Keeping mine, it saved my bacon today on a KW T-2000. Removing bolts out of the frame rail, looks like it had been years since anyone touched these bolts holding a bracket on. My little Milwaukee 3/8" Stubby would not budge these 24mm bolts. So, I unboxed this little 1/2" beast. Sure enough, it was just small enough to get into the space and removed those bolts like a hot knife rolling through a slab of butter. It's a keeper!
I don't believe any of the cordless tools live up to their claims of lb/ft of torque. Although, using a deep socket and a 6" extension does drastically reduce the torque output of the tool.
@@topchoiceauto9626 I'm not saying the tools aren't good tools, I'm merely pointing out they don't live up to the numbers they claim. I don't believe the pneumatic tools do either. The torque test channel is a perfect example of what I'm stating. th-cam.com/video/pFQ-SSu1-PI/w-d-xo.html
The Milwaukee tool lives up to the rating. He is using a 6" extension which lessens the power. Check out some other videos on this impact wrench and you will see the difference.
I have a Milwaukee mid torque i bought in 2018. Works good. Only on one truck. I couldn’t get the lugs off. It was a truck the tire shop used an impact on. I got it off with a breaker bar and 4 ft pipe. And that breaker bar was forcing. Crazy tight. I also used mine for front end work.
That's ridiculous. I have to watch them every time I take a car somewhere if the tire is coming off. I have had similar circumstances. I had one 3 or 4 years ago where I had a 30" breaker bar on it and I had to jump (with my 215 pounds) on the bar to break the nuts loose. Mine works good too. Has always done the job for me. Good hearing from you Danny. If you are not already subscribed I would really appreciate it if you would help me out by hitting that subscribe button. Really appreciate it sir.
Thanks Bill. In the daylight they didn't seem like much but in a little darker light I bet they are a tremendous help. Thank you so much for commenting. I have been doing a lot of Milwaukee unboxings lately. I do appreciate you watching sir.
I’ve seen this tool remove a nut torqued to 650 foot pounds. The battery makes a huge difference in power. Milwaukee tools always work better with the cp batteries because they use 21700 cells as opposed to the 18650 cells in the xc batteries.
I recently started learning about this myself. I just got the gen 4 hammer drill kit that comes with the impact driver. A few days later, the band impact wrench was in the daily specials with a battery and charger for $199. To me, the 5 amp xc battery is heavy because I don’t have big hands or wrists. Someone pointed out that they have the two pack of cp 3 amp batteries on sale for $99, and those have 21700 cells. I’m going to return the “fee” tool that I got with the gen 4 kit because it wasn’t really free, if you know what I mean. I’m going to use the refund to buy the cp batteries.
@@DiligentDave1966 Sounds like a great plan Dave. I am all about the tools and getting the best deal I can. Good hearing from you again sir. I hope you have subscribed. I would love to see more comment from you on the videos. Love the input.
@@DadsGarageDIY Someone just told me that the cp 3.0 provides about the same power as the xc 5.0. Apparently Milwaukee tools do the best with high output 6.0 batteries. However, I feel that the power to weight ratio still makes the cp 3.0 a great choice, since it’s a bit lighter than the xc.
I also wanted to add that stacked lithium batteries have been proven to make a big difference in power. It has been shown in Dewalt and Flex tools. Rumor has it that Milwaukee is going to come out with stacked lithium batteries in the near future.
Very true. I was trying to not hit the wheel. I know that was an error in my test. Love the name by the way. Right there with ya. Probably how you found me...all the gun content. LOL
@@NRASUPPORTER1911 I love me some Milwaukee! Been working on changing over all my tools to Milwaukee in the last 3 years or so. Wish I would have done it sooner.
Thanks so much Robert. I really appreciate that sir. I have done quite a bit of Milwaukee content lately. Hopefully, you will find some of the others helpful too. I really appreciate the kind words Robert. If you are not already a subscriber I would really appreciate if you would consider subscribing. Thank you so much.
You don't want to use an extension on it. Next you are at a tire shop, you never seen someone use an extension. You were too quick on those lower setting to break it loose, try longer. You have the same expectations as a pneumatic tool, it wont be as quick... pneumatic tools are way more powerful.
Talking about tire shops, they were impressed with my 1/2" M18 high torque as I used it to remove nuts when we changed to winter tires on my old rig. They told me they lug around air tools in their service truck and wished they could get a battery gun. So I would be careful to point to the tire shops as an authority. Alot of them use old tech out of whatever the reason.
Hi Tim, your video is very helpful. But I am still considering between 2962-20 and a smaller 2855-20. I would like to purchase one for replacing tires of my 7-seat car. Does 2855-20 have enough torque ? Thanks
It is rated at 250 ft/lbs. It should handle most cars as long as you have a good charge on the battery. If it doesn’t work for you you can return it. Let me know how it works and thanks for the kind words.
To keep it further away from the car. I know it reduces the torque. But, the lugs were at 125 and a 650 gun shouldn’t have an issue. If I were trying to get something tighter I get it. Thanks Wendell.
Hi Tim- I liked the testing with each level and nice to see them in action. Auto set at 4 would be good and easy for me! Excellent info- I do buy and take my tires to rotate, balance and follow up since it is all free for the life of the ownership of the tires when I buy them from Costco. Hope all is well.. 👍
@@DadsGarageDIY it is going OK- we were suppose to close 11/10 but now will close towards the end of November. I bought fall decor thinking I would be there before thanksgiving but due to gas stove top, built in oven, and dishwasher are on backorder and can’t get permit to close. They r also shirt on light fixtures, backsplash and microwave but those aren’t preventing for close but others that are required for obtaining permit is putting my interest rate I locked in in jeopardy! If I don’t close by 11/25, I will have to re lock and the rates are higher now! I had anxiety heifer but now even more! I had to overcome so much with all the crap builder put me thru and this is compounding it! Ugh.. keeping my fingers crossed!! Thanks for checking on me- can’t wait for the holidays!!
@@dianedo8314 It will come together. So sorry it has been so stressful. May people I know that have built have similar stories. Unfortunately seems like more that have this story than having the smooth process. But, it will work out.

