Just got this baby the other day. Bare tool since I already have the M18 compact impact, sawzall, circular saw, 2 compact drill/drivers, flashlight, and grinder. This tool has some serious power. Pulled the front wheels off my bosses Super Duty Yesterday. Impact barely tried and lugs came right off. I very impressed. My boss was like try doing that without smiling. I could not stop smiling. Once again Milwaukee WOWs me. Thanks for making my life easier.
Happy days for me when I came across this impact from Milwaukee. I love my other 18 volt lithium ion powered Milwaukee tools and decided to give this impact a try. As usual, Milwaukee came through with a compact and powerful tool that has great ergonomics in your hand and does what it says it will. The bonus of not being tethered by an air hose or electrical cord is just icing on the cake.
This impact was purchased to remove the nut that holds the drive sprocket on my motorcycle. Torque values for this nut are 95 ft. lbs.. The Milwaukee impact spun the nut loose in about 2 seconds. The adjustable trigger pressure on this impact also made it possible for me to pre torque with the impact and follow up with a torque wrench to reinstall the sprocket nut.
You can tell by now that I am very pleased with the Milwaukee impact wrench 2663-20. I highly recommend this impact wrench.I feel like this impact could tear anything apart. Lug nuts, even way overtorqued, are spun off instantly. I haven't really found a tough enough fastener yet to put the torque capacity to the test.
It's longer than an air impact and heavier. But not too heavy, and maneuverable enough. Before I got my 3/8" m12 impact, I gladly used this to spin off 10mm bolts. It's pleasurable and quick.
I used this for two days working on my car last weekend and the XC battery is still showing the full 4 bars of charge. I really don't understand why anyone would use an air impact for most automotive work. I feel sorry for the guys at tire shops toting hoses around. What a waste.
The compact m18 would probably be enough for most work, including tire changes. I got this because I didn't ever wanna come up against a fastener I couldn't break loose (I've had my share of frustrations with cheap air tools). Once I saw how well this worked, I decided I wanted something light and maneuverable for small fasteners, and got the m12 with xc battery (apparently m12 with standard battery is too weak). The m12 can break loose bolts torqued to 65ftlb (my tests), and this m18 takes care of everything else. I'm a happy man!Great tool to take on the road,I have a trailer and it's great to how you have the power to change tires in no time. Stopped to help someone on the road,took this out with a set of sockets and changed tire and back on the road without breaking my back!If you ever want to try out an impact wrench to determine whether it has the guts to get it done or not try taking out a crankshaft bolt. These suckers are notoriously tight and almost no electric impact wrenches can handle them and only the best air impact wrenches less than 3/4" drive can handle them. THIS WRENCH CAN HANDLE THEM. Took off my crankshaft bolt, which had never been remove in 15 years from my 3800 engined Grand Prix with hardly even breathing hard. That a cordless tool could have this much power is astounding.
