I went for the high torque for lug nuts on my truck, and I'm glad I did; it still takes a few seconds to remove them so I doubt the mid could do it at all. My tire shop was so impressed when they saw it that they talked about getting one for their service truck.

I really like my M12 fuel screw driver. I feel like the numerous torque settings makes it handy for fastening a variety of smaller screws that don't require an impact.

That's a nice collection to get almost any car repair job done.

I have decided that the extended reach 3/8” and 1/4” would do everything I need to as a diy home use for working on my Fk8 Type R. Bolt on mods like changing or adjusting ic piping on my fmic, brake pad snd rotor replacements, rear sway bars, suspension mods, fuel upgrades. As a former mobile electronics installer I do all my own audio installs so the 1/4” land 3/8” ong reach ratchets will be used to remove seats, seat belt nuts, removing dash sections, and interior panels. I returned the standard reach ratchets. I upgraded my chuckless cordless 12v Makitas which are 30 yrs old and the forward revert switch stopped working. The Dewalt 12v brushed cordless chuckless drill is still small enough to do any interior disassembly snd reassembly.

Thank you Brian this was a really informative, and helpful video to watch. You definitely put a few things in perspective for me as i am in the market right now for similar power tools. Yet again thank you, and keep up the awesome work.

I got the 1/2 high torque the stubby 3/8 and the high speed 1/4 rachet perfect combo in my opinion

I'm a DIY guy and my stubby and mid torque is all I need. Oh and my m12 screwdriver lol they work great. Both in 3/8 drive for light and heavy application. Don't need any more. 👌🏽👌🏽

Picked up the 2767 over the weekend before watching this - thought id grab the big boy first. Look forward to getting the extended and stubby which will be good enough set

I got an m12 stubby and it’s been amazing for me. I’m just a weekend warrior that likes to work on my personal cars so I’m not doing anything too heavy. For my purpose, the stubby is incredibly small and compact but packs a serious punch. Highly recommend

Great video. Very informative, straight to the point

right angle impact is my go to. installing tow hooks in tight areas. ratchets arent impacts. rai works for what its built for

The current mid torque is 600ft lbs removal. It wouldn't be a noticable mistake, but the NEW mids coming out in November are 650 ft lbs (and stubbier).

I use the M-12 in a 3/8” drive for everything it will handle. Then I go to the M-18 mid Torque, Gen 2, 1/2” Drive. These two handle 99% of everything I need. They get into tight areas and have power for days. I don’t have 1/4” drive impact tools or sockets but could see where it would be great to speed up interior work.

I just ordered the 3/8 mid-torque, can’t wait for it to come in!

I love my gen 2 mid torque. I almost dont need any other impacts. Surprised my coworkers (hard core pnuematic fanboys) with the torque and how compact it is

I just bought the Kolbalt high torque w 1 4 amp battery and charger for $200 dropped from $269 at Lowes. Its a beast in size and torque rating at 1200 ft lbs but idk if I’ll have actual use for it when my Milwaukee gen 3 mid torque does 650 ft lbs of break away force and has alot smaller form factor. Maybe when removing the axle nut I may need the extra torque to remove it but the mid torque can probably do the job.

thanks for this video, I love their line of tools but I am also on a budget

whats a good milwaukee tool for wheel hub bearings

I was seriously thinking about jumping over to Milwaukee for all my power tools but i wanted to give the Bosch GDX-1800c a try, its the "Freak" with 1/2" drive and a 1/4" hex inside of it. "1800" for how many inch pounds (149 ft/lbs). It came with a 2.0Ah battery which couldnt even take off half the lug nuts off a car which i knew where properly torqued to 140. Slapped on a 6.0Ah battery and the tool became alive and was able to do the job no problem. Then a few weeks later they had a clearance on a Bosch kit with the same drill plus a combo hammer drill and two Core18v batteries which have much larger cells (21700) like you would find in Milwaukee high output batteries that have a mich higher amperage. So i returned it and got the kit. The Core batteries completely changed the tool. Now i use it for everything and ill always have my 1/2" Blue-point for the real tuff stuff

As a college student who is on a tight budget, I'm hoping to slowly build my power tool collection. I'm going to slowly enter the M12 compact fuel line up but my question is this: If I could only pick one of the two options below, which would be the most versatile, best bang for the buck, and useful for basic car maintenance? Jobs like: front strut removal, tire rotation, manifold removal and home repairs (putting together furniture, mounting things to walls 1. M12 Fuel 1/4 impact driver kit + Socket adaptors (1/4, 3/8, 1/2) for impact sockets ($99 + 10) 2. M12 Fuel 3/8 impact wrench kit + 3/8 to 1/4 hex impact driver adaptor ($238 + 20) In a perfect world I would have both, but I was hoping to get your advice. I believe the impact driver would be the best for me, and i'm told the driver can take off lug nuts off a small car (my car has them torqued to 80ft/lb)

As a mechanic, if you are only going to own 1 Milwaukee tool M18 mid-torque is the way to go. Does 95% of the jobs you could ever want an impact wrench to do. If you are going to buy two tools get the M12 3/8 compact and swap out the M18 mid-torque for the M18 high torque. 3/8 on the compact because same power as the 1/2 but the sockets and extensions fit better in tight spaces. And don't buy the M18 compact, nearly the same size/price as the M18 mid-torque but a lot less power. Apart from that the M12 ratchet is probably next most important, would agree with long ratchet over normal length. Rotary cut-off tool is also a life saver, although if your shop has air lines would probably go for a cheaper air tool. And you'll need a drill, doesn't have to be the Fuel model though or even Milwaukee, go for what ever makes most sense for price, mechanics don't really need a heavy duty drill.

Never had to fix a car in my life....I remember the car tools thinking I can't get a air compressor ..but now I feel like it's the best time to buy tools. My boy spents 10 of thousands of dollars. I spent 100 dollars a tool on offer up. I'm waiting to get everything to go to my mechanic friend and just start working for no excuses and get the knowledge I need to know. I have the 1/2 high torque, 3/8 compact and 3/8 stubby and just regular ratchets. No wrenches yet. I have a pry bar I do construction so I have hand tools and impact drivers and bits also have a breaker bar. Do you think I can get started now without getting stuck? Was going to wait to get extended reach ratchet and die grinders and hex bits and some wrenches.. anything else am I missing. Torque wrenches I don't understand at all have to research. I just want to do a break flush change my breaks and my screen inside 😩 Really only reason why I brought all this is because I couldn't take a damn tire off of a bmw my car I brought a 4 way nut thing and none of them fit I don't know the fin size what hell.... put me on this journey.. only way I using these tools in my job is to bolt shit into ground really only.
