- We put the best two 1/2" Compact Impact Wrenches on the market head to head to push them beyond their limits to find a winner for you! Makita Vs Milwaukee, Blue vs Red - Choose your side!
We torqued up M16 Structural bolts starting from 280NM, and going upwards until we found a winner. In the end, we were very surprised with the result!
Ensure you head on over to Part 2 of this video as we had to make a second video in order to declare a categorical winner in this very strong competition.
break away (loosening) torque is not the same as tightening torque when they're not exposed to environment. The correct way to measure the tool's torque is to tighten the fasteners to the torque and try to further tighten them with the driver and see if moves (paint mark can help to see the displacement)
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ENVIROMENT... ALL IMPACT WRENCHES HAVE MORE BREAK AWAY TORQUE...THEY ARE DESIGNED FOR THIS REASON...!!IITS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A SINGLE IMPACT WRENCH WITH MORE TIGHTENING THAN LOOSENING TORQUE...YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT THE TEST...PROBABLY ALMOST SURELY THE FACTORY SPECS ARE FOR MAX TIGHTENING TORQUE!!!
Thank you for your show I enjoyed this one you keep up the good work and you take care it's good to hear a global opinion instead of just one from the states
I got the same Milwaukee model and can’t remove my wheel nuts which are torqued 100N*m, can you do a test with a smaller nut size. Nut size is 19mm.
I haven't looked for the red ones spec but the Makita is rated 400NM removing.
Thanks
Thank
Recently bought a Makita DTW285 (the updated version of the DTW281 tested here) torque wrench with a 4 AH battery, specifically for removing wheel bolts when swapping tyres.
Using it without an extension and proper impact sockets.
The wheel bolts were tightened using a torque wrench to 120 Nm, and have been on for a season = 5 months (before swapping to winter tyres).
Was very surprised to find that the Makita could not remove the wheel bolts! Using a 90 cm brace I could easily get them off manually, but the claimed 400 Nm nut bursting torque of the DTW285 should easily have dealt with correctly tightened wheel bolts?
BMW M3 S65B40 I seem to be having exactly the same problem. I've been wondering if there is a problem with the batteries.
BMW M3 S65B40 get the m18 2861 mid torque 600ft IBS
ViperDragon001 buy the dtw1002. a big unit but will move any nut, bolt.
I dont suppose you could check out the Metabo impact wrench its rated at 400NM??
Hi Brendan,Unfortunately we don't have access to Metabo Products at this point in time,Thanks for your feedback
Is the Makita good enough to take off Hilux lug nuts?
yes it is. found out myself. lol.
Could it be that Theses ratings are based on Day to day work and the tool lasting for at least 3 years it warranty period. So yes it can occasionally operate outside it rated limits but if you did that day after day the tool would probably shit itself after six months well under the warranty period. They may repair it for you without question. But these are probably more for when someone is choosing the right tool for a workshop say. Told are not warranted for abuse and operating a tool outside it's specifications would Warrant this.
just a question but you are comparing their specs on 'forward torque' ( 280 and 300 respectively ) against a test where you are testing 'breakaway torque' or ' nut busting ' torque as marketing likes to call it. Those are 2 different ratings :)
+dominic van lievenoogen Hi Dom, Thanks for your feedback, neither Brand has a published breakaway or not busting torque for either model, so we wanted find out what that value they would be. Stay tuned for Part 2 coming shortly, Thanks Mitch

correct you are always more in reverse
The Makita is 210 ft lbs of fastening torque.. it has 295 ft lbs of nut busting torque.. so obviously anything below 295 ft lbs should be easy for it.
looks impressive how come i cant break my lug nuts torque at 90 pounds with these two impact
You should easily be able to remove lug nuts with these.
The fact I was able to take my truck lug nuts off that are torqued to 140ft lbs or 190nm with my makita brushless impact driver (dtw285z) with ease 🤔
You beat both
You're not clicking the torque wrench.
...uhmm...look the same power...but...I stay with makita ....for durability../.
This test is completely irrelevant. You should test the tightening torque. That is rated on them.
not real
What is real? That is the question
