M18 FUEL™ 1/2 Mid-Torque Impact Wrench w/ Friction Ring Kit 2962.22- bit.ly/12MidTorque
M18 FUEL™ 3/8" Mid-Torque Impact Wrench w/ Friction Ring Kit delivers the best power to weight ratio, most access in tight spaces, and faster removal speed. It provides 600 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque and only weighs 5.0 lbs, making it extremely versatile, capable of performing a wide variety of applications. Its POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor generates the power needed to quickly perform many tasks, such as removing large bolts or lug nuts. This MILWAUKEE® 3/8" Impact Wrench is the most compact in its class, giving you access to stubborn fasteners in spaces where larger impact wrenches can’t fit without needing to disassemble components to reach bolts. Tri-LEDs surround the anvil to deliver brighter light with fewer shadows. 4-Mode DRIVE CONTROL™ offers greater precision with a range of pre-set RPM and IPM levels, selectable from a single button on the tool. By selecting Mode 4, AUTO SHUT-OFF™ control applies no more than 35 ft-lbs of torque for hand-tight fastening applications to prevent overtightening. Mode 4 also features Bolt Removal Control that delivers you full torque output, then decreases RPMs once the bolt is loosened to prevent fastener drops. REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence ensures maximum performance, protecting the tool against overloads, over-heating, and over-discharge. The included two M18™ REDLITHIUM™ 5.0 batteries fit all M18™ tools, delivering more work per charge and more work over the life of the pack.

*Awesome impact **MyBest.Tools** Takes tires off in a second. Plenty of power for what I’ve used it for - rotating tires. Using it on 3rd setting for removal and 2nd setting for tightening lugs.*

[@BlakesGarage]

Did you guys enjoy the junkyard footage? If so maybe I'll do more scavenging videos.

[@aldayrflores4054]

Cool way to test out the impacts I think.

[@skyway88]

Love it, I'm living vicariously through you right now since my yard is closed here! I don't even have an E30 yet but I've got my shopping list for 24V swap parts and your vids have been a huge help! Let me know if you ever need some Euro stuff, there's tons of E36s here.

Amazing video man. I love these pick and pull videos 👍🏼

[@israelins1]

This is a fabulous video and explanation! A real Milwaukee owner!

[@BlakesGarage]

Thanks glad you enjoyed

[@reggieh6038]

I would say skip the compact m18 altogether as the stubby imo is nicer for tight spaces due to the fact you can use the smaller m12 batteries. The m18 compact uses the m18 batters which makes the tool kinda chunky and if you are going to go that route may as well go to the m18 mid torque as the size is almost damn near the same to the compact but with more torque. My line up would be the m18 high torque, m18 mid torque and m12 stubby.

[@marcuswheatley1863]

Great video Thank you

[@joshuawalters7377]

I love mine. Took apart the whole front end (fenders, hood, bumper, uca, lca, sways, etc) and pulled the engine/trans and drive shaft with the use of the m12 stubby (3/8) and m18 mid torque (1/2) on a olds 442 that had been sitting for years. Super curious how the new dewalt extreme will compare with the Milwaukee stuff. Can’t go wrong with Milwaukee.

[@sir_frag1868]

Straight savage on that beamer hood. Loved it.

[@BlakesGarage]

Thanks

[@bernardmatias5507]

Good video, my go to is my 3/8 stubby. I use it for everything. I have the first gen mid torque and it only comes out when I need more power. Worst case I pull out the high torque if it’s needed.

[@Joethetoolguy]

What a nice shop bro! Agreed right tool for the right job. Don't watch me hammer away with the ratchet though...

[@Trevorsacrey1980]

Great video man! Used milwaukee impacts for years now, just got the 3/8 mid torque, adapting the 3/8 did compromise its performance thought, straight socket the removal times would definitely drop.

