Ir ti and a flameles torche took 1 minute. But that's after i broke a 1/2 breaker using a 8' cheater, a 1.5 foot extention, and 19mm impact socket actually exploded. Made a nice bang/pop.
***** Haha nice :) My brother had a ZX-14 for quite a while....his license plate said "Bye-busa" or something like that.....a brand new ZX-14 + a power commander + pipes = the fastest thing with a license plate (for a while anyway) ;)
***** I Have a Ducati 1198 S with full exhaust and that's it. I reached 186mph but the speedometer stops reading any higher but the rpms kept climbing so I know it goes faster than that. And now the Ducati 1299 has 205hp on their baseline Panigale. I am going to wait a year or two to see what their special models like a Corse comes out, then I'll pick that up. I can't wait. That much power and it weighs under 400lbs wet. Dry weight is probably 360ish. Talk about a pocket rocket! As far as I am concerned it is the ultimate street superbike.
I bought this IR W7150 cordless thanks to REAL TOOL REVIEW, I work as a diesel mechanic on Buses and the W7150 Has the POWER! , I have used it on removing Radius Rods, Spiders, 30mm caliper bolts etc. what I have Not used it on, are on the lug nuts on the bus just for the fact that we "at the shop" have a 1" impact gun which we over torque the tires , when the real torque should be 550 ft lbs so besides that I love this gun every old timer at the shop couldn't believe the power of this gun just because its quiet and cordless , it also holds it charge and chargers lightening fast. no dealing with air hoses , unfiltered dirty shop air and lubricating . and since its cordless I take it home and use it on my car suspension excellent piece of equipment
Alan Platero Thanks Alan! I am glad I could help :) I agree....the W7150 is a great tool. I have had zero issues with it & neither has anyone that I have let use it over the last year. Still going strong!
For anybody watching this in 2023! The Ingersoll rand W 7150 has been replaced! You still may be able to find this from distributors but, it will not be worth the investment. In 2018 Ingersoll, rand released the second generation high torque impact in the W 71,52. This model comes equipped with a 360° LED ring light, adjustable forward settings, brushless motor, and has a redesigned housing and grip. It is accompanied by its bigger brother the Ingersoll ran W 7172, which is the 3/4 inch version. You can get these with extended anvils as well. in addition, these kits no longer come with the blow mold case because it has been replaced by the TB5 tool bag. Finally, the charger has been updated to charge both the 20 V and 12 V batteries.
I was thinking of buying one. Thanks for your demonstration. I'm definitely going to get one now. I've read reviews on a lot cheaper ones and they put out just a fraction of the torque and don't last very long. Thanks for letting us know that the gun won't fit in the case right with the protective boot on. I decided to get the one with two batteries and the protective boot. I'm planning on buying it from Amazon. It's about half the list price there,46% off. The one with the extra battery is only around $65 more. A new battery alone is around $128.
This is Gary again. I got the W 7150-K2. I haven't got to use it yet but I have a 95 Ranger that I'm selling and have at least one wheel I got to take off to replace a tire. My impact WILL fit in the case with the protective boot on. With the impact seated fully in the bottom of the case there's about a one inch gap at the front. I just have to push down and hold the front right side closed while I snap the latches down. I had to do some trimming on side vent holes on the protective boot. The openings were cut slightly too far forward or back and at a slight angle blocking some of the areas of the vents on the impact. I surely didn't want
Gary T. Gary again. Sorry I accidentally hit send on the last post. As I was saying I didn't want to burn up my new impact. Also the cases that the tools and sockets come in are a little too big. They take up a lot of space. I'm also getting the D5140 1/2" drill too. I like that I can use the same battery on both.
+Gary T. Hello +Gary.T, how do you like the IR so far? curious since I'm in need of an Electric Impact and I've come down to either the IR or the Milwaukee.
Take the bolt off a Honda that hasnt been off before. Those old Hondas you did have had the timing belt replaced at least once in their lifetime. I will buy one and try it on a Honda that hasnt been apart before
your vid's ,still the best, wish u'd show CTA vs, Lisle vs Ingersol Rand, crank bolt socket's,,,,when they won't remove Honda, plus Milwaukee 2767 released next month, n really,want to know, otherwise, hope all well with u. thx,
Hey dcm I need your honest opinion wich gun would you perfer for automotive use between this one and the m 18 fuel I am haveing a hard tine choseing and I need one because my snap on cordless just gave out on me out of warranty
It would depend on the other tools in the battery platform that you would want to expand into later. I would suggest looking at the M18 lineup & the IQv20 lineup to see what else you would want to buy later. The batteries & chargers are a huge expense & if you can buy some "bare tools" later on, you will save a lot of cash. Both are extremely powerful & its about 50/50 when I show auto-techs them both in person, one will like the IR more & the other will like the Milwaukee more.
