Milwaukee M18 Gen 4 1/4” Impact Driver 2953 First Look | Does It Rip?

[@qusaiqarqaz5941]

The speed at which gen 4 is driving those fasteners is just ridiculous 😂

[@Undeadmilkshake]

Had to pause the video after watching the gen 4 bury the heads on those lags, ordered it right then and there. Great comparison video!

[@spedracer55]

im impressed with that m12

[@jenardbolt123]

Drill- Packedge in typical box, came with a tool bag (added bonus), two batteries, one charger, drill, and driver. Two words "plenty of Torque" kzbin.infoUgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv well I guess that's three. Nice upgrade from current setup. Has belt clips, I don't think I will be using those. Driver and drill were bigger than what I expected but it is an upgrade from the current setup. For the money I would say that this is a great setup for Professionals and DIY/Weekend warriors.

[@matthewullrich2112]

Great video, just got my gen 4 and it is awesome

[@chiquisbaby81]

I just got my Gen 4 Impact (tool only/loving it) giving my Gen 3 to my mom for work around the house. She’s become a little handy woman ever since she retired. Haha! I kept my Gen 3 Hammer Drill tho’ due to not seeing much of a difference with the 4. All I could say is that the Gen 4 Impact is a beast. Those 3 LED lights alone are just beautiful 😍😎🦾

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

Great video man hoping to get gen 4 set for Christmas

[@JoseJB0]

It's pretty much the gen 3 with better trigger, collet & lights. I'm waiting for Home Depot to get in stock locally to buy even if I already have 3 gen 3's + previous gens 😂. I'm buying the 12v later today, I checked last night & it says in stock locally 👍

[@apmadeithappen2]

Just got my gen 4 drill and impact and came with two 5.0ah and an 8.0ah battery. Kind of excited for Monday lol

[@bobhope5976]

The gen 3 collet was fixed with the gen 3 1/2, which was released a few years ago. It added the 2nd ball bearing inside. They haven't sold the single ball bearing collet gen 3 for years. You should probably add a note making this distinction. I bought a gen 3 impact driver 4 months ago and it has 2 ball bearings and never drops bits.

[@_MrBread]

A friend of my dad gave me a hand me down milwaukee brushed impact driver the 2656-20. As I watched this video I took a peek inside my collet, lo and behold it has 2 ball bearings, my guess is they upgraded all production collets of their future impact drivers for easier manufacturing

[@InaMopar]

That gen 4 is crazy gonna have to get one soon

[@mick59murphy1]

Got mine yesterday. Used it today on new decking. I didn't know about the settings and thought something was wrong. Then put it on setting 4 and wow, the screw flew in lol. Some machine.

Can you test again going through the face of the boards? Going with the grain seems too easy

gen 4 on sale at home depot for 4th of July 2 batteries and a charger for 200 bucks

[@Sim-633]

The Surge is slower but it gives you more control and less noise. Precision work, i would go with Surge. If you just want to send it, newer Gen3 M12 3453-20 1/4 Hex impact driver or Gen4 M18 2953-20 1/4 Hex impact driver.

[@ViscousLandan]

I agree with you. The Surge is something I’ll use for cabinetry work, hardware, or putting together furniture (unless I need the smaller m12 footprint size). If I’m putting in subfloors, gen4. … now I’m asking myself why I haven’t picked up the m12 surge already…

[@bobhope5976]

@@ViscousLandan because it's trash. that's why.

[@J.Wick.]

M12 Surge is my favorite by far. Different strokes and all I guess. My work necessitates quiet precision & smoothness.

[@georgedavall9449]

Now this guy/gal Sim knows what they talking bout! Right on

[@jef467]

I have a surge and i do satellite installations and noticed the surge just isn’t strong enough for the dish sometimes thinking about getting this new one not sure

[@dlee8237]

Just got the g4 hammer and impact 💪🎅🎄❤️

[@chrisarmijo8371]

So I’m in need of a hex drill, has anyone had any problems with the gen 4? I don’t want any problems with it in the future. Should I get a gen 3 or gen 4?

