Best Impact Wrench (COMPACT)? Milwaukee vs DeWalt, Ridgid, Ingersoll Rand
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 06. 2024
- BRANDS TESTED: Dewalt, Milwaukee Fuel, Ingersoll Rand, AC Delco, and Ridgid. Impact wrenches tested for max forward and reverse torque, and low and high RPM. Impact wrenches tested in a side-by-side comparison removing lug nuts torqued to 100 ft lbs and an endurance test driving lag bolts into lumber. I purchased all of the impact wrenches.

It's harder to trust online reviews now, which is why we need channels like this.
True story
Thanks!
Project Farm has a reputation of doing this well, which in turn is why I'm watching.
There's plenty of youtube shills around and some tests can be faked (not saying they are).
Agreed!
@Cortez Using fake reviews is fraud.
You should do a "Best of the year". A list of all the winner products.
Great recommendation! Thank you
I bet Milwaukee is up there for sure
Best comment of the year for this channel 👍
Do an all-time best for everything you have tested! That would then become my Bible for purchases!
And compare them! Even when it doesn't make any sense 😂😂😂
Absolutely love when you say , “AND WE’RE GONNA TEST THAT!”
Thanks!
Never gets old hearing it for me. Makes me smile every time. Iconic by now.
As someone who isn’t really into sports these videos have become my outlet for rooting for a team and hoping they win
Thanks! Glad you enjoy!
Lol
This channel is what Consumer Reports promised to be. Unlike CR, this channel actually delivers.
Thank you!
I wholeheartedly agree.
They got caught selling good ratings to the highest bidder.
@Incog Nito Consumer Reports has been selling car reviews for over a decade at this point. They consistently give high ratings to certain car manufacturers.
@@TehButterflyEffect Absolutely untrue. You are confusing 'Consumer Reports' with the other fake review brands 'Consumer Guide', 'Consumer Review' or any name that sounds like Consumer Reports. Over the decades many fakes have been created by the manufacturers to confuse and obfuscate the truth. The real one never sells anything, they buy all of the products (including cars) without anyone knowing who they are, meaning just a regular consumer buying a product. No advertising EVER and never any involvement from manufacturers. The car surveys are massive with thousands of members of the Consumers Union providing their results. Outliers are thrown out and the results are quite scientific.
Of course if you like some brand that does poorly in their results I can not help with that. I suggest a change of loyalty in that case.
I love when he's going over the specs and says, "we're gonna test that."
Thank you very much!
I want a tee shirt that says that...
@@kameljoe21 Chinese advert coming up
...I felt that
You know it defiantly makes companies nervous about their claims. If it says can drop it from 10ft high, PF will drop it from 10ft high. You dont makes a claim that PF wont test. Great channel as always
I bought a Milwaukee after watching this review. I was not disappointed. My kit came with 2a & 6a batteries, the 6a really makes a huge difference to it's torque capabilities. Keep up the good work
Thanks, will do! Thanks for the feedback.
It's not 2A or 6A, its 2Ah or 6Ah. Both have the same Power. In DC devices it's still P=U*I, the Volts and Amps in both batteries are the same. But the 6 Ah battery last longer.
@@MaxFitz-Gibbon the terminology is irrelevant. Your opinion is flawed. Due to the characteristics of lithium ion batteries, the larger battery gives more torque for longer. I know because I have the tool.

Milwaukee: we got this! Lol
One thing they cannot complain about: fairness and being an unbiased review.
by far one of the best comments!!!!! so true
In some cases, mfr gets on the phone and calls his accountant about the liquidation process.
Ok can we just appreciate the fact that this man not only spends all of his time and money on making these fantastic videos for us, but also finds time to listen to and respond to so many comments? These are the footsteps more channels need to follow in. Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks, will do!
The amount of editing he does is staggering. So many cuts, really makes the video snappy and informative.
I'm a big long time fan of this channel. But come on fellas, with a million and a half subscribers this is a business at this point.
I really do appreciate his reviews but as far as spending the money he actually makes money I think this channel is worth somewhere around two or $3 million lol. It’s not charity work but honestly he deserves whatever he gets.

Thank you yet again for a great review. I find it incredible that 2 of the 5 brands tested sell a product that is not able to do the most basic tasks adequately.
You are welcome! Thanks for the feedback.
Proved to me that Milwaukee is worth the few extra bucks! Have the M12 ratchet and now just ordered the impact. Appreciate what you do!!
Thanks!
You can’t even imagine how much money you have saved for those who carefully watch your reviews!
The only problem is if you buy the best tool for everything the battery will be the problem because of all the different charges
Very true! I've even switched my oil brand after watching his oil challenge.
@@tjboylan20 I have a ton of DEWALT batteries because 3 of the 5 tools I have have shit the bed.
Only 1 of 4 Milwaukee’s have died on me and that’s because I dropped it 150ft.. and it still worked for another year.

