Battery impact wrench

[chessie4905]

I see that Milwaukee has a super duty battery impact wrench with up to 2000lbs of torque for big bucks now. Guess Harbor Freight will have to step up AGAIN. Lol

Milwaukee tools are currently manufactured in China, Germany, Mexico, the United States and Vietnam. In 2005 the company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Hong Kong based Techtronic Industries.

LOL everyone needs a 2000 ft lb of torque impact wrench to break the wheels or studs ,it would have to be a 1" drive

[dtcerrato]

I agree, wtf?

I'm not sure I want 2,000 lb in force that easily held in hand, at least with a pneumatic that big hose dragging around reminds you to brace your wrist before squeezin that trigger.  My little Ryobi impact driver has served me very well, but even that's given me a few surprise kicks on occasion.

I finally decided to invest in the Milwaukee 2767-20 M18 FUEL 1/2" Impact Wrench a couple of months ago. I borrowed one from a friend once, and it took my lug nuts off very easily.

I have a tourque multiplier that worked good on my MC-9, but it would not work on my Eagle because of the chrome tire covers I have on the rear.  I will sell it cheap if anyone is interested. But it takes some strength to hold it up and turn the handle at the same time, strength that I have less of each year.

Also, as I get older, I do not have the strength and do not want to carry a 6' cheater bar with me like we had on the farm for these big jobs on heavy equipment.

The only caveat about this tool is, you may want to ensure you charge the battery every month or so because it it is not fully charged, it may or may not loosen your nuts.

This is an expensive tool, and be sure you buy the battery that goes with it as well as a battery charger as some do not come as a package deal.  I also saw these being sold earlier as refurbished units, and those I am sure would work well too, for those of us who not plan to use them in their daily activity.

I also bought the carrying bag for it, as of course, they no longer come with the tool, unless maybe, you buy it as a kit.

I have always had good luck with Milwaukee tools.

I will guarantee you one thing, this is much easier to move around than Cliffs big  3/4" impact wrench and a large diameter air hose, and the air compressor I carrry in my bus, is not large enuf to run the big gun.  However, I have seen 1/2 air impact wrenches that will remove my lug nuts, but you have to buy the more expensive ones such as an Ingersol Rand, as the Harbor Freight models, just don't have the torque required.

I bought a Hercules 1/2 ultra. Up to 1400 lb ft. It spins lug nuts off fine. No doubt the Milwaukee are great, but battery price is a killer.
If my ultra won't  loosen one, I have an IR 1" @175 psi that'll  loosen them or flip the coach over.

LVMCI and Van bought me the Hercules 1/2 drive for my birthday seems to do a good job but it is a heavy sucker, I have a 3/8th drive cordless rachet (non HF). I love and use it all the time

We've been using forever a 3/4" drive Sears Craftsman aka Chicago Pneumatic impact and still carry hand tools & a 6' cheater because we are all about redundancy.

I have the 3/4" milwaukee impact wrench and if I use the 12 amp battery that came with the chain saw it will take just about anything off . but ya it is heavy

I gave away all my big air impact guns

[luvrbus]

My 3/4 air impact gun weighs the same as the 1/2 drive Milwaukee cordless, but the air cost me more than the cordless,I have a older  1/2 drive Milwaukee cordless in Scottsdale I was never impressed with it.I have  air impact and rachets from the 60's still working, I wonder if you will see the cordless around in 60 years. lol I walk around the 1in drive I/R it is seldom is used anymore

[dtcerrato]

We also have a Dewalt and a Milwaukee 1/2" drive electric (120V) that are handy. We carry one in the bus and there's one in the bus barn.

I rarely use that 1" IR gun. BUT, if I come across something that won't budge, Ill drag it out. Last I used it was dismanthing the rear section of a 4905. Pita dragging out all the 1/2" hose to outside of shop, but couple burps and off it came. Didnt have the HF ultra yet. Would have been a good test. Like that it has a 5 year warranty instead of the common 90 day.

what the hell is wrong with a 6 ft bar? No batteries, lifetime guarantee and built in torque wrench to boot? Get on a scale, do simple math, measure and tape to ft lbs you want, and presto, set forever, that is until you eat too many cheeseburgers. lol

[chessie4905]

Nope, btdt. Impact and torque wrench.
