You're absolutely correct, it will do them but generally with some back and forth action. Lug bolts as we call them like to rust some on the exposed threads that have passed through the hub causing them to be a little more stubborn come removal time but my mid torque has hardly let me down even in this area
They add the play so that the battery can move separate from the tool, helps keep the battery’s from experiencing too much vibration and extends the life.
90% of the time it will remove any truck lug nuts with ease, mind you this is living in the rust belt where things often seize and are likely over torqued. For the size this gun is a beast, Milwaukee has however recently released the Gen 3 2967 High Torque in the same design with a slightly larger form factor if you have doubts.
I’ve been able to get most jobs done with my Milwaukee m12 stubby 1/2”. In case that doesn’t work my high torque m18 does the job but that’s not too often. Those two should be in everybody’s tool chest.
Extremely interesting test. Would have never thought of doing it that way for a 12 v 18 comparison
Best combination of impacts..
Well I just returned mine , struggled to remove the lugs from my honda
Yeah it was pretty easy cuz the impacting mechanism in reverse is more powerful than in forward.
M12 2555-20 👍
From my testing it really only doesn’t get lug nuts that are also studs

Oh my God an impact removed a lug nut
Looks to me the nuts is torqued by 50nm
Is they some play where the battery feels lose? It that normal?
Completely normal for there to be a small amount of slop at least in my experience

what sockets are those?
These ones are Canadian Tire units
I would rather see it take off regular trucks lug nuts like the tundra , f150 …that was done by strong air guns

Takes off my Silverado 2500 with ease

Indeed. I also have a high torque and a stubby and i use the stubby like 95% of my tasks, but those 5% the high torque is a must have back up.
No point of the comparison. Mode 2 on mid torque will only put down about 150 ftlb , why even compare.
Which is Still way over torqued for that car...
Both are 3/8 right?
no 1/2
