Find the best prices using our affiliate links: 1" Impact geni.us/m18-oneinch 3/4" Impact geni.us/m18-34inch 1/2" Impact geni.us/m18-halfin *FULL DISCLOSURE:* Milwaukee is sending us tools to use, to make videos with, and to give some away. We are under no obligation to review their products as part of that relationship, there is no contract and this video went live before they saw it or gave us any feedback on it. I have had the 1" impact wrench since July, did not receive monetary compensation, opinions are my own, and everything is scripted myself. We only review tools that are high quality on this channel, and these impact wrenches impressed me. We are primarily an automotive channel demonstrating unique car builds and gas to diesel engine conversions, and think it makes sense to review automotive tools I actually use, as this is a common enough topic I get asked about. We welcome brands that want to help us continue what we love to do and show you how to do it. While we don't know what the future looks like, our goal with this KZbin venture is to make our time on this platform profitable, and build unique vehicles with the revenue... So building good relationships with quality brands makes sense to us. We believe we can be one of the best automotive channels out there, we believe we can do that successfully while maintaining creative control, and we believe it should be free to watch.

[@Dunki113]

Exactly, I bought myself a battery powered leaf blower and a chainsaw and they both have been amazing The leaf blower we use it for our trucks to clean off the trailer, we have flatbeds and haul grass/sod on them so you would get a lot of rocks and planks from the grass and wooden pallets and the blower cleans it off like if they were nothing The chainsaw have been pretty impressive as well, been able to cut up to 4 inches and it would cut like butter, plus, it's so easy to maintain

Hah! They were very useful, compared to a brace bit or a Yankee screwdriver. It's all relative.

And unfortunately, 9.6V Makitas will never look cool as antique decorations on restaurant walls.

@mike toni Everything has its limitations. No comparable air tool would of removed those nuts either. In the real world youd torch those off.

[@havingfun8192]

Rich, I change tires on 50 ton hauls trucks underground. They have 50 wheel nuts torqued to 500 ft/lbs. I use my Milwaukee 3/4 gun with a 12 amp battery it can remove all the nuts, reinstall them and go around the entire wheel twice and tighten to near spec with an extension and have 2 bars on the battery left over. Milwaukee tools are incredible.

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

Thanks for sharing real world experience. Numbers on a box don't mean much to most. Nothing beats real world!

[@havingfun8192]

DEBOSS GARAGE thanks for your reply! Love your channel. I live and work in the mining industry in northern Ontario I’ve got real world experience with Milwaukee tools for days. Last week I changed a tire on a CAT AD 30 rock truck the wheel studs are torqued to 740 ft/lbs and there’s lots of them. Armed with my 9 ah battery I did the whole job, tightened down the new tire and checked it with a torque wrench and my 3/4 was able to hit the 740 tightening no problem. I was a skeptic too when it came to advertised torque output numbers and we did real testing, torqued fasteners to the advertised values and the tools do what they say. I also wanted to know what every different power mode does so I knew what applications I could use the tools on. I don’t use anything under 1/2” drive so I don’t need anything smaller than my fuel mid torque 1/2” gun which is a daily tool. I’ve put them up against the competitors tools from Snap-on, Matco, IR, makita and dewalt and there’s no comparison. The only air tool I currently use is a die grinder and and I haven’t found a replacement for my 1” drive air gun yet, gonna try the new Milwaukee shortly. Milwaukee replaced all other pneumatic tools and allowed me to bring the power with me no matter what kind of mess I find myself in.

[@havingfun8192]

[@havingfun8192]

wobbly sauce.... in my line of work compressed air isn’t always available, in fact it not available far more often than it is. Over the years I’ve done several jobs by hand which have taken far longer and with huge amounts more effort then it would have with the use of power tools. When this Milwaukee line came out it was a huge stress relief for people like me who work in several different areas of a mine at any given time. I keep a complete 3/4 and 1/2 impact socket sets in my underground truck and a couple different impacts when I leave the shop so matter what I got the tools to do pretty much anything anywhere without even have to think about air hoses etc.

