Milwaukee M18 Fuel impact protective boots

[chris6278]

Picked one up for my 1/2" fuel impact and like it but its alot softer rubber than the boots for my other impacts. Just curious how they hold up if anyone has been using them for awhile

I've been using mine for 2 months on both the 2763 & 2654.....both are holding up great & I havent had any issues. Definitely has saved a lot of damage to the impacts themselves w/scratches, dents, and drops.

Thats good. I was afraid the rubber might rip or something. Definitely gonna get one for my 3/8 fuel impact

If you take it on & off constantly I think it would eventually. I personally am leaving mine on, just like with the IR tools & modifying the cases so they will fit.

My IR W7150 with boot fits in the case just fine. I'm not bothering with a boot on my Milwaukee 2654-22CT due to the rubber being soft and it looks horrible.

I have "modified" plastic blow-molded cases with a heat-gun. Just warm up the plastic until it's pliable, then mold it to your liking. I recommend the Milwaukee 2688-20 M-18 Compact Heat Gun (Bare Tool).

I've got the boots on my M12 stubby, M18 mid torque and M18 high torque. They all fit great and holding up very well.

On the Milwaukee I can see it is very thin I tried on a snap on 14.4 boot for 3/8 on my 1/4 if was just slightly too big due to head slightly bigger o. The 3/8 so I hit with a heat gun it was playable but too thick to work with
