Dewalt already released another new 1/2in drive impact even more power than this 900. The dcf921 , I pick mine up Friday. The 900 is killer. I've beat it to death and it never missed a beat. Can't wait for the 961
The dcf921 is an Atomic version not a full size high torque. It is very powerful, especially for it's small size. I'm still using my 899 but the 921 is very close to it. The dcf961 is on another level for sure. It's definitely pushing the limits on a 1/2" drive anvil, and should be a 3/4 with that torque. It just beats the f'k out of a 1/2” sockets socket! Needs the extra material of a bigger anvil for sure. But I do love them all, DeWalt ftw!. DeWalt seems to be a lil slow but definitely makes up for it with their machines! Between @TorqueTestChannel & @deandohertygreaser (amazing repair tech in Ireland), & a few others videos\analysation, I'm happy I went with the yellow team years(decades) ago! Don't get me wrong, Milwaukee definitely has some nice tools, especially some of the more specialized tools they make. 🤔🤷🏻♂️🛠️🔧🔩👍🏻👌🏻🔌🔋⚡⚠️🦺🚧
@@jdogdiesel7242only problem with it is for the power anvil is to small it will eat the socket after a couple impacts on tough bolts you need crazy thick sockets I love my dcf 900 to getting the 5 power stack for it
@@AnontheGOAT well they were two years or so ago. But Bosch actually put out a high torque that beat Milwaukees a few years ago but you never hear about it. And so did Ridgid but it's the same company owner.
@@jordanalexander615 I’m talking about an entire lineup of these types of tools. All mechanics I know, both diesel and auto, all have been using Milwaukee for like the last 10 years because of their lineup.
That 1" Milwaukee has speed and torque settings adjustable in the OneKey app. The one inch Milwaukee we had at the last shop I worked in was de-rated enough that my little 1/2" duralast gun from AutoZone could outpace the Milwaukee.
I recently bought the dewalt mid tourqe that puts out some very good number but might buy this one soon for when I need extreme power. Might be a rare occurrence but I will be super happy I have it I'm sure.
Yes the 891 mid torq is super powerful for its size! Im looking to get that one soon to fill out my collection. This 900 works for everyday 1/2in impact jobs , doesint fit in everywhere as its pretty big. BUT It will eat up sockets and bolts without breaking a sweat. It beats the 3/4in dewalt and 3/4in Milwaukee by far! Its a wrist breakin bolt snappin animal. I cant say enough good things about it, even the bad things are still good lol
The question would be how much torque did the Milwaukee D handle put on the fastener versus what the DeWalt can take off. And what is the proper torque specs for a semi lug nut
This is not meant to be a how to or educational video on tightening lug nuts on a truck. Simply showing a common impact used for truck lug nuts the Milwaukee 1in extended anvil, compared to a much smaller impact the dewalt 1/2in drive dcf900 which is not really intended for this. The torque spec for these is 500ftlbs There is more videos to come with both of these impacts and more! Thank you for the comment and watch for round #2 coming up next week
I have no idea why I watch these videos. I have a 1/2” Ryobi which is more than what I’ll ever need working on my own rust and corrosion free vehicles that I’m religious about maintaining but holy shit I’d love to have one of these.
Don’t get me wrong Milwaukee’s 1 inch gun is a beast but you should be torquing them to specs after because you just don’t know. Where I work someone rolled a truck due to loose lugnuts which made the tire fly off. The mechanic was a seasoned vet and I know he wasn’t shy with the trigger. When your battery is half full you’re not getting the most out of your gun even on the highest setting. Take my advice or don’t but you’ll sleep a lot better knowing your names on something that was thoroughly checked!
Absolutely. While that dewalt was the highest rated 1/2 inch high torque ** TTC uploaded a video a couple weeks ago testing big reds new 1/2 inch high impact and putting it against the dewalt** the dewalt does not in any way compare to the “Gatling Gun” this video is very misleading.
@@williammcconville4967 we just use a torque wrench. Or have someone with a torque gun do it if we're out on the road. Had enough studs stretched for my liking.
That extension on it is there because it’s meant for big trucks like these, if you go to the rear wheels the lug nuts are much more recessed than say a normal car. But I believe Milwaukee does sell this tool that doesn’t have the extension.
Yeah , the dcf900 makes all of Milwaukee's 1/2in "high torq" and 3/4in impacts a joke too. Ill be happy to see a 1in drive dewalt. And id def have to get my hands on one as soon as they release here in the states.
