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)
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.
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.
Which Milwaukee impact would get a Transmission out and in easily?
Great video, explained the strengths and weaknesses of these tools. I am disappointed with the FUEL Ratchet, is too heavy but still not enough torque so would rather have the lighter non FUEL one or the newer M12 Impact Wrench.
Need to get the gen2 mid torque night and day difference
Bro you gotta get you some Tub-O-Towels and spend a few minutes loving on those workhorses
I like the way they look all dirty and used lol
Is it just me or is milwaukee always second best when put up again ingersoll rand
I cant live without my 3/8ths mid torque. I pull almost everything i need off with it. And its soo much lighter than my high torque. You dont think its that bad till your doing over head work all day (i pull transmissions all day long)
