TORQUE MONSTER - NEW 20V XR DeWalt Mid Torque Impact Wrench Review [DCF891]
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 09. 2024
- This new @dewalttv DCF891 Mid-Torque Impact Wrench looks just like the older DCF894. However, once you pull the trigger, you realized it's been souped up substantially. This is an XR 20V Max tool, so you get the brushless motor driven by the 20-volt MAX batteries. There are 3 different power modes that deliver up to 2,000 RPM and 3,000 IPM (Impacts Per Minute) through the variable speed trigger. A 4th mode is called Precision Wrench mode which stops the tool for a brief second once the fastener is snug, and it slows the DCF891 once it senses the fastener is loose. DeWalt includes a 3-year warranty with this new Mid-Range impact wrench and the bare tool will cost about $250.

Really impressed with this monster, it's good seeing its what-the-heck level of beans being represented here as well with your great testing. Great stuff as usual Tim!
Yo what up ttc! Hope your doing well
If a 4-21700 can do that.. What about a 9 or 12-21700 flexy?
Hello!
I think it would have busted the 1000 ft lb a little quicker with the 6ah!
I can’t wait until you show us it on the Dino
That made in USA label means alot to me. I buy hand tools that are made in the USA but haven't had much options for a battery powered tool.
It might be time to change colors.
Way to go Dewalt, I'm proud of you.
Stay strong brothers.
That really means nothing when all the components are still coming from china when its completely made in the USA I'll be impressed
Nice to know the company is owned and founded within America, more of my dollars staying in the country.
Hate knowing a larger portion of every dollar spent on Milwaukee tools goes back to China, since that's who owns them.
Parts maybe made in USA but gaurantee it's actually made overseas 100% much like Honda for example or vice versa.
It's a Chinese tool, boxed on an assembly line in the United States. They do the bare minimum to legally apply that sticker. Don't be fooled by the false advertising.
That's not accurate at all it's last substantial transformation must occur in the us
Not sure if anyone brought this up, but with the benefit of having a 3rd party, stable perspective that we do, the socket was 100% moving @14:50 with the power stack.
I just watched this video and said the same thing and was looking to see if anyone else noticed that
Same thing. Blue line at the top was definitely moving. I want to see the power stack battery at 1000 foot pounds.
That impact wrench is a beast! Very impressive addition to the DeWALT lineup!
Upgraded from an older 18v kit. czcams.com/users/postUgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv I independently chose the drill and impact tool, before I came across the kit.I like the 3 speed impact gun. It seems more powerful than my older one, and it can be set to be really gentle. The drill is more appropriately sized for my use. I used to have a hammer drill, but I did not like that it was so big and it was not a great hammer drill. I rather have a smaller drill like this, and then get a corded hammer drill for the odd case I need that.
I’ve had red tools for years. After watching torque test and this, looks like I’ll be buying yellow now. Especially since it’s made in the USA! Thank you, deWalt. Please continue this trend. I’ve been slowly getting all made in the USA tools. They really are better!
Made in USA? HAHAHAHAHAHAHha
@@MD-gk4uhdon't cry milwake fanboy
@@franklinwalker9606 Don’t have one single Milwaukee or any other American power tool you fool 😂
Will be adding this beast to the tool cage. Well done, DeWalt!
It also takes full advantage of the batteries, it has more pins for connections. Like the power detects.
Hmmm I was wondering why it had more pins. I don't have any Power Detect tools so I didn't make that connection.. Thanks.
I picked mine up from Acme tools and it came with a free 4ah compact battery as tested. It's a beast. I have the 923, 891, and am waiting for the dcf900
Lol I got the same exact deal from Acme
Bought my 891 first after buying an 887 a few months ago. After using the 891 (local farm store) I had to get more. So I bought the 923 yesterday and that thing is a beast too. I'll use it more than the 891 but the 891 is just flat out ridiculous for the size and weight. Also have a circular saw and the 20v ratchet now as well. Bad habit.
Did they advertise it with the free battery or was it a surprise?
