"This thing doesn't seem to give a shit about anything!"
Laughed my ass off as you tried drowning it in the tank
I want to see them leave it submerged and running.
😂😂😂😂😂
That’s why I buy Milwaukee
Everyone's on their lunch break right now huh? Love the new series.
Nope it’s 5pm here so I’ve just knocked off
Lol yes sir. Sitting outside in my truck now lol.
Eating soup with the kiddo
Yep sitting in line at Tubby's
You know it! Haha
That slow mo water test for the Milwaukee was honestly badass. Milwaukee needs that for their advertisement 😂
I'm surprised Milwaukee didn't jump on the chance to sponsor future stuff. 😂
@@NarwahlGaming or maybe they sponsored this video already
I’m an Irrigation Technician and I can confirm, when you are 25ft above the ground and need your hands to climb down in a rainstorm, that Milwaukee will still work
Lmao they def don't wanna give the impression it's fine if you dunk it in water. That would cause a ton of dead wrenches.
They just don’t cause it would cause them to die a lot faster and then they’d likely have to deal with warranty shut cause people were dunking their impacts into the water
As a huge Harbor Freight fan it makes me happy that Bauer kept up and although it gave out in the end, it was still able to perform up to 275pounds max. As a budget impact i think i made the right choice, now when its time for me to purchase a solid impact... Milwakee is on my priority list. The way it ejected water and continued to work while submerged into a tank of water was insane. That definitely caught us all by surprise!
If you are just using it around the house or on projects bauer is great but if you use it hard everyday you would want to spend more money that said I love Bauer
Jobe and jezzer having their own show together is awesome, can't wait for more episodes
is that gt40 yours?
Where Nolan and James are more like the fun guys, Jobe and Jerry are the skills-powerhouse. Thumbs up for that!
lol for a second I was so confused at why they were together
@@DinoJagger yes.
@@steezzyyo u seem love Ford GT40 huh?
Man, I’ve seen a Milwaukee survive a 95 foot drop in my line of work and still fire up, I knew it would crush that overpriced snap on. That harbor freight one surprised me too though, not bad until it overheated lol!
i use to have craftsmans v20 set untill it did the same thing now all i got is milwaukee
I was at work a few weeks ago and one of the roofers dropped there m18 fuel impact driver off the roof and it fired right up. That one was probably only 40ft.
I honestly think that's a good feature to have in your impact. Cause most folks that work on cars have one or 2 impacts they can use
Same, but the overheating issue probably wouldn't be an issue for someone who isn't doing lag bolts all day. And if that's the case go up to the half inch?
I throw my dewalt off roofs all the time. The only thing it dont handle well is rain, it slows down and weakens, but once dry, its spinnin. My Milwaukee, RIP i lost it in a fire, it held up against anything and everything
As somebody gearing up to buy his first entire set of mechanics tools, thank you for this series. It’s saving me a ton of money and letting me not feel like I’m making the wrong choice by getting the cheaper tool to save some cash!
I've always heard snap on for hand tools and Milwaukee for electric
Your comment was a while ago so you’ve probably found them already but Torque Test Channel is the absolute best resource for tool comparisons.
as being from Milwaukee myself, i am internally cheering so heavily right now
yeah too bad Milwaukee got bought out a long time ago, TTI makes Milwaukee in Vietnam
@@richardbaumgart2454 if the quality is still there who gives a damn
@@richardbaumgart2454 most of it yea but there's still manufacturing all over the 414 area
@@TacticalHemorrhoid Good to know at least something is still made here, I'm curious of what they make there. I'm thinking old school heavy duty stuff like mag drills.
As a Milwaukeean proud of Milwaukee, I concur.
We need more of Zac and Jeremiah duo. These guys are funny and awesome together!
Agreed. I was pumped as soon as I saw they were doing an episode together.
Yep great pair! And great video!
They need a better camera man, all that shaking sucks.

For the longest time I thought these two men were the same person, now that I've seen them in the same video I can die peacefully knowing they are two different people
I saw them on a live at the same time :’)
@@shadowolf4085 You lucky bstrd, I envy you
WAIT, they also started the video with Jeremiah being a lot taller than Zach, but in the end they look the same height, WHAT IS GOING ON, IS THE MULTIVERSE CONFIRMED?!
