Cojawfee posted:"Why can't you make it to work? You only live 2 miles a way." I know you’re joking, but this screenshot is from a drag and drive event where they’ll put almost a thousand miles on the car over the course of a week, so it’s not as bad as all that. But it is still amusing to hear him talk about how happy he is with the insides of a motor with 1500 miles on it. Speaking of horrible mechanical failures, he’s got a spectacular one here. Custom rod delete on his 6 second roadmaster wagon. This is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen. He’s not much of a personality, and spends a lot of time worrying about what the people in the comments are saying, but he knows how to build a real motor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=com9fTAr7eU

How in the gently caress? The data logger he went through showed two drops in oil pressure, the first one somewhat smaller and the second precipitous. First rod went, blew a hole out, oil pressure dropped, and the engine rapidly oil starved and beat itself up at 8k rpm, then blew several more holes as each rod went in succession? Maybe hand-in-hand with suspect metallurgy in that batch of con rods?

It sounded like it was a case of "we've seen them used reliably up to X horsepower but don't know what the actual limit is" and now they know it's somewhere below whatever he was making.

With how many of them failed (all 8) there's a very strong case to be made that the material batch was bad and this is on the material supplier not the rod manufacturer or Steve.

It appears that Milwaukee has done a dumb. They've redesigned the 2767 1/2" high-torque impact that has been so incredibly tough - it's the one Torque Test Channel modded with a gas weedeater engine and nitrous and made 1000+ pound-feet of torque with - and it's a piece of poo poo. It looks exactly the same on the outside, but some bean counter had them redesign how the planetary gears are fixed, and now they break after a couple lug nuts: https://toolguyd.com/milwaukees-m18-fuel-2767-impact-wrench-probems/  The idiots put the axle pins of the planetary gears in single shear, AND removed a bearing for the planetary cage. Actually, they basically eliminated the planetary cage altogether. There's a video at the end from Torque Test Channel, which is where I actually saw this first. This is incredibly disappointing. "Value Management" destroying every ounce of reputation and good will they had for this tool, and probably the company. I mean, what else will they value manage next?

One thing AvE was right about is that they're always slowly lowering quality, once enough people complain, they'll put on a big campaign about how tough their tools are, maybe move final assembly to the US. Work uses all Milwaukee, and I was excited to use these tools that always come out on top in head-to-head reviews, and they're not great, especially the drills, even more plastic than my DeWalts, chucks with teeth that become smooth with relatively little use. We have an application that requires sustained high-torque operation, and I got the big 18V Hole-Hawg because we'd have to change out the smaller drills when they got too hot. Huge disappointment, it torques out under moderate load, and the motor trashed itself after about 30 minutes of operation.

Milwaukee is stopping sales of the new design and reverting to the original design. All tools sold with the new design can be returned direct to Milwaukee for replacement with the original design, and store inventory will be completely reverted to the original design by Nov 1. So, they hosed up, but at least they are doing the right thing. It does sound like they're having some quality creep though, which is worrying. Serial code H96A is the good one, H96B is the bad one. `Nemesis fucked around with this message at 20:42 on Oct 7, 2022 |

I was really impressed with the DeWalt DCF982 I got. It's almost too much impact wrench for my needs. I kind of figured 600lbs was marketspeak, but uh, it does 600 lbs tightening without a sweat.

slidebite posted:I'll agree with Nissan, but I just can't with mitsu. I recognize it's totally anecdote and probably full of bias, but my family has periodically had Mitsubishi's for years (since the 80s if you include Dodge Colts) and while they've been total boring appliance vehicles, they have been absolutely dead nuts reliable. At least as reliable as the Hondas and Toyotas we've had. Potentially more so. Crank walk. Their stuff (not counting the 4G63 after crank walk struck) is reliable, just... boring as hell, and tends to do that GM thing where the car falls apart around the drivetrain. They'll also finance just about anyone, much like Nissan. They use Jatco CVTs just like Nissan, but they're putting a hell of a lot less power through them. I'd still consider one if I needed an appliance and a long warranty, but the local Mitsu dealer is scummy as hell. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 01:25 on Oct 10, 2022 |

wesleywillis posted:Welcome to last week in a couple other threads (or maybe earlier this week?) Not according to the Torque Test Channel. 745-ish in forward stock, and the gas powered one only goes in forward (1100+ foot pounds.) I didn't see any other threads with this info, but I don't sub to the tools thread or whatever. Thought it fit it here just fine. So if you knew previously, you failed to post it in the appropriate place, didn't you? :P `Nemesis posted:Milwaukee is stopping sales of the new design and reverting to the original design. Good. Milwaukee is supposed to be the actual "you need a good reliable tool" brand, not the homeowner brand. I just use Ryobi because it's good enough for what I do. I'll move up if and when I start breaking tools enough to justify the additional cost, or just flat out need mo' powah. I was considering the Milwaukee impacts because the Ryobi 1/2" isn't particularly spectacular, but Team Red is just so damned expensive - not just the tool, but the batteries and charger. The Dewalt that nitrogen mentions is another option (TTC likes those as well) but they recently tested the new HF Hercules "High-Torque" and "Ultra Torque" models, and they did well against the Dewalt and Milwaukee respectively, for a bit (around $60 for the tools - more for the batteries) cheaper. They were really impressed that HF is selling a 12.0Ah battery for $140 (versus $260 for Milwaukee 12.0.) I like that TTC tests the various brands against each other, weeding out the BS.

Darchangel posted:Not according to the Torque Test Channel. Yeah, I have the big dewalt impact and it is very good. Less expensive and slightly fewer ft lbs but not in a way that matters for any of us, I think. I’m skeptical of anything HF but I know they’ve made a few good things.

Darchangel posted:Not according to the Torque Test Channel. Those Torque numbers are the same as the old corded tools horsepower ratings, maybe generously achievable under a biased manufacturer's test. I'd also bet a HF "12 Ah" battery has way less actual amp hours than the equivalent Milwaukee or Dewalt. I have the big Dewalt 1/2", and it's awesome, a step down from the equivalent Milwaukee, but whatever.

Steve Morris has a failed engine, where an air leak from the intake is hot enough to melt the fuel injectors. Puts in perspective how ridiculous these engines are, and how big the cooling capacity of vaporizing methanol is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwdWo1nLzGE&t=156s
