Eh, has to be more than 15 years. Makita LXT debuted in 2005/2006 and their original compact impact wrenches that launched fairly early into that lineup definitely weren't slouches for their time, they'd probably hold up decently well by today's standards even. Those old BTW251s were rated at like 170 ft/lbs and could definitely get some work done. I've still got a few of our retired wrenches in a box and all but 1 still works, they just don't hit very hard anymore because the spring mechanism on the hammer assembly is worn out. Their impact drivers hit plenty hard too. ~1100 in/lbs wasn't too bad for the time either. edit: yeah. Those old BTW251s were out by February of 2007. So that model is over 14.5 years old now.

I would love to see the Airtec Master 35 gas powered 1 inch impact! I use it everyday in my job as a welder on the railroad. They are slowly moving to battery tools but the old moped will never stop aslong as there is gas in the tank! No pesky overdrawing the battery or overheating with gas!

yea but nothing really beats the convienience of not being tethered, i used to use a gas powered rivet gun and switched to a battery and it was just so much more convienient
You guys NEVER!!!!! Fail to further impress. Because of you I’ve made the choice of two impacts. One for car use and one for my semi truck THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO.
Which tools for which jobs do you prefer? I am a water/gas/sewer utility worker and I am a firm believer in the Milwaukee M18 tools. From their impact working in the bottom of the hole we work in. To their reciprocating saws cutting pvc, ductile iron, and everything in between. Their search light is so popular every single truck we have has one in it, even those that swear the Dewalt tools are the best lol.
You will find that the second tool to market often is the better tool. Just the reverse engineering and optimization advantage that the second brand gets by not needing the completely innovate something new. drills, impacts, Sawzall's it doesn't matter the tool or the brand they all do it but it definitely pushes this industry forward.

For a real life test, get a big excavator and test all the guns on the track pad bolts. You will have hundreds of similar bolts that usually needs to be cut off with a torch. You can get a used track for scraps if you don't want a big machine outside your shop.

That IR is an absolute monster. It would be great if you guys could get a 10' breaker bar or cheater bar/pipe solid enough to put 3K Ft-lbs on that dyno to actually test a 3K nut busting claim.

The Formula 1 torque gun is awesome. I’d love to see that on this channel. The torque guns I have seen at NASA are more linear and not really impacts. I’m sure they have both though.
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.
That thing looks like a crew served weapon, does it come with a pintle mount or tripod? Just because I’m a Milwaukee guy doesn’t mean I can’t concede that is an absolute BEAST
I bought a 1/2 Ir a couple years before the race started with milwauk. and mak. I have not regretted it yet. I think it uses the same batts. as this one. 12 or 13 hundy is a steel for what it does.
What puts me off is the batteries might not work/charge properly. You can bet that if you get a tool that ONLY works with 2 batteries, one is gonna give problems. Here in the uk people have only heard of Milwaukee tools at this level, who makes that other one?.
Always educational, kudos to the channel for not accepting tools from manufacturers free of charge. This ensures the channel is free of bias and as you said you're testing what a consumer would purchase 👍🏽
I would love for you to do a video about Milwaukee’s OneKey technology and any other power tools that have something similar. The fact that you can connect your power tool to a smartphone app via bluetooth and customize the torque, RPM’s, etc, plus get real-time data on the tool and battery health is fascinating! I wanna see what all you can do with it and whether or not it can be a useful feature for certain tools and tasks. 😁
@@paladindanse8479 we just hauled a 1.5" drive down from up on top of a control room, thing is 70 years old, gona give a try of cleaning it up and get it working again its completely lubed and free spinning, so hopefully just seals and it'll be ready to go =D
I really didn't expect the IR to compete with the Milwaukee let alone take it out behind the shed like it did. Thanks for ruining my preconceived notions
I'm just pleased someone took the time to actually test them to see if they fulfill anywhere near what they claim. At least they are over the 1k mark, but I was also surprised at the lead the IR had.