I've never related to a comment so much.
Im just glad I wasnt the only one. donut media just gets better and better.
Milwaukee is the Kalashnikov of power tools
I'mma one-up that comment.
Milwaukee is the Toyota Hilux of power tools
@@kodybrooks2655Milwaukee’s that one girl you might get some crap for bringin her home but always have a good time and cant get enough of
They ought to do these tests with brands that compete more directly, would love to see a Milwaukee vs Makita vs DeWalt
Project farm does that.
Torque test channel specializes in that. Not dissing project farm, but they tend to be more of a generalist. Either way, it's still a good point of comparison.
same result
@@evannewman3997 TTC convinced me to buy the dcf900, big ol' beast that outputs like 1100Nm lol.
Based off all the Milwaukee chargers in the back of the shop, I can see what they actually use in the real world lol
As someone who used to be a heavy-duty mech, I can say the Milwaukie impacts and drills refuse to die. Ive watched them get ran over by logging trucks and come out laughing
Everyone uses Milwaukee. Snap on is a joke
@@Jonah.the.moist.noodle mine is starting to die, but it just needs the brushes replaced. Its a brushed model.
@@SHUTDOORproduction not everyone, some mechanic still swear by snap on. That's the only reason they're still alive. The contract those mechanics have with snap on.
@@UnfiItered i've gotta imagine most of those people that still swear by Snap-On are still using their 30 y/o Snap-On tools that they got back when Snap-On made good products.
Exactly what I expected tbh. Snap On makes some good hand tools, but Milwaukee's power tool game, especially their M18 series, is unreal. I'd love to see another test comparing them and other mid range brands like DeWalt, Makita, etc
Bosch as well
I wonder how ryobi would compare, we've had pretty good luck with all of their products
@@collinlaque964 I've heard they're built in the same factory as Milwaukee (idk if that's true) so that'd be really interesting to see
I agree completely. I'm a tech and a lot of my hand tools are snap on cause of the lifetime warranty and convenience of the truck coming to me and replacing them but the power tools don't offer the same warranty. I think it's only like 2 years and they don't even perform as well as my Milwaukee or Mac tools stuff.
In my experience, snap on is literally never worth it. Weaker, proprietary batteries, the batteries suck. I can keep going lol.
Ive worked with union guys who poured water into the exhaust port of the m12 impact/drills when they overheat. I laughed at him, until it started working flawlessly again. That's when I started buying Milwaukee tools.
I live in Milwaukee and have family members with the corporate discount.
My Milwaukee tools are cheaper than harbor freight lol.
I'm all about price and efficiency, for me, Milwaukee takes the cake. Only because of the discount though.
Milwaukee tools takes REALLY good care of Milwaukee residents.
They give back A LOT, excellent customer service, returns aren't a problem
Kudos to you Milwaukee Tools for going the extra Mile in our town.
You've earned my loyalty because of it.
I’ve literally always been truly impressed with every Milwaukee tool I’ve ever owned.
Same here. I haven’t had one die yet.
Okay, if this is gonna be a series, I already know imma watch every single video they put out
Hi David Brambilla.
This confirms my suspicion that Snap On tools are WAAAAY overpriced.
I've spent 4 years in diesel shops and pretty much anyone who had snapon electric tools ended up ditching them for milwaukee. I had a snapon impact for about a year and everything in the kit failed other than 1 of the batteries. Ended up costing close to a grand to buy and maintain. The only nice thing about snapon is that the tools come to you, that's it.
Snap on hand tools are awesome. Electric not so much. The 14.4 volt 3/8s is pretty nice but all their other electric tools suck💀
@@HughMongasWhat Snap doesnt have their tools made in USA any more. Some of their stuff is, but most of it is from china now
@@colecooper5836 snapon is only worth it for hand tools because of the lifetime warranty
@@HughMongasWhat snap on electric tools are all made in China except the electric ratchets. All their hand tools are made in USA
Since losing motor trend on CZcams, donut is all I need and want. You have grown so much and I really appreciate you for being different than most who just copy what all other CZcamsrs do
I came here because I just changed the wheels of my car. Did it outside the garage under quite rainy conditions. I used a Milwaukee M18 Fuel impact. I placed that thing under shelter as soon I switched to the torque wrench or moved a wheel. I thought it is not waterproofed and I better be careful with the impact driver not beeing exposed to rain.
