I originally bought the impact with the friction ring but exchanged it later that day for the pin, as all my other ratchets and such have always had the pin. Well the stupid pin on this thing will NOT release a socket for nothing. I have to carry around a small screwdriver or something to push the pin down and swap sockets. Super annoying! I ended up putting a small extension on permanently but looking to swap for the friction ring.
I know what you mean I had the same issue. I'm hoping Milwaukee fixes the the PIN detent and put a ball like all the other impacts with pin detent. but I think Milwaukee was thinking about working in high places because what the PIN detent you will never drop the socket. the friction ring is more for automotive purposes or general use changing sockets quickly.
I found it much easier to buy the kit with the pin detent... Then buy the friction ring gun ( tool only) .... Put the pin detent tool into the other package..... Then return the pin detent tool inside the friction ring box and bing bango
stealthflythecoop I watched it a couple weeks ago & finally decided to order it, glad you made the video though, I almost sold it for a $100 loss & was gonna buy a new one till I saw I could do it
No both models are rated at the same power the only difference I see in the owner's manual is that the RPM is a lot higher on the pin detent model then on the friction ring model but only at a certain setting I believe it was only number one setting.
Thanks for the video! Might need to do this to mine, the pin detent is becoming a pain. What type of grease did you use on the new anvil when you installed it?
Not sure if that part number will work.. you would have to do some research but I'm sure it's possible to convert after all it's the anvil detent or hogring that changes the part is the same so you should be able to swap it.
@@stealthflythecoop6819 Thank you for the response, I was able to find the right part number for mine and will use your video as a reference. Very grateful to know this is possible via your video!
Wynston Moses no real difference besides the obvious. Milwaukee made the pin detent for technicians working at higher altitude so the socket won't fall off, but you would need to push the pin detent in to remove the socket. If Milwaukee swap the pin detent from the 1/2 Ryobi I would never switch to friction ring 😂
Great video. I've done this to mine. Do you know if they have this kit in a 3/8 drive? Reason why I'm asking is my friend got me another 1/2 mid torque, and I dont need another one. And I wanna change the 1/2 to 3/8. Milwaukee came out with the new 3/8 mid torque.
Im not sure havent done my reaearch on the 3/8 anvil mid torque but ill check it out if everything has the same part number on the parts list then yes it should be the same concept as this video.
@@jaemarple608 unfortunately I've done some research on converting a 3/8 to 1/2 inch mid torque and I could tell you right now that it is possible but you're going to be spending twice as much just to do the conversion you might just want to just buy a 1/2 mid torque instead. I have a video that I was going to post but I don't know if it's relevant to some people it might just be relevant to you so if you're interested I will post it to see how I came to this conclusion, but it'll just be a lot of money. Just let me know I'll post it if you need it. also I wanted to add that I did my research as part numbers only and if they fit together properly. But I would highly recommend that someone takes it apart measures it or buys an anvil from a 3/8 or a half inch and just swap it and seeing if it works.
Have you had any problems since making the swap? I am looking at buying the pin detent kit for way cheaper than the friction ring kit and want to make this swap myself.
Yeah I do it's 42-06-0129. 1/2 Detent Pin Anvil Assembly get it at your local Milwaukee parts dealer check location at the website below www.milwaukeetool.com/Support/Find-A-Service-Center and remember you do have warranty!
@@charliehustle2579 stubby part number for friction ring is 42-06-2555 1/2" Friction Ring Anvil Assembly..yes the stubby pin detent and friction ring anvil is interchangeable.but the Midtorque won't fit because it has a different hammer.
I bought mine from here www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-GENUINE-MILWAUKEE-42-06-0128-1-2-Square-Friction-Ring-Anvil-2861-20-H62A/182824122655?hash=item2a912ab91f:g:IiUAAOSw-PZZ3srW
Why would anyone do this? If you just don't line up the holes, it works just as good or maybe even better than a friction ring. Plus, if you need a strong grip, the pin is still there.
Skip This For Automotive use I change sockets all the time and it's a pain. I did try your method but the truth is I bought the wrong anvil for the application. I'm happy with my 2860 with the friction ring it's a one of a kind.
@@stealthflythecoop6819 im on the same boat as you. I thought the pin detent was better, big mistake. Switching sockets out a lot and sometimes you don't look and then boom the socket is stuck now i need to get a mini scredriver to push the pin in to change sockets. Kinda gets annoying. I have the m12 1/2" stubby i wonder if i can do the swap as well?

