MilwaukeeElectric - M18 Fuel 1/2 HIGH Torque Impact Wrench W/FRICTI

Item was new in box with all promo/literature you would expect from a big box store, and saving about 25% on price. This is the biggest hand held impact Milwaukee offers and it delivers the nutbusting torque it promises on the box. I handled rusted lugnuts like they were playschool toys, removed stuck on harmonic balancers like they were wingnuts holding a child's swing set together. The fact that I could use my existing battery collection is a no brainer for anyone invested in the Milwaukee ecosystem. Buy Buy Buy. Sincerely, a YouTube certified mechanic.

As a dealership mechanic, I was hesitant to join the electric 1/2" impact party, but I finally took the plunge with this absolute beast. Equipped with red forge batteries, I've been using it for a week now and the batteries are still going strong at about half life. This tool effortlessly removes Honda crank bolts with a regular 19mm impact, making my job much easier. Unlike my old Snapon air 1/2", I no longer need a weighted socket to tackle those bolts. I am highly impressed with its performance and would highly recommend it to fellow mechanics.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This torque wrench is a true powerhouse when it comes to dealing with tough bolts and nuts. It has never failed to handle any bolt I've encountered, delivering unmatched torque while also offering multiple settings to prevent over-tightening. It has easily become one of my best tool investments in a while!

This tool is an absolute beast when it comes to tackling stubborn bolts and nuts. I have yet to encounter a bolt that it couldn't handle. The torque it delivers is simply unmatched, and the multiple settings prevent over-tightening. It has quickly become one of my favorite tool investments in a long time!

I recently purchased this tool primarily for removing lug nuts, and I must say that it delivers a very nice impact considering its price point. It works great for that purpose. However, when I tried using it on my nephew's Duramax to loosen the harmonic balance pulley bolt, it didn't quite have the power needed for that task. Despite this limitation, I still believe it is a great product overall.

Works great, I have several other Miliwaukee tools that use the same battery so it was a no brainer for me to get this one and I have not been disappointed. Much easier to use than an air tool and thus far has worked great on lugnuts, pulley nuts and so forth.

I tell you what, this son of a gun will make any tight bolt or nut wish it wasn't born. I haven't ran into a bolt that thos s.o.b hasn't gotten off. The torque this thing provides is off the charts, and the different settings helps you not over torque things. One of the best tool purchases i have made in a long while!

As a dealership mechanic, I was initially hesitant to join the electric 1/2” impact party, but I finally took the plunge. Concerned about battery life mid-job, I opted for the reliable red forge batteries. After a week of rigorous use, I am amazed that the batteries are still at half capacity. This beast of a tool effortlessly tackles Honda crank bolts with a standard 19mm impact, unlike my aging Snapon air 1/2” that requires a weighted socket for the same task. The power and ease of use of this electric impact wrench have truly impressed me, making my daily tasks much smoother and efficient. A game-changer in the world of dealership mechanics!
