Craig is funny as hell. I been following him for years now. Keep it up Craig!!

I have the DeWalt 12v and love it. I have the entire series and for the homeowner it's perfect. It's not too heavy; I have 5 AH batteries(free from a Lowes promotion) is compact and doesn't take up a huge amount of room.

[BlindMansRevenge]

The Ingersoll rand he showcased was the W 7152. I own the original first generation W 7150 no need to upgrade

Within the first 1:30 I was already laughing at the “industry standard testing”. Lol. I love project farm and now you are my go to also.

I bought the Bosch. I like it since it uses the same battery as my cordless drill. Maybe not killing a bolt or nut, but it does work.

[johnquinn]

That milwaukee is a mid torque model. Milwaukee makes a full size 1/2" impact that's freaking insane

[CraigularjJoeWoodworks]

The actual torque differs greatly from the box. Milwaukee is absolutely the best, but that in mind it's still about 100 ft lb short on fastening torque. The channel that tests this sort of torque is called "torque test channel"

Just realized this guy is recording under a lifted car. Such a dope background! +1

I have a Milwaukee 3/4 impact and is a

[CarlosRodriguez-hbvq]

That DeWalt 20v TP gag is no joke. I have one and the direction switch is mis positioned too close to the trigger finger making it all to easy to accidentally hit reverse. Also, the battery sometimes rattles itself off. Still, it gets the job done.

Video is very good. Not long ago, because I needed to buy a torque drilling rig of the Renhotecic brand, I used it for a while, and it felt very good to use. It is recommended that friends in need can try to prepare one.

[haydenhiatt]

love how you used Milwaukee's 1/2 inch mid torque and compared it to DeWalt's 1/2 inch high torque, why didn't you compare the Milwaukee high torque to DeWalt's high torque.

[saulornelascano]

What a show whit this guy, funny informative review, amazing job man! 😂👏

[homelee]

You missed the high torque Milwaukee and the Milwaukee M12 stubby (I think you got it and the M18 Compact confused there).

[MrOutdoorsWoodsyKindaGuy]

Thanks for not taking yourself too serious. :)

[weebus]

The big DeWalt one shouldn't be compared to the others seeing as its a high torque impact wrench

[Eyewantknow]

How did you measure the actual torque delivered?

[KycenPetersen]

I was trying to find a battery impact to keep in my car, hopefully I could get one of these.

[sclpomy]

Hey roadshow, project farm already did this.
