Dyno Numbers on Milwaukee M12 Batteries: Which is Best?

The Milwaukee M12 2555-20 and 2565-20 compact and right angle impacts hit the dyno with an array of M12 FUEL batteries to see which ones are worth the coin for the torque they are able to generate with these tools.

Found y'all on YouTube about 1 or 2 months ago and I've watched every video you've made. Love the cut and dry straight to the testing approach. No fake enthusiasm, no heavy handed salesmanship. It's a great time coming home from work and seeing a new upload. Never change, TTC. And please do always stick around.

I’m super bummed you guys didn’t test the 3.0 three cell pack and the 3.0 six cell pack. That would have been the most interesting to see. If you even see this comment I have both of those batteries and I’d be happy to send them to you guys

I purchased the M12 impact wrench with a 6.0 battery a few months ago and have been very impressed with it. I wanted something smaller and lighter than my high torque. I figured the M12 would be good enough for 50% of what i needed a impact wrench for. To my surprise it’s been plenty powerful enough for >90% of my needs. I use the high torque so infrequently that I don’t keep a battery attached to it.

This channel has exploded. I cannot believe the number of subs. I started early around 3K and that wasn’t that long ago. Excellent content!!

After getting my m12 fuel ratchet I couldn't imagine life without it. Same to the compact m12 impact

Our local sources were all out of the 3.0's when we tested these, and we only had these 2 impacts for a day. Sorry to the 3.0 lovers!

[Binford]

These test mirror my anecdotal experience. The 2.0 won’t spin off the lugnuts on my wife’s SUV, but the 4.0 sure does. Great little compact impact for suspension work.

Really like my M12, with 2ah, and 4.0 batteries, it gets everything done I throw at it, would definitely suite any diy'er 98% of jobs they would come across.

[daifeichu]

Would love to see this test again if you get your hands on the new 2.5 and 5Ah HO batteries.

Video on those torque-limiting attachments? Are they accurate? Always well done videos.

[likeaboss]

They also offer a cp3.0 pack in the same form factor as the 2.0. Works really well with both of these tools for size/power

[mortimersnerdishere]

You ain't wrong on the right angle impact. The battery it comes with makes me dislike the tool. It won't break Subaru bellhousing bolts loose, the exact bolts I bought it for. Gonna go get the 6.0 and see if it wakes mine up. Thanks for all of your no nonsense videos!! 💯

Damn I was really hoping to see a compact 3.0 in this test. Would be really cool if you could do a cp3.0 vs xc3.0 to see if batteries in parallel preform worse than batteries in series. Or just a test of all of the compact batteries versus each other (1.5, 2.0, 3.0). Either way very cool video thank you for sharing

I’d like you to test out the M12 stubby again (you call it the M12 Compact Impact), except this time, with the M12 CP 3.0 battery, and M12 XC 3.0 battery. I’ve always been curious if the CP 3.0 would make a good compromise for its size, but with just enough juice that would be very close to a XC 4.0 battery.

[JonathanSias]

I'm my personal experience, the 4.0 will carry these m12 tools harder and longer than any amount of 2.0. Glad to see the torque dyno tell the same story!

[leerob]

This couldn’t have come at a more perfect time gentlemen! I was considering the right angle just today! Crazy. I’m going to take my finger off that trigger and wait patiently, with beans on😉, for the hard facts, figures and beans you guys seamlessly provide. I thank everyone in the “TTC Cool Crew”for the time and effort it takes to give us all nine +++ minutes of the pure, hard, un salted, un sweetened, beans.

P.S. HUGE shout out to the beans timer!! She’s showing wear and tear as that start button has granted wished, opened eyes, crushed dreams and everything in between. Raise your bean drinks and beans to the Torque Test Channel Cool Crew and the bean counter!! 🎤”Cause we’re all about dem beans, dem beans, no strugglllle🎼🎵

K, I’m done…

I got the m12 drill with a 2.0 and 4.0 battery as a kit for $120 and at the time Northern Tool had a deal where they threw in a 6.0 as well. I think I made out pretty good on that one.

[Drdall]

This was a great video for me. Was really debating whether or not to get the 6.0 but this cleared up things for me.
Thanks a lot !

[eventhrondsen]

Can you test banging on a normal wrench with a hammer, or using a floor jack on a breaker bar

[michaelburrell]

My m12 compact impact wrench is my go to tool for everything except high torque applications. That’s what my XTR is for. Very compact, very light, insane run time with the 4.0. I don’t have that right angle m12 however I have the Kobalt right angle impact, and m12 fuel ratchet for those jobs.
