Hi guys, this will piss off Milwaukee fanboys, but I brought a Milwaukee 12v impact for chainsaw repairs. My first impressions leave me disappointed which I share in this video. Keen to hear how you like it if you have one?
Nothing wrong with the power, the 12v Milwaukee impacts are more powerful than the snapon 18v impact.TLDW
but 12v = low power, thats why car starter motors have wires the size of your finger, and why formula 1 use 1000 v on their electric motor
My 20v dewalt batteries are finally dying after about 8-10 years of use. I need ro replace them. Haven’t had any breaking issues with any of my Milwaukee batteries YET, and hope I don’t. Definitely not impressed with the Milwaukee cordless chainsaw but that battery is an absolute beast in other tools.Return it if you do not like it, at a 400.00 price point I know I would instead of making a video nitpicking one of their cheapest tool lineups. That being said you know you got a construction special right? for folks that hang cabinets and pictures or set doors not really the setup for machine repairs. Look at the ridgid stuff if you an find it locally, its been really fabulous for the local contractors crews and they beat the snot out of them and its half the price. Ive owned dewalt and its good stuff but the batteries fail to hold a charge too soon, milwaukee batteries suffer broken cases when used on impacts but they last years of recharges and you can get aftermarket cases. The m12 stubby 3/8 impact is a great tool and so is the m12 1/4" ratchet tho i wouldent get the m12 drill unless yu want to have a huge battery hanging off the end. If you think the m12 stuff is expensive don't even bother looking at the m18, I find the larger grips excel when your hands get wet, oily etc and they are nice and soft reducing hand fatigue and arthritis inflammation compared to other tools.
I didn’t make the video to nitpick. I made the video to share in the joy of unboxing a new tool, but was left feeling disappointed.Return it if you do not like it, at a 400.00 price point I know I would instead of making a video nitpicking one of their cheapest tool lineups.

I have seen a lot of damage done by careless people, power tool or not, you can’t blame a tool for the stupidity of the user. An impact tool doesn’t damage threads, a careless user does. Give them a ratchet and they’ll turn it the wrong way and still damage the threads..i never use an impact wrench unless its kill or cure, they have snapped countless crank and clutch threads