[@legohead6]

I call my 1/2" one my "Problem Solver". Its all i need in automotive applications. My air impacts have been collecting dust since i bought it just over a year ago. Never looked back

[@Zozo806]

yes who wants an 1400 nm stubby impact in the shop where air is always avaible if you could work for the same force output with an 8 to 10 pound tool. This 18V Tools are great for the field but still they are power to size and weight not even close to air tools and i doubt they never will exept there will be once a Batterie with nearly limitless output and no weight

[@legohead6]

​@@Zozo806 I use my M12 3/8" impact or ratchet 90% of the time. They are lighter then most air tools, and i dont have to trip over hoses or risk hoses scratching paint. The M18 is only used for larger/stubborn bolts, and ive never found myself holding it for any great length of time. Pick it up, spin the bolt off, then set it back down. I was a huge air tool fan boy too before experiencing these tools. I have probably $10,000 worth of air tools literally collecting dust. I recently removed the air tool rack from my bench and stuffed them all in the back room.

[@wes11bravo]

@MarwoodAuto - that's good to hear. I was all set to get an air impact until I started learning how badass the new battery powered stuff is. I need to put new shocks/springs on my Jeep and my old 250ft/lb max Craftsman electric impact was doing absolutely nothing to loosen all those rusted fasteners. Hoping the Milwaukee 2865-20 I'm getting will work...

[@FredD63]

I feel the same way I have a 3/8” and a 1/2” and my air tools have stayed in my cabinet since

[@leen6bt]

Impact sockets would make a big difference.... and also 6 point instead of 12 point

[@GetBlitzified]

Why would impact sockets and 6 point make a big difference? Just curious.

[@Piecemakerfirearms]

GetBlitzified impact sockets carry way more material for weight thus transferring more kinetic energy to the fastener. 6 point sockets have contact around the entire bolt head whereas the 12 point only make contact on the corner points of the bolt head thus allowing more energy transfer

[@samwagner31]

GetBlitzified impact sockets are harder material so they don’t have as much give and 6 point sockets would offer more contact surface

[@WalmartBiker]

Sam Wagner aren’t impact sockets softer while chrome sockets are harder and more brittle? Therefore, impact sockets handle impacts better. Seems like if you wanted the most energy transfer a harder socket (chrome socket) would be best.

[@samwagner31]

AaronMoore I don’t believe so.. I’m no metallurgist so I could be wrong, but I believe that impact sockets have a greater hardness so that they don’t twist as much as a standard socket, and they’re built thicker so that they don’t shatter. Like I said, I could be wrong. I’m not an expert, just a diesel tech student.

[@cobrasvt347]

Your losing all Your impact ability with that 12 point socket. All it's doing is putting energy into the very edge of the nut and springing back in the socket wall.

[@nickgibb4687]

correct, i was thinking the same thing. And with a non-impact socket, tolerances are loose

[@dposcuro]

....So, what you're saying is....is that it was even more impressive that it was able to crack that edge nut loose, right?

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

Yeah, you are correct. Like i said though, I can't invest in sockets I will never use again

[@nickgibb4687]

thats fine but i have the same unit and if i can afford a $700 unit i can afford common size sockets. obviously im not putting a 7/8 or 1in on it. like a welder im not going to start the gen set to weld some horseshoes together for a hook. the lil hobart works perfect

[@dposcuro]

@@nickgibb4687 "FULL DISCLOSURE: Milwaukee is sending us tools to use, to make videos with, and to give some away." I am assuming, that you assumed, that he bought the 1" rattle-cannon?

[@brianpeters4486]

Impact socks would make a big difference not only for fit but mass. If you simply make the socket heavier the gun will hit harder. Problem is you can't always fit a fat walled socket in places like on that mag plate bolt you were showing.

[@SidewaysInTraffic]

Not necessarily. Chrome is harder and less forgiving. Impacts are softer which makes them handle more "impacts". I would disagree a heavier socket will make the impact stronger.

[@jeremyhundley3142]

@@SidewaysInTraffic Brian is on to something! The more mass that is rotating, the stronger the impact. So, if you get a socket with thicker walls than thinner, it will be more efficient. A good example is crankshaft sockets on cars- they are super beefy.

