A Call From 7 Heavens because that type of retaining ring resembles the split metal ring with beveled points thats pushed through the cartilage of the nose of pigs and locked there to prevent rooting & serve as a means of leading the animal.
I'm a tow truck driver . And usually 2-3 times per week I got a tire change call for some small cars up to a ford f350 size (i dont touch anything bigger) In a period of 3 years two kobalt high impact wrenches broke down on me.!! My body run mobile road assistance/ repair truck .And he using his tools very havy on daily basis.... %90 of his clients is semi trucks. He only using Milwaukee tools. Out of his experience this is only tools which is able to hold up really well to that massive obuse he put them through. And he did try them all , from chip walmart tools to ridgit and makita. So Wright now I'm looking for a good deal on Milwaukee high impact wrench.
Two years later and it is still $269. While I was at Lowe’s, I checked their website for online deals. Ordered online to pickup at store and the $269 impact came with your option of one free gift; two extra batteries, xtr circular saw or xtr reciprocating saw. Plus another $5 off coupon. Tools are great, free tools are even better!
I just got the xtr circular saw, and its a complete animal! I continually cut 2 sheets of 3/4" birch ply for speaker cabinets and it cuts through 1 1/2" like butter! Very strong saw. Love it! Looks like the impact will be next!
I've had the gen 1 for about a year now and really like it, have no complaints at all but I'm defiantly digging the new model! Might have to look into upgrading!
Same here man. I actually just gave my milwaukee tools to my father in law for a early birthday present because I got all the new xtr tools and love them. Getting ready to add this impact to my collection. It would be AWESOME if kolbalt would compete with Milwaukee's stubby and gen 3 compact impact wrenches. I'm also going to be adding those to my list. I love kolbalt but I don't discriminate. If the tool does what it needs to when I need it to. I'll buy it. Milwaukee is definitely a quality tool.
I had one for work I work at a junkyard and kobalt impact would only get like half the lugs off. Now my Dewalt half inch on the other hand never fails even with extentions on taking torque away. Not hating on the kobalt just from experience the Dewalt has never let me down but for the price I guess it's not too bad
Vince is a damn good sales man, convinced me to buy the skil 12v stuff, very pleased(also have dewalt,porter cable,bosch,ridgid,ryobi and a few off name items all cordless. Yes its kind of addictive. Love me some tools.
Hey Hey Vince, I clicked on because of the KOBALT LINE?!! I'm hoping to get into the Kobalt line as a DIYer. Saving for a Combo kit 🙂☺️😊 l Love the Royal Blue. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and videos Rodney
I would love to see the same 2 impacts here tested against each other again on something where they struggle. For example, I tried to use the old style today and there was a bolt it would not take out on a semi flywheel. I wonder if the xtr would have taken it out
I work at a junkyard and the kobalt barley gets any lugs off. My Dewalt half inch tho is badass gets everything off that I need even with extentions on taking torque away. Dewalt gang!!!!! Lol
So why do I spend my time watching your videos??? Because I get an honest review, honest opinions, honest demonstrations with real world problems and things that we run into out in the field-that’s why! AND most importantly…THANK YOU for putting a JACK STAND under your truck after you jacked it up!!!!!!!!! You’d be surprised the number of videos I see where people just use a hydraulic jack and then get up underneath it. They don’t realize it’s a simple rubber o-ring or rubber cup holding that hydraulic fluid in the cylinder keeping that jack holding their vehicle up in the air. It can fail! It can fail!!! Most times you don’t get a second chance. Good review, thanks for the video.👍
I have a few kobalt xtr tools, and 24 max they are a great value. The folding light is the best light I have ever used, I love how the impact and hammer drill feel, but I wish their triggers were more responsive in comparison to a Makita set I ended up with due to the recent free battery promotions. And the impact driver while more powerful than Makitas xdt14z is not as controllable nor is the lighting as good on the tool. But for the money, they are great, and I would have thought it was the best thing ever had I not gotten my makita set. Also, their multitool and compact reciprocating saw are fantastic never mind the value. VCG you should definitely review those you will be surprised how they compare if you haven't already.
