budge without something major like Milwaukee’s 1,400-foot pounds “nut-busting” high torque impact.
    I own both the 1/2 inch and 3/8 inch mid-torque impacts from Milwaukee. But if I had to do it all over again, I’d just buy the high-torque beast because the mid torque range just can’t bust all those nuts, especially when they are rusted or corroded as is usually the case.
    Thanks for the video. I love your channel.

      I just got the DeWalt 1200ft/lb high torque 1/2 in and I have been combing through video comparisons, video tests, comments, etc. Your comment helped me justify staying with the DeWalt. I was considering going with the 650ft/lb Milwaukee Mid Torque option because its 4 inches smaller...fit in a couple more places but I decided the full torque DeWalt is what I will stick with

    I really wanted to like the gen 1 mid torque but I found it to struggle too much. My ingersoll rand with less break away does much better.

Is there much difference between gen 1 and gen 2?

The ingersoll to me is worth it if you use the 5 amp battery, but when your carrying that much gun for extended periods, it gets taxing. I find my self going for air tools that are lighter and pack the same power.

    Question for Milwaukee specialists:
    I have a Milwaukee M18 FMTIW2F12 that has an interesting bug. When I press the switch, the machine spins and diode number 3 (third gear) lights up for a long time. Only when the diode turns off is it possible to change the direction of rotation and start again. In addition, the maximum speed (diode number 3) cannot be changed. In order for it to work at all and not to wait for diode number 3 to go out, I remove and put back the battery. That means to change the wheels on a car that has 5 screws, I have to remove and put back the battery 10 times. Once I press the switch, I must not stop until the job is done, otherwise there will be a long pause or re-inserting and removing the battery.

    Would a 1/2” with its higher torque fastening cause problems for bolts when tightening or loosening? I’m trying to decide between 3/8” or 1/2” and I’m trying to avoid something so powerful it breaks bolts.

    • @Methodical2
      @Methodical2 2 года назад

      You don't say what you will be working with, so it's hard to answer your question. So generally, besides the small increase in power between the 1/2 and 3/8, it boils down to your sockets. If they are all 1/2, then go with 1/2 and if all 3/8 then go with 3/8. Basically, get the impact wrench that matches your sockets so you don't have to resort to adapters. The impact wrench has 4 different power selections to use for removing and installing bolts. Selection #4 allows you tighten bolts and once it makes impact with the surface and reaches 35 ft lbs (according to specs), it stops.. With that said, I would only use an impact wrench to tighten bolts (snugged) on lug nuts, struts etc. and nothing too delicate. I'd never use an impact wrench to try and set a bolt's torque specs or to just drive a bolt until it's tight and be done with it. I'd break out the torque wrench.

    • @WorkshopAddict
      @WorkshopAddict  3 года назад +1

      For the most part. You will find a few suspension bolts it wont touch, but if you have larger hand tools you can loosen them and use it to remove them after. It is probably your best choice.

  • @NytronX
    @NytronX 2 года назад +2

    I don't get how you were saying it couldn't take off those lug nuts, but it can take off a giant tractor bolt torqued to 650ft-lbs. If your lugnuts are that tight, the brakes and wheels are probably trashed on that vehicle due to warping from being overtorqued.

    And also I’d like to add that the 3.0 high output and the 8.0 high output would give you the same performance because they’re high output batteries. A 5.0cpo would outlast a 3.0 high output but the 3.0HO would run laps around the 5.0 cpo performance wise

    • @LumenChaser
      @LumenChaser Год назад +1

      Wrong, 3.0ho and 8.0ho will not have equal power. More capacity of the 8 ah will have much less voltage sag while under load therefore creating effectively more power on hand. Same being said for the 12 ah which would be even better than the 8

    • @WorkshopAddict
      @WorkshopAddict  3 года назад

      I am unsure why you would go M12 stubby for your first impact. It is hard for me to tell you what size anvil to go with the info you gave me. I like 1/3" because I can go from 10mm to 38mm. Now since you are going with a limited power impact, you won't need that. Retention pins in Milwaukee impacts are made for working at height, so to remove the socket you need to push the pin in each time with a pick. I want fast changing sockets in automotive, so I always go hog ring.

    • @brandon071194
      @brandon071194 3 года назад

      WorkshopAddict thanks for the quick reply. I wanted the 12 as I don’t do much work on my cars. Maybe breaks and some light work but I’m not too mechanically inclined to do more serious work. I do work on my pit bikes often and but don’t need much torque. I find myself using socked from 6-19 very often. But I was thinking of getting the 1/2 to help out on the tire changes. I bought the 3/8 hog pin. But my friend suggested I swap out for the 1/2 since it is already is the smallest impact Milwaukee sells. Once again thanks for your input. I really appreciate it

    I bought the 3/8 2960 with the 4 amp batteries provided (650 max, 550 working torque). I don't know if I got lemon or what, but that gun is nowhere near the advertised torque. I'm very disappointed because I paid close to $700 for the kit and I did not get a 600 lb/ft gun (it struggles to remove smaller fasteners too). My IR 3/8 with a lower torque rating was a complete monster and took anything off. This is my second bad experience with Milwaukee. I will never buy another.
