Tire guy here, the gun you’re using will take wheels off, BUT you need to remove that 1/2 to 3/4 adapter and get a 33mmx1/2drive socket. Or just get yourself a 3/4” at the very least. I use my 3/4 on a daily basis and has removed a couple hundred tires at this point. Right tools for the right job!
@coleshattuck34203 ай бұрын
The tool is fine. With a 33mm half inch drive socket and that impact it rips rusty lugs off at the heavy diesel shop I work at. If you still wanna keep it buy the right socket and lose the adapter to give it a proper chance
@ArielMorales-nu5cq3 ай бұрын
Your using a adapter which is taking away torque I bet if you found a 1/2 socket that size it would take them off!

most likely needs to be broken in, at least that's what i had to do with my old 2767 with 9.0 battery and then i was able to take off semi truck lugs all day with extensions

No wonder it gets crazy hot hammering on something for 3 hours. Its rated for 1600 ft-lbs and takes off nuts torqued to 2400 ft-lbs. There is no way it wouldnt take off those lugs. Probably why you didnt show it working in the video. Mine took off the axel nut off of an older vw that had lock tight on it from the factory with only 2 quick pulls of the trigger usually you need to heat it up 1st so either you have a lemon, you didnt have it on mode 3 or you are just bs ing
@osvacaniz75712 ай бұрын
Is not garbage. You just have to know what to use for each job. It’s like using a 3/8 gun for a job that requires 1/2 gun. In this case you’re using a 1/2 gun for a job that requieres a 3/4 gun. Adapters decreases the torque just like extensions does. A 3/4 drive socket requires a 3/4 drive gun, simple.

The adapter is the problem you need the socket on the anvil
@prospectorsoils124021 күн бұрын
I wonder if those studs have L stamped in them? Honestly that impact has plenty of power to remove those lugs with an adapter.
@costavong60183 ай бұрын
According to generic adapter testing and review, the torque will be reduced by a minimum of 30% while using the adapter. It is expected that you cannot unlock the nuts; spend more for a 1/2-inch socket. In addition, it is better to use 2868-20, as this tools is mainly for industrial solutions, your gun is only up for commercial van or pickup truck.

First, Where did you get it? Is it a knockoff or legit Milwaukee? There's so many fakes out there. Second, why would you get a mid-size impact wrench for truck lugs?!? That's why they make high torque wrenches and bigger 3/4" and 1" impacts. This is the completely wrong tool for the job. Not surprised it can't take those off. You're like that dude at the boat ramp trying to tow a 6,000 pound powerboat with a Honda Civic and getting angry it doesn't work. The 2869-20 is what you want for regular truck lug service.

Watch the torque test channel video on the 2967. This is the 1/2” high torque, and it’s actually got more power than the 3/4”.

@afellowinnewengland61423 ай бұрын
The 2967 impact is rated for 1600 ft lbs breakaway. However, that's the rating when using a Forge battery not a standard high output or knockoff, so now you're down to 1500. You're also using an adapter instead of a proper 1/2" socket so you are even less effective. More importantly, truck lugs torqued to 400-500 ft lbs can require a 1800-2000+ ft lb tool to break free after corrosion sets in. This Milwaukee is among the most powerful 1/2" you can buy, but it's a 1/2" impact and you need something stronger for regular use...Anyway, put the proper socket on it, spray some Liquid Wrench on the lugs and soak for 30 minutes, set it to max level and they may break free. However, you should be using a Milwaukee 2869-20 like most truck techs.
