---------------------------------------------------------------
DEWALT came out swinging with the new hard-hitting DCF900 20V XR 1/2" High Torque Impact Wrench! This impact wrench has topped the charts on the @TorqueTestChannel and in the real world, its hard-hitting manners have destroyed more than a few impact-rated sockets by making the drive end very sloppy!
The DEWALT DCF900 is perfect for working on vehicles in the rust belt ad the hard-hitting nature works just about any rusted fastener loose. With 1,400 ft-lbs of nut-busting power, this impact wrench could remove Semi Truck lugs without issue.
If you are the person who needs to have the best and baddest tool on the market, this new DEWALT Impact Wrench is a must-have!
This new impact wrench is 6.4 pounds without a battery, so it is a bit heavy for routine daily tasks. Rotating tires on a small passenger car can be done with the three modes, but there are smaller and lighter tools that will do that job just as well.
There is also a precision fastener mode for construction-related tasks. That mode will ramp up and ramp down the RPM and the IPM to aid in fastening and removing just about any style of fastener.
We purchased the DCF900GP2 kit that includes the oil-resistant batteries as we always seem to use these large impact wrenches with some sort of penetrating lubricant. This helps the batteries to remain intact much longer as the penetrating lubricant will do nasty stuff to rubber over mold over time.
We like what DEWALT did with the mode selector and the lighting, but we do miss our old slider switch as it was not deteriorated by liquid wrench. Our mode selector button is already pealing slightly from use with penetrating lube on our hands.
Either way, we are thrilled that DEWALT has stepped up its game and brought out this beast of an impact wrench!
On Torque Test Channel, that baby was hitting well over 900lbs with the 6ah battery, it's a beast
Just ordered mine off Amazon can’t wait for it to come in tomorrow!
Drill- Packedge in typical box, came with a tool bag (added bonus), two batteries, one charger, drill, and driver. Two words "plenty of Torque" czcams.com/users/postUgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv well I guess that's three. Nice upgrade from current setup. Has belt clips, I don't think I will be using those. Driver and drill were bigger than what I expected but it is an upgrade from the current setup. For the money I would say that this is a great setup for Professionals and DIY/Weekend warriors.
Convinced! Going to Lowes to buy this now. Thanks
Glad you made this because this was one of the impact wrenches I have been considering and after hearing what you said it does to the sockets I believe it is more than what I need
Love all the new DeWALT impact wrenches, I literally have all of them in 12 and 20 volt except this one, i haven't needed anything stronger than my new mid torque, great video 👍
Hi Bro please send me the one you don't use to Orlando. 🙏🏼🤗
@@alfredorubio1994 ya I've already shipped them to you, you should hold your breath while you wait, it'll be fast I promise, I paid extra for overnight delivery
@@Lee-lb9qh hahahaha
It’s awesome for those who work on cars regularly
Well so far everything I have seen out there on the web, the buck stops here, even including the Milwaukee doesn't come close to this particular DeWalt tool. She's a beauty and a keeper for decades to come.👍🏻
At 900ft/lbs the DCF900 is approaching the limit of a 1/2 anvil and exceeded many of the fasteners that fit 1/2 sockets. Dewalt should have put a 3/4 anvil on this.
I loved the simplicity of the old switch. Yeah the new buttons look nice but simple works. For most the new DeWalt mid torque is plenty.
Right on
@@WorkshopAddict do you have discord link
That's my exact thought the buttons look nice but they won't hold up like the switches and the new mid torque is probably all you'll ever need, heard they're coming out with a 1inch model like the Ingersoll and Milwaukee
I have to disagree. I had the Mac midtorque (MCF894) which had the old switch. The switch kept getting misaligned and would bump over and change modes on it's own. Sometimes while I was removing something tight, which was pretty annoying. Mac replaced the switch on warranty once. After it did it again, I traded it for the new Dewalt midtorque with this new switch. No problems since. Maybe I just had bad luck with that gun. But I'm glad they redesigned it.
DeWalt has come out with some Awesome New Impact Wrench's , their Mid-Torque is really Powerful and Acually Replaces my old DeWalt High-Torque , it does everything I need it to do , No Problem, and it saved me some money by NOT Having to buy a New High- Torque ...Great Review.... 👍🖖
Are you still happy with the DCF 891 or do you wish that you had got the DCF 900?
@@steveb611 The DCF891 is a Beast , I love it ... But the New High Torque is Bad Ass. , I really don't need it but I'm still going to buy it soon just because I'm a Tool Head ...👍🖖
I never own a power tool like that . But I like to have one .
I’m shopping around.
I think it’s my best choice:
Dewalt XR20 279 buck included
Bag
Battery
Charger
Tool .
Hi Brian, my dcf900 is an absolute beast as you said, it’s excellent for heavy suspension work and brake work, removes and installs on car bearing very well, lugs are a joke for this tool, very hard hitting,
Glad you like it!
