2555-20 M12 Stubby vs. 2962-20 M18 Mid Torque - Milwaukee Showdown 🔩

[@laa0fa502]

Extremely interesting test. Would have never thought of doing it that way for a 12 v 18 comparison

[@SpicyRoll-m4r]

Best combination of impacts..

[@sacred324]

gonna need an update comparison vs the new stubby

[@combustiontherapy2222]

I couldn't agree more

[@nguyent2477]

M12 2555-20 👍

[@BigGreenGlizzy]

From my testing it really only doesn’t get lug nuts that are also studs

[@combustiontherapy2222]

You're absolutely correct, it will do them but generally with some back and forth action. Lug bolts as we call them like to rust some on the exposed threads that have passed through the hub causing them to be a little more stubborn come removal time but my mid torque has hardly let me down even in this area

[@victorrodriguez7931]

Is they some play where the battery feels lose? It that normal?

[@combustiontherapy2222]

Completely normal for there to be a small amount of slop at least in my experience

[@eazy6474]

They add the play so that the battery can move separate from the tool, helps keep the battery’s from experiencing too much vibration and extends the life.

[@BenjaminKerr-yj4gs]

Yeah it was pretty easy cuz the impacting mechanism in reverse is more powerful than in forward.

You’d hope so anyway

Oh my God an impact removed a lug nut

Well I just returned mine , struggled to remove the lugs from my honda

What the hell were they torqued to?

@@crunkwun I expect dedicated impact wrench to remove car lugs faster than my 1/4 in screw impact guns but not even close , try it

[@crunkwun]

@@bryang9158 I have the M12 FUEL Stubby model M12FIWF12-0 339Nm torque, I'm a mobile mechanic and have used this on more vehicles lug nuts than I can count and it never disappoints. All vehicles were torqued to spec. They all came off effortlessly. I do have the 6ah high output battery on it tho

[@mosthated8190]

I’ve been able to get most jobs done with my Milwaukee m12 stubby 1/2”. In case that doesn’t work my high torque m18 does the job but that’s not too often. Those two should be in everybody’s tool chest.

[@ThunderWindz]

Indeed. I also have a high torque and a stubby and i use the stubby like 95% of my tasks, but those 5% the high torque is a must have back up.

[@user-dr8rw1nz4h]

Looks to me the nuts is torqued by 50nm

[@menswearhous]

what sockets are those?

[@combustiontherapy2222]

These ones are Canadian Tire units

[@volt6008]

I would rather see it take off regular trucks lug nuts like the tundra , f150 …that was done by strong air guns

[@combustiontherapy2222]

90% of the time it will remove any truck lug nuts with ease, mind you this is living in the rust belt where things often seize and are likely over torqued. For the size this gun is a beast, Milwaukee has however recently released the Gen 3 2967 High Torque in the same design with a slightly larger form factor if you have doubts.

[@tylerwitmer3769]

Both are 3/8 right?

[@blue_ratchet]

no 1/2

[@BuhdFrankDaTank93]

No point of the comparison. Mode 2 on mid torque will only put down about 150 ftlb , why even compare.

[@hajjman99]

Which is Still way over torqued for that car...
