Impact Wrench Accessory That You ABSOLUTLY NEED TO SEE! (It will save you hundreds of dollars)

[@chriswebb3018]

That adapter is nice to have as a back up in your kit or for someone that can't afford both tools. But if you are using a impact driver as a daily tool don't think buying a imapact wrench and this adapter is the ultimate solution because its not. Impact drivers don't hit as hard but have higher rpm's for driving screws faster. This is a good adapter for people that work on cars and don't really need a dedicated driver but may want the option to remove the occasional screws with a power tool instead of a screwdriver.

[@alexyu6928]

Many newer stubby impact wrenches have three speed/torque settings and variable triggers. Once you have driven a few screws you will get the feel of the torque and power so over driving any screws can be avoided.

[@1ninpo]

Thats the answer if you say it to an beginner. To the a lil experienced guys with an education completed for example, they already have the feeling for things.. i guess..

[@danielchavez392]

I have and save you time, thats it!

[@Its_Sparkyyy]

I used the Dewalt version on my 1/2 sub compact Dewalt for a few months and recent picked up the new dcf850 and I can say the 850 is a beast but the dcf923 with the adapter will still run in most screws just as fast. Some smaller shorter screws the 850 beats the 923 by a lot but for the most part it’s a good experience. Although I do go straight to the smaller lighter and faster spinning 850 first now so I really think it depends on the use case and which impact drivers/wrenchs you’re comparing

[@danielchavez392]

Well yesterday i use my ryobi 3/8 impact wrench, whit the milwakee 3/8 to 1/ 4 quick load adapter…. I repair 2 chairs, put like 4 hangers and a couple things more, its the ultimate solution… i can change my quad and cars tyres, do other power stuff too… and its really a good ítem, but if u work and make money of this, u have to buy the two, the driver and the wrench… and side a rotary hammer

[@thomasbuzzi3234]

Good presentation. I was just this week standing in a Home Depot trying to get someone, anyone to tell me something about impact tools. After about a half hour, I left. This video is quite timely and now I know I will buy the Milwaukee 1/2 inch anvil medium weight impact WRENCH! Thank you!

I just wanted to add one more comment for others benefit another house fire in lost my husband of 27 years and after sleeping on the ground in a tent for over a year I decided to try and rebuild on the property and found out real quick how much I didn't know and if any of you have ever walked into Lowe's or Home Depots or any of the big companies and ask for advice you already know that the first thing they do is direct you to the most expensive thing they can and don't really tell you nothing except for this is what you want and so that left me high and dry quite often since I have found your site which is very well spoken I now am confident and beginning to build a small little place to call my home again which I have gained from your sights you have three very important factors and your continuous with them number one you check out the product and you put it out there straightforward without trying to drag it into a 3-hour video that tells you about one minute information which a lot of sites do to you make it a point to explain it and detail it as well as review it and you give a price approximate which is a big deal if you're on very limited income and want to do the right thing with the right tool and with your tips suggestions and the visual demonstrations and honesty I feel completely confident I know exactly what I need when I walk in to the store or start a project for all these qualities above I thank you once more and when I finish I will send you a pic just so you guys can see that you made a difference thank you kindly stay safe & Jesus keep you close

Hay brother went to Home Depot today picked up the Milwaukee M12 brushless fuel 3/8 impact wrench I ended up paying $50 tool only because I brought a friend of mine he's in a motorcycle club and his friend purchased the Husky 60 gallon stand-up air compressor for his shop I think I said to you yesterday Sarah asking $250 regular price almost $700 if I wanted it I could have got it for $150. My friend paid 250 plus tax and say hook me up with the impact wrench very impressed can't wait to use it.

Unfortunately I discovered impact drivers before I determined I needed an impact wrench. I did buy the wrench later, too, though -- the 1/2in Ridgid Octane impact wrench. But you are spot on, Clint. I could've saved some significant $$$ if I hadn't done it "in the wrong order."

[@BudgetBuiltDiesel]

My ryobi impact wrench came with an adapter to make it into a driver. Tried to drive a screw and it snapped it off right away when it started impacting. The wrenches hit different. They have heavier springs and anvils. Probably works nice on the smaller impact wrenches like what you used. I like using my impact drivers as a impact wrench with the socket adapters. But never the impact wrench as a driver.