More FINE BUSINESS!!!I recently purchased a rough milled 2x12x16ft plank from the mill and the worker cut it with his DeWalt 41/2 in. circular saw.Had to do 2 passes to cut 2in deep. That motivated me to get one for ripping plywood. Pretty Slick tool.I will check to see if you have done a review on it yet.Enjoying this vid. in Westcoast Canada!CHEERS
I watched this and just went to lowes and picked one up too
Thank you for the honesty that was GREAT!!
Thank you
@@WorkshopAddict Would you ever test or comment on the 3/4 or 1/2 impact wrench version of the makita 40v? Not many reviews out there for it
We need more info for 3/4 and 1 inch. I still have gen 1 1/2 for 8 years strong now. My Milwaukee 3/4 has developed a windings issue after 3 years
Great channel, solid review
Put on a 9ah flexvolt battery and see what else it can do.
I also like the slide switch better than buttons as you can select speeds without looking when wearing gloves.
@torquetestchannel has the testing with larger batteries. IMHO, a 1-5/16 lug that is old and imstalled with the idea that tight is tight with a 1" pnuematic impact is a very good test for this. There is not much around that needs 1400 ft lbs of force. Anything rusted that I attach this too would be a mystery as to the force needed to remove it. Hard to be real word and scientific.
Nice Review!
I skipped the mid torque and went straight for this animal. My Tacoma is rusty and needs the whole front end redone so I figured I would need the extra grunt for all the 20 year old suspension bolts
Was it worth it?
@@DevonBbrown absolutely. Even smaller seized rusty bolts like 14mm that I would usually snap by over torquing with hand tools and extensions just gently zip right off with the auto mode. Only wish i had a mean stubby for where this monster doesn't fit. Otherwise favorite tool I've bought.
My DCF891 has completely replaced my DCF899. Can't imagine needing the 900. If it comes to that, I might wait until DeWalt offers a 3/4 inch model
I started out with the 20V 3/8, great impact and plenty for the 3/8 sized sockets, then i have the ol 899 or the old 1/2" impact of which this replaces. I recently ish got the ATOMIC 3/8 DCF921B which replaces the older 3/8, it has more torque than the dcf 891 and its even smaller, Its INSANE! I usually us chromies but it was snapping every one. and now I have on order the new dcf900... see how it goes lol will retire my 899 to home after 3 years in a shop.
They have a 3/4 impact, rated at the same torque specs
@@carmemories4202 Model number?
@@joshuaking34 DCF897B
@@carmemories4202 That one is based on the previous generation DCF899.
I think Dewalts new button interface is the best in the industry.
Literally just bought the kit ,for 306 at home Depot ,40 mins ago ,I swear
Hello again WorkshopAddict
Thank you again for another great video 👍 At video time 050. That impact battery look like it was about to take flight. Does that amount shaking effect the impact? Again thank you 😊
They should’ve called or DCF 666 because it’s the beast.
Thanks Bryan
I had the DCF 921 which I absolutely love. The little stubby works great for taking lug nuts off of cars, but I always wanted to get a bigger one for like you said to help me work on vehicles for those stubborn bolts. What do you suggest this one or the DCF891?
Dewalt also just released oil resistant covers for their impact wrench line up. I'm thinking of snagging one up for my dcf922..... the baby version of the beastly dcf900 😐
I am unsure they can do much to cover the mode switch and that is what concerns me the most.
@@WorkshopAddict never say never, I just hope those buttons are sealed properly.
Have you thought about trying out the new Hercules high torque impact
Im looking for something for general purpose auto work. I live in a snowy climate so whenever im working on cars i have stubborn rusty blots. I was just replacing rotors and breaks and the calipers were a nightmare to get off with a breaker bar. Would something like this do me good? Are these stronger than air models?
Using this on suspension work lift kits the problem be it’s not gonna fit in a lot of the tight quarters
Anyone have a fix for the mentioned lubricant deterioration of the mode switches?
Which Dewalt (impact wrench AND size battery) would YOU rely on to get lugnuts off in the middle of nowhere? aka FLAT TIRE. Tires since rotated by local mechanic/all new lugnuts put on late fall 2022. (2 were ruined on that misadventure. We found the hole and patched it with super glue & sand to get us back to a traveled section of dirt road. Ryobi inflator with us but not the right tools or patches. Lesson learned BUT would like to head down a dirt road without being terrified of a repeat of that nightmare episode. Thankful for angel fuel tank driver who also drove out into the middle of nowhere that day!) Our mechanic seems to put the lugnuts on beyond tight! Manual ratchet wouldn't touch them. He used a Milwaukee after he couldn't even get them off "old school". Is there a term for loosening lugnuts and retightening for human strength?!
The dcf900 will never let you down.
With a 6Ah battery.
What, in your opinion, are the better impact sockets to use with this. I was thinking about snagging one of these. I am a little weary tho at what point do the people that accept returns on the sockets quit taking them back.
My Very expensive Snap-Ons do not like this impact, but my Sunex seem to take it well.
so #1 will be safe if nissan says 80pound tourq on the old nissan ultima lugnuts??? and what number for my silvervardo 2010?