Nice work boys. I really like the nut busting test, actually - when you do further head-to-head's it would be nice to see it, because the way you guys did it adds a nice bit of real-worldiness to the testing. I mean when you see the same nut at the same torque come off 6 seconds faster with one gun than another, it even better demonstrates the difference between them. I wouldn't mind a video that's just a "bust-off" of the various categories you've already tested. Plus, think of the innuendo!
The dedication to putting out the most accurate information possible by not accepting free tools from brands, especially at these prices, is very commendable. Few reviewers as honest as you
Y’all are about to blow up with subscribers !!! There is no way u shouldn’t have 2 million subs, your the project farm of impacts!! Keep up the great high quality guys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can imagine being all up under a semi trying to break u-joint(Yoke) from the transmission with the ir and it being less scary than the old tire gun. I've always feared the air fitting breaking and not being to get my face away from it.
Worries me what semis you're working on since all the ones I worked on had straps to hold it to the transmission n I had to take them off with just a 1/2 ratchet
@@benmiller5015 yup even on the 60 ton haulage trucks I work on I only ever need a 1/2 gun for drivelines. It'd be nice for box trunnion caps and scoop z-links though.
$1400 is awesome, my CP 1” I paid $900 for and I am limited to what the compressors capacity is so battery powered that can compete with it is worth the money even if I get a job after a roadside tire guy welds the nuts on after a tire repair and have to use a breaker bar first, all my other main tools are battery powered except my 1” I guess it is time to upgrade it.
For sure! I committed to the 'Milwaukee battery universe'(lol) a few years ago specifically because everything has said that they have had the best battery tech for a while, and still keeping up when everyone is trying to move past 18v as fast as possible is only proof of that. You also get to a point where 'good enough' really IS good enough, and I feel like the 18v lithium generation of tools was that point - a lot of these guns produce enough torque to snap fasteners & attachments(like TTC's impact driver testing, going through so many adapters) that they're sized for... so how much MORE power do you actually need, do you actually have a use for? And, if you have excessive power, how many actually use features like different torque settings versus just leaving it on full pow and causing yourself some headaches from doing so(I mean, what dude doesn't feel like a fastener needs a few extra ugga duggas than it really does? It's gotta be a genetic problem we're born with lol)? It'll be interesting to see where Milwaukee goes from here(they do have the MX Fuel stuff, albeit the batteries are gigantic...) - but, am I actually going to buy into a "more powerful" Milwaukee lineup? Well, since I don't do steel work on skyscrapers and I'm not a heavy truck/equipment mechanic... probably not lol, I don't NEED more power than the big boy 1/2" I already have. If anything, hopefully a 'next gen' Milwaukee lineup drops sooner than later so the M18 Fuel stuff can be had cheaper!!!
@@RyTrapp0 exactly why I chose the M18 lineup one battery that works in every tool 18v is light enough and compact enough and still competes with the competitions larger 36v 40v 54v platforms. However in the future it would be nice to see a 36v 2x18v for tablesaws and quick cut saws ect Mx is to big but sometimes you need a tad bit more power
I remember working one of my first jobs as a tool repair tech, back in the 90s and cordless were not something we repaired, since they were consumer level tools. Things did come a long way with tools.
20 years taking off lug nuts and I can tell you right now that if the extended anvil won't take a stuck lug nut off the short one usually will so there is a difference in torque in that part
I work in a foundry and we are always removing large 2 and 3 inch nuts and bolts from dies, presses and shakers. For a power tool we are hell on earth. We chew up impacts and spit them out. Our last purchase was this Milwaukee impact and so far it has performed well. After severe use 30 minutes straight it was so hot that it was unpleasant to touch, so we cooled it down before we burned it out and it kept on truckin’. That’s the only knock we have. And I don’t believe any brand would be any better. But we will see how well it holds up over the long haul. But so far I give it 8.5/10. Very strong and ergonomically designed. It’s not too heavy and has taken the abuse so far
Now you need to test the most powerful pneumatic & hydraulic impact wrenches. Pneumatic impact wrenches can still beat electric ones every time but hydraulic wrench are still the king of power.