[@black_n5492]

I'm getting a 2663, the older Milwaukee impact wrench. It has about 450ft. lb do you think that's too much to bother using this adapter?

[@viperzz5609]

​@@black_n5492 yes definitely

[@viperzz5609]

​@@black_n5492 most brushless impact drivers have like 1800 or more inch pounds of torque which equates to about 150 ft lbs of torque

With practice you’ll get a feel for it.

[@RinKirit0]

@@black_n5492no you just have to be careful, just hit it until it’s about to impact and stop

[@CMOS357]

You are the man!! Why has no one mentioned this before? This adapter all you need is your impact wrench and you already got the driver and typically save $150 or more by not having to buy a second tool good job keep up the good work 👍

[@ToolReviewZone]

Thanks for the awesome comment CM!!!!

[@stubbarn]

You answered your own question mate 😄. Manufacturers prefer us to get as many tools as we want us to think.

[@toolinhand]

That's better than turning an impact driver into a wrench, like many of us have done. Mainly because a driver is usually weaker than a wrench, and it's better to have something stronger in case you need it.

[@paedahe4975]

The adapter he is showing is awesome for the m12 stubby wrench.

[@NjoyMoney]

You can just manually brake lose those that are harder. Impact drivers way much less than wrenches

[@Jtwizzle]

I got the dewalt one from lowes for $7, pretty awesome accessory! There are ones for 3/8 as well and also keyless/keyed drill chuck adapters!

[@shinigami1265]

This is awesome. Even having both, a wrench and driver, is good to have just in case the driver dies

[@alejandrodelgado4298]

Why would it die? Do you not have another battery?

[@kylefowler5082]

man I wish I found out about this earlier in life haha, I just did a job where I had to remove/reinstall 200 t40 torx deck bolts at a marina to run an electrical line. Most of those t40's broke loose ok but some were too strong for my Ridgid Octane driver even with an Octane battery. If I had that adapter I might have been able to use my mid torque impact wrench to break those bolts loose. Either that or break the t40 bits haha. Either way it was an extreme pain when a screw wouldn't come out and I had to skip that board and work around it. Thanks for this great advice, I think I'm going to get one myself!

[@bwselectronic]

You could tell your friend to get Freaky. The Bosch Freak has the ability to take 1/4in bits and 1/2in sockets. Lowe's has the HD version on sale for $99. They have the older version at $89 but it's not as powerful so it's worth the extra $10.

[@alcopower5710]

I think the new one is brushless and the older one isn’t. If I’m not mistaken

[@dvxAznxvb]

Yeah my stubby has more speed control than majority of drill drivers out there; love the auto drive function to prevent me from destroying things with the cam out

[@HelmetVanga]

I almost bought another driver for drill bits and fasteners and screws and so forth. The adapter accessory is ingenious. Thanks a bunch.

[@Mrdhinesh1]

Thanks mate. For sharing the adapter link from Amazon. You helped me save a couple of dollars by not getting the impact driver. 🎉

[@TymmyDee]

I bought these. Found them too deep for 25mm bits. Also using them hard the bits would get stuck inside. Bought the DeWalt adapter in the end. Mush better. Quick insert on handed. Can still use 25mm bits and still get them out. Bits don't get jammed. Maybe have a look at the DeWalt for an upgrade. Yes its more expensive and you only get one. One is all you need.

[@Jiangster]

How does this compare to using an adapter to go from an impact driver to an impact wrench?

[@bigbadtree]

Had one of these for years, they're included with the type of impact driver you hit with a hammer.

[@paedahe4975]

Or you can just buy the Bosch Freak and it’s already made that way. Oh, and the Macheeta fakie impacts on Amazon tend to have the hex and 1/2” anvil already. I like the adapter for the Milwaukee wrenches. That’s what’s going on.

[@ghffrsfygdhfjkjiysdz]

Impact wrench only has rotary impacts. Impact driver has rotary and axial impacts. The axial impact is what keeps the philips screw bits not jumping out of the head.