Now I cross checked my assumption with this wonderful video test. Conclusion: I was anxious without any reason. Given this hard facts I will use the Milwaukee M18 impact with less precaution regarding wet conditions next time. I feel comfortable and happy to have such a high quality tool.
i like how they are using the stubby low torque version of the Milwaukee and it still matched the Snap on. i want to see the full sized Milwaukee in the same tests.
Vs DeWalt and Flex.
The Milwaukee they used is the new gen mid torque. All these seem to be mid torque wrenches. The stubby low torques are still m12
@@matthewalbright6108 no the Milwaukee mid torque is a 600 ft lb torque impact that is a 3/8 stubby and still crushed snap on in every way
Thats not real stubby. Real stubby is the M12 system. The one they used is the M18 version of 'stubby'. Both version have the same specs.
Snap-on is well known to be just overpriced brand rather than quality. DeWalt has never let me down, my dad or his dad who was a machinist. Pretty much every power tool is DeWalt, with the nice big batteries
Another important aspect of this test is the length of the tool. The milwaukee is REALLY compact compared to the HF and Snap-on. Being able to fit the tool in a tight spot can often be the difference between being able to get a nut or bolt with the gun, or having to get out a wrench.
Yeah they didn’t mention that!
Fr my m12 stubby can get anywhere i can get my fist, i barely use my wrench outside of really tight interior spots like under certain seats
I have that Milwaukee. I love it but in all honesty the stub nose is garbage. You can get in a tight spot if if there’s any sort of edge the long nose is nice to be able to “get on the nut” know what I’m saying?
I have the high torque 1/2” and it’s a beast. Both the 3/8” and 1/2” outperform the snap on and even Mac tools (which are rebranded dewalt)
That's honestly one thing I was about to mention in the comments till I saw your video because the stubby ones usually have less breakaway torque then normal nose ones due to the compact design. Plus snap on makes stubby impacts and vice versa for Milwaukee.
Luckily Milwaukee has a longer head mid torque!
Tool party provides so much good info!! Thanks you two!!
That Milwaukee drill is definitely a quality power tool. I've always trusted the brand, but this just proved their worth even more for me.
I think the HF and Milwaukee deserve a spot in my tool box for different purposes. The HF can be a good impact to keep in your car for travelling like overlanding and roadtrips or for project car work. The Milwaukee can be used professionally for industrial work. The Snapon is just too expensive to justify for any use when the Milwaukee does a way better job and is more durable for less the cost.
Idk imo the cost of the HF (especially with the earthquake line) recently gets awfully close to a milwaukee without the warranty or battery quality
The m12 Stubby from Milwaukee is smaller and lighter than the M18 stubby just about as powerful (especially with the 6amp battery). It’s perfect for what your talking about and was recently on sale with a 3.0 battery for $150. I use mine in the garage as well as it comes with us in our camper.
Thats smart I might get an HF just to keep in my car, I never keep my milwaukee tools in my car in case it gets broken into It won't as much of a loss.
Snap on used to be really good. That's all I used. But then Milwaukee starting making great tools, so I haven't used snap on since.
I know where the HF deserves a spot...
As a professional technician, I switched all of my electric tools from snap on to milwaukee, and I don't regret it one bit.
If she ain’t red she stays in the shed lol
I hear this all the time now. I swear by my Milwaukees even though I'm not a tech anymore. You can't beat that warranty and price.
Don't snap-on tools all have a lifetime warranty?
@@jaroodthefab5669 not their power tools, and pretty sure no warranty on batteries. In the power tool world they're years behind the competition in quality
Milwaukee makes a great tool. As an electrician, I go for Makita. On account of better trigger control at lower speeds. Whatever floats your boat
Just got the M12 3/8 stubby ratchet and the thing is pretty impressive does a great job for me
Is the one in the video 3/8" or 1/2" because I'm trying to get one
@@brznibba1108 pretty sure the one in the video is 3/8
@@brznibba1108 the one in the video is the m18 18 volt. The above comment is for the m12 12 volt. I've heard the 12 volt is pretty decent. Bit obviously the 18 volt is better
I know brand loyalty is stupid most of the time, but I really am a Milwaukee fan. Been running em for years and never had an issue. I definitely abuse my shit too. I have probably 15 Milwaukee m18 tools and they all preform better than I expected.
