    What a beast. :D

    Weighing in at 6 Ibs, thats a real heavy duty. :P Looks good though, I give you that.'t

    WIth brushless though, Milwaukee can give you 1200 Inch ibs at 5 ibs weight. :) Can't beat that.

    The thing is, Milwaukee is a marketing company. I love my Milwaukee stuff, but I think they are a little too liberal with the specs.

    My new Hilti Impact says that is it only 1460 in-lbf, whereas the Milwaukee claims 1600 in-lbf. The thing is, the Hilti feels slightly more powerful. I was testing by driving 3 1/4 #8 wood screws into a 4/4.

    Milwaukee claims 3600 ipm, but that is under no load. Hilti is 3450 ipm, but doesn't bog down like the Milwaukee does.

    The Hilti stuff is rated at 18 volt minimum, 23 volt max, which is a little odd!

    The biggest thing I noticed was how much quieter the Hilti is. The Milwaukee screams!

    This isn't Milwaukee bashing, I own a complete set of fuel tools. It just seems marketing is more important than real world usable stats lately.

    Just making something brushless doesn't make it better. Look at some of the first Makita brushless stuff they rolled out too early to try to compete. It was lack luster and underwhelming.

    Jury is sill out tool lifespan too. That's another conversation though!