I'd love to see a revisit of this. Milwaukee and Makita in particular have come out with new models for sub-compact impact wrenches and Ridgid's wrench has supposedly gotten more compact with more power. I'd also love to see how brands like Ryobi, Craftsman, and Kobalt hold up.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I've had a Porter Cable 20V for a few years that I love. Would like to see this added to see how it stacks up.
Also Snap-On and Matco!

Project Farm is one of the channels that has earned the right to have every ad play fully so he gets every cent per view.

Every time, I need a review, and I mean a great review for tools you come on top bro. As an engineer and a retire mechanic you have the best review that makes the logical choice and qualifications that most will need. Other try to do as good as you but you are the best so far I have seen. Thanks man!

I’ve got the Ridgid stubby and love it. With the 4ah it’s killer. Good deals and amazing warranty too
Thanks for the feedback.
I just wish Rigid was more consistent with Its quality. Milwaukee is nearly always a top finisher, DeWalt is usually good, some times average. (Things change though)
Inconsistency is why these reviews are invaluable.
Which one to Rigid or Milwaukee, Need to work on my truck.
Would love to see this test again comparing the newer brushless models vs old, missing Ryobi, and also a short drop test. Lot of the impacts that are more enthusiast quality usually pickup some heavy use damage over time. Milwaukee and DeWalt are seen at a lot of construction sites for a reason.
Can we get an accuracy test of different torque wrenches as well as torque sticks?
Great suggestion!
I second the torque sticks. Also interested in how accurate air pressure “tire pressure” testers are
He did a torque wrench test a while back, and it seemed like the icon brand from harbor freight was the beas bang for the buck. It was even more accurate than snap on.
@@russellullyatt1153 I bought one of the cheap 12v tire pumps and the gauge on it was off by 15% or so.
@@russellullyatt1153 I second the motion for tyre pressure inflators/guages.
Please keep testing tools, manufactures keep claiming stuff and we need to test those claims. 💪🏼
Great point!
I recently bought the M12 stubby. I’ve changed struts, tie rods, bearings, rotors, brakes, cv axle and ball joint. It has been successful with everything I’ve throw at it with the exception of a stuck bolt on a suspension part. One of the best car tools I’ve ever purchased. Saves so much straining with a ratchet.
Thanks for sharing.
So it’s not necessary to buy a 1/2” m18 high torque impact? I need a impact for diying car maintenance
@@Danielxperez14 I’m not a mechanic. Just a diy guy working on my own cars. I’m sure some will say more torque is better. The M12 has been enough for me.
I have this exact Ingersoll Rand impact. I love it, and it’s lasted years of being dropped and over used in high torque use settings (since as we can see, it’s not the strongest impact). I’m probably going to try a new brand when it bites the dust so these tests help.
Thanks for the feedback.
I think you should also give a Pinocchio award to the tool that didn't reach any of its claims.
That would be funny
I second this, but then he might get into hot water with some brands and then he'd have to deal with lawyers.
Thanks for the feedback.
@@urielcantarero4965 The video tape of his test would inform all lawyers of nothing here
The manufacturers probably use other methods besides PF to test those claims
Project farm - "driven to outperform, we're gonna test that!"
Milwaukee- "bring it..."
Thanks for watching!
Milwaukee are glass cannon tools. The perform well and feel good but they will break easy. Like BMWs, Range Rovers, etc.
@@TehKaiser I disagree, we use and abused milwaukee stuff at work and have had few failures. Ever used a Sawzall in muddy water? How about an impact and battery that have been sitting out in -20*f all night, or dropped an impact from 35 ft into some grass (oops), anyway, with as few failures I've seen and all the abuse we put through our tools I'm pretty confident whenever I pick up a red tool.
@@TehKaiser Milwaukee tools are tough as nails man. I work in a swing stage some times and I have NOTHING but red tools for a reason. I dropped an m18 impact (my bit broke and I basically had all my weight into it and it crushed my hand and fell) from 6 stories in the air, it smacked a sidewalk and slammed into the building. I was scared, but it was fine. The battery no longer shows how full it is, but it works. A buddy dropped a 25ft magnetic tape measure from 12 stories, landed on pavement, left a hole big enough for the table to sit into, it still works just fine. We abuse these tools, even my personal tools and not only have they impressed me, but they've made me into a purist. Until another brand makes a tool worth switching for, ill pay for red everytime.
@@TehKaiser The hell you talking about? We beat the piss out of ours installing solar panels on hot roofs. NEVER any issues.
Excellent video. I got really lucky about a year ago, and got the Dewalt you tested for $99 shipped.
For that price, I'm really happy with it.
Keep the great videos coming!
Thank you, will do! Thanks for sharing.
I have the Ridgid impact wrench. Love that thing. Any time something needs a socket, I grab it over my impact driver and adapter. Makes really short work of my 110 ft lb torqued lug nuts on my Dakota. Best $120 tool only I've spent in forever. Great test as usual.
Another commenter said once they really need to put Project Farm tested and approved stickers on packing for tools and tool accessories. I second that.
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
Best part of 2020? Finding this man's channel and reviews. 💯 😎👍🏼

