I’m super bummed you guys didn’t test the 3.0 three cell pack and the 3.0 six cell pack. That would have been the most interesting to see. If you even see this comment I have both of those batteries and I’d be happy to send them to you guys

Found y'all on KZfaq about 1 or 2 months ago and I've watched every video you've made. Love the cut and dry straight to the testing approach. No fake enthusiasm, no heavy handed salesmanship. It's a great time coming home from work and seeing a new upload. Never change, TTC. And please do always stick around.

I purchased the M12 impact wrench with a 6.0 battery a few months ago and have been very impressed with it. I wanted something smaller and lighter than my high torque. I figured the M12 would be good enough for 50% of what i needed a impact wrench for. To my surprise it’s been plenty powerful enough for >90% of my needs. I use the high torque so infrequently that I don’t keep a battery attached to it.

After getting my m12 fuel ratchet I couldn't imagine life without it. Same to the compact m12 impact

This channel has exploded. I cannot believe the number of subs. I started early around 3K and that wasn’t that long ago. Excellent content!!

They also offer a cp3.0 pack in the same form factor as the 2.0. Works really well with both of these tools for size/power

I used kzfaq.infoUgkx4ynqaujg7rZKFapA8s29kTpRszJGa3-K this for the first time today to replace the front wheel bearing on my rwd 98 dodge dakota. This had absolutely no issue removing or reinstalling the lug nuts and it took off the axle nut without any struggle. Sounds like it's got some muscle to it. Time will tell

Once again you guys answer everything I wanted to know. Thanks again for the info!

I love the comparison graph you use. Thanks for the video!

This was a great video for me. Was really debating whether or not to get the 6.0 but this cleared up things for me. Thanks a lot !

This couldn’t have come at a more perfect time gentlemen! I was considering the right angle just today! Crazy. I’m going to take my finger off that trigger and wait patiently, with beans on😉, for the hard facts, figures and beans you guys seamlessly provide. I thank everyone in the “TTC Cool Crew”for the time and effort it takes to give us all nine +++ minutes of the pure, hard, un salted, un sweetened, beans. P.S. HUGE shout out to the beans timer!! She’s showing wear and tear as that start button has granted wished, opened eyes, crushed dreams and everything in between. Raise your bean drinks and beans to the Torque Test Channel Cool Crew and the bean counter!! 🎤”Cause we’re all about dem beans, dem beans, no strugglllle🎼🎵 K, I’m done…

Would love to see this test again if you get your hands on the new 2.5 and 5Ah HO batteries.

Excellent video! I have really come to respect what my M12 tools can do, and I have the M12 and M18 Surge, not even the full-power impact drivers or stubby impact wrench (although that may have to be my next purchase).

You ain't wrong on the right angle impact. The battery it comes with makes me dislike the tool. It won't break Subaru bellhousing bolts loose, the exact bolts I bought it for. Gonna go get the 6.0 and see if it wakes mine up. Thanks for all of your no nonsense videos!! 💯

My m12 compact impact wrench is my go to tool for everything except high torque applications. That’s what my XTR is for. Very compact, very light, insane run time with the 4.0. I don’t have that right angle m12 however I have the Kobalt right angle impact, and m12 fuel ratchet for those jobs.

Our local sources were all out of the 3.0's when we tested these, and we only had these 2 impacts for a day. Sorry to the 3.0 lovers!

Lots of good info in this video! Thanks for sharing!

Great video, this video helped me make my decision for which battery to get for m12 tools.

I'm my personal experience, the 4.0 will carry these m12 tools harder and longer than any amount of 2.0. Glad to see the torque dyno tell the same story!

Love my M12 compact wrench impact! Things a beast!!!

I love these M12 tools. I use the impact, ratchet, and die grinder more than any other power tool in my shop.

I got the m12 drill with a 2.0 and 4.0 battery as a kit for $120 and at the time Northern Tool had a deal where they threw in a 6.0 as well. I think I made out pretty good on that one.

great video! thank you for the very useful buyers advice!

Thanks, I have found the 2565-20 wanting for power and use my pneumatic hammerhead when needed.

Awesome! Been waiting to see the true output of the right angle before picking one up. Next paycheck here it comes :)

Good video! Now I can't wait for the right angle impact test coming up. I sure like my Kobalt 24v right angle impact, use it a bunch.

These test mirror my anecdotal experience. The 2.0 won’t spin off the lugnuts on my wife’s SUV, but the 4.0 sure does. Great little compact impact for suspension work.