I would end up buying a 3/8 and 1/4 inch impact and maby a 1/4 air ratchet witch one do you think has a better line up? Sorry about all the question but I want to ask someone with a unbias opinion
Oscar Diaz Well, it sounds like you will be buying tools in the 12 volt lineup & an 18/20 volt lineup. If thats the case, you could go with IR with one set & Milwaukee with the other. It really would boil down to personal preference, but I know both companies make very good tools. I have reviewed the IR 1/4" impact if you want to check out that review....I REALLY like it & the batteries last an extremely long time.
The Gun is great when brand new, after a month it stopped working in reverse. I got it replaced under warranty, now the 2nd one wont work in reverse also. Product is manufactured in China.
I've never broken so many bolts or studs or screwed up so many threads form getting stuff to tight in my life until I got that impact gun..... completely worth it
Lucky dog you have the two best high torque impact on the market to play with I would kill to have one or the other :-P but since you have the two how bout a little competition I'm sure you can come up with a few test ;-)
Lol....well I will definitely agree that the W7150 & 2763 are the top dogs in cordless 1/2" impacts :) If I can come up with a reasonably fair comparison test, I will think about it....but I have yet to find one fastener that one couldnt remove & the other could. They both have an extreme amount of power, and are great tools. As far as runtime goes, it would be unfair in a video...simply because the 2763 has a 4.0 amp hour battery & the W7150 has a 3.0 amp hour.....so due to the lower capacity, it will discharge faster.....but on the other hand, it will charge faster....so who "wins"? Thats the worst part about comparison videos, they are typically steered one way or the other (even if unintentionally).
i was debating between the makita, Milwaukee, snap on, and ingersoll rand and they all have their pros and cons so i was stuck with milwaukee and the IR and i chose this one, this vid helped alot thanks
www.dropbox.com/s/w35ks4b5nqrnku2/20150804_090037.mp4?dl=0 I tried it on 2 Hondas that have never had the crank bolt taken off before with full battery power and it failed, this gun is still bad ass and has a lot of power but the Honda crank bolt wont come off with any 1/2 drive gun unless its been removed before. Ive only seen a 3/4 gun do it. Or the Honda holding tool and a very big breaker bar or a long pipe. Ive been a technician for 30+ years and worked at Honda for 5 of those years. Still a great tool Thanks Howie
Howie Walton I agree......there are some bolts out there than nothing will remove.....on average though --- MOST impacts cannot remove any Honda crank bolts.....the W7150 popped two off in this video with ease.
Real Tool Reviews why they came off easy. The only impact gun that will take a Honda crank bolt off that hasnt been done before in a 3/4 drive impact gun. Still a great tool for the money. I have it and will use it when not at the shop
hola q tal? sabes donde puedo comprar el interruptor de este artefacto ? me lo trajeron de regalo hace un tiempo ya pero se rompio el interruptor y aqui en uruguay no hay representante de esa marca
Weiqin Zhu I think some people are more sensative to smells than others....if you feel that yours is having a specific problem, I would suggest sending it in for a warranty repair. Better safe than sorry!
exo501 Well, although it is 3 years old, they havent come out with a new model....so I doubt that will happen until some new version is released. A big portion of the cost is the batteries and charger....the bare tools are much less expensive.
Hey man, thanks again for your review. I made my purchase and completed my first test and the real reason I bought the thing in the first place. Made a little video of it. Ingersoll Rand W7150 First Use & Test Thanks!!
Cameron Grady Thanks for the follow-up video! I am glad that it worked out for you & that I was able to show you what to expect with it ahead of time :) Nice job on the video btw!
Gold63Beast You should see the new IR 2235tiMAX2....it puts this to shame (power-wise).....it puts out 1,350 ft-lbs of nutbusting reverse torque! The W7150 has 1,100 ft-lbs reverse nutbusting torque :)
Yes...that is the most powerful 1/2" impact there is......and you are correct, it is pneumatic (air) powered. I assume battery power will get there before too long, but for now the 2235 is king.
Thank you so much for your review as an automotive student I wanted to get set with an impact for home use so I'm picking this one up. At school we use ingersoll rand pneumatic and they are really nice. One question I have is where is this tool made?
I disagree with cutting the case. I keep the boot on mine and the case shuts. As long as you push the gun firmly into the tray portion, the top will shut and lock without any distortion to the case or damage to the boot.
I tried that initially, but it was putting way too much pressure on the hinges themselves, and I was afraid that it would end up breaking them, since that would be the weakest link on the case itself. If your case wasnt doing that though, I am glad to hear you got it to work without modifying it. Thanks for the reply!
No problem! I like your channel, keep up the good work. Pretty sure you post on garagejournal under a different name. I've had my gun over a year and haven't had any issues that others have mentioned, i end up using it more than my 2135timax! I also got the milwaukee 2654-22ct over the IR W5131 i believe is their 3/8 and couldnt be happier. I also got the IR 3/8 ratchet, awesome tools.
awesome video! I'm looking to get either this impact or Milwaukee's. from the comparison of the two and rest of ur videos the Milwaukee seems to be slightly better. I don't know still what would be my best pick. I'm leaning towards Milwaukee because I couldn't use the same battery for other tools or buy a impact just the tool itself? I'm not sure if it's in the same line as the rest of their products that can interchange batteries. can I do that with the IR? which one do you think would handle longer constant use? sorry for all the questions, any advice will help! Thanks!