I have the Makita xdt14z and the Makita xdt11z and I actually like the brushed 11z better. I bought the 14z for the mode that slows down at the end for things like screwing down like metal roofing which it is good for. However, in normal day to day use with wood, I like the 11z. I am building a deck with composite decking and preferred the 11z for the composite boards because the 14z is just to fast in top speed and too slow in second gear. While the T mode did not work out good either because the shavings would get in the way and after clearing them the 14z would start back out in full speed mode causing overdriving. I just have better control with the 11z and the driving speed is fast but not so fast it is hard to control in short burst like the 14z. I also have the OG Kobalt Impact displayed in this video and I am not that impressed with it's power since it struggled a little taking a lug nut off my wife's parent's car. I got it on sale for $169 though but I would prefer to get the Makita equivalent when funding allows. It is good but not for really tough larger bolts and nuts.
You dont have to but if you care youd have a torque wrench. And it seemed like in mode 1 it was just under the torque spec. And yes mode 2 would have overtightened it.
I have tons of kobalt tools and what compelled me to visit your video was I'm sick of using a four way. Wanted to see if this lives up to it's standards.... I'll be back after video lol
Will the XTR battery is still better than ATG & CAT's battery? The two use Graphene batteries. We been using graphene batteries and liked over the lithium batteries.
I’m here looking for the best bang for the buck alternative to milwaukee. I know I know, I’m a milwaukee fan but don’t want to spend too much just to do small repairs on my vehicle. Bigger work gets sent in but I would like to do some myself.
This new line of tools are very impressive! I'm still going with my milwaukee fuel 1/2 impact because I'm in the platform other than that kobalt is a great choice.
Got my self the xtr impact wrench but my battery goes half way after doing tire rotates on 2 cars...would it be a diffective battery or would need to break in the battery and tool only had for 3 days now
Again I'm sold on this tool.. saving my pennies to cop me one.. I bought a kobalt hammmer drill a few years back I use it a few times with the 2ah batt.. it kick ass!!.. I'm a Rigid man but not for long
I have been looking for a impact wrench I was thinking about getting the Milwaukee but I think I might get the xtr, I also got one of you hats it’s super nice! SMASH THE LIKE BUTTON!
Most people don’t need 1200ft lbs like the kobalt xtr or 1400ft lbs like the Milwaukee high torque. Most people only need a mid torque impact. I do have multiple Milwaukee and 1 xtr, but I’m a farmer that works on his own equipment. Even working on our own equipment, we only use the heavy high torque’s when the mid torque’s don’t get it done. We have multiple Milwaukee and dewalt mid torque impacts and they’re the “go to”. much lighter, more compact, just more manageable.
VCG Construction man i love your show great job showing what these tools can do with your shall I say expert advice. Hands down best on UA-cam you guys should get a stand up applaud 👏 great job guys best in class hands down been a sub for a while now since you guys started. I watch every single video you guys put out puts me in a good mood watching you guys since this pandemic hit it killed my BUISNESS been out of work since March and watching you guys makes me feel like I'm on the job!!! Absolutely love it. Unfortunately I had to sell all my tools to pay rent in these hard times. But you guys bring a little extra happiness to this stay at home bs. Be safe and keep up the good work have a blessed day love you guys.....
The XTR impact driver is a beast, i got a 3/8 adapter and used it pull idler arm bracket bolts that were torqued to 150 ft lbs on a rusty old ford ripped them right out.
@@ItalianoDio- Old post, but Kobalt has an XTR impact driver too, and that's what I think he meant, since it wouldn't be much to brag about for an impact wrench rated at 1200 ft lbs to remove bolts torqued at 150 ft lbs. The impact driver is rated at 2400 in lbs, which is 200 ft lbs, and when equipped with a socket adapter, it's more than capable of removing bolts torqued at 150 ft pounds. I keep mine in my truck, and use it routinely to remove lug nuts torqued to those specs.
