New Metabo HPT 36V 1/2" Mid-Torque Impact Wrench Beats The Milwaukee 2962-20

[@TorqueTestChannel]

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

[@MATTLEism]

Fancy seeing you here 🤣😂

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

I agree @Torque Test Channel

[@cardo1111]

I'm a Milwaukee fanboy though it has less power, I do prefer its smaller size for a mid torque. That Metabo water bucket test was impressive. Appreciate your honesty regarding a warm/hot bolt being easier to remove, many KZbin reviewers don't disclose this fact 👍🏽

[@loucifer323]

I can't stand Milwaukee because they're a China owned tool company, but I agree I rather have the smaller tool if the power is close

[@stans5270]

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.

[@loucifer323]

That's what I like when you do real world testing because always watch KZbin to help on my car and sometimes the car they are working on isn't rusted like my bolt is and won't budge and you have to hit it heat and oil

Man Brian you worked hard on that bolt. Great review as always. I love my Milwaukee mid torque.

[@jascospeed]

Well it's bigger and rated for higher torque, I would hope it's stronger... With that said I always prefer the best balance between small size factor and power. That's why I run the stubby as much as possible and if I need more break out the M18 mid torque.

[@Abombsucksalot]

What youre seeing in the video IS the Milwaukee m18 mid torque, is it not?

[@tracktrend9722]

[@GregBrecker]

That you can stick this in a bucket and rev it up. Is absolutely insane!

[@treebossmike8818]

Hey Brian I just looked up this impact on Amazon. It’s only showing the kit for $399 and out of stock. However, the funny part is all of the product images are of you and we’re taken from this video. You should check it out if you don’t already know thought was interesting.

[@PhillyFixed]

I think they probably have a marketing agreement set up with him to use photos/video stills.

[@WorkshopAddict]

It is not a marketing agreement. But just like you guys, Metabo HPT and other companies like it to. They send tools our way and we give them suggestions as to what we would do to improve it. In this case, they sent me this tool when they had a final sample and said take some pics for us. We did and used it for some time. The rest of these are floating on a ship somewhere waiting to make shore.

[@charlesking678]

Great review

[@johnjones-bv5df]

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.

[@jeffscomp]

That’s probably what happened

[@WorkshopAddict]

I was not going to let that bolt win!

[@Ryan-ki3pw]

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

[@baseballdude8491]

my Milwaukee 3rd gen and triple hammer have been used i same conditions--heavy rain has effected the Milwaukke but the triple hammer keeps o truckin

[@baseballdude8491]

I've had a few of my 2nd and 3rd gen Fuel's have issues with water more than my triple hammers

[@slylockfox85]

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.

[@b3stanman946]

I’m new to Milwaukee and highly impressed with the stubby and max torque, getting the mid torque after seeing it in action for a smaller but powerful work horse💯

[@baseballdude8491]

Stubby is good for M12 but I prefer my Metabo HPT mid over my Milwaukee for feel and bringing the beans for longer applications

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Nice Sunex 3/4 Torque Wrench

[@albatros1752]

should be marketed for boat people !!!

[@89dhvac]

It beats Milwaukee in total torque, not in the first part of the curve. The Milwaukee hitting harder at the beginning could be helpful in breaking things loose quicker. Also this thing is huge. Just out of curiosity, has anyone used the metabo warranty?

[@PhillyFixed]

I have had 2 tools repaired. Didn't need to provide proof of purchase and had the tool back in about a week including shipping both ways (which they paid for). First tool, I ripped the plastic button cover off of a triple hammer impact driver, didn't want to compromise the IP56 rating. Second tool was a 23-ga pin nailer where it was jamming, couldn't figure out why. Works fine now.

You’re going to have to clarify between Metabo and Metabo HPT on that question.

The Milwaukee 3/8 seems to make more power then the 1/2 Milwaukee on Torque Test Channel Video that was also interesting Brian @WorkShopAddict

[@LahSouljacutzup]

Milwaukee is the goat. American made, can't go wrong

[@steveh8724]

Umm, so not true. Milwaukee is not even American owned. While they have some assembly facilities in the US, most of the hand power tools (m12, m18, and FUEL variants) are made in China. Just like almost all the other popular brands. Exceptions are Festool and maybe some others. Perhaps that explains the $ difference???

[@PhillyFixed]

Great collaboration! What happened to the pickup -- get rear ended, or back up into a tree?!

About 95% had 2 4.0's get replaced but after 3 yrs of roto hammering, table sawing, grinding we all good for most of them I've had about same failure rate with Milwaukee and much worse with DeWalt Makita doesn't have the larger amp hour batteries so the 5.0's and 4.0's go bad due to more recharging cycles needed to get the job done

[@jncn1490]

Great channel, always solid reviews. Not a fan of TTC. He uses one size bolt and adapters sometimes, wrong size batteries half the time. Stops the test while torque is still climbing and then makes claims and belittles the companies claims because he didn’t test like they did. Your test are real world and actually better. Plus the feel of the tool , the platform your into and price are all factors.
