      I don't get it. How do you measure TORQUE ... in PSI ..? ... per square INCH ..?? What!?
      It's just twisting force. Irrespective however many inches it's "across."
      Even if it's legitimate, it's not intuitive. Can we please stick to lb-ft ..?
      In fact, when I asked AI:
      _Can electric impact wrench measure torque in PSI ..?_
      ...and it said:
      _Electric impact wrenches measure torque in Newton meters (Nm), not PSI._
      So how the heck is this supposed to make sense on an intuitive level !?

      @@TehButterflyEffect Absolutely untrue. You are confusing 'Consumer Reports' with the other fake review brands 'Consumer Guide', 'Consumer Review' or any name that sounds like Consumer Reports. Over the decades many fakes have been created by the manufacturers to confuse and obfuscate the truth. The real one never sells anything, they buy all of the products (including cars) without anyone knowing who they are, meaning just a regular consumer buying a product. No advertising EVER and never any involvement from manufacturers. The car surveys are massive with thousands of members of the Consumers Union providing their results. Outliers are thrown out and the results are quite scientific.
      Of course if you like some brand that does poorly in their results I can not help with that. I suggest a change of loyalty in that case.

      I think the one area where the Rigid may have been an unfair comparison in this review is that it is an 18V platform that also weighs close to a pound more than the Dewalt. Don’t get me wrong, the Ridgid for the money is a great buy! I just think it is impressive that the Dewalt was the second cheapest and also the 2nd best performing 12volt system, only to the Milwaukee costing 2x as much. For such a lightweight tiny thing, that’s where the Dewalt seemed to be a Best Buy. If weight isn’t a concern, then the Ridgid takes too honors for best bang for the buck. It seems like the Dewalt DCF890 may have been a better comparison to that Ridgid model.

      There's a reason all my battery tools are Will-fawk-ye. Consistently top 3 in almost every comparison except price on everything I buy. Plus they just have good design - the yard tools (still waiting on a lawnmower, but I digress) with the quick-lok system just makes trimming my trees and hedges, and other yardwork a breeze, and storage is now 1/4 of the space it used to take up with gas tools, because most of the tools are just a detachable head that you swap out. My drills, impacts, circular saws, tablesaws, oscillating tools, miter saws, rotary hammer, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few all use the M18 batteries, and the 12Ah ones last me most of the day regardless of the tool I'm using. My "home tools" use the M12 batteries (along with my heated winter gear), I have the headlamp and heated gloves that use their USB rechargeable batteries, and I'm starting to look at their MX lineup as well, since I bought the powerbank "generator" and light tower that run on the MX batteries.
      Of all the Milwaukee stuff I own, my only complaint is that the heated gloves are advertised as working gloves but they're light-duty at best. For over $200 I was expecting them to be way more durable than they are. Oh, and the miter saw stand's material supports are flimsier than I'd like.
      Not a shill, just a tradesman who happens to love the brand.

    I have the Ridgid impact wrench. Love that thing. Any time something needs a socket, I grab it over my impact driver and adapter. Makes really short work of my 110 ft lb torqued lug nuts on my Dakota. Best $120 tool only I've spent in forever. Great test as usual.
    Another commenter said once they really need to put Project Farm tested and approved stickers on packing for tools and tool accessories. I second that.

    I have had great service with the Ridgid lifetime warranty, I use my tools daily so over the years the batteries do expire.

      @@ProjectFarm I read reports on line of people being jerked around on on the lifetime warranty, as I said, that has not been my experience from my warranty centre that is an independent electric tool service business. As they tell me " Why would I not service your tool under warranty? It is money in our pocket!" When the drill burnt out (worn brushes) the transmission was replaced along with a new motor. I is NOT like a Snap on tool or Craftsman wrench warranty, it is not an over the counter exchange. That might disappoint some customers, but a free new battery after 4 years hard use is much better than nothing!, even if you have to wait a week after phoning it in for replacement (here in Canada)

      @@ProjectFarm Can you do a video on cotter pins. There has always been an argument on the best way of bending a cotter pin. Bending cotter pin on top of the threaded section doesn't help prevent the nut from spinning. Boat anchor properly bent with the tips into slots of the castle nut (best) and/or flat against the nut (second best) adds that extra little bit of resistance. Bending up and down does not. The idea of up and down is that if bent down and tight it will need added force to loosen from its original torque this is deceptive in the fact you are never going to get it tight due to the spring of the metal it is made out of. Also what is that bit on top of the threaded section doing? Absolutely fuck all. So instead of both sides attempting to prevent rotation you only have one. So you just halved the helpfulness of the pin. Also if you throw an impact on it and attempt to run the nut off the over under is going to snap the cotter pin where the boat anchor is going to be way more of a bitch because it is slowly going to pull and constantly jam the entire way it comes off.

    Its super cool to see how project farms testing has gotten more fair and in my oppionion scientific over the years.
    In one test he torqued everything down to 100 ft/lb and got wildly different results out of the impacts like with the dewalt. One nut got delt with quickly. The other was an imoveable object. Just goes to show how torque readings may not actually tell you how tight something is. From what i understand lubricating the bolts and removeing 25-33% of the torque (i most commonly hear 30%) since the lubricant gives you a more accurate and even stretch but this means that you can easily overtorque something and cause plastic deformation.
    Im pretty sure there is also some more scientific system where you torque it to a certain spec using a torque meter and then tighten it down further by rotating it a certain number of degrees. I believe this is because it becomes more and more difficult to get an accurate reading as the bolt stretches. (Ex: torque down to 60 ft/lb then rotate an aditional 30°) i believe this is what the manual tells you to do on some cars when torqing down the cylinder head. (But do not quote me or take any of this as fact im just a nerd that misremebers stuff not an engineer)

    I've found the ACDelco to be great when repurposed as a small screw gun. It's good for "hand tightening" a bunch of smedium-sized nuts/bolts quickly once they're all seated in the threads before hitting the final torque specs.
    When repurposed this way, it makes more sense to categorize the ACDelco as "a screw gun with a kick to it" than an actual impact wrench.
