Remember... U picked him also. So what does that say about your judgement??

Good catch. Should be pound-feet. Foot-pounds in the unit for energy. Pound-feet is the unit for torque (work).

I was impressed with the 1400 pounds lol

I think you misunderstand the sort of people who buy impact drivers - we think this is hilarious, not an error.

Shoot I think it's funny! I sell the damn things, I'm fully aware of the folks who buy them

They know exactly what they did, and we're giving them free advertising because of it. Well played, marketing team.

A 1” pneumatic wrench on max torque with reducers on it to shear 1/2” bolts rather than undo them (after operators paint the threads) ftw

Why does foot-pounds sound so silly

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Because when you take an arbitrary unit and compare it with another arbitrary unit, then things start to get silly

All jokes aside these things are fantastic and save a ton of trouble and time. But get the friction ring, screw pin detent garbage.

Milwaukee is ok for the home game, if you need really good stuff for work you'll have to shell out the big $$ for Snap-on or Ingersol Rand.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 5

No way dude. Milwaukee outperforms both, and is cheaper than snap on and more convenient than IR.

Shit, our tool room at work is all milwaukee, and we work on airplanes...

How can that tool be 1400 ft/lbs? My Snap On MG725 air impact only goes 800 ft/lbs.

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

"Up to". Probably the same way shop vacs have "peak" 5 HP

We still have an old corded model on the shelf next to this. Only 300 lbft vs 1400. That SOB will break wheel studs off like nothing else.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I have this drill and have used it to take tracks off of Cat D6s like nothing, great for taking lattice towers down too.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

MG725 is something like 1300 breakaway torque/800 working.

I have the M18 cordless drill set. That thing will break your wrist if you’re not careful. Insane power

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Because they're much better than Snap-On.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

How is your wrist taking 800ft/lbs anyway?

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

We have the bigger version of that unit at work, I brace it against my leg otherwise it'll rip right out of my hand at max setting.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

1. It's electric so it has full torque instantly and it can deliver 2x impacts per minute. 2. Milwaukee's # probably isn't "working torque."

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I suspect they are actually very comparable in performance. Your pneumatic Snap-On may even outperform the Milwaukee in working conditions.

Is your air impact 3/8" or 1/2". 1/2" will always have more breakaway torque than a 3/8" due to the additional leverage and mass from center

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

And remember that breakaway torque is severely different from tightening torque. My Matco 1/2" air impact has something like 1/2

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

1400 ft/lbs breakaway torque, but only like 265 ft/lbs tightening.
