My 4th cordless 1/2in impact, IR 20v 1500lb rated

I have the latest 2767-20 Milwaukee with claimed 1400 lb-ft nut busting tq. I ran into some over torqued lug nuts a couple months ago on a truck, and to my surprise, the Milwaukee would NOT take them off, even with a shortie 1/2 impact socket! We tried another guy's Milwaukee, same result.

Another tech with the latest Snap On 1/2" impact (CT-9075 I believe) rated at 1100 or 1200 lb-ft took ALL the lug nuts off without hardly an extra second of hammering! I tried for 8-10 seconds straight, multiple time with my Milwaukee, and they didn't budge! Needless to say, for once.....I was VERY impressed with Snap On! Now.....I couldn't justify the $850 or whatever that thing cost for the extra punch (compared to $299 for my Milwaukee!), but I can say their cordless impact is the real deal!!
I’ve experienced the same issue...
 
My Earthquake has never failed me lol. I’ve never used one of the impact guns from Milwaukee. I’ve used the screw gun and stuff. That’s disappointing they won’t take off overtorqued lug nuts.
