![DeWalt or Milwaukee? Which Compact Impact Wrench Reigns Supreme?! [DCF921 vs M18 2855]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/FL_jy4ouT98/mqdefault.jpg)
I bought the Bosch. I like it since it uses the same battery as my cordless drill. Maybe not killing a bolt or nut, but it does work.
Within the first 1:30 I was already laughing at the “industry standard testing”. Lol. I love project farm and now you are my go to also.
Video is very good. Not long ago, because I needed to buy a torque drilling rig of the Renhotecic brand, I used it for a while, and it felt very good to use. It is recommended that friends in need can try to prepare one.
Craig is funny as hell. I been following him for years now. Keep it up Craig!!
seriously, him and cooley and my fav's
The Ingersoll rand he showcased was the W 7152. I own the original first generation W 7150 no need to upgrade
What a show whit this guy, funny informative review, amazing job man! 😂👏
I have the DeWalt 12v and love it. I have the entire series and for the homeowner it's perfect. It's not too heavy; I have 5 AH batteries(free from a Lowes promotion) is compact and doesn't take up a huge amount of room.
Been looking for one but I don’t use it heavily. More for removing car lug nuts, basic maintenance work. Any issue with 12v?
@@Oneklickmedia I was working on a lawnmower and I couldn't get the 3/8 to get the blade off but the 1/2 had the power. I want to say the 1/2" has 450 ft-lbs of breakaway torque so plenty for any lug nut that was torqued down unless you've got a 911 GT3 or they were put on with an impact and hammered on.
Just realized this guy is recording under a lifted car. Such a dope background! +1
That DeWalt 20v TP gag is no joke. I have one and the direction switch is mis positioned too close to the trigger finger making it all to easy to accidentally hit reverse. Also, the battery sometimes rattles itself off. Still, it gets the job done.
I've been running DeWalt drivers for 20 years. The Milwaukee is absolutely better in most ways but DeWalt is durable, reliable and strong enough to get the job done. It's also good for guys like me who have a million DeWalt batteries laying around. I also like Ridgid impacts
I was trying to find a battery impact to keep in my car, hopefully I could get one of these.
How did you measure the actual torque delivered?
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing! 🎥🎸
I really Enjoyed this!
Learn to spell
That milwaukee is a mid torque model. Milwaukee makes a full size 1/2" impact that's freaking insane
Link?
Thanks for not taking yourself too serious. :)
Thanks!
fun but useful information !!
If it can do lug nuts axle buts and nuts and bolts that are hard like them I might get me one been needing one that can do axle and lug nuts
Just got the m18 today had the m12 stubby but decided to upgrade the m12 is a beast but not like the m18
The actual torque differs greatly from the box. Milwaukee is absolutely the best, but that in mind it's still about 100 ft lb short on fastening torque. The channel that tests this sort of torque is called "torque test channel"
Milwaukee is not the best
@@John-rambo84 no your wrong
@@CraigularjJoeWoodworks Milwaukee is junk. The 2 I had didn’t even last a month. Battery problems and one wouldn’t even work. So as far as I’m
Concerned they are junk
@@John-rambo84 post a video of the issue and how you are using them. Otherwise your post aint helping nobody...
@@John-rambo84 what do u use now
Your very funny! Really enjoyed your work!
Was trynna find something comparable to the Ingersol at a better price point.
I gotta break lug nuts all day
this is super underated
Very GOOD..DELIVERY...👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
love how you used Milwaukee's 1/2 inch mid torque and compared it to DeWalt's 1/2 inch high torque, why didn't you compare the Milwaukee high torque to DeWalt's high torque.
Quality is amazing
I have a Milwaukee 3/4 impact and is a beast.....
Which one do you have exactly
Bet. I have a Milwaukee 1/4 and 1/2. Powerful little bastards
How mutch
You missed the high torque Milwaukee and the Milwaukee M12 stubby (I think you got it and the M18 Compact confused there).
What about the new ryobi that mow the wrench?
The ATG Gold 5K can do more than those mentioned.
* Tribrid tools, i think it's the world's first
* 700nm
* jump start vehicle
* charges cellphone, tablet & more
You missed a lot of Big Box Store brands like Rigid's 1300/900 ft lbs on their 4 mode 1/2 drive impact. Rigid is nice because they have a lifetime warranty on their products AND their batteries.
I was shopping for an air impact at Home Depot, and wasn't satisfied with the selection so I got the 1/2" Dewalt cordless.
Holy Schmoly. I did good. I paid too much, though. I should have gone with Ryobi from the start. It's almost as good and cost much less.
I'm still waiting to see the best ones
The big DeWalt one shouldn't be compared to the others seeing as its a high torque impact wrench
What no Rigid??