Great job! I also really appreciate you guys showing the torque of the lower settings. You mentioned in this video that the lower settings were closer to their advertised numbers compared to what the smaller drivers can replicate. Did you do this same testing for the 3/8 and 1/2 drivers? If so I must have missed it because I would love to see what settings 1 and 2 could do on the various drivers (m18 mid torque or m12 stubby for example). As you guys have consistently proven, advertised numbers are not always accurate. Thanks again for all of your hard work! I wish you continued success.
We just received the IR "Nut Buster" in our shop not too long ago. It's a godsend of a tool, no longer having to resort to huge breaker bars, to take off the lug nuts of the trucks we service.
@@1122rodney so far it works great! The batteries could be more rugged, one of them broke where the screws keep the two halves together. I just used gorilla tape to keep it together and it’s still working. It’s extremely strong. So get ready for a work out. I need an extra set of batteries because they can drain pretty fast when working on larger heat exchangers. Other than that it’s great!
You guys are still the only super professional non bias, and true reviewers/testers Along with project farm out there. Cheers (use any non Bud light brands beers)
After seeing this video as well as the new 3/4" Makita, it seems as though the lower voltage is holding the Milwaukee back, who knows what they could do with a 2-battery, 36v setup. As long as it they used 2 18volts instead of an increased voltage single battery, as this is one of the advantages of Milwaukee in that you can use any of their batteries on any of their tools.
One of these days you guys are gonna have to try out the 1½" drive Ingersoll Rand 2955 impact, quoted 4,500 ft-lbs. It might be a while since it apparently goes for around 7 grand and requires an insane amount of air to run... but it would be cool to watch it go ham on the dyno!
Really appreciate you not accepting juiced up one-off tools submitted by the manufacturer. Side note is that I would be really hard pressed to spend that kind of cash on a tool ( Ingersoll) to get that torque for long term use in the field. I will stick to my one inch Ingersoll Rand impact which runs on air for now because I can drop it in the mud or sand and pick it up and still go back to work without worry. For me it has to work year after year.
Pretty impressive. It'd be nice to have one of these at the shop. Could have used that yesterday. Did the old 12 yard bucket shuffle. Had to get an old bucket on a new piece of gear for testing in the muck pile.
The XC6.0 battery is one our favorites. See episode 18 where we test all the HO batteries. Or this 1" D-handles episode where we test a few on this tool for no good reason
I have purchased some of my Makita tools from Ohio Power Tool, along with my Blaklader work clothes, and you won't find a better online place then O.P.T.
Haven't even watched the video yet, but I work at a commercial tire shop, we demoed the Milwaukee a few months back for ~3 months, we all loved it, didn't have quite enough torque sometimes, but it was nice not having to run an airline around all the time, so it weighed out. A couple weeks ago we got the IR to demo late on a Friday, it was used on one truck then, like one or 2 trucks on Monday, and then I used it for the first time on Tuesday. It stopped impacting completely when I used it, swapped batteries, changed directions, nothing. Imo IR needs to stick to pneumatic guns, that cordless is absolute garbage. Dead after MAYBE 60 lugnuts.
Also the Milwaukee feels way better to use. The weight difference is definitely noticeable, and its not nearly as jerky as the IR was, from my experience anyway.
Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate today those great tools I would like to have one of those expectedly that maketa 1 inc drive man they're great tools
You should be able to send the IR charger back to be replaced under warranty. It sucks that charger was not functioning properly from the factory but it at least changed the batteries enough to fully power that beast of an electric impact wrench.
Planning on getting one of these... I was gonna go with the Milwaukee since most of my tools are M12/M18, but I do have the IR 7152 with some batteries that are getting weak. At like $220/battery getting 4 of them with the IR gun would be nice as I could use them with the 7152 as well. Tough choice as it would be nice to go with all one platform, I'd probably go with the Milwaukee if i didn't already have the 1/2" Ingersoll.
Honestly the Milwaukee doing what it did on an 18 volt battery. 12 amp in one battery is far more impressive than the extra torque out of the IR. My question would be what happens if Milwaukee starts dabbling in this flex volt setup type batteries? They have been so far ahead of the pack when it comes to battery technology doing the most out of The least amount of volts needed for so many years now.
