Removing 650 ft. lbs. with Milwaukee M18 FUEL 1/2" Mid-Torque Impact Wrench Review | 2960-20  

Lmfao, I've seen them kill like 6 oil pans.

😂😂😂😂 accurate af

😂😂😂

Don't forget the filter.. I've had to cut 2 filters off my diesel.. crazy tight

And the tire place across the street must share same one to put your lug nuts on..

there we gooo 😂

Ironhorse with my oil filter on my atv

Right? LOL

And the earplugs😂

@@blyhur1974 let’s talk in 20 years after you’ve been too cool to wear ear plugs or safety glasses

@@RockyMountainWest13 exactly

Yep he's gone miss out on that cool story to tell about how he got the nickname, Patches

I had the same reaction

Same here !!

Same

Just curious, because I wouldn't know, would using a torque wrench as a breaker bar, as long as you don't exert more than the rated torque on the bar, be a problem?

@@colin_deans torque wrenches aren’t supposed to be used to loosen

Your a little monster 😏

"Keep that ole' girl going and she'll last forever" 🤔

Until they get rid of fuel forever

@@danielsvisionI’d love to see it happen

I’m picking one up soon

You were tightening it instead of taking it all play that dopeshit somewheres else

This true?

@@NickRoeder It does hit decently hard but not as hard as the marketing material leads you to believe. It’s a good tool for the price just don’t expect it to beat a good air impact.

Huh

And fiction posts like this is how Trump became president. 🤦

@@HimmelWeint it absolutely beats 1/2" air tools

Lol So you are saying your impact makes one inch air impacts obsolete?😆🤣😆🤣😆

@floydndaisy As an engineering student… this has made my week 😂 but also as an engineering student, I would propose 650 is a close enough approximation for the intended use case… unless of course you’re a pure math kinda guy, then we have a different issue…

You forgot sig figs 😉😂 kidding-ish

🤣😂

The new washer was a dead give away.

Yall realize he tightened it to a specific torque to prove the milwaukee could break it free? This has nothing to do with loosening a rusted bolt lol.

@@a29s12 a dead give away to what? He put it on infront of us🤣

@@freedomfox8183 you really don't get my comment? You are basically agreeing with me. I'm agreeing that it was a test because of the washer being "the dead give away". It wasn't rusted on and thermal cycled. It would be harder to take off but it's been removed and re torqued. I would of liked to see him break it loose before the test just to see if it would get the bolt out. I mean the camera and impact were already there. I understand the test but it's just not "real world".

Pumpkin D

That was the easiest 650ft-lbs i ever saw.

Snap on couldn’t have done it.

4ft bar +240ish lbs man = 650ftlbs

@@Koontzy. lol

I was thinking the same

Milwuakee Fuel M18 is the only power tool battery line that u can use their mid torque to do the job of heavy/high torque fastening & nut busting. I’d still use the high torque if frequently used. Each tool for a specific job so the tool lasts longer.

Aaron Cubitt wth are you talking about man?

I thoutgh the same

He did it purposefully to show how strong the other device was.

That's what I see. Just remember kids; Lefty Lucy, Righty Tighty.

@@thomasfocas5991 loosie

You do realize he was tightening by torguing it to 650 and then remove it using the impact driver to show that it could remove it right?

Not sure about Milwaukee but dewalt 60v batteries would last for days doing this. But Milwaukee chargers are faaaaaast!!!! 30mins tops to charge one of the batteries on the cordless in this video

Well as you see in the video air is very limited to the garage. I can tell you I can change 120 lug nuts on my semi and trailer on one charge and still have some left and I can keep it in my truck for when I’m on the road.

Yep. Between the impacts and the ratchet, I'm good.

Thanks Milwaukee for making these more affordable than Snap On or Matco

Their die grinder dose not replace the numatic. But yes, battery impacts are top knoch.

Lol My air impacts donkey stomp this cordless junk.

It's called Flex. The lifetime warranty sounds great but what if soon after, your replacement craps out. It's too soon for me to buy. They probably are great tools, but I'll stick with what I have, dewalt and Milwaukee.

They all over promise & under deliver except Milwaukee & some Dewalt.

@@retiredrebel I have seen videos on Milwaukee's 1/2 inch battery impact guns. The first generation was just top of the line, then the gen 2 were braking like crazy. Have a look around for the comparison video you will see what I mean. There are several posts on people complaining about having there drivers braking. Just trying to help you avoid problems.

I never have, because I cant. There is absolutely no way that was 650.

Not a chance in hell. Maybe 200, but I'd doubt even 250.

