Anyone looking to get that impact all I can say is get it. With the 5ah power stack it's got 2000lbs brake away. I use mine with my 12ah flex volt battery and I swear it's all of that. Easily the strongest impact in the heavy duty shop I work in. It scares everyone when it hit VTEC mode which is after like 4 seconds of it hasn't broken the bolt free it turns up the power in a very noticable way.
Impacts are usually Cromoly. I can see that impact you have says chrome vanadium. chromoly impacts are meant to flex more and are used by Snap-on , Wright, Koken, Proto and Cornwell among others. Usually chrome vanadium does not hold up to impacts very well. There are some much more expensive alloys that bigger companies will use to produce chrome vanadium impacts. Hazet and Gedore have special alloy chrome vanadium. Usually if youre buying very cheap impacts from China its best to go with Chromoly as they probably arent using a more expensive chrome vanadium alloy.
Glad to see one on the channel, wish this channel got the attention it deserves, I get it you don’t play the game, but as much as I love ttc, nothing beats real world tests, seeing the puff of rust colored mist tells me that it is similar to something I’d see in Indiana. Your channel really does bring a ton of value regarding impact wrenches and their performance, and it’s not going completely unnoticed. Would anyone disagree that there realistically arent any fasteners on a standard passenger vehicle this thing shouldn’t be able to rip off? even with a swivel or extension on it?
All most got the DCF961 back in OCTOBER but ACME was taking too long had it on ORDER for 4 plus weeks now will get it when it Becomes the 964 3/4 Drive
FROM ALL THE IMPACT WRENCH VIDEOS I HAVE SEEN ,,,,,,,,,,,,, THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER SEEN AN IMPACT SOCKET SPLIT . THESE NEW IMPACT WRENCHES HAVE MORE POWER THAN ANYONE COULD HAVE EVER EXPECTED . GREAT JOB TO YOUR CHANNEL FOR BRINGING IT TO THE MASSES THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORT .
That socket was meant for lug nuts,and probably chinese,big mistake.Notice the thin wall?And the threads are inside not the head of the bolt.Talk about amateur hour lol.
So there are two main reasons why you shouldn’t use chrome sockets with an impact. 1. Chrome sockets aren’t meant to take blows from an impact like the softer metal of an impact socket. As such, they are likely to crack or even shatter under a strong enough impact. 2. Since the metal on the chrome sockets is pretty hard, it will also damage the anvil.
I destroyed my chrome sockets thinking with an extension it would limit the torque enough......i was wrong. Now my extension has a twist in it and the socket is over there, over there, up here and under there.......my bad
My comment on the previous video serves me right lmao I have a dfc961b and they can easily break sockets aswell as bolts that are grade 8, m20 in size. Just a tip it will get more power and runtime with a 9 ah flex volt battery and remember to always use two hands this shit will break ur wrist if held with one hand hope u have a great rest of your day 🤣🤣🤘
I would suggest not to tighten it with an impact, It happened to me that I had to rent a stronger/bigger impact wrench than what I normally use after I used it to tighten a crank bolt in a Toyota (even after I made sure just to put very few seconds of impacting); I learned this happens a lot in fine thread bolts, where the torque climbs rapidly when impacted; this can even damage the crank threads.
Good showing of the impact, but try and condence your videos. No need for 7:55 to slacken a bolt with an impact wrench. It's not like a full review. Could have been done in a shorts. Just saying, no offense.
Suggestions to you, singlecams: Replace the Crankshaft Bolt. Replace that motor mount (3:00) & other too if defective. Replace all belts Well done. Shown what the real world by doing it when you don't have all the correct tools & without editing. Gotta love people complained for being so long. Try do it yourself if you didn't see any video
I’m working on changing the water pump and timing on my son 2005 civic right now but with the electric impact wrench that I got it just not enough torque so I definitely need a new one oh by the way I also using the special crank socket just to hold it still
Couldn't get the bolt off of my j30A1 today, used a mid-torque and a friend's 3/4, however I don't think any of those tools compared to the might of the DCF961B.. going to order one this week and see if I can get the bolt off.
To me my experience and comentari is Why is not 3/4 impact wrench, is why I jus bought the Hercules 3/4 more torque and more safe tool because when you use 3/4 socket never have broken any 😢, good power but not for a 1/2 sae sockets, nice video ❤
They actually make a specialised weight socket specially for that bolt, for that exact problem, the wall is 4 times thicker than a standard impact socket cuz it's weighted it transfer the energy from the impact better, do a search for Honda crank bolt socket😊