I love this Kobalt XTR 1/2 impact, been using it the last few months. Quick note a 6 amp hr battery will fit in the case without needing the foam insert that comes with the impact. Its not like my Milwaukee 2767 but for the power to price ratio and the warranty I don't think it can be beat. 5yr warranty on the tool and 3 yrs on the battery. To compare harbor freights earthquake 1/2 impact only comes with a 90 day warranty and then you have to buy the extended warranty making the Earthquake significantly higher. Anyway another great video in the books.
I have the previous generation 1/2” impact wrench. Tempted to get the XTR or Milwaukee high torque, but to be honest, working on Jeep suspensions and old rusty bolts on older Jeeps, I haven’t needed more power. And I like that it isn’t so easy to over torque a fastener with it.
I guess you didn’t read the instructions on the 24 max. It does have a hand tight mode that makes it nice and a slow down mode that works on reverse. I just bought it 3 days ago. I didn’t want the big one since it was so heavy and we have 3/4" and 1" air impacts at the shop.
I have the old model too, and I'm perfectly happy with it. I bought it on sale a couple of years ago for about half the price shown in this video, and unlike the XTR model, the kit also included a fan equipped fast charger.
Have that too, but more importantly, it’s a fan-cooled charger that you could hear the fan loudly running! I like the way it’s built, very stiff & durable.
@vcg construction Any idea why I am no longer getting my notifications? I am subscribed and have all notifications from you guys enabled and get the notification within UA-cam, but no email notifications. Thanks!
I got the makita high torque impact wrench, witchbthos kolbalt looks to be word of warning on these high torque impact wrenches, the gears can bind and burn out and lock the tool up, i had my makita serviced, the rep said that its quite common in the makitas, i would assume I may apply to other brands as well. But for the extra cash the 3 speed one is the way to go, I use mine daily
Been looking at going to a new tool brand for bout a yr but not knowing what to go to. Been leaning toward kobalt but still undecided. I really want a tool line that has a decent radio charger but few have good ones
I brought the older one a few months before the xtr was released. But I'm not complaining, I really like the older one so I wont be replacing anytime soon.
Same company makes them(im guessing you knew that though) id love to see skil come out with a bunch more 12v stuff give Milwaukee a good run, competition is always good for the consumer.😁
I picked up the xtr drill driver with the 4Ahr battery last week. Love it so far. Waiting to see if the come out with a cordless brad nailer before i buy in to much
BROTHER I LOVE WHAT U DID WITH THAT KOLBAT XTR 1/2" . I'M THINKING OF BUYING ONE BUT U SHOW MW THAT ONE N THAT'S THE TICKET RIGHT THERE. LET ME SAY I'M FROM PHILA. PA. LOVE YOUR SHOW. YOU'ER THE MEN. GOD BLESS BE SAFE
Watching because I just bought a metabo hpt brushless 18v impact wrench, wanted to see what others were like. Also looking to find cheap impact sockets.
Hey Vince... would love to see a VS video for the dewalt high torque vs ridgid high torque vs kobalt xtr vs milwaukee high torque!... cheers from Canada :)
I run makita. But I love tools and knowledge. I like to see other brands battle it out in case I ever need something I don't have. Saves money, time, effort.
And now Nov 2024 Rona ( canadian Lowes) is blowing the kit out at $114 usd🎉🤯. Gotta get one asap before they're gone. Also getting the right angle wrench (49 usd) and the ratchet(45usd)!! Together for less then a Dewalt, or Milwaukee or Bosch (and im a Bosch guy, but not for a 350 bare tool that i use 4x a year)
I have both of these, the XTR would NOT break the lug nuts loose on my 93 dodge dually. 5/8 studs with 1 1/8 nuts. Ended up breaking them lose with 3/4 rachet.