I've torqued stuff to 500ft lbs. That looked to be around probably 550 +/-

@@1985cjjeeper Seriously? Are you guys joking? I just replaced the steering rack on a Dodge ram 1500. Factory torque specs = 235ft lbs. I'm 6'1, 170lbs and I torqued those bolts with a shorter torque wrench than what you see in this video. You guys are soft.

@@92clintonr EXACTLY! Finally another actual man in the comments

Aahhaha

I guess you didn't understand the point of the video.

I've put hundreds of hours into those cordless Milwaukee drills. torquing down like 50 bolts a round and they do just fine.

You know what your IR can't do though? Operate literally anywhere without a compressor. You're missing the point of cordless tools entirely.

I have the m12 and love it. Wanting ahigh torque, but this make some think the mid is ideal with size vs power.

Lmao you really think that its inch pounds with that huge fuckin torque wrench?

@@jacibflores97209 idk if you could even go as low as that with that monster

@@skizzik121 lmao that’s what I’m saying

@@jacibflores97209 idk man he barely exerted any force, i torque bolts all day and 350ft-lb on any torque wrench I can guarantee will click louder

Yep that's kind of the point .

I thought the same shit

Set at 150FP 🤨

@@kdigiacomo and snap on still wouldn’t do it

Its the other way around.

@@peterrose1695 It's absolutely not. Pulling something Downhill is always easier than pushing something uphill.

@@peterrose1695 dick is right Pete.

Yeah it's static friction vs kinetic friction. The breakaway torque should be higher. At least according to physics.

If you look at the specs it says breakaway torque is 1500ftlb and tightening torque 1100ftlb. Why would you make an impact that tightens harder than its breakaway. No one used impacts to tighten things on mainly. They usually use a torque wrench. Since tightening a bolt is more specific to its application. Why is it you always see people testing a device on how well it loosens. Its because breakaway torque is a selling point with impact drivers. So of course its going to be tighter than tightening torque capabilities.

It’s most like likely the 1/2 inch driver

The dude is easy 240lbs with almost all his wieght on a 4-5ft bar he clicking around 650ftlbs easily.

I own the snap on 3/8, and have used the M18 cordless 1/2. The M18 is a best. It may even be stronger than my IR Titanium 1/2 numatic, that can snap off a 9/16 stud. Check out the torque test channel. It's pretty certain to say that IR and Milwaukee are all around the best imnpacts.

How do you know it was torqued to what he said it was?

@@G19Jeeper very good question..... Damn why'd u have to say that 🤣

But the Milwaukee 1/2” was tested up against the DeWalt and preformed better lol.

@@Owensti these "tests" are all stages and shit. I use Mac, which is DeWalt, but I have the M18 and Ingersoll. Each has pluses the most powerful is the Ingersoll and best battery life is DeWalt. I don't go by some set up shit on the internet I go by actual hands on usage.

@@hommie789 I don’t think they are staged. There’s a guy who did a review by the name of “ ProjectFarm “ that uses equal and constant test on all tools. I also too have DeWalt & Milwaukee and always find myself leaning on Milwaukee’s side. Longer battery life , faster charging time & over all quick and very durable. I guess it just depends the application.

I am glad to hear that. I run dewault, and want a high torque. I can't help but want the Milwaukee for the job with their huge numbers. But I have several batteries for Dewault. I feel like Dewault will do great, don't have to over kill.

Dulce? Isn't than an ice-cream?

@@anne_frank_ yeah it's pretty fucking sweet

What an absolute banger of a joke my guy. Laughed for hours.

Same here. My nearly 15 year old batteries are almost done for though. All I can find is replacements for the guts, which I will have to buy if I can't find the whole battery.

@@1985cjjeeper a snap on 14.4v impact is no where near a 650 ft/lb tool you are both daydreaming snap on fanboys.

@Fuck You he wasn't criticizing the video

1963 My Grandfather purchased it new.

@@WrenchesRides Nice, it looks good.

Obviously but that’s not the point, he has another vid of doing this with a ryobi up to 600ft lbs. It may take longer if bolt hadn’t already been cracked. Who’s to say if torquing a bolt 1st would help crack it I’ve never tried.

Doesn’t feel that way sometimes

He’s not. Watch it again and see if you’re right.

@@sepiternal I'm not sure what your watching. But why don't you tell me which way he should be turning; clockwise or anticlockwise?

Are you being for real right now? Fact: you turn clockwise to tighten, he did so with the torque wrench, the words Farmall are not flips so this video is not mirrored or anything, so it’s obvious he tightened, then he hammered it out with Milwaukee, I have no idea where you say he’s turning the bolt the wrong way

Depending on location. I can get a bare tool of that at Ace for $200. Battery like the one he has on that is about $80.

At Home Depot I was able to get this impact and the the wrench for 200

Agreed

No shit
