Milwaukee M18 High Torque Wrench vs M12 Stubby

- YES, I KNOW THAT THOSE ARE TWO DIFFERENT TOOLS FOR DIFFERENT JOBS. I JUST WANTED TO SEE HOW MUCH FASTER WILL THE BIG BROTHER BREAK THE SAME BOLT. 😂
Ok, now without yelling. :D Just a quick clip from my phone, just for fun - to see how much faster is a the older high torque M18 against the Stubby (with a small 1.5Ah battery - so the worst possible combo for the small guy, I know).
Same bolt (caliper bracket on Dodge Caravan, not that it matters) on different sides of the car: M12 Stubby with 1.5 Ah battery (it did loosen it, I just noticed that later on the video, so its cut off) vs. the big M18 High Torque Wrench with 5 Ah battery.
And I say this again last time, because I can already see the comments coming: This clearly IS NOT and wasn't supposed to be a fair comparison (like if the Stubby had 4.0 or 6.0, it would be probably a lot faster with the Stubby too), I just thought it was just kinda fun to see how much more raw power there is in the high torque. Thanks to all those who get it. I otherwise absolutely love the M12 Stubby.
You stopped when it started turning
Yeah I know, but I only noticed it later on on the video :D
what a clown
Yeah i noticed that too. That stubby is no joke!
I love the little stubby
250ftlb vs 1400ftlb. Pretty even match
Read the description :D
My Milwaukee High Torque 1600ft ibs vs my upcoming Stubby 550ft ibs, how bout that
Using the right tool for the job is crucial.
I just ordered the mid torque Milwaukee, but might end up getting the stubby or right angle impact eventually for tighter areas.
I never had or used the mid-torque but I am sure that's still plenty strong for cars and light duty trucks, maybe even medium duty. I wonder if @Torque Test Channel ever benchmarked it.
@@carsandtools Some people have questioned the accuracy of Torque Test Channel. I just know that I have seen it break loose nuts torqued to 650 foot pounds in videos on Shop Tool Reviews, and on someone’s industrial equipment.
From what I understand, the battery makes a huge difference in what the tool can do.
I think unless you are breaking lug nuts on rusty tractors or WWI battle tanks, the stubby is powerful enough for every application. It's tempting to go bigger, but in reality you are never going to need the extra torque on any thing that you'll ever face.
@@jonothandoeser There are some other things to take into consideration.
1: If you get a mid torque, you can go beyond lug nuts.
2: The M12 stubby (bare tool) is $199, the mid torque is only $30 more.
The Ridgid mid torque is $169 with a battery, a charger and a bag.
3: The ergonomics of the m12 tools are not the best for a lot of people due to the fat grip. If I was going to get a stubby impact wrench, I’d go with m18 or Dewalt.
@@jonothandoeser I actually use my first gen high torque a lot. Once you get to the bigger bolts (like this brake caliper on this video, suspension, engine mounts), it's a lot faster. But I got mine from auction, final price after all was around 80 USD/110 CAD (bought it from auction as a kit, then sold the two 4.0 batteries and the case). I love having both, even though I probably wouldn't splurge for brand new one for what I use it for.
I love the stubby with the 5.0 high output and the 6.0 battery. M18 is such a unit in ome hand
Smh put a 6.0 battery on that stubby and will outperform alot of 18 volts out there
4.0 actually puts out a little more torque than 6.0 (I think the individual 18650 cells in the 4.0 have higher amp output per cell), but yeah
@@carsandtools really. ua-cam.com/video/IDutTs7KEKU/v-deo.html
@@kartboarder22g17 But also check this out: ua-cam.com/video/vXKFPIcGQoU/v-deo.html The 4.0 a 6.0 are so close together that at the end of the day it comes down to a lock whether you good a "good one" or "worse one" from the factory. My overall consensus would be that both 4.0 and 6.0 are pretty close and way better than 1.5 or 2.0 (which is no surprise).
Thats for this Stubby, though for some reason the 6.0 does a lot better on the right angle impact: ua-cam.com/video/vXKFPIcGQoU/v-deo.html
@@carsandtools yeah I watched that yesterday too after I commented to you. In the right angle the 6 is dominant. Yet the 4 wins on the stubby but after 13 seconds. Really I know I don't wrap on a fastener over 7 seconds before I pull out my hi torque.
@@kartboarder22g17 Yeah I mean I agree, the 6.0 is slightly better. But if someone already has 4.0s (I have three) it's not cost effective to swap them for the the 6.0 for the 10-15 % - or so - gain in power.
Love the stubby! Anything needing more of a beating gets my air impact that will twist the anvil off battery powered clickers.
The lie detector test says, that is a lie
I’d be willing to bet money the M18 high torque is just as, if not more powerful than your air impact. Air tools will be a thing of the past before long
@@MansoorAuto2k that’s already the case, air guns aren’t as powerful as electric impacts now
The stubby loosen it.
I know, I know. To be honest, I only noticed it later on the video that it started spinning towards the end, otherwise I'd kept recording. :)
I just want to say that, if you’re looking for that torque range, I think there are some better options.
Unless you have big hands, the ergonomics of the m12 line is not going to be super comfortable.
The 12v Dewalt and the Ridgid subcompact have the same torque rating, but better ergonomics.
I usually wear size L gloves and the M12 is just perfect IMO. But for bigger hands it might start getting too small.
@@carsandtools I wear a medium to large glove, and think the handle feels awkwardly thick.
That said, I have an older M12 (brushed) set, and it’s fairly comfortable in my hand.
I realized, after I posted the original comment, that some of the awkwardness of the new model has a lot to do with the rubber on the handle. The older one seems to have a better grip due to the texture.
As for big hands, check out Tools With SOALZ. He has big ass hands, and loves the M12.
the m12 was starting to spin it when you gave up. it would have got the nut off. even faster with a bigger battery.
I know (even though I noticed it only later on the video). It was just for fun comparison anyway. People are taking it too seriously. :D