Very entertaining....need a TV show
I love this video
Great video, I wish Milwaukee had something to compete with the Dewalt X-R. We use the dewalt at work when our air 3/4 impact fails and it works great.
They do, they have a 1/2” 18v impact rated at 1400 lb breakaway torque.
Milwaukee makes the strongest electric impact in existence
I just got my makita xwt17z why no makita in here
Milwaukee is what I use and abuse at work every day and it's insanely tough
Have you tried the m12 fuel stubby
Have it not worth it. It’s ok for tight spaces but not replacement for a real gun
@@Isaac862 i agree with u had that stubby for bout a year. then Started to fall apart. Finally started shutting down wen heald sideways removing
Bolts. Threw it in the junk bucket.
m12 fuel holding an 18?
I have Milwaukee 2860 Rated At 450Ft LbTorque Only Had it Less than 4Years Of Sparring Use and Yesterday It Couldn't Remove a Pesky Exhaust Bolt, Even After Fully Charging It. Very Disappointed To Say the Least.
What about the Ridgid
Hey roadshow, project farm already did this.
We’re definitely going to test that!
And just because one person already did the review means its right? Calm down lo
Did my boi say heavy cream!?!?!
Why not throw in Mac Matco or Snap?
Because they’re overpriced and not much better than the best listed here
Never mentioned the Earthquake...
good review
Great Video! thanks
You had my upvote at the toilet paper lmao!!!
Dewalt or Milwaukee?
Lmfaoo I just started a job building tractors that’s why I searched
Well I know the new tools are faster but I’m old fashion ! I’ll stay with the old fashion way. Raw muscle ! And at the same time save a buck
Na. Brushless are beasts.
That’s fine if you don’t do it for a living lol
I thought the same thing but I’m trying to save time and work less now
For occasional diy I actually think corded impacts are underrated option. Not perfect but cheap* and no worries about electronics or bad batteries.
Lol I'm looking at all the brands of impact wrenches on the table. I would only buy one of those. The China one. Because the other brands make you sponsor a CZcamsr unwittingly for buying a new tool. That's why Milwaukee is $500. You buy two tools, but one is secretly given away to a random CZcamsr
Did Cooley sign off on this???
Milwaukee battery stick to far out the front
DeWalt is double the Milwaukee??? Not sure that’s true. Milwaukee is 1400/1600. DeWalt is 1200
Also wanted to mention that Milwaukee is an m18 not m12!
The 2962 is Mid Torque, not high torque.
I noticed you didn't review any RIDGID tools in this video. Have you any videos with any reviews of RIDGID?
What about Ryobi?
I wouldn't invest in ryobi if your business relies on it. They're made to be affordable and for home uses.
Plenty of professionals use Ryobi and do well with them.
@@homelee665 not for long. Ryobi are, often, unreliable. I've seen the ryobi impact stop working... thats not what I consider doing well
@@WillElMagnifico yup
Are you kidding me? They chose Dewalt as the 1/2 inch runner up? And why? It’s a pound heavier. Try hitting the gym, Urkel! They want more lights? Or better light placement? I bet if they shoved it up their Hershey highway there’d be plenty of light to spotlight Mr. Peanut. When you’re working in a shop you need all the torque you can get, so what if the light is poorly placed (subject to opinion) and it’s a little heavier (for you 98ibs. weaklings) ITS GOT TWICE THE BREAKAWAY TORQUE! And 3 speed settings for every application. In case you can’t tell I own one AND have used the Milwaukee and there’s no comparison. Except the price. I purchased my Dewalt at a few dollars below $200. If you want Milwaukee’s new heavy hitter (not the one reviewed but it’s badass bro) sporting 1400 ft lbs. of breakaway torque (200 more than Dewalt’s) you’re looking at around $400 big ones. So, $200 more for 200 more torques. While more torque is handy (the reason why I can’t believe Milwaukee edged out Dewalt) is it really worth it? BTW, noticed they’re using a 4 amp/hr battery instead of a 5 or 6. Much better results with a more powerful battery (obviously, and don’t get me started on the flexvolt 20v/60v 9amp batteries. They’re killer…)
Where is kobalt??
so how do you set these wrenches to a specific number when tightening lug nuts? like my vehicle requires nuts to be tightened at 140 lb ft or 190 NM, so how do i set the wrench to this setting to avoid under or over tightening?
You don’t. You either torque with a torque wrench or you get a feel for what is tight with the gun but you’ll not know if you’ve tightened to 100 or 300 ftlbs without checking with a torque wrench
Huge missed opportunity to put Cooley as a video host 😓😓
Best reviewer on CZcams !!
Nope. Not by a long shot.
This looked interesting and the host is a hoot but....at the end of the day...merely ranking tools off the often rigged Amazon ranking system is pathetic. However, yes...it is a brilliant way to collect $$$ as people click on the links provided.