All my tools are Makita and I never even heard of Milwaukee untill Techtronic Industries bought it and got serious with the lithium-ion tech. It does seem like a solid brand, I do own 1 Milwaukee tool (corded) and its a decent one. I think it's funny how brand-1 fanboys always trash brand-2 and vice versa lol, like they have shares in the company or something. My buddy does have a lot of Milwaukee and he seems very content with the brand as well. In the end I think it's good these companies compete, keeps them on their toes. Funny fact, Ryobi is also owned by Techtronic Industries.
If this is gonna be a new series im all for it
Go watch project farm on CZcams. This video was such a waste of time. They seem to be focusing on making more trash content and less good content like money pit
@@givemefreespeechyoutubehitlers project farm is awesome, he does some good indepth comparisons. I always look forward to Sundays when he uploads a new video
@@givemefreespeechyoutubehitlers i like project farm but i think these guys can do it too. They have a whole team to support off a CZcams channel and merch, probably don’t have the time or money to constantly be throwing into another project
Love Milwaukee. As a professional mechanic its all I use for power tools. I would love to see a wrench set put to the test next. Those snap on wrenches are about 50 dollars a piece.
Snap On vs Icon
They even kinda cheated Milwaukee too. that's the stubby 3/8. the rest were full size. the full size 3/8 Milwaukee is rated for something like 500lbs nut-busting
If you want to test wrenches try a Proto.
@@mr.2trucks485 650 and I’ve got one they’re awesome
@@mr.2trucks485 same thing I said but I’ve seen project farm use a 12v Milwaukee vs an 18v snap on and still win
I have the Bauer and for me just doing backyard mechanics work I’m extremely impressed with it. I have a lot of their lineup of tools and they’re great. That being said I don’t use them daily and if I did I think the Milwaukee is the clear choice!
Im not surprised at all. The first time i got the opportunity to test Milwaukee, it just blown my mind. Directly when you hold the Milwaukee, you really can feel that it's just pure quality. We have the M18 series at work but i don't need that performance so using the M12 series at home and boy, it's perfect. Love the smaller size. Then we have the huge amount of different Milwaukee tools that all using the same battery. Have been trying both DeWalt, Makita, AEG, Ryobi and Hikoki. They work but it not the same quality and stability that Milwaukee provides 👍
My boss always makes fun of my Milwaukee tools and after watching this i am once again confident about my tool decision lol
He’s just butthurt because he took out a second mortgage just to pay for his snap on tools 🤣
My plant engineer uses Milwaukee!
Same, a lot of people call them overpriced but from what I've seen you get what you pay for.
What do they use?
Milwaukee is the way to go. Top dog to beat right now

@@bendgeddes yea dude is a legend.
Torque wrenches would be great for the next series. I'm always debating if its worth it to buy a very high end wrench or if the harbor freight ones do just fine.
The newer icon and Quinn Torque wrenches are pretty awesome. Even the cheap Pittsburgh aren't horrible, I'd use em for torquing wheels down don't know about an engine build tho.
look up the channel project farm, they recently tested a bunch
@@rickymackie2340 I always look to see if Project Farm has a video on a tool I need before I go out and get it. Probably the best head to head comparisons out there

How can I not find another impact wrench test on CZcams as good as this one? Great video!
The most awesome outcome I have seen in a while. I am super impressed with the rugged nature of that Milwaukee impact. Also just good to see both of these guys on videos together! They have some of my favorite segments on this channel.
Milwaukees are really awesome
I love seeing Jerry and Zach back together!
Jobe and Jerry together is a power move! It’s like having Nolan and James together in a video guaranteed laughter 🤣
I like these tool videos from donut because this info can be applied to more than just cars
Snap on tools never fail to disappoint
It's honestly wild that the Milwaukee is THAT durable. I seen a video one time of a guy whose garage had burned down, but his milwaukee cordless ratchet was still sitting on a counter left standing and all melted and it still worked. Milwaukee is the shit
I believe it was the M12 ratchet, half of the handle was melted but it still worked just fine
@@jakemiller3026 yeah that was the one. Dudes garage was toast but the Milwaukee still worked lol. Least he didn't have to replace that too 😆
@@joshc9846 he can use his Milwaukee to rebuild his garage
Is that video on CZcams?
