Have a new impact for this weekends car-fixy work.

I have used the 1/2" M18 compact (2855) for years on lug nuts and brakes, never a problem ... but 32mm axle bolts and bearing press prob be too much for it.

Standing over it - the new gen 3 1/2" high torque (2967). Rated 1,600 ft-lbs vs 250, 640% more, and uh.

Can feel that. Or maybe not, rusted bolts just come right off (or snap). Wow. It is insane, like legit crazy powerful. I... am impressed.

I have a small 150-ish watt inverter from Milwaukee that attaches to their M18 batteries. It looks like it’s kicked the bucket. I’ve hardly used it. I don’t think it gets the same awesome warranty as their other tools and whatnot.

I checked with multiple batteries to confirm.

I’ve used it to power something over 100W so it’s a bit weird to fail when I’m only demanding less than 50W.

So much for a portable power supply for my heat pad…

My Milwaukee string trimmer started doing this repeating surging thing. I had my newest battery in it that was a warranty replacement for a failed battery so I tested with another battery and the issue continued.

I need to do a bit more checking to make sure I’m not causing the issue before exploring warranty options.

It works and gets the job done. But might be an impending total failure.
