Anyone use this yet?  I just picked one up because my old milwaukee(brushed motor) wasnt able to lift the fish house.  We have a tungue jack up front that it worked fine on but back by the wheels it struggled.  had 500inch lbs of torque and this new one has 1200.  Hoping that pushes me over the edge and does the trick.  Already have 4 2ah batteries so wanted to stick with the brand.  Any feedback would be appreciated!

Mikita puts out a high torque drill and the Rigid as well plus a life time warranty on Rigid drill and batteries you can't beat. If you burn either up your asking way way too much from the drill.

 Too Bad about the Fuel.  All 3 mentioned are great drills for ice augers and all are handle the 8" Nils like a champ.

I dont know.  I was looking for about 1000 inch lbs and the milwaukee advertises 1200 which makes me think I may have had a defective unit.  I may be looking in the wrong place but I dont show either of those drills getting there in torque?  I wouldve tried for another but I think we're going electric to make it easier.

Is it possible the 1000 inch pound figure is not correct?   Did you, or could, you put a torque wrench on the jack and see what it takes?

I did run a torque wrench and was hitting around 800-1000.  It's possible that if I had one jack higher than the other the torque went up.  Biggest issue I have is that I have exceeded the torque on plenty of othe drills and the clutch just slipped rather than breaking in the past.  Again I love their product so I'm leaning/ hoping more towards one defective drill.  Ether way it showed me my application was to close to capacity for that drill to be reliable,

Did you have the clutch in the locked "drill" position?   Some cordless drills have such a position.

Is this the drill?

https://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/cordless/2603-22

That page says 725 inch pounds, but it has a 5 year warranty.  

On the other hand, this page says 1200

as does this one... 

https://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/cordless/2703-22

 

Looks like one is the 2603 and the other is the 2703

 

Then there is the 2704 and 2705.  

They talk about "peak torque" in all the specs.... wonder what that means.

Anyway, these have to be in screw mode to have the clutch work.  looked at the manual pdf.   It seems to be separate mode thing, unlike what I am used to where it is setting on the clutch.

Yep two different drills there and yes it had drive or hammer and I had it in the driver function.  Still felt like a great drill and more torque than any battery drill I've ever used, but just wouldn't do what I needed and I didnt have any other use for it to justify keeping it.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
