The BEST Impact Wrenches: COMPARISON TEST

Craig is funny as hell. I been following him for years now. Keep it up Craig!!

[@sasstewart1222]

seriously, him and cooley and my fav's

Within the first 1:30 I was already laughing at the “industry standard testing”. Lol. I love project farm and now you are my go to also.

[@BlindMansRevenge2002]

The Ingersoll rand he showcased was the W 7152. I own the original first generation W 7150 no need to upgrade

[@leonvanderlinde5580]

I bought the Bosch. I like it since it uses the same battery as my cordless drill. Maybe not killing a bolt or nut, but it does work.

[@jamesbubnick]

I have the DeWalt 12v and love it. I have the entire series and for the homeowner it's perfect. It's not too heavy; I have 5 AH batteries(free from a Lowes promotion) is compact and doesn't take up a huge amount of room.

[@Oneklickmedia]

Been looking for one but I don’t use it heavily. More for removing car lug nuts, basic maintenance work. Any issue with 12v?

[@jamesbubnick]

@@Oneklickmedia I was working on a lawnmower and I couldn't get the 3/8 to get the blade off but the 1/2 had the power. I want to say the 1/2" has 450 ft-lbs of breakaway torque so plenty for any lug nut that was torqued down unless you've got a 911 GT3 or they were put on with an impact and hammered on.

[@johnquinn4680]

That milwaukee is a mid torque model. Milwaukee makes a full size 1/2" impact that's freaking insane

[@valentinek.t3327]

Link?

[@CraigularjJoeWoodworks]

The actual torque differs greatly from the box. Milwaukee is absolutely the best, but that in mind it's still about 100 ft lb short on fastening torque. The channel that tests this sort of torque is called "torque test channel"

[@Thebassguru84]

Milwaukee is not the best

[@CarlosRodriguez-hb3vq]

That DeWalt 20v TP gag is no joke. I have one and the direction switch is mis positioned too close to the trigger finger making it all to easy to accidentally hit reverse. Also, the battery sometimes rattles itself off. Still, it gets the job done.

[@dilldowschwagginz2674]

I've been running DeWalt drivers for 20 years. The Milwaukee is absolutely better in most ways but DeWalt is durable, reliable and strong enough to get the job done. It's also good for guys like me who have a million DeWalt batteries laying around. I also like Ridgid impacts

[@ArnieAlmaraz]

[@weebus5579]

The big DeWalt one shouldn't be compared to the others seeing as its a high torque impact wrench

[@Eyewant2know]

How did you measure the actual torque delivered?

[@briankleinschmidt3664]

I was shopping for an air impact at Home Depot, and wasn't satisfied with the selection so I got the 1/2" Dewalt cordless. Holy Schmoly. I did good. I paid too much, though. I should have gone with Ryobi from the start. It's almost as good and cost much less.

[@KycenPetersen]

I was trying to find a battery impact to keep in my car, hopefully I could get one of these.

[@haydenhiatt678]

love how you used Milwaukee's 1/2 inch mid torque and compared it to DeWalt's 1/2 inch high torque, why didn't you compare the Milwaukee high torque to DeWalt's high torque.

[@homelee665]

You missed the high torque Milwaukee and the Milwaukee M12 stubby (I think you got it and the M18 Compact confused there).

[@russellleahy]

I'm still waiting to see the best ones

[@user-sc6lp1om9y]

Hey roadshow, project farm already did this.

Lol I'm looking at all the brands of impact wrenches on the table. I would only buy one of those. The China one. Because the other brands make you sponsor a KZbinr unwittingly for buying a new tool. That's why Milwaukee is $500. You buy two tools, but one is secretly given away to a random KZbinr

[@johnquinn4680]

Milwaukee makes the strongest electric impact in existence

[@yogi05lc]

I just got my makita xwt17z why no makita in here

[@Darkstar72SR]

Are you kidding me? They chose Dewalt as the 1/2 inch runner up? And why? It’s a pound heavier. Try hitting the gym, Urkel! They want more lights? Or better light placement? I bet if they shoved it up their Hershey highway there’d be plenty of light to spotlight Mr. Peanut. When you’re working in a shop you need all the torque you can get, so what if the light is poorly placed (subject to opinion) and it’s a little heavier (for you 98ibs. weaklings) ITS GOT TWICE THE BREAKAWAY TORQUE! And 3 speed settings for every application. In case you can’t tell I own one AND have used the Milwaukee and there’s no comparison. Except the price. I purchased my Dewalt at a few dollars below $200. If you want Milwaukee’s new heavy hitter (not the one reviewed but it’s badass bro) sporting 1400 ft lbs. of breakaway torque (200 more than Dewalt’s) you’re looking at around $400 big ones. So, $200 more for 200 more torques. While more torque is handy (the reason why I can’t believe Milwaukee edged out Dewalt) is it really worth it? BTW, noticed they’re using a 4 amp/hr battery instead of a 5 or 6. Much better results with a more powerful battery (obviously, and don’t get me started on the flexvolt 20v/60v 9amp batteries. They’re killer…)

[@dirtkatt]

Never mentioned the Earthquake...

[@AATreeService]

DeWalt is double the Milwaukee??? Not sure that’s true. Milwaukee is 1400/1600. DeWalt is 1200 Also wanted to mention that Milwaukee is an m18 not m12!

so how do you set these wrenches to a specific number when tightening lug nuts? like my vehicle requires nuts to be tightened at 140 lb ft or 190 NM, so how do i set the wrench to this setting to avoid under or over tightening?

[@scottg1911]

You don’t. You either torque with a torque wrench or you get a feel for what is tight with the gun but you’ll not know if you’ve tightened to 100 or 300 ftlbs without checking with a torque wrench

Milwaukee is a good tool but over rated… durofix is very underrated (not on the list) and it’s half the size with 369ftlbs Tightening torque and 590ftlbs of “nut busting” and it’s on Amazon for $180 with the battery and charger and 2 year warranty . idk about any of you but I don’t have anything on my car, truck or motorcycle or even at work (construction) that even comes close to either of those TQ numbers. So If you aren’t an actual Diesel mechanic or work with heavy steel buildings or steel framing I don’t see the need for a Dewalt or Milwaukee. I rather just get a durofix it’s not as well known but it’s a lot cheaper and if you need to replace it, it’s half the price. Just my opinion and felt like everyone should know about that durofix tool line .

This is a terrrrrrible video. If you dont know anything about these things, DO NOT WATCH… you are better off knowing nothing than this nonsense… Comparing low torques to mid torques and high torques… and even a 12v??? is almost like comparing 4 different tools, which is better?…. Its like the just grabbed a small and VERY random selection. …and your favorite dewalt 3/8 one is their oldest and lowest end model… and brushed?! …and geez, that Mikita might be the worse one on the list and its your fav? When you start, you started with the Milwaukee mid-torque model… then the dewalt high-torque and say “this one is sooo much heavier” well, duh, it has to be to be in the high-torque class… why didnt you compare the Milwaukee mid-torque the the dewalt mid-torque? None of this makes any sense…. Sorry, but not sorry. Lol. Should have just did a comparison of all the mid torque’s if this is for DIYers as stated. And dude, the place where you put the battery on the tool is not a “charger” lmafo And. Not a “chuck”, but an “anvil” .. and the Bosch Freak has a design flaw. If you want to get full power out of it you need to sick a broken off 1/4” bit before putting the socket on. Torque Test Channel did a whole experiment with it… “smooth” would not be a word I would use to describe it.