+Arthur Garcia All of the brands can use the same batteries on other tools in those lineups. With the exception of IR....the W7150 will only work with the high capacity packs (3.0ah & 5.0ah).....the compact packs will not power the W7150.
Thanks! ....stay tuned....soon (hopefully within a month) I will be reviewing some new pneumatic tools that I am sure will impress everyone ;) Air isnt dead or dying in my opinion.....I think that having both kinds of impacts (cordless & air) is the way to go.
Gold63Beast Yeah I really like the IR protective boots....not bulky & they do a great job saving the finish. Nice idea about the powercoating....not sure how to do that one though! ;)
Great review. I ended up with the Milwaukee fuel only because I have the Milwaukee 3/8 fuel impact. Cut down on chargers and use the same batteries. But that is a nice gun !
great video, i have had an IR impact for 4 years now and it has been great. Thunder gun model when it first came out i think. I think im going to make the move to a cordless due to our new temp. living situation. if you do other reviews could you throw in some measured torque on a bolt. The tree stuff looks impressive but its hard to gauge exactly how impressive.
+Jeffrey Lurch This video is much older than the the current ways I test impact wrenches. Now we do torque testing on them all to prove actual torque specs......check out the video I made comparing this one to the Milwaukee & Dewalt to see actual numbers.
They are both very good impacts.....the share the top spot as far as power goes. I honestly think it would boil down to personal preference & which tool line has other compatible tools with what you are looking for. The IR has the IQv20 line that is compatible with batteries/chargers.....and Milwaukee has the M18 line. Each company caters to a different crowd, so just check out the other tools & see how you would want to expand later. Both are excellent impacts.
Thanks! And nope, a battery for this costs around $125 I think....so it would not make sense to junk the whole thing later when/if you had battery issues (out of warranty). I do know that IR is keeping the IQv20 battery platform & is not changing it anytime soon....I specifically asked them about that & they said there are no plans to change it. So, finding batteries down the line shouldnt be an issue.
1 bar isn't 25% power it's 25% capacity and with lithium ion they give pretty much the same "power" all the way through there capacity except when they die its pretty instant
Yep thats right, 25% capacity....aka 25% power remaining, sorry if it came across the wrong way. I did mention that the lithium battery provides the same power output from start to finish...thanks for commenting!
dmcguinn1 I wasn't saying it as if you didn't know I just said it because you mentioned it only had 1 bar left and still removed that bolt with ease and like you said same power all through its charge so that wouldn't matter
TheLukey21 Oh, I didnt think that....I figured that the way I worded it was confusing....I appreciate you pointing it out. I mentioned it in the video, because with other videos, so many people ask me "yeah because XYZ tool had a full charge....". Thanks for replying & clearing it up. :)
dmcguinn1 I see, looks like more people need to learn about lithium based battery's then so they get how they work. Thanks for the super quick responses
The W7150 has a brushed motor which is serviceable (replaceable brushes). The brushless technology is relatively new, and as far as I know is not a serviceable motor. This particular impact has been out for over 2 years & I have not read anything online about the power/motor life having issues due to brushes wearing out.
Best review of this IR impact on youtube, no one else comes close to displaying what this impact can truly do. Great job! I happen to own the M18 variant but one can't go wrong with either. Now if I were you, I'd jump in the plane on the background and take a nice cruise in the sky!
Well thanks a lot! Oh, and the plane was at a mechanic friend of mine's farm.....I drove up there 60 miles one way, just to get the extra footage of that Honda Civic crank bolt.....120 mile round trip & 3 hours to get 30 seconds of video!! See all the effort I put into these videos for you guys! ;) haha
dmcguinn1 Wow! Talk about going the extra mile! Well, miles! You really are dedicated to your channel. Actually, I was thinking to myself, wow he happened to have two Hondas laying around lol. Keep up the fantastic reviews!
Cameron Grady It's up in the air about 50/50 with all the mechanics that I have shown them to. Boils down to personal preference & which battery lineup that people want to go with. They are tied with power levels.
dmcguinn1 Understandable... I haven't invested in a battery system yet, so I guess I'm looking at the bigger picture here as well. It wasn't until VERY recently that I've taken these cordless 1/2" impact systems seriously... There are things I like about both systems, but I do feel I am leaning toward the IR. I also like both their 12 & 20v 3/8" drive impact wrenches (from the specs/vids I've seen) Which one (of the two 1/2" options) was your personal favorite in actual use?
Cameron Grady Well I think you are going to be pleasantly surprised with either of them. For me, it depends on what else I am working on & what other tools I am using.....I hate having to carry around multiple types of batteries. The feel/balance isnt as noticeable to me as it is to some, and I think they are both very good/well made impacts.
dmcguinn1 Fair enough. Thanks for the super quick responses. If it's all down to personal choice, I think I'm going to go with the IR system. Please keep putting up these great tool reviews!
