Do you NEED EVERY Milwaukee Impact Wrench? You're gonna be surprised!

This is the Milwaukee Impact Wrench Showcase. We're going to look at all three categories, including stubbies, mid-torque, and high-torque. And best of all, we're going to let one of you pick one to keep!

[@itsawonderfullife3995]

I really like the format of this video. Clear, concise & practical. I appreciated that you spoke about considerations for choosing friction ring vs. pin detent. It might have been a nice addition if you'd made similar comments regarding choice of 3/8" vs. 1/2" drive. Great job overall!

[@pbrust]

This is a very clear explanation of the different models. Thank you! The mid-torque would be great for our steam engines restoration projects.

[@altimarimaltimarim1778]

I bought the high torque one. Just in case a bolt doesn’t want to budge.

[@gatekeeper99924]

same, but i’ve been thinking about returning it. idk why though. fucking thing literally doesn’t give a shit.

[@watchmanexpert]

@@gatekeeper99924 I returned mine and bought mild torque

[@foxwithtubesox1075]

I'm gonna buy one. I need to change the clutch in my car, along with some suspension components. The subframe will have to come off, so I want to have that power at my disposal in case I have some stubborn bolts/nuts. I think I'm going to wait until the sales begin, though. Hopefully Black Friday will bring good deals.

[@cole4449]

After using our 3/4” air impact for 10 minutes on the same bolt and not getting anywhere I went and bought one and it did the job in under 10 seconds!

[@pvnchos1478]

Compact 1/2 wrench works well.

[@unclegundy6930]

I would definitely use that 1/2” high torque for my heavy equipment apprenticeship! Nice comparison, looking through the impacts that Milwaukee makes there’s way too many to choose from

[@josephalexander3884]

This information was so important to me, that I saved it in four categories. Thank you again.

[@Slav_from_NJ]

Great video! I went to Home Depot so many times trying to pick right impact wrench and I always was so confused which one right for me as a beginner contractor. Now thank to you guys I know what I need. Thank you.

[@shredyourlight4008]

Awesome explanation! Excellent job brother! I’m a huge fan of Milwaukee impacts I have an M12 3/8 Stubby for fixing snowmobiles in my sled shop! If I could pick one I would totally go for a 3/8’s mid in the M18, it would definitely get some solid use this winter! Keep crushing out the content really solid video! 👊😎

[@ivancontreras391]

I've have the big impact for over a year now and it never ceases to amaze me but I am looking to buy a mid size since that would handle 99.99% of my jobs between working on cars and things around the house. Less bulky and enough torque to get the job done. Definitely a must have.

[@ericktorres5451]

Send it on the mid torque I use it everyday, I’m at lube tech at Toyota and we use the mid torques literally to remove and put lugs on all day

[@keithwaters8562]

I have a 6727inpack and I use it for the big bolts on my tractor if I had the smaller one could use it in smaller spaces on my tractor would work great.

[@oculophilia918]

Yeah if you don't have a diesel truck you don't need the high torque.

[@mg8718]

You gotta get one of each of all of them!

[@spanzek]

I love the new Milwaukee impact torque wrenches. I plan on using it for putting Tapcon fasteners into a concrete floor and for changing my own truck tires for summer and winter use.

[@OnTarget100]

WOW you have just cleared the air for me. Thank you so much for putting it in easy to understand plain English. Very well presented. Peace from Sydney Australia

[@James-xg1se]

I do a lot of work on autos, I've been checking out impacts for a while. I've been drooling everytime I see a video about one with the hope that one day I will get one. I'm convinced that Milwaukee makes the best impacts, and ratchets in the market right now I really need one I have my eyes on a few mid impacts, the 2853, 2855 and the 2962. Thanks for the info you helped me decide which impact I need please keep up the good work

[@gabrielcordo130]

My by far favorite line of Milwaukee tools, 1/2 inch mid torque has been my favorite for a few years. If I got a compact I could finally ditch my old impact driver with a socket adapter and make stuck fasteners a thing of the past on my machines.

[@ToolShow]

We're choosing our winner this Saturday, 6/12/21! If you haven't left a comment yet, be sure to do so!

[@earlclauson9047]

Milwaukee I believe makes the best power tools so I 've decided to get the 1/2" mid torque inpact wrench to support my job as a mechanic who works on tractors and as a DIY who works on my car, friends and families cars. I love this tool to heart. Thanks for making such great tools milwaukee.

[@Oilcruzer]

This was well articulated. Clear, informative, to the point. Well done!

[@ToolShow]

Thanks Steve!

[@JasonOwensJLO]

I recently started my own small motorsports shop, could definitely make use of any of those impacts

[@PaidForward630]

Endless uses! I’m the “go-to fixit guy” in our neighborhood, having any one of these would be a huge help. Thank you!!

