Great video. I do have a question though because I am in the market for a new impact! If you try an M12 and it will not remove a chainsaw clutch, would the M18 do it? I guess I am asking about "hitting power"...

@MachineryNation 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you Steve. A very valid question. Yes, hands down the M18 gear will have more power. Fingers crossed in our impact wrench video we will demonstrate this quite well. We will even use them on chainsaw clutch to test. Do you have a preference on an awkward chainsaw clutch to remove?

@ryanbrowne4374 2 жыл бұрын

I removed the clutch from my 346xp last night with my m12 fuel impact driver. Made quick work of it.

@SuperBill68 10 ай бұрын

Drill- Packedge in typical box, came with a tool bag (added bonus), two batteries, one charger, drill, and driver. Two words "plenty of Torque" kzfaq.infoUgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv well I guess that's three. Nice upgrade from current setup. Has belt clips, I don't think I will be using those. Driver and drill were bigger than what I expected but it is an upgrade from the current setup. For the money I would say that this is a great setup for Professionals and DIY/Weekend warriors.

Greetings from across the pond from the USA, Great Channel! and very informative start to a milwaukee m18 vs m12, I run both m12 and m18 from construction to working on farm/ heavy equipment so I have a large line of cordless tools, I used to have snapon cordless impacts and kept having issues with them always in for repair, switched to milwaukee and haven't looked back yet and for the price point I've saved alot of money and I've yet to have one go in for warranty or any issues. Patiently waiting for the husqvarna 592xp to be released in the USA from watching your videos on it.

Hey guys new subscriber here after watching this video looking forward to the rest of the series. Your M18 impact in this video is the older gen 2 not the current gen 3. Other than that I liked the fact you used them for “standard screws” not giant lag bolts of something silly.

@omardominguez2936 2 жыл бұрын

I believe the m12 are really really awesome tools. Especially for smaller to medium tasks. Once you start to need more power of course the m18 will start to have the advantage. Like in this video, 4inch screws there’s no big difference. I believe you’ll start to notice a difference over 8inch. Great video btw!!!