If I could find a way to fairly make one, I would try.....the problem is finding materials/fasteners that are consistent (for example.....wood --- you cannot install a lagbolt the same speed because of the wood grain, hidden knots inside, etc).
Good point, why dont you try tightening a nut onto a bolt with each gun, as tight as possible, and then measure wich one has more torque then you could check which one has more nut busting torque and also a runtime challenge, that would be good.
neezar dehni Well I tried that already, with the 2763 I wanted to see how tight it could make the nut on the trailer ball (1" shank & 1 1/2" nut) & it literally made it so tight it fused the threads together & when I removed it with the W7150, the threads all stripped off. Milwaukee told me that the larger the fastener, the tighter it would make it. As far as runtime goes, the 2763 has a 4.0 amp hour battery & the W7150 has a 3.0 amp hour.....so I think the runtime would be longer with the Milwaukee, but the re-charge time would be faster with the Ingersoll Rand. This is pretty much why I haven't done a comparison test, since first of all I cant show which would be more powerful (if either) and second, with the different battery capacities it would not be fair as far as runtime goes. With these two impacts, it really boils down to personal preference I believe. When I show one mechanic them, they will like the IR more.....then the next mechanic likes the Milwaukee more. Both of them are excellent impacts.
Josh Martin The IR wins....hands down. Check out the specs on the Snap-on CT8850 here --- www.dieseltechmag.com/2014/12/get-monster-torque-and-performance
+Real Tool Reviews hehe 😀 i really lile your reviews and you do some neat tools. but sometimes... you drive me crazy with that thick american accent saying the same over and over 😄😄😄
Real Tool Reviews Do you know if the battery can be re-celled by us if needed, once they go bad? I know I can re-celled my Quantum Turbo Battery Pack after learning how to do it from ATG.
Real Tool Reviews That was a fair statement. But you work on equipment & vehicles, right? When was the last time you've stripped the stick shift car? My question is very common that many people would want to know rather than buying a battery for as high as $200.00. If one has this impact, most likely he or she knows basic electricity. And know how to work on equipment. Heck, you & I know not short out a 12v car battery. Nor would I shave my legs in the bathtub with an AC razor. Any site that will show us how to DIY on IR that you know of?
angelisone There is a lot more to soldering batteries in place than "basic electricity". Like I said, some people do it.....I am not one of them. A 12v lead car battery & high-powered lithium cells are not the same by any means, and are very dangerous if you are not extremely experienced & safe when handling them. I would imagine that there are TH-cam videos showing you how to do this, but none I would feel comfortable doing.
Nice demonstration young man, I wish I could invite you over to loose a couple of nuts in my semi-tractor. I bet your fabulous tool would run out of charge before it even warm up a bolt. I own myself one that is rated at 900lf forward and 1100lf reverse. The specs for the wheel lugs on my semi are 480lf and for the main bolts on the frame is about 900lf... Let me tell you, if those lugs could talk they would be giggling at my very "Powerful" gun. It uses only the standard 90psi to operate and it doesn't even come close to loose anything. Im am plain tired and I find ridiculous whenever I see the newest "nut busting", "big torque", "lose everything" impact wrenches on the market.
Luis Gonzalez It would appear that you have faulty equipment, you are not using it correctly, or whomever installed your lugnuts did not torque them correctly. You need 90SPI working pressure (meaning 90psi when the trigger is wide open....not when you are just pressurizing the lines prior to using your tools). Secondly, any fastener takes more torque to remove it than it takes to install it after any period of time goes by.....corrosion, salt, dirt, etc gets into the threads & this is why you can see a 250-lb guy standing on a breaker bar and not loosen the lugnuts on his F150. I am sorry that you have had bad experiences with impacts, but I would assume that there is more going on than you realize if this is a consistent problem you are having.
Real Tool Reviews I already knew that, I know 2 or 2000 things about tools. What I use for those lugs/nuts is a 1 inch, 2400 lf torque and it does the job. And if anyone ever comes up with a CORDLESS gun that can loose the 10 lugnuts in a single tire on my semi (it has 18)... IM IN!!!
Removing a Honda crank bolt is the ultimate test. Those bolts are tightened by the hand of Zeus himself
crxter I agree! :)

Hey dcm I need your honest opinion wich gun would you perfer for automotive use between this one and the m 18 fuel I am haveing a hard tine choseing and I need one because my snap on cordless just gave out on me out of warranty
It would depend on the other tools in the battery platform that you would want to expand into later. I would suggest looking at the M18 lineup & the IQv20 lineup to see what else you would want to buy later. The batteries & chargers are a huge expense & if you can buy some "bare tools" later on, you will save a lot of cash. Both are extremely powerful & its about 50/50 when I show auto-techs them both in person, one will like the IR more & the other will like the Milwaukee more.
