Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

Thanks OP, good deal. FYI for those interested, they're coming out with a new generation in October, so there are likely to be deep discounts coming up. https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/2967-20

Just followed the link. Pretty cool new impact. But this price is great. Anything deeper would be interesting as sub 200 is a great price for this

Great!! Im going with the 3/8in impact that is cheaper at only $119 and plenty of torque at 250 ft-lbs. Needed an impact wrench to get brake and rotors done on my BMW didnt want to hand break/loosen 20 lug nuts 😵

I've owned one of these for a few years. It's great for removing lug nuts and other high torque bolts. It's quite heavy and not good for general engine or brake work; it's like using a sledge hammer to crack walnuts.

The friction ring attachment is cumbersome but it works. You'll usually put an extension and then the socket on this tool, or for tightening lug nuts you can use a "torque stick" and a socket.

The other thing about Milwaukee tools is that oil and grease will stain them and you can't clean it off. I've tried all sorts of different cleaners and you'll just have to accept that they'll get stained the first time you use one.

In general, I think it's great. The only disappointment I have is that I bought a Milwaukee 3/8" impact for lighter duty work and it isn't very good. The 3/8" doesn't come close to its advertised "nut breaking" spec, so for me it's mostly the 1/2" or the small 1/4" hex driver. The hex driver is my favorite for engine work.

Spending almost $200 to avoid breaking 20 lug nuts is wild. Just the effort of doing the battery return hack is more than breaking lugs free.

If you're planning on properly torquing the lugs after, it's not much more effort to manually break the lugs before. But if you're planning on using this to tighten your lugs after, that's not a great practice.

Not only is it going to help with my back, i dont have to pay someone to do it either. I can use the money i woukd have spent for the job to get new tools that will last me years and will be used for other jobs as well. To me, its a win win and I save $ overall.

And if I was breaking the lugs nuts manually with my breaker bar, that would take about 80% more time than just busting 20 nuts open with an impact wrench that would be done in 5-10 minutes. Im sure a few of them have been over tightened as well so I could be facing that too.

Edit: I didnt up getting this m18 impact wrench because my research showed that m12 batteries are not compatible with m18's? So i went with a ryobi that has more torque busting at 600ft/lbs for cheaper

Yea just busting your balls. All good points. Buy once, cry once. Hope your Ryobi treats you well.

Don't let the humungous size intimidate you - this thing is gigantic when holding it in your hands. We have one of this in our engineering office and when I picked up the hard-plastic case for it, I seriously thought it was just an empty case and that someone in our team had stolen it. Opening the case, the tool was right inside the case - e.g. this thing is actually very light and comfortable to use.
