  • How good is a Summit Racing branded Impact? vs WalMart, Amazon, Harbor Freight & Milwaukee
    $70 Avid power: www.amazon.com...
    $140 M18: amzn.to/3TIGrxK
    ‎On the suggestion of our viewers, we bought the new line of cordless tools from Summit Racing, their brushless impact wrench. Is it any good? We take a look up against the new addition from the Amazon brand Avid Power in their ACIW340, Walmart 20V HyperTough and Harbor Freight Hercules.

    I really wish Hercules would release a good mid torque. I love my other Hercules tools (drill, grinder, ultra torque, etc) but the 3/8 impact is so wimpy I NEVER use it. Wish I hadn't wasted the money on it.

    • @TorqueTestChannel
      @TorqueTestChannel  День тому +26

      Ya know it's funny, they have a couple very good high torque options and a great small impact driver. When we say they don't have a real mid torque people point at this tool we test here, when we say they don't really have a compact people also point at this same tool. It's both and neither, and in any light it's not great.
      They need to put a 3/8" drive on the hercules impact driver then make an actual mid torque between the size/weight of a DCF891 and M18 2962 then the market would freak out.

      @TorqueTestChannel  День тому +37

      Actually had Masterforce in our carts when making this episode. The small compact with battery and charger was $217 or $194 with rebate. The larger mid torque was $220/196 as a kit. Neither seemed to compare as directly as the $60-70 tools we had already bought. Not ruling it out though, they could be good and well justify being more expensive than these.

    You know the old saying.." buy once... Cry once". 45 years of experience..... It's true. Don't buy anything in your life that's not high quality.... If it's junk you simply don't need it. You will be frustrated and spend more money in the long run. With power tools go straight to the Milwaukee aisle and don't worry about it. You will have a tool that does its job and is a pleasure to use versus others that simply don't.
    I have a 350 lb rated corded impact wrench that I had for years before the lithium batteries came out and cordless tools were workable because the batteries lasted. .... I doubt it does 150 ft-lbs.. unless you leave it on there a long time... But it was better than dragging out the air compressor for a lot of bolts when working under cars....and wheel lugs. Meanwhile My Milwaukee 1/2-in impact wrench.... Has yet to find a bolt it couldn't remove in the blink of an eye..even harmonic balancer bolts. And it slows down automatically as the torque reduces so you can run the bolts on and off as well... It's just a pleasure to work with. The job is quick and easy.... Versus the hassle it used to be.
    But here's the thing.... You don't want to mix brands and have to have all kinds of different chargers and different batteries Milwaukee gives you the same battery and charger for All your tools and lawn and garden tools too..... My weed eater and hedge trimmer run off the same larger batteries that can fuel my sawzall , circular saw, impact wrench etc..... it is such a pleasure using the same batteries for all your tools. This saves you from having to buy extra batteries... You can just purchase the tool alone from Milwaukee... Once you already have the batteries and chargers you need... Saving $100 per tool or more

    When Harbor freight came out with the Hercules 2nd gen, I bought one of their 1/2" 1st gen ultra torques on clearance for maybe $110? Since it was my first Hercules, I needed a battery, so I got the gen 2 mid torque 3/8" that they bundled with a 5ah battery for $75 total. So basically, my mid torque was free. Although it is significantly less powerful than the ultra, and these others you've tested, it feels great in the hand, and I use it all the time when I'm working on my wheel horse tractors, zero turn and other equipment. I probably don't notice its limitations because I naturally switch to my ultra for larger bolts. Could it and should it be better? Absolutely. But it's still been a great tool. And it's hard to complain about free things! 😂

I also have the Walmart 12v mini brushless drill and Dremel, the drill I use for sharpening tungsten and is light for carrying up in lifts and on scaffolding at work. Both do what they’re supposed to very well. For what I paid for Walmart hyper tough- they are worth it- and I can replace them whenever I need to.

    Positive news that value brands aren't always a joke. I'm sure there's many a home DIYer who greatly benefits from this knowledge. With more international brands showing up, it's nice to know which do OK, and which are too weak to work.

    Avid is one cheap cloned generation ahead of every other model that's already been shipped to the US and sitting around for the past year or so. That's really what it comes down to. Supply chains from Chinese brands to Amazon are a lot quicker when you remove the Summit, Walmart, HF, etc middlemen.

    Have you ever tested any of the Parkside Performance brushless impact drivers/wrenches sold by Lidl? They are quite big here in Europe for people on a budget, and their biggest impact wrench advertise a torque of a whopping 1900nm while loosening and 1350nm tightening. They also sell a 12v wrench similar to the Milwaukee Stubby, for just 40 euros. Seems to good to be true, so might be interesting to test those!

    I would really like to see a comparison between the Milwaukee M12 Impact Driver, and the M12 Surge Hydraulic Impact driver. I've heard some really interesting things about the Surge, but it's not clear what's rumor, and what's true. All that anyone agrees on is that it's quieter. It wasn't included in the compact impact video, but I would really like to know where it ranks.

    I don't see a problem with someone getting a couple of these cheaper impact tools when they are DIY working on their own cars like me. I used to be a tech, but I just work on my cars. And taking off tires without power tools sucks. I'm temped to buy the ones that you showed that work with Makita batteries because I happen to have a couple of Makita tools on me already, but not the impact. I would be able to slap my 2 MAH batteries from that kit. I've seen those tools for like $100 or less. I could buy two of those and one one each in the trunk of each of my vehicles. If I buy like a nice one, it would be at least $250 plus tax, like the mid torque Dewalt (the latest one). Thanks for all you do!

    Many people for various reasons want to be able to carry one set of tools to deal with all fasteners. Comparing imperial for imperial + metric vs. metric for imperial + metric would be interesting, to me. It would be different for interval vs. external. My expectation is that metric is better for sockets and wrenches and imperial is better for hex keys, but seeing the results (maybe compared, as well, to a Metrinch set) would be interesting.

    I would have thought their highest torque would be in reverse. That’s where I use mine 99% of the time. Righty tighty is usually by torque wrench.
    Also, I’ve recently noticed non- Milwaukee tools made to use M12 and M18 Milwaukee batteries. Ends that incompatibility if there is something Milwaukee doesn’t make or you could consider disposable.

    Harbor Freight going to Hercules is wild, when they had an Earthquake XT. I've got one as my home gun, it was my first 20 volt impact and I used it in a garage for 2 years. Granted it died right before the warranty ran out, I took it in and got a whole new Earthquake XT kit; for the small fee of buying the warranty again (not required but I wanted it) which was $34. I got ol big daddy DeWalt 961 now... 😅

    Any chance of seeing the new kobalt 24v compacts. They have 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2in specs on the box seem really low. Im not sure what they are trying to compete with since most all the new compacts are north of 250ftlbs. It would be intresting to see if they are under rated by chance. They also have a newer shorter 24v ratchet that's more of a manageable size than the 1st massive one they put out. Maybe it could be included in your next ratchet test.
    Thanks for all the work that goes into making these comparison videos.

    @torquetestchannel please can you do another test on the ratchet gaunlet for the milwaukee insider ratchet using deep well sockets for each one, only asking as I'm still hearing good things about the tool and I believe it would do a better time if you used deep well sockets rather then the insider sockets as it seemed to go faster using them even on bigger stuff, also I believe alot of people would use normal sockets on the adapters most of the time and where necessary the insider sockets would be come helpful but for only certain circumstances. Also milwaukee updating the anvil adapters reduces the issue of slowing the user down and I'd like to see them in practice if possible. Many thanks 😁
