milwaukee 1/2 impact

[Kain]

the thing says 1400 ftlbs of torque and i paid 200 for the tool 50 for a 5 amp hour battery

Has anyone used one? have a ridgid but its nowhere near that bet its 400 if that.

 

[Bent77]

I have one. It folded up one of my pullers

 

[TuckerK5]

I love mine but 1400 sounds a little optimistic to me.

Edit: I have the 3/8 and 1/2 drive.

When I said 1400 sounds optimistic I was thinking of the 3/8.

The 1/2 skeers me when I use it to change my lawnmower blades. I think it might strip something out pretty quick.

I use one every day. First one had to be repaired under warrenty after about 18 months. Very strong and I have removed bolts a lot of people thought it would never remove.

 

[Fastereddie]

I have one at home and one at work. Friking beast man. I haven’t used my I.R. since.

 

[83ChevyK5Blazer]

We use them at work, very impressed by some of the bolts it has removed.

 

[fastazz81]

Me and several other guys at work have them , usually don’t hear air tools much any more.

They are great!

Be careful with it. It will way over torque lug nuts, and break shit!

Use the 1/2 impact and the hex bit impact version every day at work. Beat the piss outa them. The Milwaukee stuff is pretty nice.

Yep. One of my best garage purchases to date.

I bought one in 2013 and it's still going strong. I can't think of anything it hasn't been able to get free. I found a good price on a 9.0ah battery a while back and that makes it even better. It comes with me on every wheeling trip.

Hell I’m still happy with the previous “weaker” generation

 

[Kain]

Well I picked up a 9amp hour battery and a rapid charger for 140

Now I'm lusting after the 12ah

You gotta watch the Milwaukee site for when they do the free battery deals. That's the only way to purchase the tools. We have some of the 28 volt Milwaukee stuff at work. The sawzall in 28 volt is a beast.

 

[Abusfullofnuns]

I'm due for a new 3/8" and 1/2". Where do I look for the deals?

The 1/2” is kick ass....I never try to torque something with it though for fear of easily going to far and snapping a fastener.

I work at a power plant and I checked all over when I bought mine through places we had accounts with. Milwaukee themselves had the best prices online. That was a year or so ago.

I found a guy that sells new used and refurbished ones . The one I got was new in box.

I got a bag from harbor freight to keep it in
