BOLTR: Millwaukee 1/2" Nut Smacker
ฝัง

- We take a close look at the Milwaukee 1/2" impact wrench to see it's build quality. I'll try to fix it, but It's worn out after 300 hours of heavy industrial use. We'll see why at the end of the vid. The mechanism itself is very robust, but it has a couple weak points that made this gun crap out. My DeWalt has about the same amount of time on it. It doesn't hit as hard as the Milwaukee lithium ion, but it's ten years older.

Man if I had a dollar for everytime I've heard you say "glass fiber reinforced" I'd have my own Bridgeport.
😂😂😂😂
PA6 30%......check that 50%. you can hear the fibers. ( scrape scrape )
You’d best wait a few weeks and get a less “wobbly” milling machine with “a quarter inch better tolerances”
I realized one my Air Chucks is a Bridgeport :P
Not even clapped out lol
"Batteries don't take well to being hacksawed." There's some excellent life advice.
Eh at least he learned that from experience, he could have done it once and still be doing it today. Some people have trouble learning after too much pixie dust and too much confuzer.
well no shit Sherlock, your supposed to use a sawsall. duh.
@@mrromantimothy not really. It doesn’t just spontaneously combust. More than likely he’d be fine unless he actually sawed through them leaving behind lithium saw dust. But even then it’s not like a certain thing that will definitely happen.
"put that over there so we can lose it"....story of my life lol
"1/2" Nut Smacker" was my nickname in Highschool
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I guess you were on your knees pretty often😜😜
"She's completely dead, yeah."
"Still, any excuse to have a peek under the skirt."
"To see what makes her chooch"
"Hopefully we'll find out what killed her"
And that, your honor, was how I became a necrophiliac.
Maybe put in a new army and the chooch will smell better.
They should teach this language at schools,love the vids. Very educational
Don't forget, "she got it where it counts!"
Fucking hilarious
my intermittent tool problems are usually alcohol related
Now that's how you comment!, take note reddit. I haven't fucking laughed like this in awhile, I needed that.
👏👏👏👏👏👏😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍😀
fv nordby lmao.
You should prob get some help
OMFG I laughed four an hour after reading this comment
“She ain’t pretty, but she got it where it counts”
-AvE
That's actually a quote from Han Solo
That reminded me of my ex girlfriend 😂😂 😂😂 😂😂 😂😂 😂
Listen to just the audio of AvE's content and I can almost guarantee that you won't know that he's talking about tools lol
He's like a comedic scientist.
In all seriousness tho
I had a 3/4 inch drive crap out at work. Took her out of the scrap bin and replaced the brush assembly and she works great again! Thanks for the inspiration AvE!!
My papa taught me how to hand pack bearings too. Still got the car I learned on. ahh memories.
Might go repack the bearings this weekend just for nostalgias sake.
6:14 still going to be flow/turbulence that needs to be vented..... Clearly ..
Having an interest in tools and have my hands on them often your channel is very enjoyable. Due to your hilarious sence of humor, and Canadian disposition; It is an extra added bonus!! you got added to one of my favorites bud!! Thank you for the show!! And keep em comming!
I love the gearing view to get a full idea of how the gearing is working! Keep up the informational bits and we'll keep on learning.
I work in a heavy equipment shop and we have a road guy that uses his everyday, has had it for a couple years and it still beats a brand new snap on
You mean Scam On/Strap On
Man - you're really damn knowledgeable of manufacturing process and materials! I find that amazing.
I would like to drink some beer with this guy, he cracks me up. Great content, especially for people that have to know how things actually work.
Things I will be "borrowing" from this episode to make my uncle laugh;
"You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel."
"Yu-long Ding-Dong Brand"
"Jazz hands routine on the gargler"
Thanks again
You forgot, "I do most of my thinking in my head." That got me.
IanCaine4728 Personally, I do most of my thinking in conversation, but most of my stinking happens in my head.
New to BoLTR. Spat out my beer at "picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel". Are you related to Ryan Gosling or John Wayne, pilgrim??
Well if you bought it a year ago then you should be getting a new one.
@@dtnel if it was bought new a year ago, it would still have another 4 years warranty!
I've got an exam in 8 hours and I don't think a question on rattle guns will come up but I better watch this video just in case you know better to cover all bases
Mad Chewy interrupted my medic studies as well. gotta figure how humans chooch somehow.
How did that exam go

