controllable torque- a Milwaukee 2863 high torque impact wrench review



This is Milwaukee Tool’s first High Torque Impact Wrench with One-Key and it will do much more than the normal customization, tracking, and management of the tool.    While some were debating if being able to change settings on a impact were needed at all,  Milwaukee was taking the time to make a more accurate and controllable performance from the tool for mechanics and trades alike
ONE-Key  is a bluetooth enabled customization tool that allows it too change any of the 4 settings to your desire. you dont need to pull out the phone everytime just set it up to how you use and its good to go , only if you need to change settings do you need to connect again 
  • 1000ft-lbs of fastening torque and 1400ft-lbs of nut-busting torque
  • Most compact cordless High Torque Impact Wrench at 8.39″ in length
  • ONE-KEY – Customize, Track and Manage tool’s performance and location
  • Easily toggle four custom performance profiles that can be saved to the memory of the tool
  • Features a friction ring design to ensure quick and easy socket changes
  • LED light to illuminate the work area

the power of the tool is a full pneumatic replacement. in full power its 1400 ft lbs of reverse torque it is true workable power from a not so large package. many will take advantage of the one keys tracking and managing that the app provides. but with control modes such as lug nut control and concrete anchor mode these provide ease of use but the tool still allows control over individual torque levels and saftey remove modes as well. 


Milwaukee changes the placement of the LED light.  That small LED light is very bright and in some cases can interfere with mode changes.  Many users will light that they can adjust this light in the One-Key settings.