I would end up buying a 3/8 and 1/4 inch impact and maby a 1/4 air ratchet witch one do you think has a better line up? Sorry about all the question but I want to ask someone with a unbias opinion
Oscar Diaz Well, it sounds like you will be buying tools in the 12 volt lineup & an 18/20 volt lineup. If thats the case, you could go with IR with one set & Milwaukee with the other.

Me either. I bet most don't know since it is covered.
The best choice is to own both Milwaukee do to the Compact size perfect for small areas and Ingersoll for Heavy Duty Jobs
The Gun is great when brand new, after a month it stopped working in reverse. I got it replaced under warranty, now the 2nd one wont work in reverse also. Product is manufactured in China.
Can you review the Mac tools 1/2 cordless? It's way stronger then the snap on 1/2 cordless. The Mac has 1200 of torque
I've never broken so many bolts or studs or screwed up so many threads form getting stuff to tight in my life until I got that impact gun..... completely worth it
Lucky dog you have the two best high torque impact on the market to play with I would kill to have one or the other :-P but since you have the two how bout a little competition I'm sure you can come up with a few test ;-)

Thats the worst part about comparison videos, they are typically steered one way or the other (even if unintentionally).
i was debating between the makita, Milwaukee, snap on, and ingersoll rand and they all have their pros and cons so i was stuck with milwaukee and the IR and i chose this one, this vid helped alot thanks
how long can you abuse these babies before they fail (if they ever do) ?
Years
how often do u have to lubricate your w7150? coz on the user manual it says to lube it with two types of grease every 8 hours
What is your fav/most powerfull 1/2 cordless impact currently? IR w5132?

I tried it on 2 Hondas that have never had the crank bolt taken off before with full battery power and it failed, this gun is still bad ass and has a lot of power but the Honda crank bolt wont come off with any 1/2 drive gun unless its been removed before. Ive only seen a 3/4 gun do it. Or the Honda holding tool and a very big breaker bar or a long pipe. Ive been a technician for 30+ years and worked at Honda for 5 of those years. Still a great tool
Thanks
Howie
Howie Walton I agree......there are some bolts out there than nothing will remove.....on average though --- MOST impacts cannot remove any Honda crank bolts.....the W7150 popped two off in this video with ease.
Real Tool Reviews why they came off easy. The only impact gun that will take a Honda crank bolt off that hasnt been done before in a 3/4 drive impact gun. Still a great tool for the money. I have it and will use it when not at the shop
believe mine is a w7000 by far the best gun I've ever owned. either most bolts come off, or it breaks it.
Okay, there's your cross-grain, green oak... But can it drive home through yellow pine that's cured for 60 - 100 years?
Westerly Sunn Sadly Lowes does not sell 100 year old yellow pine.......so the railroad tie, oak stump, and tree will have to do ;)
Thanks, just kiddin around. I've been looking for high grade lags. The tool is mighty impressive... and for that price, it oughta' be!
Sold!!
+ Real Tool Reviews Whats your favorite brand of impact sockets?
Price-wise.....TEKTON --- Quality-wise.......Proto
Thanks!
hola q tal? sabes donde puedo comprar el interruptor de este artefacto ? me lo trajeron de regalo hace un tiempo ya pero se rompio el interruptor y aqui en uruguay no hay representante de esa marca
i didnt see any locktite on that bolt? but i really this thing can do crank bolts!
Is that normal when use it will have strong smell?
Weiqin Zhu I think some people are more sensative to smells than others....if you feel that yours is having a specific problem, I would suggest sending it in for a warranty repair. Better safe than sorry!
the stop feather doesn't work anymore after 1 year
urtjytjtuty I would suggest calling it in under warranty if any tool develops a problem.
tool is 3 years old should be cost half of the price
exo501 Well, although it is 3 years old, they havent come out with a new model....so I doubt that will happen until some new version is released. A big portion of the cost is the batteries and charger....the bare tools are much less expensive.
Hey man, thanks again for your review. I made my purchase and completed my first test and the real reason I bought the thing in the first place. Made a little video of it.
Ingersoll Rand W7150 First Use & Test
Thanks!!
Cameron Grady Thanks for the follow-up video! I am glad that it worked out for you & that I was able to show you what to expect with it ahead of time :) Nice job on the video btw!
Hi. Just a couple of questions. Is the charger a multi voltage type? Can it handle both 120V/60Hz and 220V/50Hz? Is the motor brushless?
Burger Birger I looked at the bottom of the charger & yes, it says input voltage 100-240V ~ 50/60Hz. The motor is brushed, not brushless. Thanks!
Excellent review, thank you.
700 ft/lbs of torque. Should be called the Ingersoll Rand Hellcat lol
Gold63Beast You should see the new IR 2235tiMAX2....it puts this to shame (power-wise).....it puts out 1,350 ft-lbs of nutbusting reverse torque! The W7150 has 1,100 ft-lbs reverse nutbusting torque :)
Yes...that is the most powerful 1/2" impact there is......and you are correct, it is pneumatic (air) powered. I assume battery power will get there before too long, but for now the 2235 is king.