Oh man, if you're new here, get binge watching. This channel is amazing
It is by far the best channel for tests. Before I buy anything I check with PF first to see if there was a test on them
Your tests are well thought out, and your reviews are unbiased. I am really grateful for your videos. You have become the gold standard for real world testing. Thank you.

I've got to know how this works out for you
@@Adamk24 To be impartial, wouldn't you need 3 identical girlfriends?
@@greendryerlint "nearly" identical
It's impressive how well Milwaukee did, all while utilizing a smaller battery than the competition.
There's a reason all my battery tools are Will-fawk-ye. Consistently top 3 in almost every comparison except price on everything I buy. Plus they just have good design - the yard tools (still waiting on a lawnmower, but I digress) with the quick-lok system just makes trimming my trees and hedges, and other yardwork a breeze, and storage is now 1/4 of the space it used to take up with gas tools, because most of the tools are just a detachable head that you swap out. My drills, impacts, circular saws, tablesaws, oscillating tools, miter saws, rotary hammer, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few all use the M18 batteries, and the 12Ah ones last me most of the day regardless of the tool I'm using. My "home tools" use the M12 batteries (along with my heated winter gear), I have the headlamp and heated gloves that use their USB rechargeable batteries, and I'm starting to look at their MX lineup as well, since I bought the powerbank "generator" and light tower that run on the MX batteries.
Of all the Milwaukee stuff I own, my only complaint is that the heated gloves are advertised as working gloves but they're light-duty at best. For over $200 I was expecting them to be way more durable than they are. Oh, and the miter saw stand's material supports are flimsier than I'd like.
Not a shill, just a tradesman who happens to love the brand.
Milwaukee and Makita usually skookum, can't go wrong. Buy once, cry once.
I agree I have the milwaukee and recently but the 4.0mah battery on it and it actually made a big different from the 2.0mah battery power, speed and of course battery life wise
But it cost the most and second heaviest
@@netsai61 heavy doesn't bother me - I work with far heavier tools. What matters to me is that I only have to carry one spare battery, or don't have to run back and forth to my charger all day long.

I’m so happy to see ridgid do so well. I’ve always loved their tools. I’ve had a set of cordless impact and drills from them since 2013 and they still operate like new. I’ve been building furniture and cabinets with them, as well as working on the road installing tubs and showers and I gotta say I’ve more than got my money back.
Great to hear!
Don’t tell Milwaukee fanboys that. They’ll tell you that Rigid tools are made with playdough and glitter and that’s their red tools were forged in the fires of mount doom.
@@narlycharley Lmfao so true lol
I think the one area where the Rigid may have been an unfair comparison in this review is that it is an 18V platform that also weighs close to a pound more than the Dewalt. Don’t get me wrong, the Ridgid for the money is a great buy! I just think it is impressive that the Dewalt was the second cheapest and also the 2nd best performing 12volt system, only to the Milwaukee costing 2x as much. For such a lightweight tiny thing, that’s where the Dewalt seemed to be a Best Buy. If weight isn’t a concern, then the Ridgid takes too honors for best bang for the buck. It seems like the Dewalt DCF890 may have been a better comparison to that Ridgid model.
All in all, though, this has still become one my absolute favorite testing channels. I have my notifications set for when every new video comes out!
I bought the Ridgid. It's pretty awesome and powerful. Love the auto setting.
Nice! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Thanks for putting RIGID in there I've had nothing but good experience with them for years. The chuck Loosens and clutch do wears out but I don't think prematurely.
I don't need one, but sure as hell I am gonna watch the whole video. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Awesome test! I can confirm the compact Milwaukee is pretty powerful, esp with the 6.0 battery, it easily fits in-between the engine & rad making quick work of whatever needs doing.. Although a drop in the bucket compared to their 600ft lb 3/8 which is my new favorite. Love your channel, keep up the great work
I'm not suprised the Milwaukee stubby did so well. I use mine daily, that thing is a power house for its size. Probably my favorite tool for how light and powerful it is.
Thanks for the feedback.

This test was awesome. Been shopping for an impact wrench for a while now. Know which one is on the top of my list now. Much thanks.