Milwaukee really isn’t ahead of the pack, battery tech wise though. Other than being one of the first to move to 21700s, they’re pretty middle of the pack, batt tech wise. Even then, professional brands like Hilti were using 26650s before 21700s came to tool batts. It’s something they use to their advantage, actually. Most higher tech battery platforms have more aggresive power management, which has its own benefits for more consistent power delivery.
Now that’s what I wanted to see, great video as always bro, you finally did it and test the big boys, I like the leaning this channel going toward, keep going bro never stop!
Gonna be a game-changer in the truck tire business... the 1" airhose is a pain to work with, now all you need is inflation air. I'm sure IR will have an update with better batteries out soon.

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.
That thing looks like a crew served weapon, does it come with a pintle mount or tripod?
Just because I’m a Milwaukee guy doesn’t mean I can’t concede that is an absolute BEAST
I bought a 1/2 Ir a couple years before the race started with milwauk. and mak. I have not regretted it yet. I think it uses the same batts. as this one. 12 or 13 hundy is a steel for what it does.
What puts me off is the batteries might not work/charge properly. You can bet that if you get a tool that ONLY works with 2 batteries, one is gonna give problems. Here in the uk people have only heard of Milwaukee tools at this level, who makes that other one?.
@@sirmalus5153 Ingersoll-Rand, Probably the OG pneumatic supplier in the States, at least. Huge company.
"Terminator"💀
It comes on a humvee
Always educational, kudos to the channel for not accepting tools from manufacturers free of charge. This ensures the channel is free of bias and as you said you're testing what a consumer would purchase 👍🏽
These are exciting times! I've loved your work since the beginning and I'm ready for what comes next!
This channel deserves so much more credit
I would love for you to do a video about Milwaukee’s OneKey technology and any other power tools that have something similar. The fact that you can connect your power tool to a smartphone app via bluetooth and customize the torque, RPM’s, etc, plus get real-time data on the tool and battery health is fascinating!
I wanna see what all you can do with it and whether or not it can be a useful feature for certain tools and tasks. 😁
6:00 before the first test.
Just want you to know I appreciate the heck out of your channel and what your doing!
Would be interesting to see a gas powered 1” impact as it is also technically cordless. And yes they do exist
I had to Google it. Found a stihl chainsaw powered 1 inch impact. Pretty neat.
we use em on utility work, dont always have electricity available or the time to wait
I wanna see someone turbo and nos that thing
@@paladindanse8479 we just hauled a 1.5" drive down from up on top of a control room, thing is 70 years old, gona give a try of cleaning it up and get it working again
its completely lubed and free spinning, so hopefully just seals and it'll be ready to go =D
@@keshmo12 Pretty common in railway track maintenance too.
Both tools are amazing, it's crazy what they can do with 18v batteries no more hoses and air compressors.
My personal favorite impact for installing drywall screws and self tappers... 😂😂
03:31 *OH MY GOD!*
OH my GOD!
I feel this graphic in my BONES! I gotta get a huge version of that printed and up on my wall asap!
You guys are awesome. Love the comic relief and the drive of this channel.
Wow the two powerhouse tools head to head. Nice 👍 that was a great comparison. Thanks.
Oh my god testing a pit gun would be the COOLEST THING EVER
I really didn't expect the IR to compete with the Milwaukee let alone take it out behind the shed like it did. Thanks for ruining my preconceived notions
I'm just pleased someone took the time to actually test them to see if they fulfill anywhere near what they claim. At least they are over the 1k mark, but I was also surprised at the lead the IR had.
Ingersoll has always outperformed Milwaukee in my experience.
Plus, IngerSoll is the best name I can think of haha
Nice work boys. I really like the nut busting test, actually - when you do further head-to-head's it would be nice to see it, because the way you guys did it adds a nice bit of real-worldiness to the testing. I mean when you see the same nut at the same torque come off 6 seconds faster with one gun than another, it even better demonstrates the difference between them.
I wouldn't mind a video that's just a "bust-off" of the various categories you've already tested. Plus, think of the innuendo!
So much innuendo. Head to head nut busting sounds messy.
Easily my fav. channel at the moment! I really dig the format. So good.