Look at workshop addict and shop tool reviews they and the torque tool channels videos it lives up to the numbers

You don’t have to believe. Milwaukee usually makes their numbers. Get that torque-robbing extension off and I bet setting 1 breaks them loose.

I have this same tool and it is an absolute beast. It takes out Honda lug nuts without any struggle instantly 🤷♂️.
Very nice! Thanks for the comment. Look forward to the next.
The lights are actually extremely bright we were working at dusk they helped out so much

It works way better without the extension.

bought mine for xmas for my self ! lol

Very interesting!
During multiple torque test on the 1/2 and 3/8 models, the 3/8 had more breaking power than the 1/2.
Interesting. Thanks for the info ripd97. Much appreciated.
Definitely better tight. I’m talking about lug nuts of course.
That big extension hurts the torque a lot

Where did you buy the impact wrench?
I believe I picked this up at Northern Tool and used a coupon.
extensions basically reduces torque.
Yes. Totally agree.
The high output battery seems to give my gun a big jump
@@lrodecw Very interesting. That’s great information!

Can you use it to screws in 2/4” wood?
I suppose you could with the right adapters. But, really overkill. I would recommend the brushless impact driver.

I even got the notification!
Shocking!
Do it without an extension… an extension on a impact will decrease the torque
Yes, sir. Very good observation. I appreciate it!
Use shallow socket no extension to get full.power
True.
Thanks Matt.
Am i right in saying mode 4 has nore loosening torque than mode 3
Awesome! Thanks for the info Kas.

Take that extention tak take power of the impact

Извини. Не уверен, что говорит ваш комментарий. Прогнал его через Google Translate, и там было что-то о более длинном удлинителе.

extension reduce the torque
True
My other comment was hidden. 🙄
Not sure that should get a thumbs up. Lol
Too bad that sale must be over for the free Milwaukee battery!! Lol
Yeah. That was a heck of a bargain. It was going just before Christmas. Ugh!