I wish they would have your battery going out the other way behind the tool. I didn't like the handle at first but after using it a few months I now love it

Besides my paycheck you have me looking forward to this Friday

I have the M12 Fuel Drill/Driver kit and my experience mirrors yours. I purchased mine at Home depot and it came with a 2.0 and a 4.0Ah battery plus a free 2 pak of 1.5Ah batteries. I purchased a radio that I use the small batteries in and I bought a second 4.0 battery for my drill. I love my M12 set and have seen no reason to move to the M18 for what work I do.

I’d like you to test out the M12 stubby again (you call it the M12 Compact Impact), except this time, with the M12 CP 3.0 battery, and M12 XC 3.0 battery. I’ve always been curious if the CP 3.0 would make a good compromise for its size, but with just enough juice that would be very close to a XC 4.0 battery.

I’ve been quite happy with Bosch for my subcompact needs. They don’t have much but they have the basics.

Video on those torque-limiting attachments? Are they accurate? Always well done videos.

New to the channel and love the vids!!!

Perfect timing for the Kobalt vs Milwaukee comparison. I have both battery platforms so curious to see what you find. I’m leaning towards the Milwaukee purely by form factor but will wait for your review.

I have the 3/8th version of the compact and it's perfect for working on my Suzuki Jimny and so far with the 4.0 it's not undone anything I have put it on.

Good job, thanks for sharing.

Would be curious to see if one of those aftermarket 9.0 batteries bump it up more or not.

I wanted to know this! Thumbs up and subscribed! Nice links!

Damn I was really hoping to see a compact 3.0 in this test. Would be really cool if you could do a cp3.0 vs xc3.0 to see if batteries in parallel preform worse than batteries in series. Or just a test of all of the compact batteries versus each other (1.5, 2.0, 3.0). Either way very cool video thank you for sharing

I’ve had an m12 stubby 3/8’s at work for about 2 years now and it’s been a great tool. Very strong for its size and I like the fatter handle on it. It’s stronger than my co workers 20 volt Mac 3/8 impact lol. It’s great for engine work and can even pull off the wheels on my 3/4 ton dodge.

They all have a place in my arsenal. Application and location for use are key.

Thanks for that test. I found a deal for a 4 pack of the 4 ah for $180. I was hoping to find some 6ah, but now I’m seeing that’s not necessary, especially if I’ll have 3 back ups.

Good info in here as some have said online that the 6.0 isn't as powerful as the 4.0; clearly not the case. That said, I would have loved to see the CP 3.0 and XC 3.0 in the mix too; maybe in an update sometime? Either way, I only run two batteries with my M12 tools; CP 3.0s for most things, and XC 6.0s for higher demand tools.

I got stubby and ratchet as a deal almost 2 years ago. Came with 2.0 4.0 and 6.0 was a free gift. I sold the 6.0 on marketplace for like $60. Sold in a day. Didn’t think I’d Need. I’m happy to see it’s now that much different than the 4.0 lol. Was getting nervous for a second

I use 4ah batteries for my impacts and a 6ah for my M12 air compressor and it seems to be a great match.

Once again your work has saved me money.

Awesome as alwways! Any chance we could get a short video of the cp 3.0 and xc 3.0?

Really like my M12, with 2ah, and 4.0 batteries, it gets everything done I throw at it, would definitely suite any diy'er 98% of jobs they would come across.

Good job dude!

I'm still impressed with my m12 3/8 equip with 6.0 battery sometimes I'm gonna use in lug nut wheels a small tools but badass performance

I love my M12 3/8 stubby, I also have the new m18 mid torque but don't use as often. I will get a 3/8 cordless ratchet next but don't know which one yet, currently leaning towards the high speed or high torque.

I used the stubby impact with a 4.0 at work and 6.0 onsite jobs ( no charger). Always seemed like the 4.0ah had a bit more jam than the 6.0ah. The 4.0 was older and had more cycles. Maybe the 4.0 has a bit higher peak current?🧐

Thanks for the analysis and vedeo.

Torque Channel Guys, I really enjoy watching your channel. You all add reality to tool buying and actual use. I also like the M12 grip. I guess the guys with the small little hands prefer the thinner grips. I feel you can get a better purchase on the tool.

Any possibility of getting a 3.0 m12 compact battery and testing it to see the difference as well?

Hi, have you done a test on different sockets and adapters on impact wrench’s today see which give the best torque transfer and how much torque you lose with extensions, wobble sockets, hex. Bi hex, regular vs impact sockets, knuckle joints. ….your tests are awesome thanks for doing a great job…

Can we see a heads-up lineup of battery torque tests like this on the m18 fuel 3/8" and 1/2" impacts?

