We are under no obligation to review their products as part of that relationship, and this video went live before they saw it or gave us any feedback on it. I have had the stubby impact wrenches since August and the mid-torque since July, did not receive monetary compensation, opinions are my own, and everything is scripted myself. We only review tools that are high quality on this channel, and these impact wrenches impressed me. We are primarily an automotive channel demonstrating unique car builds and gas to diesel engine conversions, and think it makes sense to review automotive tools I actually use, as this is a common enough topic I get asked about. We welcome brands that want to help us continue what we love to do and show you how to do it. While we don't know what the future looks like, our goal with this KZbin venture is to make our time on this platform profitable, and build unique vehicles with the revenue... So building good relationships with quality brands makes sense to us. We believe we can be one of the best automotive channels out there, we believe we can do that successfully while maintaining creative control, and we believe it should be free to watch.

[@charliebardo6255]

Thanks for your great channel bud . I look forward to your new videos. I'm glad that you haven't sold to the big conglomerate. There's so many that have and next thing you know it's not free anymore.

DEBOSS GARAGE so what would be the difference between getting a stubby vs using their regular impact driver and adding an adapter? (For context, I work in home remodeling so I own primarily construction/carpentry tool, but often service my car and the vehicles of friends/others, so mechanic work is a hobby.) Therefore since I have extensions/adaptors to use sockets with them, wondering what the difference would be on the lower torqued models vs the regular impact driver. I know the bigger guns are trade/application specific, but what about the smaller?

[@kwmiked]

I'll take that mid tq 3/8, I need that next, maybe the 1/4 also. But already have the others u showed

I hate to admit this, but I have a 1/2 inch M18 fuel impact and its terrible. It cannot get anything undone without help of a breaker bar. And I'm talking wheel nuts on small VW's. I used to have a clarke plug in impact and I kid you not. Back to back it did better. The best tool I have ever bought from milwaukee is the m12 ratchet. It actually speeds up work so much. I love milwaukee tools but for an impact you have to o slightly more on the industrial scale for it to be used on old cars

[@noahgullion2]

WIZARDMANJM it is the high torque? And what battery are you using on it?

[@bartprice3439]

Mechanics that do not use torque wrenches but instead use an impact to get everything "supertight" are lazy a-hole hacks. Snapping heads off while removing them because someone impacted them on is #!×&%ed. Like valve covers. 8 ft pounds. Put on with a Milwaukee 3/8" 200 ft lbs Stubby. That's what the 1/4" is really good for- easy installation of clean nuts & bolts, then torquing to spec. I'm betting that the big rig lug nuts were spun on too tight with a 1" air gun. They should have broke loose with that impact.

I have several of these impacts myself (M12 3/8 Stubby, M12 3/8 Regular, M18 3/8, M18 1/2 High torque). My rec. for most people is just the 3/8 M12 stubby. It's the same power as the older M18 3/8 but in a smaller package. The M18 1/2 you see a lot of youtubers use is really only needed for bolts that are > passenger cars. Don't bother with 1/4 stuff.

I used to be a mechanic, just at home now. For home auto use I think the mid torque 3/8 is king of the heap. I have the 1/2 high torque too and for a non professional auto repair environment it’s way more than necessary. The mid is a great impact in every respect and replaced my old 1/2 air gun. Just my .02. Love your vids DEBOSS! Keep them coming

[@youaregoingtolovethis]

I wholeheartedly agree. It will do 99.999 of the job out there and it’s very compact size for the amount of power and weight ratio. Plus the price is also very good making it the best bang for the buck of all the Milwaukee impacts out there. If you can only own one impact it’s the one to get for sure. Plus it is safer than the big heavy high torque ones. The big heavy ones are harder to control and can snap nuts and bolts off. Also can twist or injure your wrists if not careful or have weak wrists.