@@michaelvoorhees5978 it was advertised with one. They run promos like that from time to time
I bought this dcf891 mid range i tell you this is a beast ! I work on cars everyday and this has no problem removing any bolts and nuts in a car, suv or trucks … im impressed dewalt finally made a Milwaukee mid range killer dont get me wrong i do love all my Milwaukee impact wrenches and ratchets … but dewalt really did great job with this mid range with ridiculous torque
Hi, are you still using this drill? Do you recommend this size over the DCF 900
No i do not recommend it ! Get the new mid torque 891
@@HeadsUP253 Thank you. I appreciate your feedback. I think the 891 is suited for me. I hear the DCF 900 is mostly for the real heavy duty industrial. I'm just a Diy guy that works on cars on the side
@@steveb611did you get one?
Great video, good to see incrementally increasing battery sizes. That 3000 ft lb Hytorc Series II is impressive too!
I got my hands on one of these a week or so ago and yeah, its the real deal.
The 6ah with 21700 cells is the sweet spot for this tool. I’ve had mine for about two weeks now and it yanks bolts out with no issue on industrial equipment. Still have my trusty dcf894 on the side though.
What model are those?
ECF 891 do everything that you wanted to do or do you wish you had the DCF 900 as a backup?
@@steveb611 I have the DCF900 as backup, but it really only comes out maybe 2-3 times a month, mostly for impeller bolts on big pumps and flanges that have been together for years. Other than that it just sits. I mainly use the DCF903 for engine stuff, the DCF921 for pump ends and the DCF891 for the odd jobs that need more torque.
@@christopherbrown6493 I only worked around cars and around the house. I don't do anything big industrial wise so mostly suspension worked in the frame. So I was wondering if the DCF 891 would just be plenty for me all. I do have the DCF 9210 so the 900 might be a little too much for myself that I need
That torque gun is a new tool I’ve never seen before. That is a pretty cool tool. Love the performance of this new dewalt tool as well. Starting to make me want to take the big plunge. Seems like a good all purpose tool. My father in law as the Milwaukee 2767 high torque and it’s great but he has broken a few things with it because of the power. This seems like it can do everything I need without tearing stuff up while being lighter and smaller
Yes, this is a great all-around Impact Wrench. Thanks for watching.
“Obviously, we must have 3 power settings, NO! We have 4 power settings.” 🤣🤣
Tim, you never disappoint my friend. Always a pleasure watching you test the hell out of these tools. I spend my Saturday mornings before my son wakes up binge watching @SHOP TOOL REVIEWS. Thank you for your major contribution to the tool community for creating this amazing content. You take my friend 👊
Things a beast. I have the mid torque and 18v/12v stubby Milwaukee but I always find myself reaching for the 12v and 20v dewalts. They just feel better in the hand
No way
Exactly
Dewalt is above par and no tool company comes close
@@dieseldabz7104 buy some dewalt stuff to find out for yourself, milwaukee has no comfort in sense at all for the users hand. That's why Dewalt is the bluecollar man's choice whom actually works hard for their dollars everyday. Not a yuppie who just buys the highest priced tool based on dollar signs alone gtfoh dude and use your milwaukee tools for your 10billion dollars house only use like a yuppie
@@jorrdanlease3106 damn right. As a builder no other company is close to Flexvolt tools also
Just picked one up at lowes. $229 plus I used a 20% off coupon with my lowes card. So came out to about $185. Going to fire it up and use it today. Perfect timing for my rear suspension I am doing now.
An absolute beast of an impact! Got mine at Lowes for $229 with their card and got 5% off. And I love looking at the bottom of it and seeing " Made in the USA" on it. Can you test it with the 6 and 8 Ah batteries? I think it would have broke that 1000lbs nut quicker with an 8Ah. Even the Flex Volts should give it more beans, do you think? Great work and cool video. Dewalt Nation !!
Imagine the 5ah power Stacks
I tried it with my 10ah. it would break 1000 I bet
I came here to the comments to also say this tool deserves a part two with the 6ah Flexvolt and 8ah XR batteries. Even the 12ah would be nice to see however Dewalt doesn't really push that battery size like Milwaukee does
Totally agree! Just received mine a few days ago and it's amazing! Definitely would have broken that 1000ft lb quicker with one of those.
BULLSHIT it's not made in USA wake TF up folks
Wow! That’s amazing compared to the previous model! Absolutely bonkers!!