Hope you guys plan to test the makita, Dewalt and Bosch 12v equivalents. I have the right angle lxt 18v makita right angle and while its only rated at 35 ft lbs I use it alot for spinning nuts and bolts off that I break loose with a regular ratchet, when working with fasteners put into plastic I can typically spin them right out with it. Unlike the rest of my tools a 6 aH doesn't seem to add any power over a 2aH

One thing I've noticed about Milwaukee Fuel impact wrench: the torque it delivers depends on, to some extent, the way it's being held. Pressed snugly at precicely perfect angle at the nut, it performs way better than when just looslely held and maybe a little tilted. Or so I think. Maybe test this with some gear, if not tested yet?

Love my m12 with a 6.0. Rarely have to touch my 2767 high torque, and it’s so small. The snap on 14.4vs have nothing on it.

What do you think of the CP 3.0 for the m12 compact do you recomend the xc battery line or the CP for a smaller foot print

Have you guys tested aftermarket batteries?

I’ve swapped the cells on some of my m12 and m18 batteries from 20a cells to 30a cells. Could I send them to you guys for testing? Really curious how my custom 2ah will hold up to a stock 4ah.

Do you ever let the tools cool down before the next test? because I think that plays a big part in the power they make.

Ac Delco makes a right angle rachet. We use it and its awesome

CP 3.0 vs XC 3.0?

The right angle impact is a helpful tool.

Still hoping for an appendice to the makita battery chart to include their 6 amp battery

I notice my straight grinder cuts out when I use my 6ah battery. Lower ah batteries don't bother it. I also notice my 90° grinder also cuts out using the 6ah, but only if I lug it with high pressure and the motor gets hot. I think these tools use the same motor, and it doesn't like to get hot, but gets hot easily.

I would love to see an updated video to include the new 2.5ah HO and 5ah HO batteries

@torquetestchannel can you do the new high output batteries?

Can you test banging on a normal wrench with a hammer, or using a floor jack on a breaker bar

Im curious to see how the new 2.5 & 5.0 High Output batteries do with these tools.

I keep an impact in my trunk to help people with flat tires. Now that it's cold, how much does battery temperature affect torque output?

Are the m12 batteries interchangeable with the m18 batteries or vice a versa?

Can you test the difference in power output between knock-off vs Milwaukee m12 batteries?

Curious how Makita's new Low Torque 18V Impact compares with the old one. New one is XWT15Z, don't know the old one as I'm in Canada and the model numbers are different. In Canada it's DTW285XVZ

Really wanting numbers on if the CP 3.0 is worth it.

Is there like a website where all these charts and info are compiled for easily comparing tools and figures??‽?

Man i wish I found this channel months ago. Just got a new M18 compact impact and really wish I got the m12 as the m18 is just not really compact enough.

My stubby 3/8 impact w/ the XC6.0 battery has only hit it's limit a couple times, but I've only had it for a week or two, but it keeps up fine, only thing it can't do reliably is like rusty 24mm suspension stuff that you have to use a swivel on. Highly recommend it. EDIT: Oh, and axle nuts, it's 50/50 chance on those, lol.

I wish you would of had access to the 3.0 battery. It’s the same form factor as the 2.0. I came with a Milwaukee heated coat I bought last winter. Anyways it gives a huge torque boost to my brushed M12 3/8 ratchet. I was shocked how much speed the 3.0 added over the 2.0.

Bro I had bought a 6.0 and compact 3.0 for 99$ just got to buy when they have good deals like that 👍

FINALLY SOMEONE DID THIS TEST

Would be great if you could test the waitley copy batteries they seem the best quality, even the 9ah m12 vs Milwaukee 6ah, just be interesting! Thanks for the great content! Chris.

I have the bigger style 3.0 battery that’s like the style of the 4.0 and 6.0 footprint Would it be similar to the 4.0?

What about the IR right angle impact

Can you do an update on this? Quite a few batteries have come out since....also would like to see the 3/8 anvil to see dem BEANS!

Can you test torque on ratchets?

Are you going to test air impact ratchets?

Why didn't you get the cp and xc 3.0

Would like to see you test the husky cordless power ratchet

You forgot the compact 3.0. great video though as always

Not being a mechanic the impact isn't my #1 tool..but I do own a few to take things apart before I weld them back together. My alleged beef with the m12's is the life span of the batteries.(I still own a grip of them)Maybe you could design a test to cycle the batteries like 200x then see how they perform?

Ingersoll rand also makes a 20v right angle

I love my little M12 and I really don't like red but she just works.

Great video always fun to watch besides that we need a Lowe’s in Puerto Rico contact your agent👍👍👍😎🛠🇵🇷🍕

Man I would really enjoy seeing the Ingersoll rand 20v right angle and 1/2 impact tested against the Milwaukee