[@SidewaysInTraffic]

[@chocolate_squiggle]

@@jeremyhundley3142 But the socket isn't rotating? It's the hammer inside the impact wrench that rotates. Bigger hammer = bigger impact, but I don't think the socket mass comes into play. However, I imagine tighter tolerances and 6 point rather than 12 would probably make a difference.

Penetrating oil, wd-40, heat, breaker bars, adapters, extensions, broke two ratchets with two meter extensions when jumping on them! The nuts would not budge! Then i got a propper impact 6-point pipe and they all came off like butter!

[@markguthrie4178]

Another reason why the smaller gun can break a bolt loose that the bigger gun tightened is because break away torque is always less than um tightening torque. It makes sense if you think about it, when you tighten a bolt down it takes more force because you're essentially wedging the threads in.

Check out that generator you also need to use them both in the same situations. If your near an outlet your probably near air as well and better off using pneumatic.

[@jasmith1867]

I hope you're getting some money for demonstrating these bad ass tools. A lot of guys are gonna want that 1 inch impact to use on street vehicle just because it is sooooooooooo BAD ASS.

[@Dilanom]

I'd like to see if it could remove diff yoke nuts and if I can tighten it up enough without needing a big 1" air impact

[@3511manlyman]

Ive managed to do so with the half inch on trucks

[@mcmc8496]

I've had lots of success with my 3/4" impact with old crusty nuts if after the initial reverse hits to go to forward position (tighten) and give it a couple seconds of impact and a lot of times will release some of the crud in the threads and then reverse it works a lot of times when merely reversing won't get it...

[@mikestrucks]

Awesome! New upload 😬👍🏻

[@ziggybammurphy191]

We use 3/4’s in the bucket trucks (electric line trade)....thing is absolutly fantastic...took the hydraulic hoses and gun and put them in the side-till.....its got more than enough power and the battery just lasts and lasts...i cant even imagine the power of this beast...

[@flatbrimsickdope2050]

Holy shit, the amount of "expert metalurgist socket engineers" weighing in is amazing! Great content, I remember thinking a 20V DeWalt 1/2 was the bee's knees.

[@Deutschehordenelite]

Well what does it say when everyone agrees on something? ;)

[@mandycole21]

I'd really like to see it be used with a multiplier ....like maybe a 4x multiplier.... Also try to find a concrete paver or a concrete spreader to used it on and see what all it can do then????

[@Elaba_]

I would at least look away when using such unsafe sockets or protect my eyes in another way.

[@MichaelJones-xp8kf]

Lot of people never do it. If you would spray those rusty crusty nasty theads around the bolt saturate it good with pb blaster or equivalent let set few minutes. That would help your impact tremendous on removing stuck on rusty bolts.

[@RoadRunnerMeep]

4:25, have you never considered the new induction heaters rather than oxy?

[@thomasjames734]

Inductive heaters have there place but the coils are also expensive and he was saying they just cut them off and replace the bolts

[@RoadRunnerMeep]

@@thomasjames734 I wouldn't consider inductive heater coils expensive. You can make your own gun for about $100 and the coils are dirt cheap, it's nothing more than copper tubing. Each to their own though. I agree cutting bolts is usually the fastest way of doing things as the cost of replacing them would be cheap. It may still be a useful tool to own though working on farms as I imagine all the mud and water would cake shit up

[@GeddyRC]

Man, nothing's more satisfying than a screamin' impact wrench.That 1" is badass!

[@bahopik]

It doesn't feel as powerful as Milwaukee advertises it, it had hard time loosening nuts on a dry van, after taking off and reinstalling four wheels, it was already cutting out due to over heating even though it had time to cool off in the shade while tires were getting dismounted and swapped out. I'm betting Milwaukee stretched the truth a little, 1" air guns are not dead yet even though I thought otherwise buying this tool

[@Erev4u]

I realized holding the trigger down for long doese nothing but if you do like 8second at a time and a 2 second brake it doese much better

[@jacobszymczak9323]

Was the loader still in use or effectively retired and just sitting around?

