I have this set .all my cordless is m18 fuel . Best cordless impact driver i have ever used and the hammer drill driver is great to .i use the drill where a lil more speed control and less power is needed with certain fastners but the three speed impact driver is pretty good when i dont wanna strip out the screws too. Very impressed in general with the m18 fuel line of tools .i have a bunch of them and am tryin to run a cordless jobsite as well when possible . Yup i am a pro carpenter for over 35 years and i am amazed with the progress cordless tools have made . Love your channel and the realistic reviews . Good job

First tool I bought was an M18 Fuel angle grinder. I can drill by hand and it will be waaay less of a pain than removing/cutting hardened steel (by hand)! I have, of course, gotten drills since then, but I still hold that a grinder is a natural no1 with an impact driver or impact wrench at a clear no2. PS, that pre-drilled log you shown is sort of a copy of what is known as a "Swedish fire torch", it concentrates fire in a very good way.

I've read and seen on KZfaq among various other sites the impact driver is flawed. The collet was engineered poorly. Bits have been falling out during multiple applications and functions. VCG Construction has several videos on this issue. Have you experienced these issues that many people continue to have?
@MarkThomasBuilder4 жыл бұрын
I've heard about that issue, but haven't had a problem yet. I rotate between several impacts, as I'm constantly testing different brands. I'll have to look into that some more and get back with you.

I haven't experienced it yet. Thats my only gripe and reason I wish I got the surge.

Wait! An impact that doesn’t hold a bit??? Sounds like a paperweight or a door stop.

Yes.....My Gen 3 impact has collet issues and all my Milwaukee gear have trigger issues apart from my fuel circular. It works then you put it down, pick it up again and it doesn't work. Many KZfaq videos about these issues. I really loved my Milwaukee gear at first after getting sucked in by all the hype. After a short time it all started playing up and working intermittently. Tried all my batteries but were the same. Sent it back to Milwaukee.....still the same. Switched to Hilti and find the SF6H A22 combi more powerful and better built. The Hilti impact isn't as powerful as the Gen3 but its much better built and much nicer to use......plus that 20 year warranty and 24 hour turnaround.

How do you like the trigger modulation on the impact driver, say for smaller fasteners like 3" deck screws? Is it easy enough to feather the trigger and keep good control and stay on speed 3?
@MarkThomasBuilder4 жыл бұрын
It works well for me. I feel that I have good control of the trigger.

Hi, thanks so much for your upload and for sharing love your content. Are they both the most current and powerful Milwaukee currently offers? I know you did say they are about 16 months old
@MarkThomasBuilder4 жыл бұрын
Thanks, yes these are the latest models that Milwaukee offers. I posted a video about their Pipeline online event where they're announcing the new tools August 20th.

this tools don't look likey they are months into use but more like factory new. Just a quick question, is this video sponsored?
@MarkThomasBuilder4 жыл бұрын
Yes, these are new tools that I put to the test. These tools were sent to me to demonstrate in my video, as I mentioned in my description. Once in awhile, I'll make a 1 year update on some tools.
@petepistachio82294 жыл бұрын
Of course it is. Red China gives their tools away to “influencers” and charge the sheeple at Cheapo for red ryobi.
