Finally made this one. Can't go wrong either way I think. But the Flex does have a cool feature over the Milwaukee. Links to the impact wrenches are IN the video and located beneath it. Just click their pictures.
Thanks for the video. I just got one as a backwater replacement from acme tools and I was pretty shocked. So far it's performance has been really good but I haven't pushed it like the torque test channel will. Really excited to see their video as well.
Have both have the Milwaukee for sale now.. flex just more comfortable and you can't beat the price.. the only bad branding decision Flex made was going into Lowe's.. love the deals but there marketing tools sucks
Wish Lowes would invest in their kobalt line more and address some issues with their high output batteries. But love their performance. Really hoping a new kobalt high torque drops.
Yes, that Flex is lit! Literally... I do like the Milwaukee lights, bought the rocket light and love it! Like the video, well done. Not to be overly OCD, but audio tracking is off just a bit. Noticed it during the trigger press segment you showed. That being said, like the format and the nuances that you shared! Not in the market for a new full torque, looking for a mid, would be interested in your thoughts on a couple of those?
Hey Tim! Thanks for the comment and yeah, I noticed the audio tracking got a smidge off too. I might be low on storage, that's the first time that ever happened. Agree with you on the Rocket lights. The lighting is perfect!
@@ToolDeals Absolutely, and thank you for talking it up (rocket light) or I would not have pulled the trigger. And purchased it from Tools Direct, so thank you for that recommendation as well! They have saved me some money, or not because I keep buying, but the extra 30% is nice. Plus, they ship quick, although in retail boxes, but I have only had to return one thing and one thing came used. Rigid cut off tool, but it cleaned up and works amazing. Again, thank you!
Great video Chris!!! Mil goin to fall off the cliff.. lol I didn't know Flex had the three lights and six settings. Can't wait for Torque Test channel to test. I think the Flex has the vibration stabilizer. I mean like less vibration like the first gen high torque.
Yeah, the vibration is something I can't test so I'm excited to see their testing of it. I look at power but the thing I pay attention to is their "wrist breaking" score too. Sometimes the Milwaukee, the old one anyway, could make my hand a tad bit numb if I had a really stubborn bolt. But for sure, the lights are very cool! The ability to dim them is highly underrated. Nothing worse than getting blinded under a car from too much light.
I love these comparison videos. I'd ask you to compare This Milwaukee High Torque to the Metabo HPT's High Torque. I've been on the fence for a year now and can't decide which to go with. I've got batteries for both platforms. Thanks!!
Ok, so if we're talking the OLD impact wrenches since I had both of those I'd say Milwaukee. There were several times my Metabo just couldn't do it where my Milwaukee would knock it out. The Milwaukee was also smaller and easier to handle. I held on to the Metabo for the warranty and the ability to use it with AC because I have the adapter too, which, I'd still probably upgrade it for that reason alone. But the Milwaukee never let me down in any situation.
@ToolDeals acme tools got it for preorder for 419. Fastnersinc has it posted on a flyer for 399 but cant find a listing. I love fastnersinc they have some pretty good deals sometimes and no tax. But they seem to sometimes have amazing deals run too but are in store only and they are in cali and im in jersey. I see the flyers sometimes and the prices get insane at the right time like unheard of prices

Definitely marketing sucks!

Dewalt jus released their version of the monster impact in 3/4" dcf964. The dcf961 is 1/2" which has been out
Dang! i gotta see if TTC tested yet! Running to the search box now.
@ToolDeals they have only tested somebody modified version previously. Well have wait to see if there a difference

Here Chris I'm here 😆
Hey Ray! Thanks for the comment!
TTC just released a video eith the 1/2 flex. Its actually smaller
Thanks 😂Chris '!
Any time Leonard!
The Milwaukee was built with the H.O bat3 and Forge in mind that why it look weird with the 5.0
Good to note because... 😬 LOL.
The Flex 3.5 stacked is weigh (pun) lighter than the M18 6ah and I believe puts out more watts. I’ll take the flex that’s actually lighter IRL 🍻
The flex is a nice impact
It is! Heavy, just like any other Flex tool.
Chris had me laughing at “how stupid the Milwaukee looks.” It’s about to fall off a cliff 😂
Like a woman screaming in your ear 🤣
Still can’t decide if I want the 3/4 flex or 3/4 Bosch Profactor
The Bosch is feature RICH. But, I'm not sure the power is there. I do know the 1/2" has the power of the high torque's of last year.
@@ToolDeals yeah, I’ll just buy both 😅
