THanks for your reply. The point of the video was to show the potential of the tool with the smaller battery. Most people just have the smaller battery. That's why. Thanks.

Thank you for your reply.

Woh. That's a decent deal. Very nice.. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Thanks for your feedback. I mainly used that battery for the sake of the video. Most people would only have just the battery that comes with the gun and wouldn't necessarily have the extra higher capacity battery. Cheers.

@@UncleTinman yeah for sure. Thanks for the video. Ho batteries are pretty pricey too

Thanks for your reply. Yes. The bigger batteries will help. I wanted to make the video with the smaller battery for some people to see who don't have the bigger batteries.

@@UncleTinman The cp 3.0 batteries are actually smaller and lighter than the xc 5.0 batteries that come with the tools, yet produce more power. I do understand, though, that you were testing the tool the way it usually comes in a kit. I was just pointing the battery difference out because a lot of people don’t know about it. I just recently learned about it myself.

@@DiligentDave1966 thank you for sharing. I haven't tried the CP batteries either.. too cheap to buy new batteries. Lol. But for sure the bigger batteries put out more power. You can feel the difference.

@@UncleTinman Like I said, the cp 3 amp batteries are actually lighter and more compact than the xc 5 amp batteries. Unless you got the xc batteries in a kit with the tool, the cp batteries aren’t much more expensive. In fact, Home Depot has the cp 3.0 batteries on sale right now. You can get two for $99.

​@Diligent Dave The Torque Channel proved that the 3.0 batteries and the 5.0 batteries gave the same amount of torque on impact wrenches.

HD has some decent sales every so often.. I have a 3/8 m12 impact that is very handy. I guess depends on what you're mainly using it for. I generally use the 3/8 for smaller bolts 14mm and below.. and 1/2 for anything bigger. I keep that 1/2 impact in my car for road side emergencies.

@@UncleTinman Cool. I'm looking to get feedback on how folks utilize the various sizes because folks provide insight that I make me go uhmmmm...didn't think of that. I have the 3/8 ratchet that can be used on the smaller stuff, so just debating between the 1/2 or 3/8 mid torque wrench for the larger stuff. Thanks...

@@Methodical2 ratchet is great.. Ibuse mine all the time. But ratchet has it's place for fitment where impact can't get to, but impact has the speed. For your situation/question.. I'd probably go with the 1/2" so you have the extra torque when needed. That'd be my preference/suggestion

@@UncleTinman The 1/2 is what I am leaning towards. Thanks...

@@Methodical2 good choice. You won't be disappointed

Great video BTW. I very much enjoyed watching.

Thank you for your kind words and suggestion. I had a 5a on charge. Should have waited for that to charge up to see if it would have worked. The socket I was using was a heavier weighted one already. I'm mainly going to just keep that in my car to use for wheels when towing a trailer, so it's more than adequate for what I need it for.

@@UncleTinman I agree, this impact is suited for jobs such as wheels and brake changes. Allowing it to be compact and very strong. I know this video was for educational and entertainment purposes. I don't own a truck so my mid torque stays at home. I have the stubby with a 4.0 that comes with me in vechicle.

@@SnD340 I have a stubby as well.. when I first got it.. it felt amazing, now it feels under powered. I'll have to try it with a bigger battery and see if it's any better

High Output batteries do nothing for the performance. They only last longer on these model. As it does most the heavy hitting in the first 15 seconds. Why the CP 3.0 is the best match for this gun...

The socket 100% makes a difference... as well as the battery.

Thank you for your reply. I'll have to double check next time.

ACTUALLY.. I just looked it up on Milwaukee's website... mode 4.."auto".... quote from milwaukee website... "Mode 4 also features Bolt Removal Control that delivers you full torque output, then decreases RPMs once the bolt is loosened to prevent fastener drops." www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/Power-Tools/Fastening/Impact-Wrenches/2962-20 So for all the replies that said it was the wrong setting or it should have been set at 3...

It was to showcase what the gun is capable of even with a smaller battery. Not everyone has a bigger battery. Most people will only have the kit batteries. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply.

So what setting should it have been on?

ACTUALLY.. I just looked it up on Milwaukee's website... mode 4.."auto".... quote from milwaukee website...

Thanks for your pointless reply. The point of the video was to show how effective the tool is even with a "weaker" battery.

I would say it depends on your usage. If you're doing alot of bigger nuts (wheel lugs, axle nuts) then I would go with the 1/2" option.