The dedication to putting out the most accurate information possible by not accepting free tools from brands, especially at these prices, is very commendable. Few reviewers as honest as you
Crazy to see how true channel is growing… I wonder what it’ll be in the next 6 months, 1 year and more. Love y’all.
Y’all are about to blow up with subscribers !!! There is no way u shouldn’t have 2 million subs, your the project farm of impacts!! Keep up the great high quality guys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can imagine being all up under a semi trying to break u-joint(Yoke) from the transmission with the ir and it being less scary than the old tire gun. I've always feared the air fitting breaking and not being to get my face away from it.
Worries me what semis you're working on since all the ones I worked on had straps to hold it to the transmission n I had to take them off with just a 1/2 ratchet
@@benmiller5015 yup even on the 60 ton haulage trucks I work on I only ever need a 1/2 gun for drivelines. It'd be nice for box trunnion caps and scoop z-links though.
Im with ben here... What are you working on that needs a 1in impact on the drive line lol?
Eaton Roadrangers 10+ speed trans and driveline often need at least a 3/4 gun to remove the nut holding the yokes on.
@@dchawk81 Most people haven't been bitten by snakes either, but some things make people nervous. Pretty sure we all carry some irrational fears.
$1400 is awesome, my CP 1” I paid $900 for and I am limited to what the compressors capacity is so battery powered that can compete with it is worth the money even if I get a job after a roadside tire guy welds the nuts on after a tire repair and have to use a breaker bar first, all my other main tools are battery powered except my 1” I guess it is time to upgrade it.
Still amazes me every time I watch a TTT channel and see Milwaukee's 18v still crushing or at least keeping up with 36+ volt and/or dual battery tools
For sure! I committed to the 'Milwaukee battery universe'(lol) a few years ago specifically because everything has said that they have had the best battery tech for a while, and still keeping up when everyone is trying to move past 18v as fast as possible is only proof of that. You also get to a point where 'good enough' really IS good enough, and I feel like the 18v lithium generation of tools was that point - a lot of these guns produce enough torque to snap fasteners & attachments(like TTC's impact driver testing, going through so many adapters) that they're sized for... so how much MORE power do you actually need, do you actually have a use for? And, if you have excessive power, how many actually use features like different torque settings versus just leaving it on full pow and causing yourself some headaches from doing so(I mean, what dude doesn't feel like a fastener needs a few extra ugga duggas than it really does? It's gotta be a genetic problem we're born with lol)?
It'll be interesting to see where Milwaukee goes from here(they do have the MX Fuel stuff, albeit the batteries are gigantic...) - but, am I actually going to buy into a "more powerful" Milwaukee lineup? Well, since I don't do steel work on skyscrapers and I'm not a heavy truck/equipment mechanic... probably not lol, I don't NEED more power than the big boy 1/2" I already have. If anything, hopefully a 'next gen' Milwaukee lineup drops sooner than later so the M18 Fuel stuff can be had cheaper!!!
@@RyTrapp0 exactly why I chose the M18 lineup one battery that works in every tool 18v is light enough and compact enough and still competes with the competitions larger 36v 40v 54v platforms. However in the future it would be nice to see a 36v 2x18v for tablesaws and quick cut saws ect Mx is to big but sometimes you need a tad bit more power
Would love to see Milwaukee with either two batteries or higher voltages mix things up from what they have been doing
They have begun to try it- their new m18 lawn mower uses 2x12.0ah battery packs and runs at 36V
I remember working one of my first jobs as a tool repair tech, back in the 90s and cordless were not something we repaired, since they were consumer level tools. Things did come a long way with tools.
20 years taking off lug nuts and I can tell you right now that if the extended anvil won't take a stuck lug nut off the short one usually will so there is a difference in torque in that part
Yeah except that almost every truck mechanic uses an extended anvil 1” impact… to take off lug nuts.
That is nice testing, very good job!