[@aronp713]

thanks for great video , kept it short and simple . my first time a buying a milwaukee tools im going for the M18 FUEL Gen-2 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Mid Torque 1/2 in. Impact Wrench w/Friction Ring

[@mattt9200]

Thanks for the video. Been looking at these for a little while to get away from my air lines.. I will need mine every day working on cars in many different applications.

[@hugocasbis8856]

I’m an electrician so this tool would be on my backpack for sure… a million uses!!

[@jacobcounterman5536]

I've been looking into buying an impact wrench for some time now, I've always done maitainance on my own car and I love learning more and more about fixing something when it goes out. I would love to have a mid-torque to get me started on my long journey I have ahead of me.

[@es-qf2gw]

recommend the m12 1/2stubby fuel impact for work on cars, it does like 85% of the bolts on my 13 focus, the other 10% I need the right angle M12 impact and only like 5% of the bolts I need to break out the M18 high tq (for the subframe bolts.)

[@reallyhappenings5597]

M18 mid-torque 1/2" if you can only own one

[@adrianocelentano9044]

I'm planning on using a 3/8" drive for motorcycle repairs, I find the low torque and compact size perfect for my job. Thank you for your hard work!

[@j.d.522]

Thank you for the detailed video showcasing Milwaukee impact wrenches. I enjoyed watching your content and learning about the new product lines. I have been searching for the best possible option of a top notch impact wrench. I am going to use it in my new profession in the automotive industry and I want to start on the right foot.

[@gclopez4]

Awesome breakdown Rob. I would use the mid-torque 1/2 w/ friction ring to help my mother in law. Her and her husband just had a concrete slab poured and have a metal building being delivered and would need to be assembled. So I know that impact would get plenty of use.

[@MyTubeSVp]

My lawn mower’s starter is on the fritz, so I’ll start my motor with this. 👍

[@kingkizer1915]

Great video as always, I would use these on any job needing torque and Milwaukee always is the tool of choice. I am wanting that set of sockets also. Thanks Milwaukee for all the great products.

[@gioazzarello1333]

I’m restoring my grandpas 51 pickup and that’s what I would mainly use it for! Super awesome video and good information. I’d probably go with the high torque!

[@mxdirtbagg2]

Great info! I’m On the road to becoming a certified electrician, one of these would be a life saver

[@rpatrick2]

Wera has a power screwdriver. I want to make one of my own. So much tool porn.

[@ryangallagher16]

I would use the mid torque in my trusty “My partner swears they didn’t see the pothole…or curb” kit.

[@jonathantrevino9857]

Will be using at work. Milwaukee continues to make money for me. Love the channel. R & S keep up the great job y'all doing

[@fenderjim4406]

Because of the pandemic, I finally had the time to restore some old tools, everything from a type 2 Stanley Bailey, maybe as old as 1869, to a “vintage” Milwaukee “Gen I” driver 😊…it is ironic how many new tools you need to restore old ones! I could definitely use a new impact driver for busting nuts off of old workbenches and loosening fasteners tightened over 50 years ago. Thanks for making these videos--I learn so much from you all!

[@davidduvall4655]

I'd use it to work on yard implements amazing how fast those bolts get rusted up.

[@josed22ns]

I would love to have a small compact impact for the same piping we do here at work

[@davidanderson6385]

Great explanation of the three types of impacts. I would use these for red heads, concrete bolts, to working on the cars and trucks changing tires and fixing, changing exhaust parts, to diving lags

[@davidmoughler7218]

I do my own mechanical work so I'd definitely use these for busting some of the most rusted and stubborn bolts on any one of my vehicles. I actually own the high torque impact by Milwaukee and I love it. I would definitely love one of the more compact impacts to get into tighter spaces. Surprised you didn't have the right angle impacts in this video but you're probably saving that for another video. Milwaukee tools are awesome!!!

[@bananielx3]

With three cars that need a bit of TLC, the Milwaukee's impact wrench line would be my go to-tool. I'd also be interested in the new socket set 👌

[@leojohnwayne1422]

Do you have a link of which one? This will be my first Milwaukee purchase

[@cardo1111]

As always a well done and informative vid. However I disagree if you can only have one go High Torque. The High Torque will get the stubborn fasteners that the others may not be able to tackle and prevent you from having a bad day. The other tools are great as well but relative to the High Torque model they're more for convenience. The compact, Stubby and Mid-Torque will help you work faster but a good ratchet set/open box wrenches can usually tackle what they do. That being said I own a variety of them.

[@russelllowery9099]

I would probably need it for around the house chores and working on my truck. This is a must needed tool for every person.. thanks

[@danrieman6536]

I have all three levels of impacts and they all suit their purposes. Milwaukee have Everyone beat when it comes to tools. Keep up the great work guys!! Love the reviews on this channel!!