@@jdogdiesel7242what stinks is Milwaukee 3/4 drive uses the same internals as the 1/2 inch. So basically just the same tool but isn't as hard on sockets.
makita's 3/4" is even more insane. it beats this and puts up similar numbers to 1 inch impact wrenches while being a fraction of the size and weight. both are amazing tools. i personally went with the dewalt because i don't need 1000ft-lb working torque, nor do i want to spend crack prices on 3/4" impact sockets
Can't believe this still has traction lol. I own the newer 961, and my little old 2864 is still my go to. I have the 2767 not the newest 2967 and it's great but in semis, why f- around, the 2864 is a end all be all and my 1" is air until I get the balls to invest in the IR platform . 900 was a good gun but more for normal car shops in my opinion AND personal xperience , same with the 906. Loud , violent, QUESTIONABLE reactions to whether it's going to function or just knock your wrist around. .no thanks- I brought all my yellow stuff home for toys. (Except the 961) I just got that sucker Wednesday. Gotta atvleast get it dirty lol
Torque test channel can give you all the info you need on what all the name brands can do and can’t do is suggest watching them because even the battery you are using causes a huge difference
Those Milwaukee 1” guns apply torque weird though. Try a 1” air gun with good air supply and then try it. Or maybe actually put the steer tire on the ground and then torque to spec 450-500ft lbs (we’ll just say 475 and split the difference).
Me and my coworker both bought a DCF900 at the same time. Mine started cutting off while using often. So i warrantied it. A week before I got mine back. My coworkers started doing the same thing. I’ve never had an issue with a milwaukee
@@dalebassett6119 the 20v lithium packs are the same as the 18v lithium packs outside the us. And the 60v packs or flex volt are the same as the 54v packs outside the us. Now , the old male connector style 18v packs inside the us do not interchange onto the newer 20v/18v lithium tools.
Most all Mac brand 20v batteries are just like this. But dewalt has them as well. They are the grease/oil resistant packs. I believe you just add a - "G" at the end of the battery model number for dewalt
This 5 ah battery is model number - DCB205G Also they are available on amazon and other retailers online After running these on my 20v stuff and getting the 3ah and 5ah versions for my 12v stuff as well , I'll never go back to the regular packs. These are super rugged and are sealed up really well. Perfect for mechanic work or outside work
Just showing the new dewalt 1/2in is no slouch . Anything ive put on with the Milwaukee 1in gun this dewalt will remove with no issues. I have more videos with both of these impacts on my channel . Thanks for the comment
I have a few videos of this impact vs: truck lug nuts. Some were very rusty and had been sitting for years. All 33mm semi lugs. 1 video of the white freightliner fld steer , the last lug was damaged bad and threads were ate up. It still pulled them off.
The video above is of the freightliner steer lugs. This video that ive copied into this reply down below is one of the most viewed i have , and the 1/2in dewalt goes behind the Milwaukee 1in on some painted rusty lugs , the Milwaukee was on tighten and i made sure to hammer on em more than previously. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p77g7tJ2gOc.html
"rating" numbers are trash. that 2868 1" wrench only puts out 1200 foot pounds forward, 1400 reverse. the dewalt's actual numbers are 800/1000. makita's 3/4" gwt01 does 1000 in both directions, it's 3 times smaller and lighter than the milwaukee. unless you're working on railroads or something, the milwaukee seems pointless these days. if for some unlikely reason you do need insane power, there is a 1" ingersoll-rand at about the same at the milwaukee that completely shits on it. the ingersoll is "rated" for 3000 foot pounds, which is obviously nonsense. but it can actually do 1800.
So this is clearly a shit test. With very few stable variables. And that cordless wheel gun will trash that 900. But the 961 is on par with it for 25% the cost and 1/2 the size.
Just showing a common truck wheel lug impact - the Milwaukee 1in extended anvil , and showing a much smaller impact the new 1/2in dewalt high torque thats not really meant for truck wheel lugs , remove them with no issues. I have an even better video on an old abandoned truck with rusty lugs its now up on my channel. Thanks for commenting and there will be much more content coming up
Im guessing the implication is the video is trash by the emoji posted but fuck it, if you enjoyed making it and it's not click bait then keep em coming. By far not the worst video I've seen, has substance to it at least. No one is ever happy on the Internet.