[@hotswap_tofu5087]

Can you buy impact wrench and put 1/4 adapter instead? Wrech has more torque btw. What are the drawback

[@kartboarder22g17]

I have the M12 impact driver and I have the M12 stubby I can pull out to do this if I run into something the M12 driver can't do. Which I haven't run into yet. Also I have the 6.0 M12 battery so that helps. I got a $3 adapter to go to 1/4 hex from 3/8 square for the stubby from Menards. Basically I plan to never or barely ever use the stubby for screws but nice to have in case I need it. .

[@Fredengle]

so would you recoomend using a wrench as a driver ? I have an impact driver but will I be happy if I buy a wrench and use an impact driver adatper as you did in the video?

[@Biaanca5036]

Even though an impact is SLOWER than a driver, the wrench will definitely sink the 4 inch T40 lag screw faster than a driver will. A lot of swingssets/junglegyms use hundreds of those enourmous T40 lags

[@richb2229]

I put one of these on an old impact gun. I use it occasionally for odd things at home. It’s not anything special but it’s versatile enough to justify the few dollars I spent on it. At some point I will probably replace it with a M-12 1/4” drive impact driver.

[@milwsdl39]

You know it’s funny about a year ago I got a Chinese knock off Makita half-inch impact it has that already built on the anvil it came in handy a couple times already great video though

[@stuartduncan2772]

I thought that impact drivers and impact wrenches were different because the percussive stakes go in different directions? The driver strikes into the screw while the wtench strikes in the direction that your are turning e.g. tightening or loosening. Is this correct?

Bought a makita small 1/2" wrench since it went on sale, for taking machines apart on the farm or changing tires. Seems handy and wanted to make it more handy. If something is really fucked it'll have to be by my garage anyway so then I can break out the 3/4" air wrench if shit isn't going to move🤣. So figured why not. Glad to see this little wrench is going to be worked like a dog now putting tin on buildings and everything else without having to shell out 300 -500 more for an impact driver

[@nfavor]

This nice but every new impact should have an anvil like the Bosh Freak. Best of both worlds.

[@bluemantom77]

True I have the original freak idh 182 it just doesn't have the power as good as an impact driver but is an impact wrench it only has 137 foot pounds as an impact wrench if they're able to come out with one that has 300 foot pounds yeah

[@hydrocarbon82]

Not arguing against that but for $5 you can get a 1/4" hex to 1/4-3/8-1/2" square drive adapter. If Milwaukee had their stubby M12 out ages ago, I'd have taken this video's suggestion.

[@Dale37]

The Bosch freak isn't very powerful though and I wonder if it has anything to do with that dual purpose anvil. A ½" anvil with enough material removed to use a ¼" bit isn't very strong anymore and with an M12 Stubby impact being able to produce 400+ ft.lbs of torque, the anvil has to be pretty damn strong.

[@X302smokedyou]

@@hydrocarbon82 you can but you wont have a very powerful impact wrench that way, and those adapters are prone to breaking.

[@geoffstrickler]

Going to be most useful on a stubby low torque impact wrench, otherwise, you’re doing to overpower it. Even then,the extra length and weight might not make it practical for many users. But, for someone primarily using it as an impact wrench, and has a mid-torque with multiple speed/torque settings, or has a low-torque, I can see it working as a light use impact driver.

[@EG-mh4in]

I've been using 1 for about 12 years

[@cecilmicko6828]

It seems to me that the half inch impact wrench will have a higher torque then the smaller impact driver meant for the bits you show. You will have to visually slow down and stop the half inch impact wrench every time so the screws won't be over torqued or broken. With the impact driver, for instance from Milwaukee 2505-20 M12 FUEL Installation Drill/Driver the torque is up to 300 in-lbs of max torque. If someone is putting a lot of screws into something then a smaller impact driver would be more efficient. But if someone only has a few screws to put into something and they are aware of how powerful the larger impact wrench you suggest is, then this attachment you recommend would be beneficial.

[@ViolentKisses87]

I have always used my impact driver as a impact wrench I didn't even know there were impact wrenches. Whats the difference other than maybe stripping out the bit? More torque perhaps?

[@ToolReviewZone]