Ridgid came out with a high torque impact too.. Vince maybe you can do some testing to see what torque these high torque wrenches will apply and break away... Usually with the 800lb breakaway you can do anything a mechanic would need but being a pneumatic guy its always a big claim seeing anything but a 400$ ir or nitro cat hitting them numbers
The torque spec is only 154 ft/lbs on those steel wheels lol just fyi. This part is added i seen you used the correct torque putting them back on but there was a 170 ft/lb mention in the beginning
I own the old version and yes you can choose the speed its in the trigger, if you pull trigger all the way when you start that will be max speed however pulling the trigger to about half way when starting will give you a lower speed, and as obvious as that may seem it does state this in the instructions
FYI - the Kobalt electric mowers are HALF off right now, but just the push ones at my location. The self propelled are like 15 percent off. $249 for the 80 volt push mower is awesome.
Also at mine. $250 push, $300 for self propelled. Greenworks self propelled $249 push $259, how that makes sense, I don’t know. I’ve been admiring these all summer but my bad experience with kobalt’s warranty department on a string trimmer has me leary. I hate to pass but a don’t need another peice of garbage after 5 minutes of use!
@@matthewpeters8790 I need self propelled because my property is hilly. If the propelled unit was half off I'd bite but it ain't, so I'm gonna pass too. But I like the idea of no gas, oil, carb cleaning, etc.
Picked up a Gen 1 on sale about a year ago for 170.00. Tool/4.0 battery/ charger and bag. Great tool for simple car maintenance. Gen 2 seems awesome but no need to go out and buy it, maybe the 5/6th gen lol

Can you plz review The dewalt dcf899 impact wrench
Clicked on it cause I work in the tools part of Rona in Québec and we juste received some of the Kobalt Xtr line. Nice to see it properly tested
I just bought the xtr version, at my local Lowe's you got a free 4ah battery with the kit made the choice easy also bought the high pressure inflator.
Just got this for Christmas last night and wanted to check out a review.
its a great tool, youre going to love it.
Awesome video. Man that XTR is a beast 💪
Why do you have to retight them by hand cant the impact do it???
You dont have to but if you care youd have a torque wrench. And it seemed like in mode 1 it was just under the torque spec.
And yes mode 2 would have overtightened it.
im sold on them an i found the ompact for 199 as we speak getting rady to go grab it love the videos you guys help so many people
I have tons of kobalt tools and what compelled me to visit your video was I'm sick of using a four way. Wanted to see if this lives up to it's standards.... I'll be back after video lol
Will the XTR battery is still better than ATG & CAT's battery?
The two use Graphene batteries.

Just got a xtr circular and it’s kickass but I just purchased the older line a week before these xtr came out
Older tool line
Sure. Wish I could afford to get into the XTR KIT. Stay Blessed 💘💞 my Friend !!!!!!!

Davidson Mott yep dewalt 20 volt max
Most people don’t need 1200ft lbs like the kobalt xtr or 1400ft lbs like the Milwaukee high torque. Most people only need a mid torque impact. I do have multiple Milwaukee and 1 xtr, but I’m a farmer that works on his own equipment.

What about putting thread in a small needle
Quit fuxking around Throw some wood under it. And get it done

I picked up the xtr drill driver with the 4Ahr battery last week. Love it so far. Waiting to see if the come out with a cordless brad nailer before i buy in to much
Wondering if you could do a kobalt xtr vs earthquake 1/2 impact shoot out!
I just bought one for $219, also comes with a free angle drill
BROTHER I LOVE WHAT U DID WITH THAT KOLBAT XTR 1/2" . I'M THINKING OF BUYING ONE BUT U SHOW MW THAT ONE N THAT'S THE TICKET RIGHT THERE. LET ME SAY I'M FROM PHILA. PA. LOVE YOUR SHOW. YOU'ER THE MEN. GOD BLESS BE SAFE
Thanks William, we appreciate it and you as well!
I clicked on the video because you guys have great content... Keep it up the good work... Can't wait for pipeline 🤙🤙🤙
Watching because I just bought a metabo hpt brushless 18v impact wrench, wanted to see what others were like. Also looking to find cheap impact sockets.
Why did you had to do the 2nd thighting by hand?
Is that the "GO" from super smash bros?
😂🤣
It is
Same font and everything too
Just picked up the XTR model for $200 from lowes. What was strange is they had both models for $200.