I love mine
still no zerk fitting on the snout to grease the nose
This thing is definitely powerful enough to eat up sockets so use impact rated sockets from a solid company or you're asking for it
Ironically I find my premium impact sockets(Cr-mo) show much more wear than cheaper cr-va impact sockets. The cr-v is a much harder metal. Never broke an impact socket but my 3/4 ones get pretty beat up.
@@jameshill4900 I haven't even upgraded to the 900 yet I still have my 899 and every time I use a chrome vanadium socket I see shiny bits of metal flying everywhere and even after one use the socket becomes loose and sometimes cracks. At the very least it's ruining the sockets but at worse they could actually explode
I got rid of my high torque Milwaukee because it vibrated too much. Is this one the same ?
I have a video comparing them. The Milwaukee is butter smooth compared to the dewalt.
What kind of impact sockets do you use? Link??
I have Sonic, Sunex and Milwaukee. The least expensive and best ones are Sunex. Link to a kit?
@@WorkshopAddictyes. Do you have an amazon link?
Isn't it it 1800 breakaway?
What is different DCF 900 P1 and DCF 900 P2 and DCF 900 B?
900 B is just the bare tool (i.e. no battery or charger or bag); The other one is a kit. Same tool though.
450-500 ft lbs is the rating for trucks and trailers
Going with Milwaukee next time dewalt is a joke I use my impact gun for personal mechanic work out of nowhere it lost Torque and dewalt wants me to pay for it... I literally used it 7 times in a year since I bought it. Pissed off cause I paid 400 for the damn thing for it to just take a shit randomly.
Probably a stupid quesiton but why do americans keep referring to the drive size of impacts instead of any classification like 'mid-torque' when almost every model comes in 2-3 different drive sizes? I get that the numbers keep changing and all that but what do you mean by "1 inch impact"? I assume from context that means any of the 2handed kinds? But then theres 2 different 'classes' of impacts that come in both 1 and 3/4...
Not trying to diss, just genuinly confused sometimes
The bigger the impact the more torque it can obviously handle.
It helps simplify and also hide true torque specs if u think about it daddy
@@antoniononame3037 What do you mean by "handle" though? A 1/2" anvil wouldnt break from the dynamic output of any 3/4 or 1" ive ever seen. I mean, well made tool steel is pretty durable. Also, as have been documented lately, som 3/8 outputs more torque than 1/2 on the exact same model
My point was about semantics though. Why refer to 3/8 or 1/2 drive sizes as if they are a more powerful tool when its the exact same model? We dont do that here, we refer to either a 'class', a torque rating, wattage or any other descriptor that actually says something about the power output. And I really wanna know why its like that in the states :)
@@kvernesdotten it’s just for simplicity is all I’m getting too…
And when I say handle I mean the workload generally speaking in America a 3/8 impact wrench would have less torque output then a 3/4 model not referring to how much power the unit can handle but how much but busting torque it yield’s daddy.
@@antoniononame3037 Okay so just a habit then?
And im not your daddy, buddy!⟨™⟩
@@kvernesdotten to answer your first question, for me, this is habit to label the drive size and the impact size. The video title does list this as high torque. When I was a kid, we would day grab the 1/2" impact. I guess that is showing my age.
Run that on a 9ah bat an u will see performance
Ridgid 1/2 impact joined the chat
This eats that Ridgid for breakfast. Even beats out the snap on 9080 and new Matco.
@@juanc5149 ridgid makes 1,500 ftlbs 🤔
@@nitrous07me
Ridgid severely exaggerated their claims. Look at torque test channels dyno runs of this impact vs Ridgid. DeWalt stomps.
@@nitrous07me I would like to see that video proof
@@nitrous07me this is laughable. TTC proved otherwise.
I just bought the dcf900p1 way better n way more powerful tthen any milwaukee brand impact wrench gun 🤣🤣🤣🤣
So it would be grate if you get a flat one day and bust that monster out
I have the model previous to this with physical switch, I’m wondering is their a difference in breaking torque between the two?
Yes there’s a massive difference between the two.
The NEW mid torque has almost identical nut busting power to the old high torque that you have. There’s almost 300 ft lbs of difference between the two models in independent testing.
@@juanc5149 I appreciate that! I might have to update that’s a jump
0:10, shows the gun struggling so much after calling it a torque monster 😂
If you attach a dildo to it, it becomes a monster lol
I broke the 1/2 in deWalt 1 gen before yours in one day doing brakes on my semi dry van not impressed went and got a 1” Milwaukee impact THAT is a beast not yer pussss dewalt
Yeah, 1/2" drive is REALLY pushing it for heavy trucks and machinery....you really do need 3/4" or 1".....
The thing is that you need to match the power to size ratio. It may hit harder than the milwaukee but then it transfers to your hand and arm. Using it all day will cause you discomfort. At that point it's time to move up to a 3/4 drive impact so you can control it better and not have the gun jump all over the place like in your video. I think that's where milwaukee has it right by maximizing the power to size ratio. In the end is all about using it all day and not get beat up by it.
