yotebuster Report post Posted January 10, 2023 I’ve got all Dewalt stuff but that’s only because I got started with them. I would go Milwaukee in a heartbeat if I could switch all mine. I do like the 60v Dewalt option though. Love their air compressor, have two lawnmowers, blowers, weed eaters, chain saws every drill saw, grinder etc they make. Honestly have no reason to prefer Milwaukee, just what I hear. I probably have 25-30 Dewalt tools and 10-15 batteries and never had an issue with any one of them and a lot of them ride around in my ram box year round, from 105 above to -40 here in ND. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dustin25 Report post Posted January 10, 2023 I use them both, Milwaukee at work and dewalt at home. They are both awesome, I don’t prefer one over the other. I’d probably go with dewalt just because I think there are more tools out there that use their battery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted January 10, 2023 I had a really nice Dewalt set, but someone decided they needed it more than I did. I got a good deal on another set, so I've got the basics again. Didn't really need it. Don't do "that type" of stuff too often but love having it when I do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n2horns Report post Posted January 11, 2023 For those that do tire changesnin the field, do you use impact on splined lugnuts off and on? Or low tighten and finish with a torque wrench? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or low tighten and finish with a torque wrench? I use my m18 fuel impact driver (not wrench). 1/4 to 1/2 anvil adapter is all I need and it buzzes off lugs that were torqued to 100ftlb even on low settings. Haven’t found a reason to get the dedicated impact wrench since the more versatile driver is so good for occasional stuff. Perfect for tightening bolts on bottom plates too. to answer your question , I use the medium setting; if I hold the trigger for a second or two once snugged up it ends up being around 100lbft based on comparing with torque wrench at home . Good enough for the field . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dustin25 Report post Posted January 11, 2023 That’s cool. The impact driver won’t loosen lug nuts on my truck, but the impact wrench does easily Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine is the latest model gen 4 I think. If that makes a difference. it is too powerful on the high setting, breaks off lags real quick if I’m not careful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zackcarp Report post Posted January 13, 2023 At work there were guys changing tires with impact and not snugging up the lugs with the tire iron, those tires fell off. I always tighten with lug wrench after the impact to be sure. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
