Milwaukee released new m12 right angle impact wrenches available in 3/8, 1/2 hog ring, and 1/2″ pin detent. 220ft/lbs of nut busting torque which is a lot better than the current M18 right angle impact that has 60 ft/lbs of torque. Looks like they’ll be out sometime in June.
Sounds like a good option, look forward to seeing it in person!
I haven’t really had a chance to use it and see how it compares but here are a few side by sides of some comparable tools if anyone was wondering. Personally I wish it was a little smaller head but to get 220ft/lbs of torque I guess you can only get so small.
That IS an impressive amount of impact torque and it almost certainly explains the large head, as that’s almost certainly where they put the impact “hammers”
Yea the m18 right angle is small and fits in a lot of places but its pretty weak when it gets there.
