Didn't know how satisfying it is to watch impacts in slow-mo like that. Highlights have to be the milwaukee battery trying its hardest to escape, and how much you can hear the extra thump of the big dcf.
Thank you very much for this video! There are a lot of different opinions on this topic but this pretty much settles it for me, I am going to buy a set of impact sockets, since I'd like to avoid ruining my chrome sockets.
The limiting factor isn’t the socket. It’s the battery powered tool in this case. Try the test with pneumatic impact wrenches and you might have better luck
It also depends what air pressure you’re running in pneumatic tools well, also determine their strength yes, the cordless stuff is more convenient, but in the long run is not as durable and reliable With air impact wrench, you don’t have to worry about batteries or fancy electronics that stuff is nice, but it’s also more that can go wrong
I snapped a new 1-1/2 impact socket tightening frame bolts (gomaco commander 3 paver) 12 bolts in a row with a dcf961 with 9amp flex battery 15-20sec of impacting on each bolt
So there was no tightening spec i assume, just tightened until it stopped moving? I would think X ft lbs plus X degrees would be best for big fasteners. Some newer axle nuts are like that now. As well as many head bolts.
I see problem on this test. It seem to me, that you are testing socket on skidmore. Try it on nut welde on not moving part. I see 21mm a 24mm Cr-V socket craking with less powerfuel impact.
I have heard that chrome sockets can prematurely wear out the anvil of the impact wrench as well. That would be a major concern of mine. Does anyone know if that is accurate? Love your videos! Thanks!
