I Wonder If You Actually Used An Impact Socket If It Would've Came Loose

@ChallengeTheBuild

Its very possible, however two things.. #1. I don't have 3/8 drive impact sockets and #2. I didn't have the space to run my 1/2" impact with 3/8 to 1/2 adapter. Regardless I got it with the 18v 💪😁

I bought the ratchet in 1/2” with a reducer to 3/8 which it pretty much stays. But its nice to remove the reducer and run the impact sockets, however my unit does not let go of the sockets at all, weird seeing you jumping around so much.

Impressive, considering you did not use penetrating fluid or heat as you mentioned. I wonder if the stubborn bolt might have busted loose using the 6 ah battery? I am leaning towards buying this tool. Nice real world test!

I absolutely love this ratchet! I've used it a lot since this video and it continues to perform well. A good set of impact sockets probably would've helped my situation on the stubborn bolt, it just needed a tad more umph💪, M12@220ft lbs vs. M18@250ft lbs. It is a little bulky but so far that hasn't been much of an issue. I would recommend buying the 3/8" version because the 1/2" version does not offer anymore benefits in additional torque🤷‍♂️ Overall in my opinion its worth the investment, especially if you already use and have Milwaukee tools.👍

I just bought one of these, Home Depot has them for $199 with a free 2.5 amp battery vs $229 for the bare tool in the store. I already own the 1/2" version, I work on both semis and cars, and have a use for both regarding the impact sockets I own. I was using the 1/2" yesterday, working on a Cummins ISX motor repairing a bad delete, and it saved my bacon between the motor and the frame rail.

@@michaelwright1602 Lot of people say the 1/2 inch has more power. The torque test channel did a test on their dynometer and the 3/8 won on the 15 sect test, while the 1/2 inch hit harder and won on the 5 sec test (which matters more to me). However, the dynometer only measures the motor (rotational force), while the head design is just as important. A test on that would show a graph with a peak reading, then next reading at 0, and next again showing a peak reading, and again back to zero for a completely different graph. I prefer REAL TESTS on REAL NUTS, and keep the nut sizes similar (different coefficient for friction otherwise), reducing all vaiables. The tests below are quite similar, similar bolt sizes, but the 3/8 had an adapter. The 1/2 inch did 350 ft lbs, and the Toyota guy got to 311 ft lbs (3/8 odel) and his torque wrench could not go further. I am sure both would do pretty similar. I went with 1/2 inch, because I wanted to handle sockets from 10-39mm in my set without adapters which increases length . The 3/8 is limited to 8-19mm, and then you need adapter, which are always hard to find in the tool box. Check the vids below, and I included the Kobalt, which only made 300 ft lbs when tested on the same bench at Shop Tool Reviews. The key is to use big batteries. My guess, the Milwaukee 3/8 won on the 15 sec test because lighter sockets meant it reached a higher rotational speed, while the 1/2 inch won in the 5 secs test because the sockets are bigger (and anvil), so it hit harder in the beginning, but due to extra weight of the sockets could not achieve the higher rotational speeds from the 3/8. kzread.info/dash/bejne/dZeiktSYmdy6g7A.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/e3ip1rasZ66re7g.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/iICIpcOdpdfcktI.html

@@vancamper7650 Well, I used both on a 2009 Cummins CM-871 ISX, the 1/2" worked on one bolt. So it did work, but, running along the same cover, the 3/8" was able to take off the rest that the 1/2" failed at, using the same battery. I remember because it pissed me off. These were 13mm fasteners.

Plus its fast,

Won’t it perform better if u use impacts sockets combined with 6 amp battery?

If you had the 6 amp battery, you would have had a lot more power. The small 2 ad 3 amp batteries are garbage, except for light work.

UPDATE! I received the 1/2" and used it, it failed, only removed one bolt. I returned and exchanged for the 3/8" model, I used it today on a Cummins ISX CM-871 to remove the oil cooler housing. It runs the entire length of the motor, and is darn close to the frame rail, 20 16mm fasteners in all. My 3.8" stubby was not much help. So, I went out to the car, just got that thing from HD the other day, still in the box... Unwrapped it, through in a Chinese knock off 6 amp battery and slapped on the 3/8 to 1/2" adapter and 16mm impact socket and went to town! This 3/8" right angle removed all but one bolt. Instead of using a gasket on that housing, they loaded it up with RTV. Each bolt was covered in the stuff, every hole was full. The last bolt, the one it could not remove, was a real bugger, I used my 2 foot long 1/2" ratchet on that one, and it was really gummed up with RTV, I could see why the right angle would not remove it. Saved my bacon today time wise, it is a keeper! But, what get's me, is why are the 3/8" version is seemingly more powerful than the larger 1/2"? They are identical other than the anvil, must be some sort of physics thing I guess...

Man! This is awesome stuff! I really appreciate you taking the time to write such a review of your experience. Hopefully it will help out fellow builders of any kind that may watch this video/review. As for the tool, I myself looked at the specs between the 3/8" and 1/2" and was surprised the 1/2" did not have more power 💪🧐🤷‍♂️(I wish it did) but quickly realized the ratchet was exactly the same minus the 1/2 anvil...🤷‍♂️. Guess it just gives the user the option depending on field of work (not that it really makes a difference). I also compared it the the m12 stubby 3/8 impact to find the stuby only offers 30ft lbs more I think(which does help). Regardless the right angle impact ratchet is not exactly an everyday use tool 🤷‍♂️ , BUT it is definitely one to have in the tool box, because you just never know🤔😏💪!!! #ChallengeTheBuild

I'm sure a lot of people do, me being one of them. I realize they make impact sockets however I do not own 3/8 drive impact sockets (yet) and the right angle impact (in my opinion) does not put out enough torque to break a normal socket. I have been using regular sockets for ever and still have not broken one using impact drivers of any kind. I also realize that impact sockets are designed to help transfer the impact to the desired location to help break a bolt free, again I don't have 3/8 drive impact sockets. Now if I was using my 2767 high torque I would be using impact sockets (most likely)...😁 Thanks for watching and commenting.