[@eeemuse]

if the difference in price is just £30 more for the gen4 bare tool, is worth it?

[@ytb3748]

5:24 There's a mile difference between a youtuber and a pro!

[@npfitnesstx]

I wish you would’ve shown the batteries. What are you using on the Gen 4?

[@thadoggma]

The runout/wobble of either the shaft or the collet (not sure) on these G4 impacts is ridiculous. I can't even drive a screw with mine above half speed without the bit popping out of the screw head. I've tried 4 different brands of new bits, and exchanged the impact twice now, and both replacements do the same thing. Getting kind of tired of it, for the price I paid of the tool, this shouldn't be a problem!

[@rattatoolie7253]

Oh shit, for real ?? You tried using the Milwaukee bits ? That’s really neither here, nor there, it should never happen honestly. These tools are EXPENSIVE. I’d be fuckin livid. Damn, all of those exchanges & still having the same problem ?

[@rattatoolie7253]

My tool collection is Milwaukee. I’m considering the 4th gen, or the newest Makita set. Idk. I like Makita because it’s super light weight with almost the same amount of power. I’d go Makita over Dewalt Sunday any day for reliability & power.

[@chickenwings5429]

Your collet is wobbly? My first Gen4 wasn’t but I dropped it with a 6 inche bit extender and it got super wobbly. So I returned it and then I go a new one and it’s collet is wobbly as well. My surge isn’t wobbly. It screws in screw straight as an arrow.

[@benitobuitron6276]

Why is the surge m18 fuel more expensive than this new impact , if this impact has more power and torque from what it looks like.

[@bobbo7116]

Surge is hydraulic powered system. Probably paying for the specialized parts needed in that drill. I am assuming thats the reason why

[@jef467]

Can anyone confirm if the surge is a different drill? I bought the surge impact a few years back and it’s been amazing and all but slightly lacking in power, co worker got a new dewalt XR and it’s awesome. Thinking about getting this new impact woo it be better than my current surge??

[@ferniem95]

Is there a kit for this?

[@zedacruja681]

In Kilos PLEASE what is that Once? Never heard.

[@eddydionico7672]

Gen 4 Fuel is KING.... sorry surge fanboys.......

[@orlinn3]

There's no need to be sorry.. Surge is fantastic for cabinet work, hardware install like Grab bars, and putting furniture together. I'd rather have the Surge for those types of jobs. But yeah, the Gen 4 is insane!

[@mn4a15]

How did you get it so early

[@ViscousLandan]

I was surprised it was available when it was, I jumped on an in-stock notification from Acme Tools a few days ago

I was thinking of switching from my Makitas to the gen 4 but that’s too much power for me

framing nailer and the 16 gauge nailer is def different colors

[@krisaunedi4920]

Buddy you have this vlog rigged. I have a Gen 3 impact driver myself and it goes in with no problems like the fourth gen you have there. Buddy you have to learn how to hold the driver straight. Watch other reviews and no issues with gen three.

[@colerogers95]

That was the gen 3 surge. It has lower specs than the traditional fuel gen 3. But it’s quieter and has less vibration.

[@yungdro1972]

Seems like the M12 was faster than the Surge. Not even close to the gen 4.

[@landonmorel3715]

why would anyone spend the money on the surge?

[@georgedavall9449]

WTf @0:16, with all that silly clicking and crap and what the heck about the colors??? This is one whack review. This dude has a trigger fetish! NO matter how many times you click that trigger, its still gonna suck. Milwaukee needs to seriously change that crap design! It’s a viewpoint shared by many. I LOVE my M18 Surge, but every time I pick it up, that trigger, and handle design, not great. Check out DeWalt, makita, and early Milwaukee. They all have/had a trigger that flares out at the bottom, not rounded over like on current M18 tools. It creates pressure on the inside joint of the finger, especially if used for long duration, or in heavier duty use. CHANGE IT Milwaukee!!! Nice review Viscious lambs Peace
