Youtubers Made the Smallest, Fastest Impact Wrenches on the Planet, We Test 'Em!

How goes is Milwaukee's new Gen 4 Impact Driver 2953-20 when you swap a 1/2" anvil into it? Or for an even smaller package, a DeWalt DCF850 for that matter? Are they better than the sum of their parts, can they take on our secret final boss? Find out on today's TTC!

Going to have to split the impacts into two categories now; stock and warranty voided (or extra spicy).

This new MOD list is going to get a lot of action. This is going to be FUN!

[swensdawg]

All of these are complete abominations and I am totally here for it.

As soon as you said there was a mystery tool I knew it must be John’s custom Kobalt. So glad you finally got around to testing it!

[ThunderGoatz]

I love the disparity between these and the nitro 2 stroke impact. Exploring both ends of the spectrum I love it ❤️

[Precisionreelworks]

Watching these videos make me think the Gen3 is going to go down in history as one of the best ever tools Milwaukee has made

I did the mod on the 850, and it is outstanding. 100% worth it

I modded my older DCF 886 into a 3/8 wrench. It successfully removed proper 80 ft/lb lug nuts and loosened rusty brake fittings.

Once again great video TTC. Loved seeing that XTR

[falunbrick]

I have a gen 3 Frankenstein I built, I'm a heavy truck technician by trade, a half inch snap on air impact wouldn't remove maxxforce 13 head bolts and the gen 3 Frankenstein blasted all of them out with ease with a xc5.0 battery

Thanks fellas! Nice to see guys out there modding these tools and TTC testing them.

[justmeonlyme]

All you modders, FANTASTIC work!
Thank you for the video, very fun watching!

[jasonthomas]

I guess it should be no surprise to me that people modify off the shelf impact wrenches since I modify chainsaws and vehicles. But, I never would have thought about doing this.

Would love to see this on the 12v models. The latest m12 impact driver, modded with 3/8 anvil swap. We want the smallest tool, made into a wrench

[trailblazer]

Idk I find myself grabbing that rigid sub compact more often than even my 1/2in big guns and it always impresses me. She's a mean little bugger for the size.

[rondotterer]

I appreciate how thorough and scientific you are in testing.

[paranoiia]

It's so small - she said
But so powerful - he said

[enthused]

The M12 stubby is just the sweet spot for these compact impact wrenches, I just wish they weren't so wildly overpriced. $199 for a tiny 12 volt impact is bonkers. I could see $149 max.

[chikunman]

i have a Ridgid SubCompact 3/8 drive impact. I love it, it does everything i ask. I did an entire engine replacement on an X3 B58 engine with it. Subframe bolts, suspension bolts, flywheel and torque converter bolts, etc. Only thing it obviously couldnt handle were the axle bolts. Been contemplating getting the 1/2 inch version as well

Hi, my 850 is off the hook with performance especially for kitchen cabinets excellent for tight spaces, I have my 921 when I need to drive lag bolts, excellent video as always both tools are great with the swops,