WHERE'S THE FLEX???
Stop using the Freak in place of Boschs’ mid and high torque wrenches... especially the pro factor bi turbo, that thing beats up a lot of other pro level wrenches.
this guy reminds me of Talk Soup
I'm going back to project farm whose coming with me
He is funny, very informative
Far from being funny.
I'd pit my Bauer 1/2 hi torque impact against anything out there. That's right,it's a harbor freight impact.
9:11
Test the same high output rattle guns then you might have a better video lol
No more "Run Away Nuts"
hey that's what she said....thinks..
No proper impact test is complete without a Makita DTW1002..
Sounds like all these brands are Amazing. And not one was bad. I am sure all these companies sponsor you, making you lots of money. Milwaukee giving you the most.
Where's the RIDGID
Aisle 9. Power tools.
A middle of the road brand like that probably wouldn't standout enough from the pack to mention.
@@WillElMagnifico 😂
No testing shown ill be going elsewhere for my reviews
Bro this isn't a far comparison bc you got compact,mid torque and high torque.
Top pro model is snap on IMO.
big bucks though
That milwauke is a mid torque it's high torque is 1400 ft/lbs
CNET has no business reviewing tools
hm????
He shouldn’t be under the car doing his display but at least it didn’t collapse but great video overall
His cylinders might have a safety burst disk or safety pins, in the event of a failure will not allow the load to fall.
I love my Ridgid 1/2 $125 on
For God's sake people. You really think they performed any "industry standard" tests? They red the spec on the BOX, looked up AMAZON STAR ratings and what? Rated how they FEEL?
Jesus, if you people are going to CNET for TOOL testing you deserve what you get.
Only Brian Cooley can do car reviews, DIY type videos and videos like this. I think they are gearing up replacing Cooley with Craig Cole.
As much as I like seeing Cooley doing random DIY videos I miss the viewer mail videos.
Stick to the car reviews lol

@@Andrew-zv4fm I hope not and I'm surprised as old as this channel it doesn't have that many subscribers
no
Why you say that you don’t agree with his favorite?
Ingersol Rands customer service here in the UK is pants so will never buy an IR tool!
notthing beter than millwakee its smaller and stronger but price is high
"if you want the specs go to our website"
Why would I do that? Why wouldn't I go to the manufacturers website... Since you didn't put them in your video where you were supposed to talk about the differences between all of them. 🙄
Milwaukee is a good tool but over rated… durofix is very underrated (not on the list) and it’s half the size with 369ftlbs Tightening torque and 590ftlbs of “nut busting” and it’s on Amazon for $180 with the battery and charger and 2 year warranty . idk about any of you but I don’t have anything on my car, truck or motorcycle or even at work (construction) that even comes close to either of those TQ numbers. So If you aren’t an actual Diesel mechanic or work with heavy steel buildings or steel framing I don’t see the need for a Dewalt or Milwaukee. I rather just get a durofix it’s not as well known but it’s a lot cheaper and if you need to replace it, it’s half the price. Just my opinion and felt like everyone should know about that durofix tool line .
Which durofix you have?
Durofix has 3 stars and only a couple of reviews.
Aweful
so , which one is the best? which one is cheapest? which one gives most torque?? what was the purpose of this viseo??? GARBAGE
Earthquake beats all these! Bad review!
Dude has no idea what he's doing lmao man is comparing completely different tools smh
This is a terrrrrrible video. If you dont know anything about these things, DO NOT WATCH… you are better off knowing nothing than this nonsense… Comparing low torques to mid torques and high torques… and even a 12v??? is almost like comparing 4 different tools, which is better?…. Its like the just grabbed a small and VERY random selection.
…and your favorite dewalt 3/8 one is their oldest and lowest end model… and brushed?!
…and geez, that Mikita might be the worse one on the list and its your fav?
When you start, you started with the Milwaukee mid-torque model… then the dewalt high-torque and say “this one is sooo much heavier” well, duh, it has to be to be in the high-torque class… why didnt you compare the Milwaukee mid-torque the the dewalt mid-torque? None of this makes any sense…. Sorry, but not sorry. Lol.
Should have just did a comparison of all the mid torque’s if this is for DIYers as stated.
And dude, the place where you put the battery on the tool is not a “charger” lmafo
And. Not a “chuck”, but an “anvil”
.. and the Bosch Freak has a design flaw. If you want to get full power out of it you need to sick a broken off 1/4” bit before putting the socket on. Torque Test Channel did a whole experiment with it… “smooth” would not be a word I would use to describe it.
Pretty sure snap on 3/4 inch lug removal impact beats any of these guns. Just saying
Snap on is overkill for home garage though.
