    AHA! With a bit a sleuthing through these vids I figured out what I think a lot of us wanna know.. an impact that can tighten to 300 ft lbs torque will loosen a 500 ft lb lug nut. I know TTC said Nut busting numbers cant be compared, but wait a minute. isn't the entire reason for this channels existence cuz tightening torque can't be compared? So TTC created an ARBITRARY base line from which we all derive valuable RELATIVE info. I dont see why the same can't be done re loosening torque. Even if only 1 episode tightening then loosening a nut to see what % of tightening torque is needed to loosen at varies torques to see the curves. In any case this is one of the best channel on you tube and has already saved me form wasting a ton of money.

    I'd be really interested in seeing how the smaller 3/8 drive 2960-20 Gen 2 Mid-torque does compared to the 1/2 and the other wrenches. The 2960 would have the added benefit of getting into smaller spaces, but how much torque would be sacrificed on larger nuts when using a quality adapter?

Neighbors don’t like them at 2am. Cordless is the only way anymore. More power, quieter, more portable, wayyy less maintaince and lighter. I’m surprised air tools are still being sold.

    I love your channel, and how you've set it up to actually be a demonstration of comparable results instead of just yapping about how comfortable the new grip is, or other trivial crap
    Is there a way you could rig up a test for undoing seized bolts/nuts? I'm, no engineer, but I was thinking about having some kind of piston push a clutch-like disk against the flange of a nut to simulate seized-on friction, and be able to dial the piston back if the gun doesn't crack it. I'm not sure if there'd be a way to put that in Nm or ft/lbs, but it could still give you a value (pressure applied) that the gun could overcome so you could compare them directly.

And I thought it was a gimmick but I know I got more power out of my m18 ½" hammer drill. When used with the old style 5.0 battery, it would cut out when I pushed it in 2nd gear and when I put the 6.0 on it, I nearly ended up with a broken wrist not expecting it to keep pushing

      That's how it currently is. Think of it as a %. The Gen 2 made 451 ft-lbs, which is 82% of their claimed 550. It made more power than the Gen 1, but it also claims 100ft-lbs higher so it worked out to be less points (%). The Gen 3 compact M18 we tested made 250 and advertised 250, that would be 100 points.

      @@TorqueTestChannel sounds good. How would the points be scored if the tool surpassed the “advertised” torque? In the example u mentioned above say 250ft lbs but let’s say u tested it (in this scenario) to have 275ft lbs. Points?

      @@todd5082 It would still be a %. So in that case it would be making 110% of the advertised claim, and thus get 110 points. Frankly, there's room in these rankings for an impact to make sort "meh" power but put some super conservative numbers on the box and get a top spot. Like let's say one makes 350 ft-lbs but claims 250. That's 140 pointsand a category where others are making 70-85. A 60 point gain on the others is enough alone to shoot up the ranking quick. Luckily (i suppose) absolutely no one is super conservative with their torque claims - if they were we wouldn't need to run this channel!.

    If you can you should test Milwaukee's stubby M12 1/2" impact.

    I got fed 9 commercials while watching this 8 min power tool video. Same exact commercial, over and over, which was a freaking Kotex commercial.
    Really…REALLY! TH-cam’s algorithm thinks best place to sell Kotex is on power tool content…?

    This is tool porn! Love this channel. I have both the gen 1 and gen 2 mid torque impacts. The lights near the anvil are so much better. It surrounds the work piece. Love Milwaukee tools. Also have the rigid octane tools as well. Milwaukee has more power but rigid has cool features on octane batteries. Not sure why rigid canceled the octane line? Maybe it was cutting into Milwaukee’s sales? Hopefully, it will show up in Milwaukee’s line since they’re both owned by TTI!

    I used th-cam.com/users/postUgkx4ynqaujg7rZKFapA8s29kTpRszJGa3-K this for the first time today to replace the front wheel bearing on my rwd 98 dodge dakota. This had absolutely no issue removing or reinstalling the lug nuts and it took off the axle nut without any struggle. Sounds like it's got some muscle to it. Time will tell

    "Upgrading" this has little to do with performance. Who is able to tell the few extra torque numbers; very few, I will say. Go get yourself the new one on Ebay out of a kit, for a fraction of the tag price and sell the old one for whatever you can get... Throw-in a battery which you won't need down the way because the new batteries are something anyone should have, regardless of upgrading (high output) and you might even enjoy the new tool without spending a buck. Goodby!

    Please, please stop showing the tool next to the old IR, then its competitor next to the old IR, **but not them next to each other!!!*
    It drives my visual system crazy... 🙄

      We often borrow or trade impacts, if we had a standard of showing the subject tools next to each other only, we'd have no size reference when we borrow someone's $900 Snap-On then give it back but later want to show that one's size.
