We would love to see IR release something new again, but I'm not sure that will happen. They seem to have let their cordless lineup just sit idle. Thanks for watching.

Yes, IR had the industry wrapped for decades, but the cordless market is taking away the pneumatic market. IR cordless tools were great, but they haven't done anything new in years. Thanks for watching.

Great point! Thanks for watching.

2nd best after Makita's. (in this class as well as compact) IR has high torque. And Milwaukee has 1" and subcompact, at least until Dewalt's new 12V wrench is out, assuming it delivers on their claims.

Right on! Glad we could help. Thanks for watching.

still the #2 behind the newest kid on the block, from Japan. ;)

Loose battery usually not bad . Ive dealt with tight ones and you have to bang them or file and lube ( it can be a bitch). Sometimes loose is better and still gets the job done if you know what i mean.

@@spf-92.5 I use M18 Fuel tools including this impact in the video. All Milwaukee m18 tools have batteries that are tight and a little difficult to remove.

Man it seems like everyone talks about Milwaukee but they have no clue about the ir lol

You hit the nail right on the head brother! I own the W 5132 and the original W 7150. There would be no way that I would reach for my 5132 to crack something loose that has been tighten down to 400 foot pounds and above. If I know that I’m going to need to break out the judge that’s when the 5 Amp battery goes on the 7150. The 7150 has never let me down

We wish that IR would release something new again.Thanks for watching.

Only thing I heard from IR they are coming with battery power 3/4 gun

They don’t need to! IR made the necessary revisions to the most popular selling impacts which can be exemplified in the W 7152, W 5133, and the W5153. Sometime during the last decade a nut busting torque war started which I are decided that it was not even going to try to win. The cordless tools that they put out can get any job done. It is just a matter of using the right tool for the job. For example, that 33 mm socket of yours is axle nut Territory and when I take out axle nuts I’m not reaching for a mid torque impact, for that type of job I reach for my Ingersoll rand W 7150 high torque impact wrench which, has not lost a match against an axle nut in the seven years that I’ve owned it fantastic content though! Keep them coming and let’s see some more IR

i recently got the compact 1/2 inch milwaukee m18. thing is amazing. had rusted on tundra caliper bolts. even though i had to use a swivel socket, m18 ran that off very quickly. highly recommend. or even the mid torque since it's still pretty compact compare to snappy 3/8 or 1/2 inch impact

They're definitely top-tier runners for sure. Thanks for watching.

YES!! We've been saying that for years. Thanks for watching.

The half-inch version of the Milwaukee Gen-2 mid-torque impact (model 2962) has 650ft-lbs breakaway. I haven't been able to find a fastener on a passenger car that it couldn't remove. Suspension, crank bolts, you name it. The high-torque impacts have their place, but are hardly ever needed in day to day practice now that the mid-torques have gotten so powerful.

I live in Minnesota and the mid torque is not powerful enough for the lugs because of rust

I removed the Honda crank pulley bolt with the Milwaukee mid torque 3/8 using the Lisle 19mm socket wit adapter..axle nuts are also a piece of cake with the Milwaukee mid torque

@@Gshock714 Yep, the Milwaukee mid-torque doesn't even break a sweat with that stuff. They're great.

Ive been using the mid torque for just one years work toyota flat rate. I grab my air tools more often because the weight of the ingersoll is to much for the power output. Also, the grip is already swelling. That 6 ounce and extra power the Milwaukee has is where it at I think.

Excellent, thanks for watching.

@@Shoptoolreviews thanks again for the work you do for us all

That's the HYTORC Lion torque guns. They're awesome, but they're pretty expensive. I'll post the video review of them below. Thanks for watching. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r6d8ec5735bNg6c.html

Why? Look at makita man, their new compact XWT14Z can put up 330ft/lbs fastening in 10 seconds, the GWT04Z compact can do 350ft/lbs. the 40V mid torque makita can do 550ft/lbs in tightening and they are well built tools.

You're just trying to be nice. lol.

You are correct, way beyond the needs of a 3/8" anvil. The IR light is 2nd to none. Thanks for watching.

7152 stomps.

@@juanc5149 I did not understand you well .... please say again.

In my experience, both of them will take off whatever they’re put up against but the Milwaukee takes it off quicker. That’s the only difference I’ve seen with them. They’re both awesome power tools and it really comes down to your preference and what tool platform you already have.

@@AlexMaysonet Are you sure that Ingersol is not more powerful and exactly the 7152 model?

@@naikotechnic7315 I mean, on paper it produces 100 more lb-ft of torque than the Milwaukee and yes, it is the W7152 model.

There are no manufacturers or tool brands that tell us what to say. You only get the truth from us...and a few mistakes here and there, but we'll own up to those too. Thanks for watching.

All 18V batteries when fully charged will read 20V. There’s no voltage difference between “18V” and “20V” batteries. Same number of cells in series to create 18V. When charged all the way up, they read 20V, once they’re used a little, they read 18 nominal volts. Thanks for watching

What the original poster said. "20V" is just a marketing gimmick.

@@slylockfox85 i guess 12v is a marketing gimmick because under load its 10.3v

@@Shoptoolreviews yessir

@@loucifer323 The voltage referenced above is a "no load" voltage. That's why it's considered a gimmick. Go look it up. Power tool companies sued each other for false advertising in the past because of these "20v" claims.

HYTORC Lion Torque Setter. It's very accurate.

The LED light ring could’ve been dirty on the Ingersoll rand or it was not on its brightest setting. The task light feature of that tool can be adjusted to a low med and maximum brightness setting. You throw the forward reverse switch into neutral and press the trigger and it will adjust the brightness settings.

Why? We just torque tested it.

Thanks for sharing. That's great info. Can't blame you for trusting Makita, they make some great tools. Yes, we would love to see the XWT17 in a 3/8" as well. Thanks for watching.

I do wish that IR would release more tools. They seem to sit on tools for extended amounts of time. Thanks for watching.

Did you even watch and listen to the video before you made your comment?! I would venture to say, that's a No. In the video, I explain in detail why we're using the socket and adapter that we are. Let me repeat myself for the 12-hundreth time. These are 3/8" drive impact wrenches. The amount of power they deliver requires fasteners that are at least 7/8" in diameter. This means the nuts are 33mm. You can NOT find a 3/8" drive 33mm socket. THEREFORE, we have to use an adapter. To mitigate any torque loss, we have welded the adapter to the socket. We are also using the same socket and adapter for both tools. This makes it perfectly fair. Also, you can tell by the length of the bolts that we require a deep socket. No shallow socket will fit this. Nonetheless, thanks for watching.

@@Shoptoolreviews 33 mm then you would use a 1/2 gun like I said right tool for the job there’s a reason it’s hard to get a 3/8 33 mm don’t ya think??? But the videos are always nice to watch 👍

@@Shoptoolreviews 🤣 me after reading this.... great videos!