Lol this last week I had my Milwaukee m18 impact driver on my welding table and accidentally bumped it while grabbing something and was having a huge adhd issue and left my wire feed on and for some reason had the driver on top of the feed cable next to the trigger. Can you guess what happened, if you guessed that the driver depressed the trigger on the stupidly left on wire feed you would be correct lol well it was sitting arcing the side of the driver and the table for idk 1-2 seconds I was actually recording so I am going to upload it when I can find where it was. Anyways it was fine aside from a nasty burn on the shell lol. All of my tools are m18 fuel items aside from a little 12in 20v Dewalt chainsaw I use to clear smaller trees and limb trees with and my 16in compound sliding miter saw also Dewalt oh and my dad's old Dewalt 1/2in corded impact wrench and corded grinder my mom gave me. I would have gotten the m18 cordless miter saw but I got the Dewalt from a client who bought it to try making things but he couldn't get the plate and blade zeroed so he gave it to me for replacing his decking boards for him I told him it would probably only be 2 or 3 hours of work and he didn't mind because he bought it for replacing them anyways best 3 hours of work ever.
Project farm does a good job doing extremely comprehensive reviews of all tools great channel
Was looking for this comment! Project Farm is where its at!!
I adore project farm but go Look at torque test channel!!
@Ben C he doesn't work for Amazon. He uses Amazon affiliate links. Those are completely different things. Idk if you're deliberately spreading misinformation or just misinformed
@Ben CI invite you, tell me which video he said that in. Patiently awaiting your reply.
@Ben C who knew Bosch, Milwaukee, Ryobi, were all "Amazon Products" crazy, huh
As a hobbyist/ handyman just doing work around my house, my ryobi tools have done me well.
If I was doing it for a living though, Milwaukee hands down
As someone who works in heavy duty repairs, Milwaukees are always being replaced, snap-ons barely ever need to be repaired or replaced. There was one Milwaukee drill dropped today under 3 feet and it completed died.
I'm a Milwaukee fan and I'm so happy for the results. Much respect for you guys torturing these tools for use. I would never do such things to my tools.
Saammmeeeee
As a craftsman simp, nothing is better than Milwaukee power tools
Same here, all the power tools I use on my whip are Milwaukee
i’m so happy Jerry and Jobe got a show! looking forward to this series
Meanwhile I thought they were the same person
As a heavy duty mechanic I'd love to see some heavy duty tools! Like impact sockets, chain wrenches, pry bars, Punches, multimeters, etc
Thak Big M is like the AK Of cordless impacts! SOLD ME on it! You guys are the BEST!
If this doesn’t sell you on a Milwaukee impact, I don’t know what will haha
Im buying it fosho
We use them at work as a pipefitter all day. We got one on the job brand new some moron left it outside the case filled water and the tool was frozen solid. Thawed it out and it takes old flanges apart like they weren't even there. That sold me on getting one for the house
And this is the old model, new one is even better
@@DuBstep115 looks like I found my next upgrade for my tool box!
Hands down best power tools for mechanics not sure the rest of their line up but the impacts are perfect.. I mean they own the patent to a 18 volt lithium ion battery pack that's why DeWalt and everyone is going to 20V
These two have the best on screen chemistry. More shows with these two as hosts please.
I used to clean the transmission fluid out of my 1/4 inch Milwaukee by dunking it in brake clean. That was 5 years ago and I still use it to this day. Love Milwaukee Tools!!
We use the Milwaukee impacts at the rock quarry where I work and they get abused a ton. The one fatal flaw they've all eventually fell to is the piece where the contacts connect with the battery becomes loose. The tool will still work so long as you hold the battery in place, but it's a pain in the rear.
That seems like something some epoxy resin, or just a glued in filler material would easily solve for you.
Loved that test! Let’s see some different brands like DeWalt and Makita or maybe some 1/2 inch impact tests!!! Love the content guys!