I work in a foundry and we are always removing large 2 and 3 inch nuts and bolts from dies, presses and shakers. For a power tool we are hell on earth. We chew up impacts and spit them out. Our last purchase was this Milwaukee impact and so far it has performed well. After severe use 30 minutes straight it was so hot that it was unpleasant to touch, so we cooled it down before we burned it out and it kept on truckin’. That’s the only knock we have. And I don’t believe any brand would be any better. But we will see how well it holds up over the long haul. But so far I give it 8.5/10. Very strong and ergonomically designed. It’s not too heavy and has taken the abuse so far
Now you need to test the most powerful pneumatic & hydraulic impact wrenches. Pneumatic impact wrenches can still beat electric ones every time but hydraulic wrench are still the king of power.
My step dad has a pneumatic IR he got in '94 USED. Still going strong!
Remember to like and subscribe, it's the least we can do. Choo choo, keep the hype train going!!!
I love this channel, you guys rock
This is my absolute favourite channel!!!!!!! This channel will grow rapidly, I have no doubt, this is just epic!!! Love from the UK 👍🥳
Holy smokes. You got the ir 😮 that’s absolutely incredible!!!!! Can’t wait to see more
Great job! I also really appreciate you guys showing the torque of the lower settings. You mentioned in this video that the lower settings were closer to their advertised numbers compared to what the smaller drivers can replicate. Did you do this same testing for the 3/8 and 1/2 drivers? If so I must have missed it because I would love to see what settings 1 and 2 could do on the various drivers (m18 mid torque or m12 stubby for example). As you guys have consistently proven, advertised numbers are not always accurate. Thanks again for all of your hard work! I wish you continued success.
We just received the IR "Nut Buster" in our shop not too long ago. It's a godsend of a tool, no longer having to resort to huge breaker bars, to take off the lug nuts of the trucks we service.
Just ordered the IR. Can’t wait to try it out, we work on plate heat exchangers and use a pneumatic impact all the time.
How did the ir work for you?? Thinking of getting one myself
@@1122rodney so far it works great! The batteries could be more rugged, one of them broke where the screws keep the two halves together. I just used gorilla tape to keep it together and it’s still working. It’s extremely strong. So get ready for a work out. I need an extra set of batteries because they can drain pretty fast when working on larger heat exchangers. Other than that it’s great!
Thx. Just ordered mine with an extra pair of batts
You guys are still the only super professional non bias, and true reviewers/testers Along with project farm out there. Cheers (use any non Bud light brands beers)
After seeing this video as well as the new 3/4" Makita, it seems as though the lower voltage is holding the Milwaukee back, who knows what they could do with a 2-battery, 36v setup. As long as it they used 2 18volts instead of an increased voltage single battery, as this is one of the advantages of Milwaukee in that you can use any of their batteries on any of their tools.
this is perfect for oil drain plugs
One of these days you guys are gonna have to try out the 1½" drive Ingersoll Rand 2955 impact, quoted 4,500 ft-lbs.
It might be a while since it apparently goes for around 7 grand and requires an insane amount of air to run... but it would be cool to watch it go ham on the dyno!
Awesome! Love the ir stuff. Now tighten nuts with big it and loosen with the 1/2" high torque guns
I'm going with the ir on this one. Thanks so much for the testing yall Do. It's really appreciated so we can put our money on the right product
Really appreciate you not accepting juiced up one-off tools submitted by the manufacturer. Side note is that I would be really hard pressed to spend that kind of cash on a tool ( Ingersoll) to get that torque for long term use in the field. I will stick to my one inch Ingersoll Rand impact which runs on air for now because I can drop it in the mud or sand and pick it up and still go back to work without worry. For me it has to work year after year.
Pretty impressive. It'd be nice to have one of these at the shop. Could have used that yesterday. Did the old 12 yard bucket shuffle. Had to get an old bucket on a new piece of gear for testing in the muck pile.
Channel of the year!!!
You’re clearly having wayyyyy to much fun!!!!🤙🤙🤙
Best part was the kid at the end, kids having fun with tools? Always a win.
First time watching your channel and that intro almost just made me cry, Rest In Peace Grant Thompson
Thanks for putting this together. So awesome! Appreciate all the hard work. Will look into these 2 big boys
The clip at then end was great.
Love the little one playing. Shows it's kick.
Good vid! Excellent writing
Awesome I've seen other tools with 2batterys good to know it actually works.
Bigger tools needed
That was great! Love the channel , always looking forward to the next episode!!
