Can I Use an M12 Impact for Sharpening Mower Blades?

Asked By GardenGadgetry42 On

Hey everyone! I'm curious if anyone has used an M12 impact tool to remove mower blades for sharpening. Currently, I have a DeWalt 20V impact with a 3/8" socket adapter that gets the job done, but I'm thinking about switching to a Milwaukee one. Will the M12 be powerful enough for this task?

I’m a mechanic and just got the M12 stubby impact, and wow, it packs a punch! I still use bigger tools for some tasks, but this little guy has quickly become a favorite. If you get the 5.0 H.O. battery, it really boosts its power. I think it’ll serve you well for mowing blades!

That's good to know! I was wondering if the battery would make a big difference. Sounds like I might need to grab one!

Totally! The M12 stubby impact has around 550 ft-lbs of breakaway torque, which is more than sufficient for mower blades. I haven’t tried it myself yet since I’m still using my regular high-torque impact wrench, but I hear great things about it!