The fact that Milwaukee is 12v and beats a 18v ridged is insane
Imagine being on the ring in a supercar being passed by a hatchback. There's usually always good reason.
I didnt see the voltage in the video and i didnt think you were correct about those 12v, but after looking it up... damn.
I still think Ridgid is great value for the price, both it and Milwaukee being very compact and yet the most powerful. Pretty neat that you can stuff so much in such a small package.
@@vavra222, 4:18 M12 model is 12V. OP is correct that Milwaukee is beating a compact impact with a sub-compact....
Exactly right. I would say throw the m18 3/8 up against the rigid in this video to get a fair comparison...but it’s a sub compact category. The m18 is over 6 inches in length. So all in all, once again, a great video comparison.

Your comparisons are unmatched snd very helpful - thanks and keep up the great work 👍
Thanks, will do!
I have always used Rigid, my dad was always skeptical (we were fire alarm technicians). I recently needed some torque to loosen up some caliper bolts on my 2010 Prius (fiance's old car) and needed something compact, as there is NO space under the car. Bought the DeWalt for $100 at Lowe's, I wish I had watched this video first, but I couldn't pass up the deal considering I could only find the Milwaukee and DeWalt on the shelves in my nearby stores (and was not paying the near $400 cost for the tool, and battery/charger as no complete kits were in stock).
Your videos are always my go to when buying tools and other things, as they are the real deal, really knocking the fluff out of the box claims 👍

I have the Milwaukee. It is highly impressive. Very small and packs a huge punch. Just rebuilt my entire steering and front/rear suspension on my 96 ram 3500 dually with this tool. Takes lug nuts off easily and it's only a 12v 3/8

98 Ram 3500 Dually. Any tips man, did you end up using a breaker bar or was the Milwaukee your go to for any bolts?
Gonna order a pitman arm puller but otherwise these Impacts are what I’ve been researching to make my life a bit easier. I’m a Dewalt guy but many folks I came up working with in the maintenance shop had either Milwaukee, Mac (Which is basically Dewalt), or Snap-On.
I was literally just looking at high torque impacts saying to myself, "project farm should test these high torque impacts" (milwaukee, kobalt xtr, Rigid, Dewalt, etc. ) Great test on these subcompacts though! Hopefelly, the high torque test is soon to come. 👀
Milwaukee’s are the best Mac tools 1/2 is second best.
The Mac tools 1/2 gun is the same specs as the dewalt 3/4 inch gun but you don’t get the chemical resistant case on the dewalt and obviously it’s a 3/4 so most people would need a step down adaptor

@@alex_thecarguy Not torque sticks, just bits were tested here.
@@dc5723 I didn't say torque sticks
I just bought a ridgid 3/8, 1/2, 1 battery, and a charger all for $200 on sale at Home Depot. Normal price is $400 so I’d say I got a hell of a deal. Great comparison and just short of Milwaukee makes me happy.
I got a similar deal with their compact circular saw, drill, 2 batteries and charger. If you catch em at the right time home depot has some incredible deals at least with ridgid tools
I want the Milwaukee even more now so thanks for that. Nice job on the vod
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
Exactly as I expected. I just wrapped up my ridgid tools a few days ago to give to my step dad and bought Milwaukee ironically. Thanks for the video!
Thank you very much!
Me: sees how Milwaukee performs in these videos
Me: looks at my Ryobi collection
Ryobi: =c
Me: (pats tools) "it's ok, we barely do any tough work anyway!"
Ryobi: c=
lol Thanks for sharing.

@@ProjectFarm video idea old corded tools from 70s 80s compared to the new models today
I feel the same way when they do video reviews of ar style rifles & they pick on my PSA babies. We just watch till the bad man goes away. Lol
I have a Ryobi impact driver and it was pretty shit, says it has 270Nm of maximum torque but it struggled to remove wheel nuts torqued to 115Nm and couldn't remove my transmission drain nut when it was brand new right out of the box. It was heavy too. Just bought the M12 Milwaukee set (3/8 Fuel impact, 3/8 Fuel ratchet, tyre inflator, 2 and 4 Ah batteries and charger for AU$644) yesterday, looking forward to using it more in the future
This review ROCKS! Thank you.
You are welcome!
Great testing as always! The best
Thank you!
I just went through this decision making process a couple of months ago. Ended up with the Craftsman V20 impact wrench and that was largely because they had a deal for a free electric ratchet at Lowes. It was difficult to judge the wrench size with online photos. I have a large corded one which does great ... when I can actually get the sockets on what I am trying to get at. Great video! Keep them coming!
Thanks so much, will do.
Your seemingly unscientific common sense testing is actually very scientific without the egg head or test tubes. Your relentless pursuit for true performance comparisons is commendable, don't change your format or your principles. You have my and others respect. Happy xmas.
Thanks! Merry Christmas!
Thank you for these videos. Just found your channel about floor jacks and purchased the Daytona 3000DJ 👍🏿
