I had to bring it to a dewalt service center (which is 40 miles away from my locaton) to make sure that it is working as expected. From the feel alone while using it, it was far more powerful than dewalt. The dewalt was my first choice because its specs says it has 345ft/lbs of torque compared to the milwaukee of only 300.
Then I ordered the milwaukee from amazon(unfortunately it was only my second choice since it was less powerful than dewalt per spcs). I hope this review will help those of you who are in a quandary of choosing what the best impact wrench for personal use to buy. It arrived just in time and it loosened all my lug nuts incredibly with ease.
I ordered this milwaukee after returning a dewalt impact wrench from another seller. I decided to return it since I don't have any use for it except for rotating and changing tires of my cars, and of course I paid for the return shipping since there was nothing wrong with it. Make no mistake like I did and save some bucks by going with MILWAUKEE.
But sad to say the dewalt can't even loosen the hand tightened lug nuts of my SUV. Expectedly I was told it was working perfectly.
Like Milwakee, It Is a High Quality Tool. But They Never Let Me Down. Sometime's Not Putting Them Down. But You Do Not Have To Replace It For Y-E-A-R-S. But Milwakee Build's A Great Tool That Will Last You for Year's To Come, with Out ever Wondering If it Will Work The Next Time You Pick It Up. You Cannot Go Wrong With This Brand.
So instead Of Spending Your Hard Earned Money On Cheap Tool's, and Having To Replace Every Little Bit. You can Buy Cheap tool's, and I Have. But Never Got Any Use Out Of Them. But That's The Life Of a Tool.
Polish And Wipe Off Every Time I Use. and That's The Truth. I've Dropped Them, and Hard. Just Buy A Milwakee And You May Have It a Lifetime.Thank's for Reading, God Bless
And Continuos For Hard day's Work. And It Work's Great Every Time You Pick It Up To Use. Use Them Hard. So I Started Buying Tool's That Cost A Little More, And started Getting some Use Out Of Them.
They Are Tough. About Like i Care For My First Born. It May Cost more. Which I take Care Of My Tool's Anyway.
Great pricing and very reasonable shipping rates. To date tool has paid for itself in reduced labor costs. Could not be happier. Wanted to purchase impact gun for years. Finally decided to buy one.
Sorry, I can't review this wrench.It and all my other tools were nabbedby some unscrupled fool.The case looked good as well as the tool.They must have needed it more than me.
I also like it over the rocker switch since it is similar to working a drill. With the current $25 discount for purchases over $199, it only makes sense to spend a little more and get a lot more.I'll be using it again for mounting a tow hitch and other general automotive work. I originally purchased the Milwaukee to remove the crankshaft pulley bolt on my Honda, but couldn't get it off the first time. As it turns out, even the garage air impact wrench had a little trouble and that guy could deliver 600 ft-lb or torque. The sockets only add to the value since these can get expensive. The lowest torque is 100 ft-lb and I guessed when torquing the crankshaft bolt to 130 ft-lb. The first big thing I liked is the variable speed which is nice when you just want to snug-up a nut or bolt.
This may be minor, but being that I'm not using the tool all of the time, it's nice to have it nicely packed away and ready to grab when needed. The last thing I liked about the kit is that it comes with a case and a few sockets.
How much torque applied depends on how hard you push on the tool. Again, this is a directional switch similar to a drill.
The garage torqued it way too much the last time I had the timing belt changed so I paid a local garage mech ten dollars to break it free. The second big thing I liked about the wrench is the switch for switching between forward and reverse.
Well worth buying. He retorqued it enough to get home and I was able to do everything else just fine.Everything else went well and the Milwuakee had no trouble removing lug nuts and other nuts/bolts.
That and a little Medium grade Loktite should keep things nice and tight until the next time.There are similar models, but there are several things I like about this impact wrench above the others.