Hey Vince... would love to see a VS video for the dewalt high torque vs ridgid high torque vs kobalt xtr vs milwaukee high torque!... cheers from Canada :)
I run makita. But I love tools and knowledge. I like to see other brands battle it out in case I ever need something I don't have. Saves money, time, effort.
And now Nov 2024 Rona ( canadian Lowes) is blowing the kit out at $114 usd🎉🤯. Gotta get one asap before they're gone. Also getting the right angle wrench (49 usd) and the ratchet(45usd)!! Together for less then a Dewalt, or Milwaukee or Bosch (and im a Bosch guy, but not for a 350 bare tool that i use 4x a year)
Bought one today! I was surprised when I went to the shelf! XTR
Well how does it do compared to the milwaukee fuel high torque impact wrench senses I will not be investing in to a nother battery platform.
Nobody else put the XTR against the 24V MAX....good job
I lwas wondering if if were worth it
I got that bell on, so ofc I clicked to see what you guys are up to.
I have both of these, the XTR would NOT break the lug nuts loose on my 93 dodge dually. 5/8 studs with 1 1/8 nuts. Ended up breaking them lose with 3/4 rachet.
I got the older version for $129 on sale. Could not pass it up at that price. All my other tools are XTR though.
Another great review like always
I bought this impact wrench a few months ago and can attest to it's quality and power. Top notch for sure. Would love to see this in a TTR
Ridgid came out with a high torque impact too.. Vince maybe you can do some testing to see what torque these high torque wrenches will apply and break away... Usually with the 800lb breakaway you can do anything a mechanic would need but being a pneumatic guy its always a big claim seeing anything but a 400$ ir or nitro cat hitting them numbers
The torque spec is only 154 ft/lbs on those steel wheels lol just fyi. This part is added i seen you used the correct torque putting them back on but there was a 170 ft/lb mention in the beginning
How much are the batteries?
I own the old version and yes you can choose the speed its in the trigger, if you pull trigger all the way when you start that will be max speed however pulling the trigger to about half way when starting will give you a lower speed, and as obvious as that may seem it does state this in the instructions

FYI - the Kobalt electric mowers are HALF off right now, but just the push ones at my location. The self propelled are like 15 percent off. $249 for the 80 volt push mower is awesome.
Also at mine. $250 push, $300 for self propelled. Greenworks self propelled $249 push $259, how that makes sense, I don’t know. I’ve been admiring these all summer but my bad experience with kobalt’s warranty department on a string trimmer has me leary. I hate to pass but a don’t need another peice of garbage after 5 minutes of use!
@@matthewpeters8790 I need self propelled because my property is hilly. If the propelled unit was half off I'd bite but it ain't, so I'm gonna pass too. But I like the idea of no gas, oil, carb cleaning, etc.
Picked up a Gen 1 on sale about a year ago for 170.00. Tool/4.0 battery/ charger and bag. Great tool for simple car maintenance. Gen 2 seems awesome but no need to go out and buy it, maybe the 5/6th gen lol
Fantastic bargain.
I wasn’t even there for power tools, but when i saw it, I was like yup I’m gonna take that for that price, Iv been looking for one anyway lol
@@mhviper1987 I don't blame you. I'd probably have bought it even if I already had one. Lol.
They're both $199 at Lowes while supplies last. I got the XTR instead. I'm coming from a Mid torque Ryobi.
Good stuff Vince 😎😁👍👍
I have the old one but man I still buying the new one waiting for black Friday
Can you do a ttr with this concept with kobalt vs ridgid
Can you do a competition between the Milwaukee 1/2 fuel with friction rings
And see which one is better or any other brand is better than Milwaukee
As a excavation contractor I recommend the xrt to any one that works with heavy equipment/ heavy trucks
I clicked cause your always on the cutting edge if new tools!
I got this XTR to compare with Pneumatic AIRCAT 1150. I was really impressed with XTR, I decided I will return Aircat and keep XTR.
Hello Vince, can you please do a review for Makita XRF02 Autofeed Screwgun for Drywall
Looks amazing. Cool review.