[@carebear910]

[@Lifting_mechanic]

I know it’s to late, but I’m a public transportation mechanic and have been looking into Milwaukee for a few weeks now, the think I absolutely love about Milwaukee is the different options for batteries from the m12 up to the m18, I have been using Snap-on impacts for the longest and noticed that the 7.2 battery wasn’t strong enough to make a simple bolt torqued to 100 pounds or less break lose, a coworker took his m18 and just zipped it off as if it was finger tight!!! Anyways Amazing video and definitely going to have to get myself a mid torque impact wrench by Milwaukee to do roadcalls and deplete the whole 100 ft of hoses throughout the shop tripping and causing harm to self!

[@josephhart1031]

I’m a new mechanic I will use it for all types of job. Well I’m on a budget. And I really need one of these tools. Really appreciate you guys

I have one of Milwauke early 1/2 impact drivers, before Fuel and before compact. It's been great and was my first Milwaukee too setting me on the Milwaukee tool journey. Now I'm just a huge fanboy and love every chance I get to get a new Milwaukee tool.

[@agustinvazquez3266]

We use the high torque impact at work when building concrete beam forms. The power in these are amazing. I definitely would buy one when doing work on my SUV or truck.

[@s-chassis]

I would use it (the strongest one) for my 90's nissan's and other cars in family.

[@EragonElda777]

I'd use it to work on cars, my own and friends/family. I'm thinking one of the midtorques would be nice to have.

[@joehertel8846]

The mid torque is by far the best bang for the buck , the stubby (m12) or the compact is a very close second and the high torque is like trying to hunt squirrels with an RPG when it comes to automotive work lol honestly the only thing I've really NEEDED the high torque for is rusted in crank bolts or heavy duty diesel trucks and equipment most of the time I use the stubby for cars and trucks as large as ram 3500 diesels and anything I can't get with the little guy the mid torque breaks no prob ! But get yourself a set of jdtco shock straps for the batteries it will prevent the batteries from become loose and worn and they're really cheap and effective the boots are also a really good investment however Milwaukee is really good about their warranty

[@joehertel8846]

Get yourself the regular ratchet and the m12 stubby in 3/8 spring for the fuel 1/2 inch ratchet high speed or extended reach , the m12 die grinders are awesome and work really well and grab the 1/2 inch mid torque for heavy stuff unless your doing heavy diesel equipment in which case the high torque in 1/2 inch is your best bet , the mid torque will work for some of it but I feel like it's straining the tool when you use it for that application but for most cars and trucks I use my m12 stubby 3/8 and the m12 ratchet the most and the mid torque only for really stubborn stuff the high torque will snap wheel studs right out if youre not careful with it though just fair warning lol

[@Volksoner619]

The right angle impact is awesome for suspension and bumper work. The m12 stubby and m18 compact are also great choices. They’re both powerful enough to take off most lug nuts. The mid torque is a nice back up tool but honestly I’d say get one of the smaller ones and a breaker bar. The high torque is overkill for automotive. It’s just too bulky and heavy for constant use.

[@867stewart]

Just got a 1976 corvette and would definitely need one...... love milwaukee tools thanks guys

I’d have to pick the large 1400 impact. My brother has been wanting one and I’d gift it to him for car mechanic work

[@Sicktrickintuner]

I bought one, it’s killer for taking things apart, but honestly has too much torque for a car installation use. Ask me how i know, trailer wheel almost came off when running them in and not even trying to tighten the lug nuts. The compact or mid torque is good for most car applications.

[@T62vair]

@@Sicktrickintuner Thanks for the suggestion! Yeah looking at the numbers the mid torque really does seem the best for most installs, but it’s great to have the extra power for king pins and old rusted parts from 50+ year old trucks haha

[@Volksoner619]

@@T62vair go mid or compact and get a breaker bar. I have all 3 and the high torque is overkill and it’s VERY heavy. I work at an off-road shop and use the compact for the majority of my daily duties. I usually only break out the mid torque for gear jobs and over torqued lugs. I very rarely need the high torque.

I recently got the mid torque for things that my driver wouldn't handle and being new to cordless impacts I'm always impressed with the amount of power their able to coax from these things, it's really a beast of a tool for its size. I have found a few car things (I'm not a mechanic) where it's a little long for clearence & that stubby is looking more and more enticing every time I see it. And that new socket set...O..M..G They have like a 43 piece master set too 🤤

[@carlosbedoyaortiz5792]

I bought the compact 3/8” and ended up using my arm to get most bolts out, then yesterday I brought home a mid-impact, amazing! Game changer! Now I can see myself finishing dropping the transmission off my pick up truck. But I would love to upgrade to the high torque in the near future, just because! I just don’t want to leave my job halfway done.