Have you tried the M18 6amp battery out?
The XC6.0 battery is one our favorites. See episode 18 where we test all the HO batteries. Or this 1" D-handles episode where we test a few on this tool for no good reason
Milwaukee guy here with tail between my legs. That IR is top dog for sure. Beast mode
I have purchased some of my Makita tools from Ohio Power Tool, along with my Blaklader work clothes, and you won't find a better online place then O.P.T.
Your tee shirt picture just popped up and I can't stop chuckling about it can't be tight if it's liquid
Thanks to this channel I now own 4 Impact wrenches.
I love it!!! That IR is a beast!!!!!
Haven't even watched the video yet, but I work at a commercial tire shop, we demoed the Milwaukee a few months back for ~3 months, we all loved it, didn't have quite enough torque sometimes, but it was nice not having to run an airline around all the time, so it weighed out. A couple weeks ago we got the IR to demo late on a Friday, it was used on one truck then, like one or 2 trucks on Monday, and then I used it for the first time on Tuesday. It stopped impacting completely when I used it, swapped batteries, changed directions, nothing. Imo IR needs to stick to pneumatic guns, that cordless is absolute garbage. Dead after MAYBE 60 lugnuts.
Also the Milwaukee feels way better to use. The weight difference is definitely noticeable, and its not nearly as jerky as the IR was, from my experience anyway.
Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate today those great tools I would like to have one of those expectedly that maketa 1 inc drive man they're great tools
Best season finale ever
Great job guys. It always helps to know the facts when paying that much money for a tool!
I don't know. Using tools of this size could rip a hole in the space-time continuum. I think this is what CERN uses to split atoms.
Lmao
Were gonna reach the limits of conventional impact sockets with these things. WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY!
You should be able to send the IR charger back to be replaced under warranty. It sucks that charger was not functioning properly from the factory but it at least changed the batteries enough to fully power that beast of an electric impact wrench.
Ir is really a great product. I’ve used their air tools when I did commercial tires they always have so much torque
Great channel, very informative and fun to watch.. Thank you for all your hard work
Planning on getting one of these... I was gonna go with the Milwaukee since most of my tools are M12/M18, but I do have the IR 7152 with some batteries that are getting weak. At like $220/battery getting 4 of them with the IR gun would be nice as I could use them with the 7152 as well. Tough choice as it would be nice to go with all one platform, I'd probably go with the Milwaukee if i didn't already have the 1/2" Ingersoll.
traitor
Honestly the Milwaukee doing what it did on an 18 volt battery. 12 amp in one battery is far more impressive than the extra torque out of the IR. My question would be what happens if Milwaukee starts dabbling in this flex volt setup type batteries? They have been so far ahead of the pack when it comes to battery technology doing the most out of The least amount of volts needed for so many years now.
Milwaukee really isn’t ahead of the pack, battery tech wise though. Other than being one of the first to move to 21700s, they’re pretty middle of the pack, batt tech wise. Even then, professional brands like Hilti were using 26650s before 21700s came to tool batts.
It’s something they use to their advantage, actually. Most higher tech battery platforms have more aggresive power management, which has its own benefits for more consistent power delivery.
Now that’s what I wanted to see, great video as always bro, you finally did it and test the big boys, I like the leaning this channel going toward, keep going bro never stop!
I love this channel ❤️
I feel like empirical is your middle name. You embody true science in the most genuine way! Much love
Both are big boy monsters. So powerful!
Time to make a custom LH bolt made!
Just Re-watched this, can't believe it's been a year! Great viewing.
The new test rig is awesome brother!
Gonna be a game-changer in the truck tire business... the 1" airhose is a pain to work with, now all you need is inflation air. I'm sure IR will have an update with better batteries out soon.
That long rodded thing really banged the heck out of her.......Ms. Skidmore....
I remember back when the phrase "Nut Bustin' Torque" meant, turning her dainty lil flower into GOULASH!! {0.o} 😆😂🤣
JUGGIN' THE DAWG!! JUGGIN' THE DAWG!!......JUGGIN' THE DAWG!! JUGGIN' THE DAWG!!
