Upgraded from an older 18v kit. ru-vid.comUgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv I independently chose the drill and impact tool, before I came across the kit.I like the 3 speed impact gun. It seems more powerful than my older one, and it can be set to be really gentle. The drill is more appropriately sized for my use. I used to have a hammer drill, but I did not like that it was so big and it was not a great hammer drill. I rather have a smaller drill like this, and then get a corded hammer drill for the odd case I need that.
As a plumber working in new construction residential projects and high rise projects the m18 brushed drill and impact driver both work perfectly in a 8 to 10 hour work period.
Just got this 2850-20 kit (with the 2.0, charger, and bag) sealed for 80$ shipped. It's my first brushless as I'm coming from the one+ Ryobi platform. The difference in sound is interesting. Not only quieter but a little more electric sounding (if that makes any sense at all). Kind of like the first time you drive/hear a rotary engine after driving piston engines your whole life.
You got a nice deal, and great choice. Yes, the new brushless motors are cool. They are more durable, more compact and they spin a little faster than brushed motors.
Funny, I ran across this video and I actually have both of these drivers. They are so similar in speed, torque and power that I don't favor one over the other. However, I am leery of brushless tools as all of the extra electronics are a huge failure point and their longevity is questionable to doubtful. I still have two Milwaukee drills and a deck screw gun from 1995 when I started my business and I doubt any brushless or even any tool with mosfets and circuit boards will last half as long.
I had never thought of that technique for testing torque on the drivers! I'm gonna try it out with my 7 year old brushed impact driver vs a new brushless one tomorrow.
@@CraftyWorkshopBuilds me to the work perfect for my job as well as at home especially work most the shop on air hose and compressors beat dragging a hose around for sure wish I would of got the fuel in a way but am still very happy now just need bigger battery and I'm gravy
Thank you, I've been looking around to see if there were any videos of these little impact drivers in combo kits being used to remove lug nuts on cars. Also need a driver for small projects around the house and shop. Big ups
@@CraftyWorkshopBuilds ended up getting a combo kit on sale the 2999-22CXC Fuel M18 kit at Home Depot. Came with the M18 Fuel Surge 2760-20 hydraulic impact driver, and the M18 Fuel 2804-20 Hammer Drill. Hopefully the 2760-20 works okay like the ones you showed, otherwise I'll be sad.
@@CraftyWorkshopBuilds haven't had a chance to try it on my car just yet but my car's torque specs aren't sky high, 80-90ft-lbs, but another RU-vidr tried this impact drill on a truck's lug nut and it couldn't break it loose. 😢 All good though, I can always break it loose by hand then use the tool to get it off completely.
Yea, you might have to break it loose by hand then use the impact to do the rest. If you want the tool to do all the work, you might have to consider an 1/2 drive impact that's rated for more ft pounds of torque.
Bigger battery more power for using these drills as he is using. My advice do your research before purchase also consider voltage platforms example 12volts, 18volts, 20volts, 60volts etc. Happy researching
Brushless n brushed Milwaukee impact and drills can’t take advantage of high output battery’s it just more run time for them, fuel is what you want to take advantage of high output.
@@Ethnosis regular brushed 4.5 angle grinder definitely takes advantage of high output batteries. I work with Milwaukee tools every day. And swapped all my xc's for H.O and performance is much higher. (not sure of overall life of tool though)
Fantastic video def worth subscribing to, this was super informative, is there a chance you could use them to tighten a bolt on something and then use the torque meter to see how well they actually secured the bolt or nut?
I never realized that the small bits could be put directly in an impact driver, I thought they would go in too far and get stuck. I guess I should have looked at how far in the locking adapters go in.
Yea, the small bits can fit but they are not ideal. I only used these because I only had one of the regular size bits and a bunch of the small bits. To make the test more fair, I used the small bits in both impact drivers.
I also just got the m12 fuel kit just like that but on m12 platform, I was gonna get a matco drill and impact driver but this time the Milwaukee was cheaper I got some discounts ended paying 250$ for the kit and an extra 2.0 battery.
If I would be getting the equivalent tools on matco infinium 12v with no batteries of charger I would be paying over $280 for brushed motors, I do own infinium tools but I go for the better price on either Milwaukee of infinium
I just got my 2851-20 today and the light on my brushed impact is better... little disappointing but I don’t work in the dark too often so I can deal with it ool
@@CraftyWorkshopBuilds I'm sure like me, everyone went from there website to here. When you Google Milwaukee brushless vs brushed it goes directly to this video.
