Cheap Impact Gun Vs. Milwaukee - Can You Tell The Difference? #milwaukeetools #diytools
What happens here
For a more challenging test, the presenter moves to a large trailer tire. He notes that these lug nuts were previously tightened with a much more powerful 1200 ft-lbs Milwaukee impact wrench, making them very stubborn. He dons a pair of HyFlex work gloves for added protection and grip and attaches a larger socket suitable for the trailer's lug nuts. He intentionally uses the tool's "stepper" feature (which provides controlled, stepped impacts) to break loose one of the heavily tightened lug nuts. He successfully removes the lug nut and then re-tightens it using the same DIYTOOLF impact wrench. He concludes the test by affirming the tool's impressive torque and overall value, particularly when considering its more affordable price point compared to premium brands like Milwaukee.
Goal: Challenge the impact wrench's maximum torque capacity on heavy-duty, over-tightened fasteners.