Deciding between stubby and high torque versus just mid torque concerned about junkyard Rusty axle nuts and suspension is mid powerful enough unless of course I'm doing some Honda crankshaft not planning it though. Ty

Great video with some real world usage! Looking to grab one of these Gen 2 impacts but undecided on going 3/8 or 1/2. Since using both, what are you finding more versatile if you had to pick just one?

I'd decided based on the size sockets you use? They are both the same size.

Hi Blake, I enjoyed your tool reviews. I could use the battery charger since I’m planning on getting into m18s from m12s. Thanks.

I use the 1/4 impact driver (2853) to remove lug nuts on my Sequoia so I know it will work under the hood on the smaller stuff. I am waiting to see what Fathers day sale HD will have on the 1/2 Mid torque wrench. There were no deals on Memorial day. Either way, I will be purchasing it.

That's what I'm talking about. You took the tool to the junkyard for some real world auto use testing on bolts that's been in the elements for who knows how long. These tools are perfect for the junk yard hunt. "...some broken windows because they are dicks..." My sentiments exactly. Damaging good usable stuff for no reason.

[@lallen968]

Hey, just wondering for the stubby, why do you step down to 3/8 with adaptor? any reason?

[@BlakesGarage]

Yeah, cause it’s half inch and use a lot of three eights on it. I should buy a three eights version of it.

[@anbusquad7421]

Never own any tool but trying to get some so should do 1/8 or 1/2 ones

[@BlakesGarage]

I’d do 3/8 I tend to use that way more than 1/2

[@Methodical2]

You didn't take those clean brake rotors?

[@dragger168]

Is there a big difference between the gen 1 and gen 2? Is it worth upgrading from gen 1 to gen 2? I recently got the gen 1 and I’d hate to shell out the cash if The difference is minimal

Basically size and LEDs.

If you don’t have an air compressor how do something simple like air up your tire on your truck?

Edit: loved the video really good testing of the equipment and I like the junk yard stuff

[@BlakesGarage]

I use the Milwaukee Milwaukee M12 portable inflator Thing works amazing it even stops at a certain psi you want to set. It’s my absolute favorite little pump for the race track. Thanks I’ll definitely have to do some more junkyard reviews I think it’s super fun.

I want an "all around" impact, i have a high torque already, but dont know if i should get a stubby or a mid torque, the mid torque can do the same as the stubby and go higher, stubby is just lighter and smaller, any input?

[@BlakesGarage]

Stubby is my go to for everything then if I need more torque I step it up.

[@malukojoexvi9957]

@@BlakesGarage so if you need to run to the junkyard, and could only take one impact, it would be the stubby? Thanks for the reply!

@@malukojoexvi9957 Depends on the Task. I'd probably take the mid torque as it would get most anything off. But honestly I take 3 LOL

These Adapters work fine But these tool break them like insane we got hex but we bought later 1/2"

[@BlakesGarage]

If you're talking about a 1/4 inch hex to 3/8 or 1/2 yeah that's an impact drive not an impact wrench. Impact wrenches like these put out way more torque than impact drivers so I'm glad you got the right tool for the job now 👍👍👍👍

The new 2960 3/8" and 2962 1/2" design is identical. The ONLY difference is the 1/2" anvil. Check out the Torque Test Channel, it'll blow your mind. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6K4dKWtmtJlgsU I ended up sending my 1/2" Mil and 1/2" Sock back 2 days after I bought them after seeing the above video. I just received the 3/8" and am happier than a clam. Oh, why did I do this? Because the test results show the 3/8" wrench is get this, a full 1" shorter than the 1/2" due to socket size and get this, the 3/8 exceeds the Ball Busting 600 ft lb torque. Nobody knows why!!!

@@Methodical2 2960 3/8" and 2962 1/2" are the most recent release designs. Since they're the same design differing in only anvil size, and the 3/8" give you over an 1" compact size due to socket sizes, I went with 3/8". So I sent the 2962 1/2" Anvil one back and the 1/2" socket set.
