Milwaukee 9072-22 – Serious Torque!
When it comes to fixing bolts and screws, if you go with traditional methods, you’re in for a world of hurt. The introduction of the electric impact wrench has brought a big change to how the construction industry, garages and workshops operate. Electric Impact wrenches deliver high torque power at the touch of a button, making the removal of rusted up lug nuts an absolute breeze. Compared to their compressed air cousins, the electric impact wrench is lighter, offers a higher degree of portability and is generally a more cost effective high torque solution.
The 9072-22 Milwaukee Electric Impact Wrench is one such power tool. And, as you might expect from a company with a reputation like Milwaukee, it’s a serious piece of kit. Don’t let the fact that it weights only about 6lbs fool you – this little beast can handle heavy duty jobs thanks to an impressive power to weight ratio. This is mainly due to the powerful 7 amp motor which drives a unique impact mechanism.
How does 300ft./lbs of torque sound? How about variable speed 600 – 1800 RPM and 1000 – 2600 impacts per minute sound? With options like these, you can just snug-up a nut or bolt and really let rip on a bolt that seems to have been welded on! The Milwaukee lets you get the job done quick and the rocker switch action means choosing your speed and impact settings couldn’t be simpler. The variable-speed reversing feature is particularly cool. This works as a dial built into the trigger. Turn the dial clockwise to increase the rotations per minute and impacts per minute. Turn it the other way to decrease them. As you can see, Milwaukee means business with the 9072-22 electric impact wrench.
The Milwaukee 9072-22 Electric Impact Wrench has also been engineered with comfort in mind too. The handle has been ergonomically shaped to fit nicely in the hand and to allow prolonged used without the strain. The cushioned grip is like the icing on the cake, so you can use the 9072-22 frequently and for long stretches. All of this leads to improved control during use.
When I bought my Milwaukee electric impact wrench, it came with six impact grade sockets, from the 1/2 right up to 13/16 inch sockets, which really offers a lot of versatility. You’re pretty much set for anything with a set of sockets like that. The 10 –foot quik-lok 2 wire cord and the variable speed reversing switch adds to the comfort of its use. You can use this wrench for drilling applications and driving lag bolts as well.
I use my Milwaukee 9072-22 for DIY automotive work mainly. Before I bought it, I was forced to use a lug wrench to try and loosen lug nuts that had been over-tightened by the local mechanic. Not an easy process! So, here’s my conclusion on this particular rattle gun. It’s light. It’s way powerful. It’s versatile and it’s less expensive that other comparable models by DeWalt and Hitachi. Most importantly, it’s easy to use and has not let me down once. Oh, yeah…. you don’t need an air compressor to get it to work.. The 9072-22 Milwaukee Electric Impact Wrench does not disappoint.
