I bought the M18 Fuel 1/2" impact driver. When I took it out of the box it just never worked with the torque it should have had. Could not even remove a lug nut @ 100 ft lbs. So, I printed out a mailing form and sent it in to Milwaukee for service. They replaced it in less than a week. 0 cost to me. Now I consider my Milwaukee impact wrench a BEAST! Thing is a total BEAST. love it and very happy with the Milwaukee customer service. They made a mistake... apologized and fixed it.
MrFenwayfool They stand by it and hey, i havent had to turn a single tool or battery yet in 6 years, theyve got their amazing place in the market and just overal great in my opinion. Thankyou for sharing very much! I do appreciate others experiences and feedbavks greatly!
I'm not a mechanic. I just got this a few days ago and I work on towers and using this along with impact rated bits makes my work with steel so much better and precise. I have the Gen 3 impact driver but I want to keep that for mounting equipment on the ground. What a great impact wrench!
its been a hella impact for sure! thank you for watching
Love my Milwaukee cordless impacts. 5 year warranty on tool and 3 year on battery. Don't get me wrong love snap on for hand tools but cordless Milwaukee all the way
ABSOLUTELY!!!!
HONESTO UNO Well, it shouldnt break anything, but, if tire shop it was at last used blue locktite or if they are quite rusted on would first break free with breaker bar in case, if not should do alright, reccomend torquing lug uts though when they go back on
Bearded Seabee82 had blue locktite on mine were at 150lbs.. grabbed Milwaukee mid torque.. about 3 impacts and bolt was free
Hehe, nice!, ive had it pull wrenches out of my hand on lvl3 setting few times before on 1/2" bolts, its got quite a bit of ass behind that lil impact to be sure!
Bearded Seabee82 650ft lbs on speed 3. 450 fastening
I replaced my old Milwaukee with the new mid toque, its small compact and powerful with 600ft IBS of torque I own those 2 impacts ass well and they are still going strong.the snapon's can't touch the Milwaukee impacts at work.Milwaukee is making the best impacts money can buy and you can't beat the 5 year warranty. I've seen guys at work spend 600 bucks on a snapon and a 160 dollar Milwaukee removed bolts that the snapon could not.
Demarcus Williams mac tools dojng some belters too more powerful than three Milwaukee ones
Snap on not the best on the inpacts
got the Milwaukee fuel too. it's dope. super strong. it's light to me. for what it will do.
Yeah, body wise its just slightly larger than the 1/4" fuel, but sure rocks out some horse power, its a good step above its predecessor, and for cost, hella lot cheaper than snapon
Great Video.Thanks for taking the time to make it. Great information.
Thankyou!
I have the 3/8ths and the 1/2 inch Beast. Looing forward to the mid torque too!
I recommend to get the protection boot for it. I own the same brushless impact and I love it.
I debated on getting one for my older model, but i do agree, its worth the few extra bucks for sure
ive had my fuel 3/8 drive impact for a little over a year now... the bitch got left out in the rain, has taken a few transmission fluid baths, dropped from everywhere, and its still kicking strong!
king.jameso Tuff lik buggers for sure! And for what they run online or in store, hell ya just cant beat em
cool stuff. you upgrade just seen me the smaller stuff I'll put them to work lol. good video bro keep it up. god bless
THanks heath!, sorry for delay in response, its been hectic lately. So today i finally got rounded up the rest of the stuff ive wanted to send off with that hat and plan on tomorrow during my lunch headin to post office. Sorry for delay, but only free time ive had was sunday when post office closed which sucks. But it will be getting your way come hell or high water
Nice work on this video. That Milwaukee is a tough little unit.
Buffalo's Outdoors Oh it has been theough the ringer for sure... Just wait to see what i have comun up on both channels later lol.
I'll be lookin for it!
Great video
Thank you!
I'd buy that impact the old one
the Bosch and dewalt compact impact wrenches are underpowered but makita makes a impact wrench that is the same size and has the same power ass the Milwaukee.all the other companies are left in the dust,I've used and seen them all at work,but the new Milwaukee mid torque is a game Changer its the same size as the one you just bought but has 600ft ibs of torque I had to order one off the Internet, because all the stores stay sold out. I didn't think they could get that much torque in something that small. m18 2861
Very nice, Yeah, Milwaukee has kinda been my go to for a good number of years, got kinda hooked on them at the steel plant I used to work at where they were put through hell, especially during construction phase of the plant as we were building everything. There we had the M24 models though. I settled on the M18s and havent looked back nor do I regret getting them at all, they sure ROCK! Warranty-excellent, though havent had a need yet to send out for it lol. They sure do get the job done especially for their price!