Thank you so much for your review as an automotive student I wanted to get set with an impact for home use so I'm picking this one up. At school we use ingersoll rand pneumatic and they are really nice. One question I have is where is this tool made?
China.. unfortunately
I disagree with cutting the case. I keep the boot on mine and the case shuts. As long as you push the gun firmly into the tray portion, the top will shut and lock without any distortion to the case or damage to the boot.
I tried that initially, but it was putting way too much pressure on the hinges themselves, and I was afraid that it would end up breaking them, since that would be the weakest link on the case itself. If your case wasnt doing that though, I am glad to hear you got it to work without modifying it. Thanks for the reply!
No problem! I like your channel, keep up the good work. Pretty sure you post on garagejournal under a different name. I've had my gun over a year and haven't had any issues that others have mentioned, i end up using it more than my 2135timax! I also got the milwaukee 2654-22ct over the IR W5131 i believe is their 3/8 and couldnt be happier. I also got the IR 3/8 ratchet, awesome tools.
99GrandAM3400
Well thanks! Yep it is different on GG, I just happen to join under different names....same person though ;)
awesome video! I'm looking to get either this impact or Milwaukee's. from the comparison of the two and rest of ur videos the Milwaukee seems to be slightly better. I don't know still what would be my best pick. I'm leaning towards Milwaukee because I couldn't use the same battery for other tools or buy a impact just the tool itself? I'm not sure if it's in the same line as the rest of their products that can interchange batteries. can I do that with the IR? which one do you think would handle longer constant use? sorry for all the questions, any advice will help! Thanks!
+Arthur Garcia All of the brands can use the same batteries on other tools in those lineups. With the exception of IR....the W7150 will only work with the high capacity packs (3.0ah & 5.0ah).....the compact packs will not power the W7150.
Looks like Doosan's purchase of Ingersoll Rand has had no impact upon quality. Excellent tool!
mdlindse Thanks! I agree...this impact is awesome!
Great job on the video. I hate those honda crank bolts. But seeing this and the milwaukee fuel makes my air tools feel obsolete.
Thanks! ....stay tuned....soon (hopefully within a month) I will be reviewing some new pneumatic tools that I am sure will impress everyone ;) Air isnt dead or dying in my opinion.....I think that having both kinds of impacts (cordless & air) is the way to go.
does anyone know how to service this unit thnaks in advance
no just speed,,to poor, use that tool kan breake studs or nut
The red protective boot/sleeve makes it look so sleek. Plus it protects. At first glance it looks like you powdered coated it to personalize it.
Gold63Beast Yeah I really like the IR protective boots....not bulky & they do a great job saving the finish. Nice idea about the powercoating....not sure how to do that one though! ;)
Does this come in 3/4 " drive?
John Gault Nope, 1/2" only at this time.
Great review. I ended up with the Milwaukee fuel only because I have the Milwaukee 3/8 fuel impact. Cut down on chargers and use the same batteries. But that is a nice gun !
Thanks! :)
great video, i have had an IR impact for 4 years now and it has been great. Thunder gun model when it first came out i think. I think im going to make the move to a cordless due to our new temp. living situation.
if you do other reviews could you throw in some measured torque on a bolt. The tree stuff looks impressive but its hard to gauge exactly how impressive.
+Jeffrey Lurch This video is much older than the the current ways I test impact wrenches. Now we do torque testing on them all to prove actual torque specs......check out the video I made comparing this one to the Milwaukee & Dewalt to see actual numbers.
can u give your advice about wch one i should buy. 2763 m18 or this one .
i need your advice based on the qualtiy
They are both very good impacts.....the share the top spot as far as power goes. I honestly think it would boil down to personal preference & which tool line has other compatible tools with what you are looking for. The IR has the IQv20 line that is compatible with batteries/chargers.....and Milwaukee has the M18 line. Each company caters to a different crowd, so just check out the other tools & see how you would want to expand later. Both are excellent impacts.
I wanna know where you got a lag screw that can stand up to that torque!
Can you drive it home cross-grain from the side of the stump?
Westerly Sunn The lag screw was the absolute biggest size that I could find locally at Lowes....it was bigger than the sizes that Tractor Supply had.
I never even realized it had the removable lid. Nice.
What is the dynamic torque on the IR?
Cool review, when it come time to replace the battery would the cost of the battery almost equal to the coast of replacing the whole set?
Thanks! And nope, a battery for this costs around $125 I think....so it would not make sense to junk the whole thing later when/if you had battery issues (out of warranty). I do know that IR is keeping the IQv20 battery platform & is not changing it anytime soon....I specifically asked them about that & they said there are no plans to change it. So, finding batteries down the line shouldnt be an issue.
