Which milwaukee impact wrench

[jack6480]

How big a socket can you use on a 1/2 inch gun?

I use a 32mm on mine and it takes trailer nuts off without a bar mines a mid torque

My high torque 1/2 drive will use 32mm sockets no problem and isn’t often beaten I brought a impact flexable join and that is bloody handy

I'm looking at this one and from the comments I'm assuming it will do my job..?

Wheel nuts on 10 stud commercial axles, tractor wheel nuts and the knives on a Claas chopper?

Will it loosen these without the need to break them first?

We have never had an impact gun so when I buy, I want to buy the right one.

Thanks in advance

It says hi torque so think its a top range 1/2 one. Dare say a 3/4 one has more torque. Check on milwaukee website

I think that is the same one £10 cheaper

The 5 amp batteries are good, i have a 9ah and it lasts very well but you are probably better of with 2x5 amp batteries so you can always have one on charge

Yeh, it'd be handy to have one on charge.

Have you used that website to buy off yourself?

I’ve used them many times before and nothing but praise for them. Quick delivery and quite often got deals on. The first Milwaukee charger I got wasn’t up to much so emailed them about it, they sent out a rapid charger free of charge no questions asked. Good folk.

Looking at the Milwaukee impact guns for tractor/trailer and sprayer wheel nuts (sprayer is on 33mm) do I go1/2 or 3/4

After advice from on here I bought a 1/2" high torque and so far we've used it for tractor and silage trailer wheel nuts without hassle. It is a serious tool!

1/2” copes with everything - opens 38mm nuts here with ease, and does them up! I went for the 1/2” as it’s a bit lighter than the 3/4”, and a 1/2” is a heavy gun.

I was told they are both the same gun and power, except the 3/4 has a bit more torque due to the heavier anvil.

I also have a bit of fun with mine using it as an impact driver to screw no.12 3”and 4” wood screws in

 

[hesston]

Anyone know when or if the 1” is going to be available in the uk?

 

[Pheasant Surprise]

Have they actually released it anywhere yet?

 

[Dman2]

I have the 3/4 drive
Hell of a tool

i was told it was expected after the first quarter of 2019 but i know no more than that.
its more than possible it ill be in the us before that but its only a guess.

the rep also said the 3/4 wasnt any more heavier than the 1/2 gun for its the same one just with a bigger drive but im only a telegraph pole on that one.

[*** Note- this is pre-order - ships from 1 June out of the USA ***]

Looks like you can get them in the states now. Hold on to your wallet though...$999 in kit form or $699 for the bare tool. Probably not much change out of that in Sterling if you imported one.

2867-20 is the code for the bare tool, and
2867-22 is the code for the kit if you’re googling.