I need to get the Fuel 3/8" gun. My high torque and mid torque kill though bro... great video, Semper Fi
Hoorah!, yeah Clay over at Koon trucking did vid this past week on this little guy, does bangup job for size! Thankyou for watching!
Bearded Seabee82 you got it brotha. I have A shit ton of the new generation of the Fuel line. Can't beat it especially given it's cost. Glad to watch brotha.
I have been wondering about the Milwaukee Fuel impacts. I have seen several CZcamsrs using them. I have been toying with getting the Milwaukee series or getting a compressor. Still not sure. What are your thoughts?
Thats kind of a tough call. Ive been loving the hell out of milwaukee cordless for decade now, and slowly been upgrading to the fuel line (1/4 then 3/8, 1/2 will be the next). I enjoy my little 1/2 stubby aircat because of fact i can get it to tighter places with 550ish ft lbs (literally). But iuse the hell outa my cordlesses as well. 1/4 or 3/8 would be one to start off with and kind of go from there. Bigger question is what type of projects/work do you plan on doin?
I have a Jeep and will be getting my 9yo one in the next couple of years where we have to actually get it running again. Doing all the work ourselves for the most part. Also getting into metal working and an amateur wood working.
Well, about 600 ish on full 18v kit, or 400-500 on good (rand quincy etc) air compressor... that would be subjective as to say getting smaller 18v kits (2tool sets) a time and build up, at least could have 3/8 fuel to do tires when out jeeping, put torx socket on to do deck work etc... it is alot to take to consideration both ends, especially painting and sand blasting for body side...
Great video thanks for sharing. :)
Thanks, Milwaukee have been reliable for me for many years now, THankyou for watching!
Did you ever have to replace the brushes? I know that isn't the reason to go with brushless.
No didnt replace brushes on that one, was just getting old and wore out anyways, then after talking to couple other guys theres quite a bit that goes into the little cordlesses, sealed motors, soldering etc... the larger older corded ones not as bad as components easier to rebuild, but that older 3/8 had definitly paid itself off 10 fold over better part of a decade. Thankyou for watching
When you say, "I can buy the body", you mean the entire BARE TOOL, correct? Regarding options, in a way it doesn't matter what else is out there. If you've committed to Milwaukee, DeWalt, whatever, you're there for the foreseeable future because of the proprietary batteries used by each manufacturer. No one wants to have to deal with two or three battery systems for either logistics or cost reasons. The way out is to sell or give your current drill, impact, etc., to someone else who can't afford the full cost of entry into a cordless system. The belt clip on the older unit looks better, more durable and is probably less troublesome to use than the one on your new impact. It's probably also cheaper to make. I would have been tempted to trade them out, if it fit.
yup body=bare tool. as for deciding to go with red, well, after using them at a steel plant for while and we beat the hell out of them there, the warrranty they carry on the tools and batteries, and the fact that im still going on first sets of batteries from 2011 and 2012, hell, they just kind of stuck with me. wasnt so much the thought of multiple or different platforms more so than just how well milwaukee have been working for me. lots og good points and good input, thank you for watching!
What's the difference of this one and the stubby version impact? Just size?
This is a bit of an older vid, but with their latest models their stubby m12 is even more powerful, and then of course m18 1/2" and 3/8" d4 new versions also pack more punch
@@BeardedSeabee82 thanks for the response! I never seen this impact and I thought it was nice and was wondering
Was it made in China like the current ones?
The one i replaced or the newer one i got?
@@BeardedSeabee82 The old one. Just wondering if the reliability was due to good USA quality or if they were outsourced back then too. I'm shopping for the mid torque 1/2" new one for my cars.
Will have to dig her outa my box here at home and look. The mid torque stubbies are on my watchlist right now as well. Thanks for watching! And will let you know where it was made.
was made in china too.
@@BeardedSeabee82 Thanks for checking... almost guaranteed to be so. Can't wait until we shut the door on Asia and are forced to make our own products again. Won't see that in my lifetime though.
do not expect same durablility with you new machine, not made in USA as was your original