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

Both. Just bought and brought from another yard where it sat idle for a bit

[@earluke2592]

When using an battery impact driver, always use the biggest battery available - its a matter of peak power output (peak ampere) and use the hardest impact driver nuts (black steel) you can get. Every tiny little bit of flex will dramatically reduce impact torque. Also a good tap with a hammer and a pipe (so you will only hit the nut, but no damage the screw) will help (and off course heat and penetrating oil and swearing like a madman).

[@matts2ndgen]

The 1" impact is "Nuts" 😏

[@AlaskanFalcon]

max torque come from the first few seconds the trigger is pulled and falls off after that. So when I'm using mine on a stubborn nut, I'll use it in bursts. Works just about every time, and definitely better than just holding the trigger wide open.

[@JosephArata]

Those electric impacts should only be trusted for removing stuff, not tightening them. They are biased towards reverse torque not forward torque. That 1" electric impact probably barely puts out 300 ft-lb in forward. More like 700 ft-lbs in reverse, not their bullshit 1800 ft-lbs that an actual pneumatic 1" impact would have in reverse.

[@joshbracht3244]

You've obviously never used one. My 1/2 inch fuel tightens to well over 600 ft lbs with ease. Done it multiple times on wheels.

[@greengolftee87]

No. Pneumatic tools were biased in a certain direction due to the air motor inside. Electric motors don't care what direction they're going.

[@havingfun8192]

Batojiri1 i didn’t believe the power numbers either so I did real world testing. I physically torqued bolts to values they advertise and given a good fitting socket with no extension and rust free they’ll do exactly what they claim they will do. I change several tires underground in fact I changed a tire on a CAT AD 30 rock truck last week and wheel torque is 740 ft/lbs my M18 fuel 3/4 gun will turn every nut to 740 (checked via torque wrench). I do however agree that you should not use a battery impact for tightening unless you check torque by hand afterwards.

[@havingfun8192]

I’ve also used my 3/4 fuel to remove bolts a 1” pneumatic gun couldn’t do

[@nickgibb4687]

just like when they changed horsepower rating on small engines to foot lbs. it was all deceptive to the end user. ex. 400horse but 20 foot lbs...who wouldnt want to snowblow with 400 horses but can only shoot out 3ft....lol

[@mattt198654321]

I hear that when they get to be past 40 years old, nuts become increasingly difficult to bust. It really helps to have the right tools.

[@shortchange26]

Chrome sockets. I predict anvil replacement in the near future. Shame on you.

[@shortchange26]

Also, rusty nuts are rarely the issue. It's the through bolts seized in the bushings that are the real trouble makers.

[@ayitsyaboi]

@@shortchange26 I don't even try with bolts seized in bushing sleeves. Cut or torch them out and replace the bushings. Fuck that nonsense.

[@paulristow9066]

I have a 1/2 inch drive Milwaukee love it has saved me a lot of work.

[@johnsailor6081]

I still prefer air tools, but that’s just me 🤷‍♂️

[@krystiankrychu2507]

That was a proper test for impacts not like most of tests showing breaking fresh tightened nuts

[@ranchotools]

Real test, for sure

[@Jcasta8]

Regular socket and a shared battery not designed for it makes it a real test? Using an impact socket and a 12.0 would have made a huge difference.

[@itisdrew1938]

I use my 1 inch milwaukee super gun to spin lug nuts off semi trucks, I found that sometimes you have to help the gun by spinning tbe socket with your hand and it makes a big difference.

[@TravisInCanada1]

Would be interesting to see some sort of winch system where the drills are turning a bolt maybe welded to a chain holding an engine block (or something)

[@nickdonatoni4741]

I had the same problem I ended up using air, BUT! I use the 1 in cordless for a lot. Some heat helped also

[@alexaguilar6697]

being an iron worker I've used these on jobsites on structures. with the heat in the sun all day+impacting bolts the battery over heats and becomes useless for a good 15min.

[@jamesdavies7526]

I can't believe Milwaukee approved of this video!!

[@george1234596]

It:s hot There's alot of energy in that 100% accurate statement

[@ippielb]

I had bought an old Allis and Chalmers m-100 grader that sat in the bush for 20 years, there was a water line on the blade during spring melt off. And I have an igersoll 3/4” impact that was able to get all but two bolts off. Had to get the old grinder wrench out. Always wanted the milwake cordless but couldn’t swallow the price tag.