Nice
1 bar isn't 25% power it's 25% capacity and with lithium ion they give pretty much the same "power" all the way through there capacity except when they die its pretty instant
Yep thats right, 25% capacity....aka 25% power remaining, sorry if it came across the wrong way. I did mention that the lithium battery provides the same power output from start to finish...thanks for commenting!
dmcguinn1 I wasn't saying it as if you didn't know I just said it because you mentioned it only had 1 bar left and still removed that bolt with ease and like you said same power all through its charge so that wouldn't matter
TheLukey21 Oh, I didnt think that....I figured that the way I worded it was confusing....I appreciate you pointing it out. I mentioned it in the video, because with other videos, so many people ask me "yeah because XYZ tool had a full charge....". Thanks for replying & clearing it up. :)
dmcguinn1 I see, looks like more people need to learn about lithium based battery's then so they get how they work. Thanks for the super quick responses
Please review the Ingersoll Rand W7152 Impact Wrench
There are some here. I can't wait to get mine.
What country is this made in?
Is the motor also brushless?
The W7150 has a brushed motor which is serviceable (replaceable brushes). The brushless technology is relatively new, and as far as I know is not a serviceable motor. This particular impact has been out for over 2 years & I have not read anything online about the power/motor life having issues due to brushes wearing out.
Lol I like how this guy reviews. It's like he's being sarcastic.
Zed Runner Umm....thanks? haha :)
Best review of this IR impact on youtube, no one else comes close to displaying what this impact can truly do. Great job! I happen to own the M18 variant but one can't go wrong with either. Now if I were you, I'd jump in the plane on the background and take a nice cruise in the sky!
Well thanks a lot! Oh, and the plane was at a mechanic friend of mine's farm.....I drove up there 60 miles one way, just to get the extra footage of that Honda Civic crank bolt.....120 mile round trip & 3 hours to get 30 seconds of video!! See all the effort I put into these videos for you guys! ;) haha
dmcguinn1 Wow! Talk about going the extra mile! Well, miles! You really are dedicated to your channel. Actually, I was thinking to myself, wow he happened to have two Hondas laying around lol. Keep up the fantastic reviews!
How much does it go for?? $$$
Which one is better the IR or Milwaukee?
BUZDRIFT Here is my opinion to that question ;) --- th-cam.com/video/tzqYnZ2DUa4/w-d-xo.html
Real Tool Reviews Thanks for that, didn't spot it.
Cheers!
Toolfight tia style?;)
Or, a proper tool fight ! Not TIA style
Haha...well I think TIA does make some entertaining tool fights.....for now, I am probably just going to stick to reviews ;)
So, would you have any reason to recommend the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2763-22 over this?
Cameron Grady It's up in the air about 50/50 with all the mechanics that I have shown them to. Boils down to personal preference & which battery lineup that people want to go with. They are tied with power levels.
dmcguinn1 Understandable... I haven't invested in a battery system yet, so I guess I'm looking at the bigger picture here as well. It wasn't until VERY recently that I've taken these cordless 1/2" impact systems seriously... There are things I like about both systems, but I do feel I am leaning toward the IR. I also like both their 12 & 20v 3/8" drive impact wrenches (from the specs/vids I've seen) Which one (of the two 1/2" options) was your personal favorite in actual use?
Cameron Grady Well I think you are going to be pleasantly surprised with either of them. For me, it depends on what else I am working on & what other tools I am using.....I hate having to carry around multiple types of batteries. The feel/balance isnt as noticeable to me as it is to some, and I think they are both very good/well made impacts.
dmcguinn1 Fair enough. Thanks for the super quick responses. If it's all down to personal choice, I think I'm going to go with the IR system. Please keep putting up these great tool reviews!
Cameron Grady Thanks for commenting! I appreciate you taking the time to ask questions & to watch the reviews :)
excelente herramienta cual es el precio??
I've been watching your videos and I want to buy the ingersoll w7150 and the Ingersoll Ratchet too.
Hank memiggen Nice :) I think you will be very happy with both of them!
I'll see if the stores have something for black friday
Great video!! I'm going to buy one for work.
Jeremiah Perez Thanks Jeremiah! I am glad you liked it! :)
Do I need to do any service for the impact wrench?
Weiqin Zhu The suggested maintenance is covered in your owners manual. Minor lubrication & the occasional re-greasing.
Thank you for awesome review!! i am looking for buying one of these and was wondering if it is safe to buy from JBtool link above. Thanks.
teonguyen1 Thanks! And yep, JBToolsales is 100% safe, which is why I linked to them :)
dmcguinn1 Just placed the order (W7150-K2 and Protective boot) with them ..Thanks :)
teonguyen1 I think you will really like it.....it has a TON of power! :)
Please review the

I think I'm ready to build more rail roads
elgoofy4 Haha nice :)
Shit's huge.
n3rdbear Between this & your 2763 comment....I am starting to think you dont like the full-size 1/2" cordless impacts ;) haha
2764>than this
M18 and ir tool fight would be good
If I could find a way to fairly make one, I would try.....the problem is finding materials/fasteners that are consistent (for example.....wood --- you cannot install a lagbolt the same speed because of the wood grain, hidden knots inside, etc).