People just file down the pin detent a bit. Works great!

I bought it online so I had no returns or refunds, but that why i have this video out to alert people interested in buying the mid torque.
Congratulations on admitting to a crime on the interwebz, sir.
This seems somewhat intimidating but with some mechanical knowledge everyone should be fine. It took me 10 minutes
Check out my new video on the milwaukee pin detent swap i do a step by step install
stealthflythecoop I watched it a couple weeks ago & finally decided to order it, glad you made the video though, I almost sold it for a $100 loss & was gonna buy a new one till I saw I could do it
@@AllRandomized remember to share my video if it help you out. Im glad it worked out for you. I was in the same boat.
Also I’m pretty sure you don’t need to split the case to remove the anvil
Unfortunately you need to split the case. But I made a step by step video with commentary. Hope it helps ruclips.net/video/lVPj5sEFowE/видео.html
Fuck I didnt realize that the full-size and stubby anvils aren’t interchangeable o just wasted 25 bucks
So it’s better the friction ring than the pin detent? What about the dices? Can I use the same tipe dices in both sistems?
Doesn’t the pin detent model also have lower power than the friction ring?
No both models are rated at the same power the only difference I see in the owner's manual is that the RPM is a lot higher on the pin detent model then on the friction ring model but only at a certain setting I believe it was only number one setting.
Just to be sure as it was difficult to see in the video...where does the ball bearing go? Thanks.
Jason Liu yeah sorry about I didn't have a great camera angle for that, but the ball goes behind the anvil...
New and improved video with step by step instructions to swap the anvil. Enjoy. ruclips.net/video/lVPj5sEFowE/видео.html
nice videos stealthflythecoop
singlecams thanks bro just trying to help out anyone that bought the wrong anvil like I did.
Spring pop out where does it go
Thanks for the video! Might need to do this to mine, the pin detent is becoming a pain. What type of grease did you use on the new anvil when you installed it?
Jacob Hladik I just reused the old grease, but Milwaukee suggest to use 49-08-4220 Type J Grease.
Jacob Hladik the eBay seller for purchasing an anvil is in the video description hope it helps you out.
You probably done it already but just file it down & it works perfectly. No need to do buy a friction ring and replace it.
Can you please make an updated video of this swap with a better camera angle & explaining some steps.
I will try to get a video update this week, but as for the camera angle I will do my best to show a top view and talk during disassembly.
Thank you, looking forward to the updated video It will help a lot I need this swap.

Question in the milwaukee mid torque can you turn the anvil by hand?
you can turn the Anvil by hand a few seconds after you pull the trigger. It does take quite some Force to actually turn the anvil.
Thank you I’m so pissed I accidentally bought the pinned version and not the hog ring
me too
Same here, didn't know that there was a difference until right now!
What is the difference? I dunno much about this
Help. I have a 3/8 drive and the retaining ring came off, what is the best method to replace it ?
this guy has a good video on replacing the hog ring.

Do you need to separate the whole clamshell or are you able to remove the 4 T-25 screws and pull off the front?
You need to separate the clamshell because it has a locking pin that keeps the aluminum housing from spinning...
Pause at 3:23 you can see the locking pin...
@@stealthflythecoop6819 ok thank you for pointing that out.
Have you had any problems since making the swap? I am looking at buying the pin detent kit for way cheaper than the friction ring kit and want to make this swap myself.

I want to see someone switch to the 7/16 utility anvil
I have no need for the 7/16 anvil. I'm sure it's possible with some modifications.
Does this void the warranty? looking to replace mine
unfortunately yes it voids the warranty.