"I do most of my thinking in my head" - AvE Great vid! That line had me in stitches!
Me too...classic.
Thank you! Finally i have video proof of the fonzy, the fact that it actually works. As they say: "Experience is knowing what you can beat with a hammer and what you can not"
I've used my 3/8 and 1/2 in a professional setting for over 3 years no problems. Still on the original batteries even. One of the best investments I've made.
22:54 to 23:20... the definition of this amazing channel.. Thanks AvE
I will forever call impacts nut smackers till the day I die now 😂😂
I call mine the "Ex Wife" because it's still busting my nuts
Best video you've made in months! thanks was very informative .
i appreciate the vijeos that you do as they actually help me in my line of work
Whenever I need a hammer to "repair" something, I call it "impact calibration".
Gentle Persuasion
Corrective hammer blow
I have to say that most of the parts that you refer to as metal injection molded are really compression molded. It is a much simpler and cheaper and much more common way of making powdered metal parts. They are made in a press with a die, upper and lower punches and pins for the through holes. A feed shoe slides over the cavity, the lower punch is lowered in the die and the powder is gravity fed into the die (usually with shaking or vibration to help it flow better), the shoe retracts the punches close in the die, then the upper punch rises and the lower punch raises to the top of the die and the part is pushed off by the feed shoe. Rinse and repeat. No plastic binder, much less shrinkage and no need to force the powder itself under pressure. I worked in a powdered metal factory for 8 years and machined tooling for the last 2 years there.
omg I love your phases I don't know how I keep getting sucked back in
This guy is beyond awesome.. Love the statement of lose on the hips!! Great video man!
The yellowish epoxy on the windings/commutator you are pointing at^2 5:20 isn't for balancing the armature, it's called "gel banding". Used when there is very high speed or radial flex in the armature shaft that can fatigue the fusing of the windings to the commutator tangs and a broken wire. You can see a few seconds later some brownish putty stuck on the opposite end windings that is for balancing.
521 milwaukee employees didnt like this vijail. Great video with honesty and facts
Sir you Crack me up, I love the the little thing you say when working on your projects....
Entertaining as hell!!! And I think I actually learned a few things!!! Keep up the great content...
As someone who repairs electric tools... The way to check them; Is it making sound? no = Check battery, then brushes then wires & trigger/circuit boards, . All the other components are mechanical so if it isnt making sound (or smoke) in 99% of cases its those three things. And never trust customers when they say they've checked things... I had one customer that came in with a flashlight and said it was broke and he tried everything... He didnt change batteries...
In the case of this video though, I would look closely on the brush holder/brushes, seems like that is the likely culprit. Usually when you bang on it and it works its a loose/bad wire or the brushes.
At least AvE is honest "I tried nothing and am all out of ideas".
I use that frequently and always get a chuckle out of people.
spoofer20 I had a question if you don't mind answering, it would be appreciated: I bought a new brushless Milwaukee Mid Torque 1/2" impact wrench used it for lug nuts with an 80 ft. lb. torque stick, noticed a burnt motor smell (you know that smell) coming out of the rear tool air vent. There is no smoking just that smell, is this normal break-in or should the tool be returned?
cardo It’s not quite normal. But is in warranty so use it until it dies or the smell will disappear, you got nothing to lose
@@horiachiorean8592 Nothing to lose ? That's some crazy logic you're using there. It'll give up the ghost when he's using it and he''ll be right in the ****. Faulty electrics don't fix themselves. Get it replaced while you're not depending on it, then you'll have a warranty AND a healthy tool you're not waiting to die on you just when you need it.
AvE, Thank you for the still picture with the MS Paint highlights of the gear thingyjiggers, it is of great assastance for simple welder folk like my self.
You are hilarious to listen to. Best 27 minutes I've spent all week.
I'm sat at home recovering from a hernia op and nearly split my stitches....Brilliant
I got the newer version of the dewalt half inch impact and I love it when it's time to work on the car. The 6ah battery gives it maximum oomph, compared to my 4ah and 2ah.it's definitely a difference in the big tool on the different batteries. Ordered a 9ah to use mostly on it. Recently acquired the Dcd991 and 791 so I need more batteries anyway. But ready to throw my dcd780 in the trash because the gear selector keeps splitting into two pieces. Going to try jb plastic weld on it first. I put it on all the corners of my batteries since they've cracked around the screw holes. It works beautifully. It can't be removed unless I grind it off there I never seen anything stick to plastic like that.
How many times has a guy said, " I ain't going in there again" and the next day ya see him buying more rubbers?
LMAO Always wrong brain again.
you gotta be an actor rather than a mechanic. your voice is really nice and clear. thanks for the video! it's really helpful.
I really liked this video. Congratulations on getting her to work again. especially with the finisheing touches being a good couple of whacks with the hammer. makin her chooch.
I also like the Microsoft paint circles and descriptions for the mis framing and more detailed explaining. I would like to see that in more of your videos. 13:44
I love how "the idiot check" in the beginning is so true.
*You just squeeze it in there until it comes out the back side*
ohh my....
Nice seeing someone using the DeWalt battery conversion. My old 18V batteries are all but gone.
Good job.
Wonderful to watch - very interesting.
Loved how it worked when you bashed it with a hammer !
you always make me laugh thank you I appreciate that
Was Smoking a Brisket on my stick burner and I was checking the fuel/temp... Out loud I said "I wonder if shes still a Chooch'n".. Made me laugh... Thank you for the new vocabulary.
Dude, you got your own dictionary. That is the greatest accomplishment of all time!
love your colorful descriptions
“You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel”
I died 😂
23:07 i spit my drink out
And again at 23:19?
great video. those little drawings were really useful, hope you keep adding those.
I like that you do most of your thinking in your head!
I almost bought a set of DeWalt cordless tools today but I wanted to look at the Milwaukee options after remembering your battery testing. I think it was on sale for $250 for a cordless drill and impact driver set, both with brushless motors, and supposedly made in the USA.
...with internationally sourced materials.
I've been using one of these for years, only ever used it for changing the tires. Still working like a champ. Keep in mind this is a 1-2 times per year task.
Lol. I guess it's still brand new
Your linguistic genius alone is enough reason to sub!
It didn't take many videos to realize this guy knows his shit. Thanks for the vids I'm addicted. Thanks for taking the time to review tools without Schilling for the corporation. Plus I just like seeing the insides of stuff...Not like dahmer inside stuff but tools insides.
Grandma got run over by a ring gear...
Kevin Cuzner lmao!

