Milwaukee brushless impact specs

[itwnexus]

M18 FUEL 1/2″ High Torque Impact Wrench w/ Ring Kit (2763-22) (700 ft-lbs max fastening torque, 1,100 ft-lbs nut-busting torque)

vs.

W7150 1/2″ 20V High-Torque Impactool (780 ft-lbs of maximum reverse torque & 1100 ft-lb of nut-busting torque)



Will the Milwaukee brushless impact last longer since it is brushless?
Does the IR W7150 edge out the Milwaukee brushless impact in power?

 

[MattPersman]

They may not be tested the same. I like Milwaukee products but I would put my $ on the IR its a beast of a gun.

Will the Milwaukee brushless impact last longer since it is brushless?

In theory, yes. In practice? Who knows. I can't remember the last time any of my tools failed on me due to the motor's brushes wearing out. Other parts of the gun would probably die before the motor itself.

Stuey, where can we get a way to measure and compare torque? I would love to see a test of the top air and cordless impacts. See who is showing the real numbers and who is blowing smoke.

Theoretically, but brushless has other benefits in addition to longer life.

Damn now Im kinda mad just got my 1/2 milwaukee impact not 3 weeks ago and now the fuel Is out o well maybe ill just buy the bare tool and reserve mu current on for the car. I just love milwaukee right now 1/4 chuck m12 impact 3/8ths m12 ratchet m18 3/8ths fuel and m18 8 1/2 get used everyday now my air tools sit in my box waiting for the time that milwaukee can accomplish something but that hasn't happend yet

I like the 1/2" but I don't really think I could justify the 3/8 and deffinaley eg not the hex one.. I would brake way to much stuff trying to use that strong of a tool LOL

Torque testers cost quite a bit of cash, let alone ones that can handle hundreds of ft-lbs of impact torque.

Do it! The power, battery life, are both amazing, you will not be disappointed, the ct7850 is two years old, I ditched mine and am digging it, the 5-3 warranty is the bonus. Much better Milwaukee 2673-22!

 

[Motoolsplease]

I agree I own both the 2763-22 and the w7150 with hind sight being 20/20 I would prefer the Milwaukee, although the milwaukee has slightly less torque, I'm spoiled with the led light when using the impact gun, (Ingersoll no light.) The Ingersoll has forward reverse control poorly positioned, I accidentally bump it regularly. Milwaukee has best warranty in the business on the tool and the 4.0 batteries, slightly better battery life with the Milwaukee though, also consider post warranty life (after 3 years), the Milwaukee batteries are more widely available and less expensive with online retailers than Ingersoll.

 

[Motoolsplease]

I hear ya, that's why I sadly dumped my ct8810, went with milwaukee, everyone has stuff that fails, where are they when things break, the ct8810 rips, when it works, Milwaukee only slightly less torque, better run time with brushless and 4.0 ah battery also

I picked up 2 of the 1/2 hog ring versions about 2 weeks ago. Removed a few lug nuts on a Komatsu WA600 as a test, and it pulled them off with no complaints. Can't wait to really put them to work out in the field. I can't say anything bad about the fuel line so far. I've got a couple of drills and pact drivers and also the Sawzall and they all rock.

 

[GSteg]

I prefer my W7150 over the Milwaukee. The Milwaukee is a bit too bulky, but the M18 platform is hard to beat. I find the LED useless so having no light is okay. The Snap On LED is the only one I've used that's even worth a damn.

I sold my Makita LXT drill/driver and picked up the milwaukee Fuel hammer drill for 299 + a free tool (4.5" grinder). Happy with both so far, eyeballing the 1/2 fuel impact and a sawzall. I will say the grinder was much faster at pulling a rear axle out of a jeep at the pick-a-part than an impact could ever be. 5 minutes and a Dana 44 is on the ground.

Oh, the big deciding factor was there's a local milwaukee repair center here, and they have returns on batteries and tools from Habitat for Humanity. Usually bins of the batteries for 25-30 bucks each.

I will be picking up the ring-retain Milwaukee in the not too distant future to sit alongside my Bosch 18V beasty that I love so much. Milky seems to have gotten the torque range settings pretty much on par with the 1/2" ring version that mechanics would use most. The 100 lb/ft setting is ideal for running lugnuts on without going overboard making followup with a torque wrench easy, I'm sure many will just use the impact setting to zip the lugs on and be done with it, if the setting proves accurate and repeatable it will work for most of my applications just fine as far as cars go.

I want the 3/8" 18V Fuel impact as well, I currently have a DeWalt 12VMax 3/8 incher that I find very handy, but it is sometimes down on power. I recently bought the 1/4" 12V Fuel impact wrench and immediately fell in love with the power-to-size ratio. I have fewer and fewer reasons to pull the air hose down from the ceiling these days, and that's not a bad thing.

Received my MILWAUKIE 2454-22 3/8" Impact Wrench Kit and separate 3/8" sq to 1/4" Hex adapter.

Two speed brushless motor with 1400 inch lbs of torque. Has to be the slickest power tool
Ive ever had the pleasure of holding/owning/using !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO other brand can match this M12 Tool Platform at this price point and quality.
