Milwaukee Tool M12 FUEL 3/8' & 1/2' Right Angle Impact Wrench Review | New Favorite Tool! 2564 2565

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The New Milwaukee Tool M12 FUEL 3/8" & 1/2' Right Angle Impact Wrenches have 220 ft-lbs. of torque, while removing bolts and fasteners. Milwaukee Tool claims 200 ft-lbs. for torque when tightening.

The 4-Mode Drive Control is changed with a button on the back of the tool and allows for adjustments for precision control. In Mode 4, this tool is equipped with Auto Shut-off Mode in forward and Bolt Removal Mode in reverse.

Like all other Milwaukee M12 tools, the battery fuel gauge is located on the tool in plain sight for the user.

- 2.2" head profile and 14.17" length
- 4 Modes
Mode 1 RPMs: 0-1,550 IPMs: 0-1,350
Mode 2 RPMs: 0-2,300 IPMs: 0-2,700
Mode 3 RPMs: 0-3,000 IPMs: 0-3,600
Mode 4 RPMs: 0-3,000 IPMs: 0-3,600
Mode 4 has an Auto shut-off mode to prevent over-tightening and increases productivity by applying no more than 15 ft-lbs. of torque. It has a Bolt-removal mode in reverse that offers more control after bolt breakaway as RPMs drastically slow down once the bolt is loosened.

Finally a video of someone not bashing this tool for not being able to remove diesel truck lugs, and a user that understands the tools uses. Love your reviews, always worth watching! 👍👍

Got myself the 1/2 version and used it to remove brake callipers in seconds. Sneaking inside tight spots makes this unit brilliant. But most fasterners are tackled with my stubbies when there's room for them. This tool is limited in its application but your happy you got one when it's called for.

The weighted sockets most definitely work. It’s amazing what they are capable of !!!

[AutobahnDan]

The 6.0 batteries do make a difference, but you’re gonna be chattering away at large fasteners and wearing out impact sockets faster. I am seeing this more as a unit to get into tighter spots on smaller fasteners where a small impact gun won’t fit. The stubby air impacts are still good for the large fasteners though..

I feel as if the Right Angle Impact Wrench will help a lot with suspension bolts, crank pulley bolts, and maybe even motor mount bolts 🤔 Small enough to fit in some tight spaces, and packs a punch! 💥👊

I'm gonna get this vs the stubbies now as i have the 1/2 mid-torque, 1/2 high torque & 3/8 ratchet. As i perform a lot of maintenance repairs, this will come in super handy as a mobile tech!

After watching this, I ordered one even though I'm on the DeWalt platform. It is really nice for brakes and wheel bearing hubs. My only complaint is the head is a little bulky.

[FredrickII]

Thanks for the review. This is an excellent impact. Just got one this week and have used it successfully on an alternator, pulley and water pump job. There wasn’t enough space for even a Milwaukee stubby M12 impact, but the new 3/8 right angle impact fit perfectly between the alternator and radiator.

Yo I'm gonna tell you that impact is so awesome, I had a suspension job to do and with that impact it cut so much time off, it fit in places where I gotta put a extension and a swivel with my 1/2 impact. Awesome 👌.

That IR socket is interesting but looks like you'll need the clearance to use it. A few years ago Youtuber Singlecams welded some extra weight on a standard 1/2" socket. It did indeed hit harder than the socket without the added weight, kind of like the heavier socket they sell for removing Honda crank bolts.

[normanfortin]

Another thing that affects torque is how snugly the socket fits on the anvil and the fastener. Any rotational play on at either will rob you of torque. You will notice a big difference in the amount of torque can get between using an old, well used socket and a new, barely used socket of the same size, depth and brand.

Thank you for all your comprehensive reviews. I do want to make a mention, and I could be wrong, but take the torque wrench and secure the lug nut to 130 foot pounds, then using the same torque wrench, try to remove it at that torque setting.

When tightening a fastener, you form the metal to metal surface at the point you stop rotating the fastener, then you have to work that metal the other way and that requires a bit more added torque.

[AncapistanVan]

You gotta hold the trigger longer, it reaches peach torque after about 15 seconds, that's typical for small electric impacts, plus it would help to use a 6 ah battery. If you look closely, you can see the socket moving, just very slowly (tiny hammers).

[shiningstaer]

I’m gonna wait for the gen 2 on these, I really think they will shrink it down while strengthening

[mikimiki]

I let this guy work on my car any time of the day
#1 reason he starts lugnuts with hand first than finish them with impact 👍🏻👍🏻
Nothing drives me more crazy than people just using impact to screw lugnuts not using fingers to start them first

[gerfromireland]

I got one for Christmas and it has amazing power the other day it took off a 25 year old m12 19mm head bolt off an old volvo dumptruck without breaking a sweat

[Emtrthree]

The xc 4.0 and above will usually allow for it to use its full power, like the m18 line the top numbers are usually done with ho or xc 6.0 or 8.0ah

[keithbennett]

I run an ATV repair shop and I have the 3/8 and 1/2 in ratchets which are great but this angle impact changes everything, this tool breaks loose and removes the fastener .( no kick back) As for the 150 +/- torque in some situations I think it is rare to exceed that in normal use but we all know there will be exceptions . The 1/2 " ratchet I mentioned is rarely use on ATV's but it will jam your fingers constantly because of the kick back if you forget to anticipate the torque.

[marco]

I thought the same thing when I got mine but now that I've had almost two months I've noticed that my tools are hitting harder as they break in. Oh yeah I'm using XC batteries too the CP batteries are best for the ratchets.

[neffline]

If you use the large batteries you will have a lot more impact and power. I use the XC6.0 and it made a huge difference on my impact wrench (not the side angle).