Good point, why dont you try tightening a nut onto a bolt with each gun, as tight as possible, and then measure wich one has more torque then you could check which one has more nut busting torque and also a runtime challenge, that would be good.
neezar dehni
Well I tried that already, with the 2763 I wanted to see how tight it could make the nut on the trailer ball (1" shank & 1 1/2" nut) & it literally made it so tight it fused the threads together & when I removed it with the W7150, the threads all stripped off. Milwaukee told me that the larger the fastener, the tighter it would make it.
As far as runtime goes, the 2763 has a 4.0 amp hour battery & the W7150 has a 3.0 amp hour.....so I think the runtime would be longer with the Milwaukee, but the re-charge time would be faster with the Ingersoll Rand.
This is pretty much why I haven't done a comparison test, since first of all I cant show which would be more powerful (if either) and second, with the different battery capacities it would not be fair as far as runtime goes.
With these two impacts, it really boils down to personal preference I believe. When I show one mechanic them, they will like the IR more.....then the next mechanic likes the Milwaukee more. Both of them are excellent impacts.
Great job!!
Thanks Jeffrey!
Now, how is this in comparison to Snap-on's
Josh Martin The IR wins....hands down. Check out the specs on the Snap-on CT8850 here --- www.dieseltechmag.com/2014/12/get-monster-torque-and-performance
powerfull !!
do you have to say the whole model name each time you are showing it doing a new task :P haha
+Martin møller I wanted to make sure you realized it didnt change ;)
+Real Tool Reviews hehe 😀 i really lile your reviews and you do some neat tools. but sometimes... you drive me crazy with that thick american accent saying the same over and over 😄😄😄
sounds weak
very nice
Сергей Карапузов Thanks!
How much?
454 dolares
now i know what to get to do my timing belt in my 02 accord
MrZerocool5000 Yeah....this would do it!
+brian0918 thx man
looks better like milwaukee
itdiagnostyka I'm not sure what you are saying? :/
would love to see this versus Dewalt DCF899
+neppy5 Coming up soon......stay tuned!
yesssssss!
This is one of the best portable impact gun to have & use.
Well done.
angelisone Thanks! I agree!
Real Tool Reviews Do you know if the battery can be re-celled by us if needed, once they go bad?
I know I can re-celled my Quantum Turbo Battery Pack after learning how to do it from ATG.
angelisone Some people do....I would never feel comfortable messing around with lithium cells, since they can explode if you short them out.
Real Tool Reviews That was a fair statement. But you work on equipment & vehicles, right?
When was the last time you've stripped the stick shift car?
My question is very common that many people would want to know rather than buying a battery for as high as $200.00.
If one has this impact, most likely he or she knows basic electricity.
And know how to work on equipment.
Heck, you & I know not short out a 12v car battery.
Nor would I shave my legs in the bathtub with an AC razor.
Any site that will show us how to DIY on IR that you know of?
angelisone There is a lot more to soldering batteries in place than "basic electricity". Like I said, some people do it.....I am not one of them. A 12v lead car battery & high-powered lithium cells are not the same by any means, and are very dangerous if you are not extremely experienced & safe when handling them.
I would imagine that there are TH-cam videos showing you how to do this, but none I would feel comfortable doing.
I want one!
anthony diodati Haha nice :)
Nice demonstration young man, I wish I could invite you over to loose a couple of nuts in my semi-tractor. I bet your fabulous tool would run out of charge before it even warm up a bolt. I own myself one that is rated at 900lf forward and 1100lf reverse. The specs for the wheel lugs on my semi are 480lf and for the main bolts on the frame is about 900lf... Let me tell you, if those lugs could talk they would be giggling at my very "Powerful" gun. It uses only the standard 90psi to operate and it doesn't even come close to loose anything. Im am plain tired and I find ridiculous whenever I see the newest "nut busting", "big torque", "lose everything" impact wrenches on the market.
Luis Gonzalez It would appear that you have faulty equipment, you are not using it correctly, or whomever installed your lugnuts did not torque them correctly. You need 90SPI working pressure (meaning 90psi when the trigger is wide open....not when you are just pressurizing the lines prior to using your tools). Secondly, any fastener takes more torque to remove it than it takes to install it after any period of time goes by.....corrosion, salt, dirt, etc gets into the threads & this is why you can see a 250-lb guy standing on a breaker bar and not loosen the lugnuts on his F150. I am sorry that you have had bad experiences with impacts, but I would assume that there is more going on than you realize if this is a consistent problem you are having.
Real Tool Reviews I already knew that, I know 2 or 2000 things about tools. What I use for those lugs/nuts is a 1 inch, 2400 lf torque and it does the job. And if anyone ever comes up with a CORDLESS gun that can loose the 10 lugnuts in a single tire on my semi (it has 18)... IM IN!!!
I'm not a huge fan of electric impacts but that's just straight up impressive.
