Thanks for the opportunity Brian! Spot on about bolts, real life use, testing and everything. The most we can each do is offer a small sliver of the pie to bring people info before making a purchase, which you're doing here! Whatever the case, the Milwaukee remains the standard to compare to in the category for a reason, it just performs. It's still my #1 most used cordless impact, and we have a few options around here haha

Thanks. I agree with the stretching of the bolt theory. Instead of using those tired longer bolts from the tractor. Why not get a couple hardened 7/8th fine thread bolts and drill a 1/2 inch bar stock. You can use the tractor as a counter to the torque by welding it somewhere on the frame or front-end components. As you know, the shorter the bolt, the less it will stretch. Or even simpler an old tractor-trailer hub and wheel.

Is it possible by using the Metabo on it first you loosened it up for the Milwaukee and made it easier? To really be fair you should have done another test under the exact same circumstances and pounded on it with the Milwaukee first and then used the Metabo. I don’t own either brand; just an observation. I don’t think your test was really fair in that respect.

I'm a Foreman for a heavy civil underground contractor doing big water lines, sewer and Storm drain. After having to change out/discard Makita batteries multiple times and being without the proper tools until I could do so, I went and bought Milwaukee tools to keep on my truck with my own money. My mid torque, sawzall, right angle impact and drill have all been submerged in water, covered in mud, buried in sand and dirt and splattered with concrete but keep on performing like the day I bought them. Milwaukee may not claim an IP rating but don't discount them (not saying you did, just in general) because they are some tough tools. They've kept my crew going under the worst conditions for any tool and I don't regret supplying my guys with them even if it did come out of my own pocket

The Milwaukee is still smaller than the Makita and Metabo mid-torques. I'm sure Milwaukee did their research before the Gen-2 came out and asked people if they would rather have smaller and lighter, but only slightly more power, or the same size and heavier but a lot more power. I'm sure most people responded "smaller and lighter." I have the M12 stubby 3/8 and the Gen-2 M18 Mid torque. But with the weight and size reduction they did on the Gen-2 Mid, you might be able to get away with just the Gen-2 Mid as your main workhorse.
