Milwaukee M12 Hex to 1/4" Impact Conversion

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I purchased a tool bundle on sale with intentions on keeping the battery and returning the tool, but my tool addiction got the best of me. In this video I swap in a different anvil to turn a Milwaukee M12 impact from a 1/4" hex to a 1/4" drive.
Part number for the replacement anvil is 42-06-2552

    Cool idea! I picked up the same deal and this little 1/4" drive impact rips. I used a 1/4" drive to 1/2" socket adapter and easily broke loose an old rusty trailer hitch nut. Its crazy what these little tools can do today.

    Thanks! I have the M18 1/4” hex impact and I find myself grabbing the M12 version every time over the M18. It’s such an awesome little tool.

    It has to be a purchase that says “free battery” or “free tool”. You add the one item to the cart and then select the free item. It’s important that on the invoice and in the cart it shows as two separate items. It should show you the reduced price for each item in the cart. So you check out and pay, then when it’s shipped to your house you bring the item that you don’t want along with your online receipt in to a Home Depot store and ask to return just the one item. I’ve heard other ways where you have each item shipped to a different store and only pick up what you want and they will automatically refund you for the other item after a certain timeframe. I’ve also heard of people placing an online order and then contacting customer support within 45 minutes and have them cancel the item that you don’t want. I’ve only done the first method.

    @@LucidAutowerks Hey man, thanks for breaking down the process for me. I actually inadvertently discovered this hack the other week when I purchased the 1/4 m12 fuel impact driver + m12 Fuel high speed 3./8 ratchet for $250 + a 2.5 amp battery and saw the battery on the receipt separately for ~$52. seemed like a good deal at the time. My question was that when I click on the m12 1/4 impact driver bare tool, it gives me an option for free battery but it's only the smaller battery, 2.0 or 2.5 I cant remember. How did you get it to populate with the 6.0 battery ?

    The 6.0 deal was only around for a very short time. It popped up, I missed it, and then it popped up for a day or two again. The cart was actually a screenshot from the Tool Deals KZread channel. It’s worth it to subscribe. He also has a facebook group that people post a lot of deals on. You can also usually find them all on Slickdeals. Just search Slickdeals for “Milwaukee” 👍🏼

    Not 100% sure but judging by the part diagrams and pictures of the anvils online it kinda looks like you’d need to modify it like when doing the M18 1/2” conversion. I’m going to order a couple of anvils and see what I can do.
