NicholasShetley Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 I finally bought the Milwaukee 2763 and so far I am impressed. This thing is a beast so far but I haven't put it to a real test yet. I've only used it on tires so far but it takes them off without an issue so far. My classmate has the snap on impact and it has far less power than the Milwaukee. To me the balance is much better on the Milwaukee too. The snap on gun is much more nose heavy. I didn't notice much difference in weight though. The light is much brighter on the snap on gun but it doesn't stay on after you release the trigger. I also have some pictures comparing the two side by side. The Milwaukee is shorter but wider and the snap on is slightly angled. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Awesome Nicholas! Thanks for sharing this! Are you running both at work at the same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasShetley Posted November 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Awesome Nicholas! Thanks for sharing this! Are you running both at work at the same time? I have the Milwaukee and another classmate has the snap on. I read online that the impact itself is made by Bosch for snap on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmikez Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Thanks for sharing the pics bro!! I'm pretty sure that 2763 is gonna put many many smiles on your face cus mine sure does Thanks Nicholas!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmed Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 The 2763 is a welcome addition to my garage. My past arsenal of air impact's, socket handle pipes and torches are so far unused since getting the 2763. I did not believe the torque numbers before I got it. I figured maybe 500 lbs but not 700 lbs. I'm a believer now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasShetley Posted November 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 I've used this impact for about a week now and I have to say I am incredibly impressed with the performance of this gun. The power is right up there with the top of the line air impacts. The runtime is incredible too. So far I've used it to remove and install 4 sets of tires, change the sway bar end links on my friends car, and changed a wheel bearing/hub on an early 2000s Chevy one ton. It didn't hesitate on any of the bolts and it still had two of the four bars on the battery on it. I also shot a video of the impact removing some lug nuts that haven't been touched in a while and I'll upload it when it is done uploading. Overall I am very impressed with this gun. I doubt my air gun will see much use from here on out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicholasShetley Posted December 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 I'll have some time off over the next couple of weeks and I might shoot some more in action footage. I'll try and compare it to my dads IR2135 and try it out on some tougher and bigger bolts too. Is there anything you guys would like to see? I can get some 5/8 lag bolts of you guys are interested. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fazzman Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 I really want to get a 2763,but I havent broken into the Milwaukee line yet. There are several tools Milwaukee makes i want to add to the arsenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasShetley Posted December 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Well this morning I was shooting the video of the Milwaukee vs the IR and I had a grade 8, 3/4 inch nut and bolt. I let the IR hit for 5 seconds on forward and tried to remove it with the Milwaukee but I guess the IR stretched the bolt and the threads were all rolled over so the bolt was ruined. The Milwaukee loosened it up though. I'll try to find another way to compare them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing the power these battery powered impact wrenches have.I remember using my father's plug-in impact wrench years ago and not being very impressed. So I decided to go with air impacts. My 2763 has me neglecting those air impacts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicholasShetley Posted December 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Here is the video. You can see that the Milwaukee loosened the bolt up immediately but the threads are massively damaged though. https://youtu.be/-xr6iRmqXKU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasShetley Posted January 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I tried to shear a 1/2 grade 8 bolt again and this time the bolt finally gave. I used two grade 8 nuts and a couple of washers. The bolt actually crushed one of the washers so hard that it made it break into a few pieces. The washer underneath it was bowed in a lot too. I have owned this gun for about three months now and I wish I would have bought it sooner. I have also used my classmates snap on a few times since then and I don't like it at all, it is super nose heavy and it will get hot just taking a set of tires off. I also ordered the gen 2 3/8 impact and it should be here early next week. The same classmate also has the snap on 3/8 18v impact and I'll try and get some pictures to compare the two. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mondo1310 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Hands down Milwaukee is best all the way around, warranty, power, size, and price. Don't forget Milwaukee sells a protective boot for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget Milwaukee sells a protective boot for it. I'll probably get it at some point. It has a couple of scratches on the nose and one on the plastic housing where it fell off the alignment lift but it only suffered cosmetic damage. Do they sell it in stores or online only?