This is the best Milwaukee ad ever. My first Milwaukee tool was a 6365 circ saw, bought in 1976. I paid $76, and thought I was making an investment. I still have it, and it is still a great tool. So is my 4 amp Sawzall. I should probably put the Sawzall on the wall, but I do use it sometimes just to see the sparks fly - literally. Globalization has made it hard to follow the pea under the shell, but Milwaukee today seems to be a solid company that makes durable tools. I just don't get why mechanics need to use electric tools all the time. I get the utility of power tools for jobs like tire removal, but 90% of the time, a speed handle will get it done just as well as an electric tool, with a much lower risk of breaking the bolt. I think dudes just like power tools. That's cool, I understand.

[@toranaandy2245]

Sam Cooke I’ve only recently started on Milwaukee tools after wasting money on some cheaper ones. So far they are awesome and make my job heaps easier and quicker. As for speed brace vs 3/8 stubby, the stubby fits in more places and is great for bolts with a small amount of locktite, like seat bolts. On some jobs I can almost half the time taken compared to hand tools👍

[@barrylinkiewich9688]

Power tools aren't important for one job, or two jobs. 8 hours a day though? Those saved seconds add up real fast, especially since you aren't sapping your hand and wrist stamina spinning and cranking wrenches manually. Power tools let you work just as hard at 4pm as at 8am.

You might be an idiot for trying to use a power tool while "completely soaked with muddy salt water". The odds of damaging it are high, take it apart and clean it out and dry it first. That is NOT covered under warranty, lol.

[@dropout75]

I use the mid range torque 3/8 on equipment all day, only break out the 1/2 when I need too but I haven't used my 3/8 or 1/2 air gun since I've bought them, they both are great. To be fair to that 3/4 gun, I've never gotten trouser pad bolts out with a 3/4 air gun, I always have to use a 1 inch gun or torch the head off. Pretty impressive that it took a bolt out of that final drive though.

[@pauldietrich6790]

I have found that using 6 pt .impact sockets whenever possible AND real impact extensions ( the larger diameter ones, beefy ones ) gets the torque and impact right where you need it...to the bolt or nut. if you grab the joint there the extensions join / socket on the end you'll feel it gets hot. That's energy wasted....although some will be anyway, bit to a lesser extent. More often than not, I've found that this will simply bust those right loose and BAM....it's out. Great demmo...i like it.... thinking about the 1/2 inch M-18 high torque setup...as a supplement to all my M-12 stuff... TY...

this is my new favorite video on youtube lol

You need the 80pc 3/8 SUNEX Master impact set which includes wobbles... Great video, I own the 3/8 stub

[@JrSpitty]

I bought the 1/2 stubby. The anvil has more mass and can translate torque better as well have has a snugger fit on sockets. Plus if you need to use anything smaller then a 1/2 you can downsize with adapters and use regular chrome sockets since there wont be enough torque to run much of a risk of shattering or damaging sockets.

3/8" m12 stubby is my favorite. Versatile enough to reach bolts with 3/8" sockets with ease, but powerful enough that with a good 3/8"-1/2" adapter I haven't found a bolt it can't take off

Yup just bought all fuel m18 bout to go get some m12 stubbys to add to the collection

I have 2 M12 tools. The M12 grease gun is a must for Ag equipment. Before I go out and bale hay I like to hit it with some grease and it has a ton of grease points. The grease gun makes it an easy job. I also have the M12 band saw. I use it for cutting unistrut, conduit, water pipes, and a bunch of other stuff. Both are fantastic tools and when I start building my tool box I will get the Milwaukee 18V tools. We have a couple Ryobi One cordless impacts and they are also great.

I have the same impacts and ratchets and those things are bad ass and a hell of a lot cheaper than what's on the snap on truck. I love cordless tools they are great and the best part is no stupid ass air lines so you can shove them in anywhere and don't have to worry about a hose.

I use the 1/4 hex stubby at work. Works great up to 10mm-13mm. Around 13mm it seems to be hit or miss and begins to struggle around that size and up. It is definitely better than the Bosch which I had before it.

This is oddly satisfying to watch him take out bolts.

[@mikefedele4521]

They do look impressive. I just noticed the cost. I guess for what they are they are well worth the money. It would be nice to be hose free. Cool video playing in the wrecking yard is always fun.

I'm curious as to how many "flukes" you experienced 😂😂 nice vid 👍🏻
