Experimental ONE OF A KIND impact wrench - Does the ambition outweigh the current technology?

In all honesty I don't know what I was thinking. It seems like this impact wrench has been thought through. Looks like the spring in the impact mechanism is the strongest it can be without having to deal with any issues.
The claim is 520Nm, but we all know what Aliexpress claims are like. Although it does hover around the 200Nm mark, which is not bad for the price. The experimental version can even go beyond that.
It seems that with a stiffer spring in some cases the motor can not overpower the tension of the spring so you have to pull the trigger in just the right position. Is it worth the hassle?
You decide and let me know!
Original Gisam video: • GISAM from Aliexpress ...
It did end up being more of a fun and not a factual video, but as I have said I want to make tool reviews AND have fun on this channel. I hope you enjoy my ambitious but rubbish project!

Cool to see this tested! So the tool was indeed somewhat limited by the spring, but the motor is definitely not torquey enough to overcome the stronger spring huh. You've kindof created the opposite of the hikoki triple hammer which skips impacts under heavy load!

@BrokeLifeEU 5 ай бұрын

Hmm, it would be interesting to try a triple hammer on this. *Grabs disproportionately large plasma welder.* I think there is some promise here, with proper high output batteries. However if I spend 50EUR on a battery why would I use it on this and not on the real thing. It was indeed interesting to get this done. Initially I felt I had achieved something and then the battery started to drain and I was drained of my achievement. Still surprising that with a full charge it can do better with the genuine Makita spring than with the Gisam spring in there. 20Nm difference is not too much of an overstatement I feel.

@@BrokeLifeEUthere's a German youtuber who tried parkside 8Ah batteries on Makita knockoffs via an adapter with good results (SiegfriedBuba). I know Makita don't want to switch to better batteries on their LXT because they're trying to push people towards 40v XGT, but they're missing the boat imo, stuck on 5Ah 18650s. Imagine the possibilities of pouch cells or even 21700s on their lxt range, I'd frankly be tempted to upgrade my whole loadout and sell what I have of Parkside and others. Their tools are maybe less powerful but more reliable and serviceable than Milwaukee and Bosch, with the exception of their hammer drills. Never paying for XGT tools though, crazy prices for marginal gains

I also wanted to do that in this video. However I thought it would become too long and burdensome to watch. Still I think there is some more exploring to do in the battery area. I saw a claimed 16Ah Makita-like battery on Aliexpress today. I think that would be fun to try out. No info on the cells used in it though.

Looks like i won't be changing any springs. I have the 1200nm impact wrench from gisam and its very powerful. You should definitely try it someday.

@BrokeLifeEU 5 ай бұрын

I ordered the Onevan version a couple of months ago, their 1800Nm version. First impressions are that it is a very strong impact wrench for that price. In this case the hypothesis regarding the different springs deserved some testing. I had hopes it would end up being a good mod, unfortunately it turned out not to be so. Best case scenario on a full battery you gain 10-15Nm, but I think it will severely shorten the motor's life so it is not worth it.

Yes, I think had I forced a bit more the electronics on mine would have also went the way of the Dodo. Still I think they can last as long as you don't overwork them too much.

I have the 1800Nm version. I can confirm it ia nowhere bear that. But it can take off rusty bolts from a 4x4 that have nit been remived in years. So for use in cars I would say it is good enough. If you ise it with a decent battery it should be even better!

Out of the box unmodified What were the highest NM values you got to? For example forwards/reversed?

@BrokeLifeEU 5 ай бұрын

On a full battery and a good day also on a boot with no rust and that has just been installed. 210Nm-220Nm at most. After that it is anyones guess. It might go it or it might not it will depend on the unit. A safe guess is 200Nm at most. How long it can continue doing that is still unknown. The cells in the battery are questionable at best. The tool itself looks like it can take a beating and is capable of a bit more but the battery is the the main issue holding it back.

First time I did this modification in 2020, when TopShak starts. Try to use 6Ah original Makita battery, that will be another 'mod', than you will see total difference. I tried to modified larger of wrench version with spring from DTW700, but there it was bad mod, after that spring wrench was much weaker :-\

I was actually surprised by how on the edge they managed to engineer it! I thought they would leave some room just to be sure. But it seems like they managed to fit the tightest spring thy could without scarfing on anything. I hope my video budget will allow me at some point to get to a genuine Makita battery! The spring in this case was something like 3 EUR and the anvil another 3 EUR so I wanted to see if I could get squeeze some more torque out of the Gisam for as little as possible.

@BrokeLifeEU 5 ай бұрын

For sure those things are nowhere near their torque rating. Even so I got the Onevan for something like 50EUR on sale with two batteries and a charger. It should be plenty good for any bolt or nut on a car. It's just with these Aliexpress tools the batteries charge so painfully slow that is a big discomfort for someone like me, who, can't plan out their time right.

@BrokeLifeEU 5 ай бұрын

Hello! Thank you for commenting! SO I have checked both these Gisam impacts and the LEDs behave just as you describe. They are a bit weird you are right, however since it does not have too much power I usually just set it to LARGE (max power) and leave it there. The way I read the LED indicators in forward one says SMALL and the other LARGE. Small might be for screws (using the 1/4" hex) and Large for bolts/nuts using the 1/2" drive square. I hope I am being helpful here. I don't really use these a lot.

I have the same but not Gisam, i have other generic aliexpress impact wrench and i think the battery is lower quality than yours, i cant lose any lug nuts in any car, it probably has no more than 70 NM, i am thinking about modifying the battery, ditching these crap cells and put there some Sony/Murata 25 to 30 Amps instead. I dont know if that is possible, not sure if the BMS will hold in this crap

@BrokeLifeEU 5 ай бұрын

I am not surprised I doubt for this price they have any quality control. Anything that is assembled and looks like it should is ready to be shipped most probably. It is very hit and miss buying tools from Aliexpress as you don't have a genuine return option so they'll just send you something and you have to hope for the best. Regarding the batteries I have not tested this myself, but I do see in the comments many people do say that better batteries make a difference on these.

@@BrokeLifeEU makita as uses Sony murata cells from 15 to 35 amps of discharge which means depending on the configuration (3ah, 4ah, etc ) it can deliver power bursts of up to 1300w. These cells are expensive as you can imagine, mines should not be anything close to them as the battery itself was a 12 euro option extra and with 12 euro you barely buy one or two quality high discharge cell …that’s why it can’t move any nut

Yes, although I was surprised to find that the Gisam batteries have two rows of 5 cells and that they are in fact around the 4Ah mark. They are decent for the price. Although as no warranty claim can be made on these tools a bit on the risky side. And the charging is painfully slow! @@ferfire9
