Dewalt DCF899 is beast 

I noticed that too and wondered if anyone else would comment on it!

I am not used to battery tools being able to do so much torque. I am old school, from the pneumatic days.

@@deanecton8629 yes, says 700 lb/ft spec. Buy quality.

How many left-hand threads have you snapped off like that?

​​​@@Nza420better catch up to the times my man! An old dog can always learn new tricks, air tools are becoming dinosaurs

Much better eh? I plan on wearing this one out before I upgrade.

@@Nza420 I got the dcf900 since I needed a high torque and my dcf901 is basically a mid torque in it's own right. (Recently upgraded cuz deals and major car work) Have yet to find anything that the 900 can't break loose. To the point I half threaten my friend to steal his semi's lug nuts while he sleeps.

@@dr_tal Good to know. This thing is super handy, especially in a wrecking yard or working out and about.

​@@dr_talWait til you get the DCF 961, makes my 900 look weaksauce

@@diazaaCan you buy it yet or is still a unicorn? Want to buy the 900 but am willing to wait if Dewalt will release the 961 some when soon.

I agree, this was too easy for this thing.

Dcf899 vs dcf900 and why

Because i own the dcf899 right now. And it works fine.

@@hondaservicecenter hi, the dcf900 is an absolute beast, I thought the dcf899 was a beast, this dcf900 is even stronger, it’s awesome for heavy suspension work,

😂

I am team yellow for now. I have too many dewalt tools and batteries to jump ship right now

I tightened with the torque wrench, then loosened with the impact. I didn’t realize it would be so hard for people to understand that.

Until this one breaks, I ain’t replacing it.

Just because something newer comes out doesn't mean your old tools are weak and useless. 899 took it off without trying.

True, when I first got this truck out of rest after 15 years, this thing would not undo the lugs. I had to put all my weight on the stock lug tool to break them loose. This one will do 1200 reverse and 750 forward. But still, 1200 after 15 years of sitting was not enough.

Does a Herk-a-leez perform like this? I seriously doubt it.

​@Nza420 I'd say Hercules performs better that 899 is weak

I doubt it.

Yeah, just a mechanic..

@@Nza420 what u going to drive lag bolts with it when dcf 900 rpm will smoke it that's why I said if your a normal gas engine mechanic this is a great tool for that for it begin so old but also said craftsmen high torque is a cheaper better version of dcf 899 and cheaper and comes with 4ah battery and fast charger for 168 as low as 119 on sale and it's way better than dcf 899 and just couple hundred ft-pds from new beast dcf 900

Well, it's what I have. It works really well with the 6AH batteries I have for it and pretty much busts loose everything that I have thrown at it. I am gonna use it as long as it works. It was given to me by my brother, so I really can't complain.

@@Nza420 no doubt use it till it breaks wasn't talking bad about it was just opposite I was saying it's really all u need unless you work on tractor and trailers or old Hondas or tractors for farms it won't remove some them , but them old rusty bolts even new high torque fails at these challenges sometimes and yes with the duel row 21700 cells in 6ah DeWalt batteries r the best and power stack 5ah will get you a little more out of the dcf 899 but isn't enough to get it for that reason that 6ah to me is best all around battery

@@darrenhenderson7076 Cheers bud, have a good one!

That is the lug wrench for the truck. I was just showing that they actually were tight

My brother gave this to me, so…. i can’t complain

Probably so.

The torque wrench was set to tighten, thanks.

The cable is rusted. And it’s a foot brake on this truck

@@Nza420Got it. Should’ve known. 🍻

Actually, i forgot that i did replace them. I never put the parking brake on with an automatic, however, unless i am on a steep incline

@@Nza420Here in Europe we are taught to use the handbrake even if we are stopped at a red light.

Huh. That seems superfluous

Um, no, this has significantly more force than that.

Sorry it wasn't scientific enough.

Perhaps with a 1/2” air line and a 3/4” impact gun and a compressor that can keep up, but this beats any 1/2” air gun I have ever owned.

The 1896 Thor by Astro pneumatic is very nice. But can’t beat the portable of that one you showed in the video. Good stuff

I know, this is one of the best tools i have ever bought.

I did what I intended to do, thanks

How so?

My brother bought this for me, so I will not complain. It does pretty much everything I need it to do. And I don’t have to use my compressor any more.

Lol the 900 smokes Milwaukee there is no competition

I don’t know what your comment is meant to say. Are you disparaging me or the other people?

Your comment makes no sense. No jump cuts. 0/10. There ya go.

Pardon me?

It’s a type of fish

@@NerglissFarkowski oh, i see. Definitely pertinent

I assure you, all the lugs were torqued to 350. And yes, this impact will do over 750. So, you know nothing of what you are talking.

@@Nza420 you would be stupid to torque them to 350 factory spec is 135 also I said that it is not impressive for that size of impact there are 3/8drive ones that can do 350

@@brettknighten1171 I don't know why I torqued them that high, I must have read the wrong spec.

@@Nza420 nice try you just made a video for clicks. You knew what you were doing because you had to fake it

Aren’t all creators making videos for clicks? Thats the point.

Yes. Fully charged, the 6ah will rip harder.

Wait what

Explain how it is fake. I will wait.

It serves me well. I gave away my ingersoll rand air impact because it does the job so much better for me.

Dcf 899 is 1/2 inch buddy

@@alcerz984 I meant the half inch. Good job you figured it out.

It charges with solar though. It will last forever.

😂