Milwaukee would still win. 🔥
There is a yt channel that specializes in comparing imapct guns. It's called torque test channel. And yes, Milwaukee would still win (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

We use Milwaukee for my plumbing shop, and sometimes when you cut a pipe or work somewhere that’s got a leak and is full of water, you really do need your tools to perform when they’re wet or taking abuse. Milwaukee has held up every time. I’m continually impressed by how the just don’t give a shit about anything but continuing to work
Last month my milwaukee impact 1/4 fuel felt out of my pocket outside. Landed on the side in a pound, a bit more than half submerged.
Only noticed it 15-30 seconds after (dont really know exactly)
It survived.
Thanks for the good products Milwaukee !
Gotta try one of the snap on 3/8 12v impacts with the rocker trigger by far my favorite tool I own.
Someone who does EXCELLENT tests on products is Project Farm. Highly recommend him. Great video guys!!!
While I enjoy Project Farm, I like Torque Test Channel even better. They're more specialized, which helps them be better at what they do. The team there have a ton of experience with impact tools, as well as some pretty amazing test equipment. It's absolutely worth watching.
Shop Tool Reviews is another great channel. They test and discuss a wider variety of tools than Torque Test Channel, and using different (also valuable and valid) methods. They test the breakaway torque capability of impact wrenches and drivers using a series of already torqued nuts, as shown in this video.
They were definitely "inspired".
they watched one video of his and here we r
@@Joel_E I'll have to check him out- thank you!
This is what was missing, Hi-Low(but tools, and other random stuff)
I have been super happy with my Bauer and Hercules tools. My Hercules impact puts out 1400 pound feet of removing torque and 1000 pound feet of fastening. I have broke too many bolts to count with that thing. I tested the break away torque and it tested at 1430 pound feet or torque. It was a $200 impact with a $120 12ah battery, but for $320 total I'm really happy! The same company that makes Milwaukee also makes Bauer and Hercules.
thanks for making a tools video it helps a lot
No way Jerimiah didn't need several takes to say the line "you're gonna need to bust some nuts" without laughing after
I've always been a fan of Milwaukee's power tools, especially for working on motorcycles and cars. This just proves that the big red M is a beast!
It used to be blue, i miss those days of the white text and teal/blue
Not a big equipment/tools guy, but I worked in solar farms where you put equipment to the test and the only one we used it’s a Milwaukee you can’t go wrong honestly respect! I’m talking about all day long tightening bolts to the max potential Milwaukee is the way!
12:00 the pond test is so wicked and mind blowing and exciting !
Team Milwaukee all the way. The make the best impacts hands down. Definitely worth the money
100% Agree i also have a milwaukee extended electric ratchet and it does an awesome job.
The best line of cordless without a doubt
Im personally a fan of Rigid. Great prices, and they were some of the first to include lifetime warranties on their tools
@@ChrisPBacon-gn9jx Ridgid is also owned by TTI, the parent company that also owns Milwaukee and Ryobi. They are a solid choice, but some of their cordless tools are definitely built according to the lower price.
Being able to drive into town and exchange it if it breaks or whatever. This and a small jump box or two of the best things you can buy..Not only just for yourself.Being able to help people jump their vechile or change a tire in a few mins.
i never thought i would enjoy grown men waterboarding a tool as much as i did. that was absolutely hilarious guys.
Tea Bagged it
A couple of work colleagues have snap on battery tools, I just couldn’t spend the £800 on an impact gun so I went for the Milwaukee still not cheap at £550 but once I got it others started to change to Milwaukee, I now own approx 10 different battery tools from impacts to drills to grinders and been very happy with them, only thing now we have to mark all our battery’s so we don’t get them mixed up
That is so surprisingly impressive! I had no idea Milwaukee tools were so good, I'm sold. Hope somebody sponsored this episode
Milwaukee has had the best power tools for the better part of 6 ish years now.
Milwaukee actually did go to crap for awhile but have been making huge improvements to the quality of their tools in the last 10 years. That said, anything can have problems or get worn out and broken.
id persoanlly go with makita, but ive never had an issue with milwaukee and theyre a bit easier to find
Every shop uses Milwaukee nowadays they are just out doing everyone with there tech and new tools
Their Fuel series are some of the best tools tested. There are so many comparison videos with other brands for the same or more money and Milwaukee seems to always take the cake.
