New Milwaukee Stubby Impact Wrench Breaks Records, BUT High Speed Footage says..

The new Milwaukee 2562 and 2563 M12 Gen 2 Stubby impact is finally here, and it came to play. How does it compare to the old model, to DeWALT's top DCF921 and against what our dyno numbers and high speed camera seem to see as its Achilles heal.

As a graphic designer, web developer, I've never worked with torque power tools, and yet here I am, every friday, enjoying these videos.

If any company wants to send you something pre- release, take it and then wait for it to be released and buy one to test them head to head.

brother, i gotta say i appreciate your effort to stay transparent and fair. it means a lot especially in this day and age, i'm sure many viewers feel the same. integrity seems so rare on youtube

[fireshot]

Thank you for testing all the battery size types! No other channel has tried this

[TOOL_TECHNICAL]

the honesty of cancelling your order to avoid an over-built version straight from Milwaukee is well done. 1st waves to big channels are usually really beefed up and the ones on the shelf can be nice but not always whats on paper advertised.

That was a rollercoaster. When I started watching I was thinking "oh no, I'm gonna have to replace my M12 stubby if there's a new model with double the beans", but by the end of the video I'm very happy with what I have.

Thank you for the good work you do!

They absolutely met their claims. But they didn't get there with magic and pixie dust. There was some serious engineering and some compromise to get there. Weather or not it's worth it is up to the individual purchasing it. One of the coolest and most complete tests I've ever seen.

[MrKweezy]

Next time that happens with the manufacturer samples, you should accept the sample tool and then test it versus one you bought from a physical retailer to see if any oems are playing games

[carloseduardomartinezjimen]

Finally we get to SEE an objective perspective of this tool

[FunkFPV]

LoL at Milwaukee trying to back channel you a test unit 😂
It looks like a pretty good tool. I’ll have to pick one up and see how I like it compared to my old DeWalt.

[realandrewhatfield]

Finally! Am I the only one that feels the brand trying to sneak you pre-release tools a bit scammy??? Seriously good numbers though!

[Pippy]

Ive avoided every single other video about the new stubby until this one came out. This blew away even my wildest expectations and since i already run a 5ah on my gen 1 it seems like a no brainer

[wyattp]

It might have been interesting to see if they sent you a "golden" sample compared to the retail one.

[cyclechris]

Incredible graphics for easy comparison, absolutely genius on your part. Thanks so much!❤

[ParchmentKHftw]

This video was seriously one of your best ever. I really appreciate the work you do. You're a game changer for the industry.

I use a gen one in the real world as a mechanic and have done for 3 years now. And I still argue its the best dang impact wrench I've ever bought. What it will spin off, still after 3 years, impresses me. Its light and gets almost anywhere, I rarely go for my 1/2" M18 wrench unless its something really big or stupidly tight. I doubt I'll be going for this new one because that trigger switch thing just looks annoying as hell to use and I'm not keen on forking out for more battery tech tbh. Great video as always

[PhillyFixed]

Wow, this is an impressive tool. One thing Milwaukee has a record of is superior power/size ratio. I hope it proves to be durable long term as well.

[anythingandeverything]

I work as an emergency roadside mechanic. Only reason i plan for the upgrade is simple... In my line of work more light in the dark is always better and more power in the same package is nice when your trying to limit how much space your using on the truck. I rarely burn through a battery on a job unless im using my grinder or my drill so its no problem for someone like me to keep 1 battery married to the gun so i keep the added power benefits.

[ImPurrry]

As someone who likes to use the 2.5 battery on the 1st generation, a near 100 ft Ibs gain for practically the same footprint is impressive. It also makes more than the DeWalt which is obviously bigger while also being restricted on power. If Milwaukee makes a forge M12 batteries which I pray they do, I fear what this little stubby could do to the point where I honestly think it would break.

Those 5 amp HO batteries are $70 on Amazon. They’re OEM. I’ve bought 3 of them and opened them up to make sure they have the new Samsung cells and they do.