AvE-It very well could have cobalt magnets instead of neo's.Neo's have a tendency to loose strength when exposed to heat a lot more than most other mags.
Your vocabulary makes me cry tears of joy
I've got the Earthquake series for a few years now. I love it! One of the better buys from HF IMO.
"Nice big deep ball groove..." bow chicka bow wow

I may have been drinking.
"In hammer we trust!" That's something to remember! :) I usually call this kind of hammer-on-electronics-repair "whack of pray".
Cant touch it
funny man ! technology and stand up comedy in a single package ! Thank you
My dad was an ironworker we have a 3/4" one I never needed. It is nice to know it is there when you do. It is a plug in one much like an old 1/2 inch one I also have. I do have a half inch pneumatic and dragging out air hoses is the only bad thing about it. Whether or not mine is a good one I do not know but it is not a Harbor Freight tool and for what little I use it for it should last forever with a drop or two of oil before use. The more I watch your channel AvE, the more my suspicions of the lack of quality control are confirmed when it comes to those super cheap Harbor Freight tools. I don't have any problem with their tools but I don't expect a precision tool or one that will last a long time if I ever dare to buy one from that place. Although I am not always using my tools I at least like the piece of mind that I might expect with a known brand of tools (not Black and Decker).
Exactly what kind of Chevron Schmuh is this? I want to see if can get that stuff here in Germany.
Clean the commutator and Shim the brushes with some thick solid round copper wire between brush rigging and brushes....shade tree fix....Get Er Dun!
Just subscribed. Makes me feel smart just watching you...
Oh my fixing something until it's fixed! What a new concept!
How does the hammer go "up and over" the anvil? is there a ramp of some sorts which I am missing?
ThomasHaberkorn I was wondering the same.
ThomasHaberkorn it hits the side of the anvil, that jolt sends the hammer exactly upward enough to clear that part of the metal, then it turns 180° and does it again on the other part of the anvil. Since it has two sections to do this, both hit simultaneously and it gives a balanced force. There are vids on YT that show this force in action.
I love it when you finger the tools deep with those dirty fingers.
AvE 😂😂😂
oh yeah, tear that down for our viewing *pleasure*
Greeeeasy.
I think this is my favorite show on youtube or a close 2nd
Holy crap I like the way you joke and swear this is the most funny video yet I ever watched
21:30 was the moment when I was screaming " CLEAN IT !", I bet you releasing a can of brake cleaner on the brushes will fix it.
Any tool on the market, if it's abused, will show this end result.🤯 I take care of my tools. I can guarantee warranties of Milwaukee will cover this, Milwaukee Simply the Best.💞🇺🇸
@@santinocapone1080 yeah that's one thing the air hoses I'm glad you like them I really love the Milwaukee really good quality I agree thank you for comment
*🇨🇳🇺🇲 Milwaukee is owned and made in china by TTI, that being said they are great chinese tools with a 5 year warranty