I never knew I needed a series like this, lovin the content, donut!
Look up Project farmer.
@@fncrazy101 yeah this, seems like donut running out of the ideas.
@@fncrazy101 I thought the exact same thing someone at Donut Media saw Project Farm and thought ''we can do that too but more fun :P'' but less professional test results imo like the water test, in the end, makes no sense because who is gonna use an electric tool in a heavy downpour....
Graphics on this channel is the best on CZcams. So good for understanding what is going on.
Just snagged one of these and I’m not at all surprised by this video, the Milwaukee compact is by far the best impact I’ve ever owned
I had no idea that Milwaukee impact can just clear out water like that. That is INSANELY impressive.
@@OliverGS-ib8dk I'm pretty sure the design wasn't for water but to extract the hot air from the motor. That's just a secondary feature.
def would take it apart and re grease it after this lol
@@OliverGS-ib8dk It is because the milwuakee impact has a brushless motor make it bascially immune to water damage
Man that was awesome! Would love to see the same thing done with other brands. Dewalt vs Milwaukee vs Makita vs Ryobi and so on. This type of video is hugely important to consumers. Great work Donut crew!
Project farm does this
And AVE. Keep the kids out of the room though. His words get very Canadian.
@@jacobgardner4101 Only better.
Vcg construction does that
project farm did this years ago i dont think milwaukee won but close second
Donut : Which Impact Wrench is best ?
Also Donut : Wall full of Milwaukee chargers behind them
Hell yea, Team Milwaukee. I've been switching everything to Milwaukee and I'm glad I did.
Milwaukee is no joke... It's all we use on the job site and it's never let us down through the rain, mud, dirt, sand, sewer, heat and cold! The batteries last ages and hold charge even after years of use and the power they output never disappoints!
Exactly what i expected. Ran a few shops in my day and at some point my techs would always ditch their power tools from snap on for Milwaukee or dewalt . Best bang for your buck
We work sand and gravel pits, liner changes, screens and pulling big electric motors, dewalt and Milwaukee cordless out pace and torque the big pneumatic 100% of the time. There is a reason they are too dog in the cordless market, the half Bach drive impacts In both brands are absolute beasts
So yk if Rigdid is any good?
@@crumplygrub3212 it's not. Both milwaukee and riDgid are chinese manufacture now, watch a video by AvE on it. Milwaukee used to be american but it was sold lol. Hilti is better value for money if you are gonna use your tool regularly
@@kylehills2754 how is it that you've never used Hilti lol? It's miles ahead of dewalt and milwaukee. The starting price is a bit bigger, but the repairs are less frequent and it often works faster meaning you have less downtime + get it done more quickly
@@dimitrijekrstic7567 metabo, hilti, Fein, blue Bosch and Milwaukee are the only brands I'd ever trust. And tbh not really bosch
Need more videos like this very educational on tools 🛠
I got a snapon gun and yea it’s expensive after watching this video I’m going to invest in a Milwaukee now
When I first got into the repair industry (auto/diesel) it was all snap-on this, snap-on that. Probably well over 50k at the time, then I got out for a while due to illness, then it was all Matco, the batt power tools were great at the time but expensive as hell, so I started looking at alternatives (gearwrench, Craftsman and neiko) my wrenches are all gearwrench both ratchet and standard, impacts are neiko or gearwrench, my impact drivers are all brushless craftsman I can use my 3/8 for most lugs, but I have the 1/2 for the stubborn ones, the brushless 1/4 bit driver will keep up with my matco infinitum (they are changing to Milwaukee and I have no interest in that) after 20 years, my tools still hold up and ready for whatever I throw at them next
This is a great test! But remember when you buy cordless tools you're also buying into the platform. The Milwaukee tools line up dwarfs Bauer and Snap On. Milwaukee is also much more widely available.
home depot is the golden spot for milwaukee
Very true
Yeah that's one reason I never bought any bauer battery tools. They have some nice plug-in tools tho. I love my big belt sander and my rotary hammer. Their demolition hammer and jackhammer look pretty nice too, but none of that is really car related
For cordless systems I would say - Milwaukee, Makita, and Dewalt are clear kings and you cannot go wrong with any of those. Hilti, Festool and (maybe) Snap-On could be considered by bigger companies that specialize in specific area because of longevity and service... then again one could buy whole set of Makitas for the price of one Snap-On tool
@@sorrywrongnumber5280 It's really impressive how much Harbor Freight's quality has improved in the last 10 years. Though it can be pretty hit or miss But for cordless tools on a budget I always recommend Ryobi. IMO they're the best value with a huge catalog for DIY.