[@chevy5137]

The 9.0amp battery has plenty of juice and to be honest I use a 5.0amp battery in my 1/2" Milwaukee M18 FUEL One-Key High Torque Impact Gun I keep in my truck and a 6.0amp High Output in the one I keep in my Toolbox and it gives them plenty of power especially the 6.0amp High Output battery but if I really need some extra power I'll throw a 9.0amp or 12.0amp battery on them, however that rarely happens. With the big 1" gun though it would have been cool to see u throw a 12.0amp battery on it! There are only a few of my Milwaukee M18 tools that I use with a 12.0amp battery on a regular basis, my 10" Milwaukee M18 FUEL Dual Bevel Compound Sliding Miter Saw, of course my 8-1/2" Milwaukee M18 FUEL Table Saw, my 16" Milwaukee M18 FUEL chainsaw and my new 7-1/4" Milwaukee M18 FUEL Rear Handle (worm drive style left hand blade) Circular Saw which is a total beast and occasionally I will throw a 12.0amp battery on my Milwaukee M18 Blower and Line Trimmer not for the power but for the runtime usually I just use 9.0amp batteries with them. Oh and I will usually use a 12.0amp battery with my Milwaukee M18 FUEL 3 in 1 Backpack Vacuum since it goes thru batteries quick. it's to bad I don't run more tools on 12.0amp batteries cuz I actually have 3 of them lol! I used to have all DeWalt tools, I had 10 of them and 7 batteries. But when they were stolen I got a couple Ridgid 18-Volt tools cuz it's what I could afford at the time and I ended up really liking them and before i knew it I had 15 Ridgid tools, if you count my 2 extra JobMax heads which I do since even though they attach to the JobMax base they each turn the JobMax into a totally different tool, and I have 7 batteries unfortunately my largest Ridgid batteries are two 5.0amp ones. I got into the Milwaukee M18 tool line when I got sent some Milwaukee M18 tools for free thru a testing program I was in and they also sent me five 5.0amp batteries which was great since we all know batteries are one of the most expensive costs when breaking into a new tool line. Now I have 20 Milwaukee M18 tools and 12 M18 batteries with my smallest ones being my 5.0amp ones, except for one 2.0amp battery I bought for my Surge Impulse Driver to keep it light. With Brushless motors and Lithium-Ion batteries we have now 12-volt tools aren't a joke anymore and there was a certain Milwaukee M12 tool I wanted so I decided to pick it up and since it had plenty of power I picked up 4 more Milwaukee M12 tools I had my eye on and ended up with 5 M12 mi tools and 5 M12 batteries. Anyways I ramble on like crazy, I guess the point is that I do like Ridgid tools but Milwaukee are the best tools out there, go team RED! If I needed a 1" impact gun then you better believe I'd have that 1" Milwaukee M18 FUEL Impact Gun! BTW what is the max reverse torque rating on it, like 1800ft-lbs of torque isn't it? I can't believe the One-Key version of the 1" Milwaukee M18 Impact Gun in a kit with two 8.0amp High Output batteries, a charger and carrying bag is $1000, that ain't cheap!

[@thomashelmberger6151]

6:10 help him with your hand, twisting on the nut counter clock wise. allwas helps on lose bolts.

[@mattsfirewoodvideos738]

I use the half inch drive Milwaukee at work just about every day changing axles on trailers and putting on 15/16th tounge bolts

[@johnpossum556]

Try a bottom bracket on an old bicycle. I recently had one from 1996 that my 450 ft lb gun would not take off. Sprayed it. Could not use a torch as the full suspension elastomer was an inch away. I tried several days. In desperation I finally cranked my compressor up to max and it still took like 2 minutes but it got it off. Go craftsman!

[@Nascar-zv9lh]

My dad and brother always bought dewalt stuff, lasted for home use. But once I started working at a landfill man that dewalt stuff did not last. we bought a bunch of Milwaukee stuff. I’m ready to see how they hold up, if they last like the 6 grease guns we have that’d be beautiful
