Milwaukee Power Tools

I got the 3/8 and 1/2 2 5.0 batteries and charger on a promotion through my tool vendor. I don’t use my air impact much anymore. It’s a bit heavy but I’m getting massive forearms from using it on the daily. I was looking into the IR and Snap-on but then this promo came out.

I could no longer justify Snap-On or Ingersoll Rand cordless tools when I am no longer making my living with them.

I am just really looking forward to no hoses to flip around out of the way. I may go back to air tools but I will give cordless tools a fair shot.

Plus, this 67 year old man could use some help with building my forearms and wrists back up. I used to be able to crush a hand shake, if I wanted to, but not so much any more.

the only thing i dont like about the ratchet is changing the direction

The ratchets I don’t care for. The heads are much to large for me to use in tight quarters. Still prefer the cordless snapons

You gotta change the air ratchets as well. Tight quarters, like Ian was talking about, is where you will likely be on a smaller bolt or nut and with those I like to FEEL the tension with a hand tool.

That 3/8 Mid torque Impact is an absolute beast, Iv had mine since it first came out and have been nothing but happy with it. It's taken on every task and challenge Iv thrown at it.

Milwaukee is hard to beat when it comes to power tools, at least imo. They're always innovating and coming out with more awesome stuff. I find myself buying allot of their tools even if i don't need them or for a one off project. It's like the male version of Women's Shoes, You just want them all..

if you get a chance, the 1/2 is a beast
the best thing that’s hard to pass
Up is the for the price of a Snapon 1/2 you’re getting a 3/8,1/2, 2 lith batteries and a charger. SO or IR only offer 1 year warranty, MW comes with 5 year and batt covered too.

Yup I also have the 1/2 Mid torque and the 3/4 High torque. Both have ridiculously good power for their Sizes, at least compared to pneumatic. Fortunately I haven't had to Warranty any of their tools but that is comforting to know they have a longer warranty period than competitors.

My new 3/8" impact, at 600 ft. lbs., has plenty of torque to remove lug nuts without having to use the 1/2" impact. Plus, as Ian said, that 5 year warranty is hard to pass up.

Made a quick test vid using the 1/2 on setting 3. I’ll do one when I find a more stuck bolt
As you can see how much torque it kicks even with a torque stick. It will snap a fail guys arm lol
