I really dont like the commentary during the video.

Could you give me an update on how good it was, cuz I'm debating whether I should get a 1/2 or 3/8 impact wrench?

@@Tony-bs5wc Definitely legit, I love mine. Tons of power! I would go with the 1/2 inch

@@damon323 Thank you so much👍

or just have a 3/8 to 1/2 adapter

Yeah but if your upsizing on higher torque you usually snap adapters

@@E_ina_G well then in that case correct

Can you pls tell which one is faster?

Haven’t had an adapter snap yet and I use the pittsburgh cheap ones. These aren’t your one foot long impacts. I go 1/2 on anvil incase I need the 3/4 adapter and can switch down to 3/8.

Same! It's kinda crazy it's even considered 'mid' torque, it'll do just about anything, quickly. The stubby is a lot nicer for snugging up bolts without worrying about overtorquing

Yep. And if you try to use the 3/8 model with an extension it will fail. Go with the 1/2.

No, it's not.

Impact wrench

With 3/8" sockets, for sure!

@VP Motors thank you I just bought the 3/8 stubby.. so now I'll get 3/8 Sockets.. thanks... ppl.were telling me I need a adapter. Guess if you use 1/2 inch sockets

@@ahkisongbecuase sockets the size of lugs are usually 1/2 inch for more torque

The funny thing is if you had gotten the 3/8" with an adapter you'd be getting extra power. Maybe the extra weight of the adapter or something but it hits harder that way

​@Nl Pcrepairs Check out The Torque Channel video on adapters. The opposite of what you say is true, unfortunately. I thought the same thing until I watched their video.

Strange, most tests on youtube show that adapters take away a bunch of torque. I think the 3/8 hits harder because there is less mass to rotate with the lighter socket, thus load on the motor is smaller so it rotates faster and hits the anvil with faster blows...? Only a theory, otherwise I have no explanation why the 3/8 would be stronger.

@@vpmotors9529 Trust me I've tested it myself. I used a 22mm deep 3/8 socket on a Old Ford Heavy duty lug nuts. I let the socket tighten as tight as it would go with no further movement. I then slapped on a 3/8 to 1/2 adapter and marked hash marks for reference on a 22mm deep 1/2 socket. Well to my suprise running it with the heavier mass of the adapter/socket combo that nut almost did another full rotation. My guess is the same as yours, but since now the faster 3/8 Anvil is swining the added weight of the 1/2 socket and adapter that inturn gives it extra beans to power through the standard 3/8 limit. That is why I'm curious to see that how that adapter set up will do against a regular 1/2 Anvil. I can actually feel the difference in power while using the adapter it's like a Mini Midtorque kinda hard to explain. Try it and let me know what you think?

@@johnny4713ify I had the same results, a 19mm 3/8 could not remove my jeep's lug nuts, but when i used a step up adapter, it removed without any problem. In fact, I installed new shocks using the 3/8 stubby and 1/2 sockets. Unfortunately, I feel like when it reaches 2 bars of battery life, it's not the same as having 4 bars.

@@Pillzb3rry Nice glad you tried it out. I ordered a Titan 3/8 to 1/2 adapter that's more compact essentially it will have almost the same Anvil dimensions as a regular 1/2 so ill be curious too see how it performs with a bit less mass. I normally run the 6.0 battery and get a pretty good run time before I hit the two bar mark. Your right though you do lose beans with any wrench when it starts to gets too low. BTW your 6.0 battery looks different than mine so I'm assuming your up in 🇨🇦 😁. I only say that because I've noticed Milwaukee batteries are labeled differently when they are sold out of the states.

@@johnny4713ify Look up ARES 70198 that adapter is like it does not even exist it is soooo small. I am suing it on my stubby and you can barely tell it is 3/8 and not 1/2.

Try it yourself! Grab a torque wrench and a fully charged 6Ah battery, and a proper impact socket, you'll be surprised. I really can't see the reason why I'd loosen up anything before the test.

That’s a good way to put these impacts to the test

No impact will remove those, especially if they've never been serviced. 3/4 breaker bar is the only way!

@@ua7pyro591 I took off the crankbolt on my crv with my full sized makita impact and a weighted socket. It can be done (but not by a compact).

I used a yo-yo. Tap the trigger and off it flew

Mid or high torque only or one of these with a weighted socket

54 now

3/8" seems to hit a little harder and can be more compact due to socket length. 1/2" has way more accessories. If you can only afford one, I'd buy the 1/2", and later on maybe get a bigger 1/2" impact for tougher jobs so you can use your existing sockets.

Thanks! 120Nm does not equal to 90 ft/lbs, it is exactly 88.5. I didn't want to post false data.

@@vpmotors9529 My bad. I didn’t even notice that. I’ve never known anyone to actually use newton meters. Any mention of Nm is usually followed by a reference to muffler bearings or blinker fluid. Lol.

​@@Volksoner619 No problem at all! I live in Europe, we use metric units. I think , metric is standard everywhere else, apart from the US.

@@vpmotors9529 yea, the US is stupid like that. I really wish we’d fully convert to metric also. It would make work so much easier. I hate when I tell a coworker to grab a 13/16 and he asks “what’s that in numbers” then stares blankly at me. Lol.

I choose not to. But what is there to talk about? Everything is written on the screen. There is no point in reading out numbers.

​@@vpmotors9529 It's just easier to listen. I just think if you're going to put yourself out there and make content, then don't be afraid to put yourself out there and be social. I ended up leaving halfway through because I got bored looking for the numbers/ information on the screen. And, I'm a reader... so, it has nothing to do with that. It's just exhausting to follow, especially in the relaxing late hours that we all want to look at online tools. Some will feel different, but some will feel the same as me. Hope this helps.

No talking is better

Maybe he's blind. Or don't know how to read. Ijs lol

no

Maybe he sounds like mike tyson and thats why he doesnt want to talk?

@@jd07251983Tyson is a woman on deeball I didn’t believe it either

Took those pajero wheels off at 155 ft-lb a lot faster than my car's wheels at 105 with the same setup.

@@jake-mv5oi and they air impacts do 700 doesnt take it off that quick so

​@@jake-mv5oi Those lugnuts are obviously rust free and freshly tightened to proper torque. Try loosening yours than retightening with a torque wrench, they will come off as easy as presented in my video. If your's don't come off easily, it's probably because they've not been off the threads for a while, and all the salt, brakedust and rust has made them grip stronger. Also alloy wheel lugnuts tend to tighten over time. I don't get it why you think it's fake, I even show the reading on the torquewrench, and the whole point is to compare the tools to each other in a controlled environment. This is not a "real life" scenario, it's an experiment, speed only matters compared to the other tool.

how was I struggling?
