The Forge actually has a little more power than a 12ah. Torque Test Channel did a video and it has about 13.6ah power. The best thing about the battery is that it has double the life time. It can be charged 2000 times compared to 1000 of the other 6ah

My impact runs a lot cooler with the forge battery versus the high output 6.0

Why would you be using a big 6.0 on an impact driver to begin with? Impacts don't need a lot of power to make power, usually have 2.0,3.0 or 5.0 at highest on mine. Either way the Forge does have great output if you watch some test videos.

Weight is a major factor for me with arthritis. Use the smallest one and replace as needed if possible

Is this just a change from 18650s to 21700s? 21700 cells can output 40+ amps for some of them. They run cooler, and have a higher capacity. Very little technical information in the video.

The short charging time when your doing heavy grinding and drilling is worth every penny!

Did you know the Milwaukee shockwave bits sleeve can mount directly to your driver belt clip screw????

Yo ive made a couple video on my channel demonstrating the power of the forge againts the old tech high output

Link for the bit holder attachment?

And I'm buying the new 8 and 12 amp FORGE BATTERY has soon as they come out only $450 not a bad Deal I'm getting

Firstlu,8.0s and 12.0s aren't designed for use on a little impact driver, and won't give much more of anything beneficial over a 6.0. The 5.0s are outdated 18650 batteries and are all but given away at this point. Of course 21700 cells are more powerful , charge more efficient, last longer, and have more "umpth" at the expense of a bit of size/weight; well worth it in my opinion. But a little driver like that was never intended to carry an 8 or 12 as there's no real benefit from using one in that application. Stick that 12 in your job light, and a 6 or cp3.0 on that impact driver- be happy lol. Also those 8/12 are notorious for dropping cells giving the dreaded 3 BAR. so ypu really shouldn't be buying them at this point at ALL. old news, old tech, forge is 100% the way to go

The forge is the shit its worth especially if u got a super charger

All high end name brand batteries are made in China so yeah China makes the best.

That nonsense 12.0 on an impact can get some shit done though 🔥

I have many 5.0. I'm Good to Go !

What’s the cost vs the standard 6.0?

I got a forge,it works great for my heat gun

Your impact looks new...

One these days ill upgrade but not anytime soon

I prefer smaller batteries on handheld tools, but I just can't bring myself to spend that much money on something that's only marginally better 😮

My personal opinion and also looks like a lot of other people feel the same way for an impact driver like the one shown in the video alls you need is a CP 3.0 high output the smallest high output that they make for the 18 volt.

Dewalt wins smallest battery 1.7 high output buy 2

Depends on the tool

If you use your impact or drill with anything then the 3.0 high out put, your doing too much

Forge wins.

Is new technology better than old technology 🤔 🤦‍♂️😆

There is no reason to put that powerfull battery on a driver, you gain absolutely nothing

High output is not for drills. More designed for saws and high amp devices. You will stall out the drill

This showed nothing besides " it weighs less". Useless.

M12 for me all day hoss, yknow what even for that extra weight saving, only a 2.5 high output, not bc im weak but becauee my arms could definitely use that energy much more doing something better than swinging around lithium😂

This is nonsense 😂

I only use 3.0 high output for my impact drill.

Why would you run a 5 on your impact? That makes me think you dont use tools