The fact that that tool lived so long with no fan is incredible, honestly
First time viewer here, man you crack me up!!!!! LOL. I think i would die of laughter hanging around you in a pub. We gotta hit the town! 🍺
"You picked a fine time to leave me Loose Wheel" LMAO
Picked up a Will-fauck-yee oscilating cutter from the trash bin at work, just a couple of months old.
The wire from the switch to the PCB was broken right at the solderjoint, probably from metal-fatigue.
Put a new wire in and I now have a semi-crappy free tool :) even had a battery in it, and I also found a second battery.. but no charger :(
Hm.... well, a generic hobby Li-Pol charger would work, but maybe Ebay could locate a replacement.
I found a guy on the norwegian version of cragslist that has a charger, extra battery and a usb-charger-thing for sale at about 50 bucks, might be an option. But i have an rc-charger, so I might do that :)
Aleksander Øyen
As most of the battery packs have internal balancing circuits, it's definitely worth a shot. Even completely unbalanced, a couple charge cycles won't hurt anything. It will definitely charge it just fine, as long as it supports a pack with as many cells as the drill uses.
The chargers and extra battery for $50 isn't a bad deal either, considering that's probably just under the retail price of some batteries alone (depends on model).
Good luck. :D
I already had a peek inside one of the batteries M12 3ah, it is a 3S2P pack with 1500mah 18650cells.
Temp-sensor and balancing is broken out on three small pins :)
Also found out that this model is a couple of years old, probably just been taken good care of or seen little use.. :)
Aleksander Øyen
Well, that's even better news. :D
This is my favorite review ever. You're hilarious!
I enjoy listening to smart people. It educates us more
So 100% glass fiber reinforced plastic would be a block of glass?
Block of glass fiber
SuperAlvin Fiberglass wad
Yup big old pile of eye magnets
@@mrromantimothy
You could reinforce the big glass fiber with plastic
did you ever clean off the commutator, no 1 problem with old RC car motors
What model is this? I'm about to purchase their madness cordless M18 Fuel 1/2 one, that is capable of up to insane 1100 ft-lbs of breaking torque and up to 700 ft-lbs of fastening torque. 300 hours for me would mean around 7-10 years of usage, though.
This guy has me rolling every other sentence.From what I understand from the bits and bobs I try to piece together. I still don't know what skookum is but the lord knows I'm trying.
I keep hearing a clicking in the background. you running some sorta Geiger counter back there what for stopping the govments from spying on ya?
Off topic fluke tip, hold the yellow button down whilst turning the rotary switch from the off position and the meter will not auto shut off. Handy if you are measuring something from behind interlocks when you cannot easily access the meter. I know it's probably in the manual but who reads them.
THAKS for telling!
really good job with putting red arrows showing exactly what your talking about i enjoyed it.
Enjoy your videos. Keep em coming
I just found this channel, it rocks and it's gonna help me pass some Covid time. So looking back on this video your work bench was pretty clean. Was your apprentice looking for a raise?

How'd you get the impact-er so clean at 15:48? Let her soak in the parts washer? Also seems like I need to add Ulti-Plex Grease EP to my list of flavours.
I don't wanna know, I like the movie magic of him just coming back with it clean.
I heard him say "Abrasive media" which makes me think he shot blasted it, I wouldn't soak it in a parts washer tbh
Basically it's the polishing stones that are cone shaped. They roll around and polish metal parts
Hey fellow railfan😀
loved the percussive maintenance, fixes all
great video as always AVE! I was think of you when I got electrocuted yesterday sticking my fingers in the 1950s boost pack I got given that 'worked', well I got on he'll of a belt and it blew the main breaker for the house, it's been a while but we all need short Sharpe shock every now and then to remind us not to put our fingers inside dodgy old stuff
"Lightly Greased" - that was my nickname back in high school.
"Squeeze it in there until it comes out the backside" - that was my special move back in my collegiate days.
AvE and James May colab!
Uber Goober we have the disassembler and reassembler. Perfect!
I would watch the living shit out of this!
Fucking yes
With May being so meticulous and AvE being so AvE, I'm sure it would be an interesting production.
Uber Goober Fucking Brill. but I think.AvE has turned down TV offers before, would make great TV, especially hearing AvE telling the BBC to go Fuck their hats.
I'm impressed you knew that some guns are stronger in reverse that forward. Most folks wouldn't know that. I just rebuilt a CP734H and made a two part video on my chanel. I had the front plate faced seemed to do the trick. work well now.
I have absolutely no idea what this bloke is saying most of the time and I absolutely love it
18:38 aww you hear the big man go a little soft here while he's packing grease. having a moment?
The commutator was heavily oxidized. Use some alcohol or barkeeper's friend to clean it up and it should work like new.
DeWALT lover found broken milwaukee in the garbage and decide to make a review thanks I been working with Milwaukee for over 3 years 5 days a week so I can tell you they are killing it right now the best in the market so far 👍👍👍
are you sure?
Yes I’m mechanic at a Toyota dealer,they are the best right now I tried makita, Dewalt,snap on, anything but milwaukee like I said right now they are the best in my opinion and experienced
thank you!