I don't have the M18, but I love my Milwaukee M12 1/2" stubby impact! Thing's a beast!
That's the one I have and supposidely in other videos it's the most powerful too of the compacts.
Bro i got 3/8 and 1/2. Not a day goes by without me using them. Absolute beasts
My 3/8 stubby breaks lugs off my f250 which are torqued to 165, and also old and rusted on, straight eats
M12 owner here... :)
Greetings from the Islands of PALAU ! 🇵🇼 Awesome Take ! And Yes, " Milwaukee,The Tool that keeps on Tooling " 💯🤙
I had makita for years and thought it was great. Decided to make it my home kit and bought a Milwaukee set up. Wow what a difference. I didn’t know what I was missing .
This is exactly why I'm slowly converting my toolbox over to a full Milwaukee catalog!
fr. snap on is great but for the price and performance milwaukee seems like the way to go. I will say for a tire gun the matco 1/2" fuckn rips probably strongest out there. Anyway milwaukee is killin it. I hope they don't go the craftsman route/get bought at and go full crap.
@@kea1234 its amazing they are even still trying to "compete" double the price and it doesn't perform as good lol
We need these test over online reviews to see how they perform in the real world scenario, so far out of all of them Milwaukee performed the best
Their 90 degree hammer drill is garbage....or at least the one i have is. My coworkers have bosch and dewalt and theirs dont stall out near as easy when we hit rebar. They have the straight style though so maybe that has something to do with it and the 90 degree ones just arent as strong.
@@PureSPLprix Never tested Milwaukee because South America but I did tried DeWalt and used Bosch and they're top tier so I guess there's no comparison point. My brother worked with a German (not Chinese) Bosch hammer drill for +15 years and stall outs were rare. That said if you can get your hands on a Metabo don't hesitate, it's the best you can get both on power and reliability.
As Canadian who changes tires (winter tyres) every year twice on 3 cars. I would say getting a impact wrench is the single best thing I have bought.
I have one myself - and I cant use it. The bolts just get stuck inside head adapter. Dont know how people do it :D
Dude just check your channel out you are seriously under rated.
@@lesgo791 Thanks a lot my friend.

"Theres only one way to find pout Gerald"🤣🤣
Might have been the funniest episode I’ve watched. That fish tank ender killed me
Between personal experiences and AvE videos i knew which one would win😂 my fathers a carpenter and has the same XC5.0 batteries that he got when he started making the switch from Makita 7 or so years ago, they still work perfectly. Ive seen a ton of mechanics say they’ll never use anything but Milwaukee and all my tools now and in the future are and will be Milwaukee
I primarily only use Milwaukee, I do however have 3 snap on cordless ratchets, and 1 Milwaukee. The Milwaukee has a bit more power, but other than that I like the snap on ones better, but they cost more than double the price.
This show's great! I can't wait to see more!!
It's like a perfect pocket for Donut too. They just get to destroy stuff with vague accuracy and record it!
I really love the way you do videos
Had a Milwaukee impact driver just like that fall off into a lake when working on my boat. 12 feet underwater for 30 minutes and the only thing that went bad after two weeks was the battery never had a problem since. Two years later working just fine.
Great show! However, the timing test for removing a lug nut requires additional tests for each tool. Maybe 1 wheel per tool to get an accurate reading and remove variability.
If Hi-Lo and Money Pit had a baby, it would be Tool Party. I freakin love this series, thank you for doing this. Gonna be clutch as I build and upgrade my toolbox.
I'm amazed how durable my Milwaukee tools are. My first one was the 1/2 high torque. I've dropped that thing so many times, admittedly threw it at the ground on a rough day, and my coworker ran it over when it was new. Still works perfectly fine 5 years later.
Amazing, i bought m12 impact and m18 high torque and the m12 its impresive, after watching this im very happy, in from spain, here its not the snap on, but i think it you pay for the name..