It's amazing on its own, not just compared to the older one
Just picked up one of these at Runnings. It’s on sale for $199. I hemmed and hawed before bringing it to the checkout counter. Then it rang up at $135. What a deal!
Great videos tim, always happy to see extra suggestions on youtubers like you before buying something. I would really like to see the dcf monster trying out semitruck lugnuts or other tough tasks were this tool would really shine. Keep up the good work and always great vids.
Hi Tim, this 891 is very impressive I’m waiting for the 900 it’s supposed to be stronger than the 899, Dewalt’s keeping their product strong,
The 891 is ment to be the same as 899 so 900 will be monster. Hopefully its lighter than the 899
@@eoghanhennessy443 so the 891 is the high tuque just smaller, and the 900 is the beast lol, ty
Im excited to see the 900
I can't tell these DeWalt units apart by looking at them. That said 800 ft lbs is ridiculous. lol Cheers!
inaccurate weight. bugs add 2oz. lol. great video as usual, Tim. loving my 891 so far!
Anyone else notice the bugs crawling on his impact wrench before he weighs it lmao
thought i was trippin lol
I just wanted to share something I recently saw.
I know some people prefer a detent pin style over the friction ring style, but I saw a video of a Dewalt Dcf899 where the anvil broke right at the detent.
Got mine from the back of home Depot. Love this tool!
Can you find anymore out back there? Asking for a friend
Got it today bought a new Dcf 887 3 weeks ago for some Projects to Around the house was trying to be take off my Lugs 2012 Town and county NOPE So picked up to he 891 today Slapped a POWER STACK on OFF on #1 this TOOL is like GODZILLA
it was moving that 900lb nut before you stopped it.
It absolutely moved on 900 ftlbs with the powerstack
Yeah, I watched it again, and it did start to move just before he stopped. Didn't retorque it for the 4Ah, so it took it off right away and got the glory.
Same price right now for either 2 1.7Ah powerstacks (I already have a charger), or 1 4Ah. Was kinda pulling for a the powerstacks because I like the smaller size and weight.
I recently saw a documentary in the history Channel and they future dewalt and they walked thru the factory and they actually make the motors and electronics controllers here in the USA maybe still few of the plastic and few other components are global made
Thanks for the review. Going to buy me one for car work. Almost broke a finger when using a flex handle bar when changing a caliper. For car work, I believe the 5 Amp/Hour will be good enough.
Love all of your videos, but would be awesome if you could implement a timer clock on screen as soon as you pull the trigger. I used a timer, and a few times it seemed like you didn't let it hit the 10 seconds mark. Thanks for the channel 🙂
Excellent work as always tim!
Now… for the dcf900? The rumored 899 replacement isn’t far off by my imagination
Another great video. This fool would be perfect for my DIY brake jobs at home
Just picked this guys up. Very excited. Sweet tool!
I have the 896 and it’s a hoss!! Great impacts. Haven’t touched my snapon 9080 since I got it.
Another great video from Tim. Looks like Dewalt wasn't sleeping but was secretly developing this monster. Wanna see what the Torque Test Channel will do with this one. Ohhh BTW what kind of impact wrench were you using to torque those bolts
Excellent review! I was on the fence about this one... no more. Sold!
Great impact, a beast.
Only thing I'm annoyed by is when I grip the handle to use it , my hand catches the forward switch and kicks it out or into reverse.
Something I'll get used to , but just a little bit in the way of my grip.
Otherwise I'm very happy with it.
I’m very impressed with this new tool I’ve actually purchased it myself The only bad thing is it broke within the first week of using it at work I work at a tire shop I brought it to the store and exchange it for a new one and it took a couple months but it broke also I’m not sure but is it self-destructing itself because it’s so much more powerful ??????????
Interesting. I wanna buy one but that conserns me.
I keep hearing this. I've got one that broke too after just one month... I mean, it still works and performs just as good, it's just making a terrible grinding clicking noise...
Just picked up one of these at the local Lowes. Looking forward to rotating some tires this week!
damn good tool right there
Just got mine and I am impressed with it light is really bright.
Very important thing I like dewalt is that
One charger for all batteries. And it is decent tools and quality
There is a combo set that includes the DCF891, together with a 5AH battery, charger, and bag that just showed up at Grainger as well as at Zoro, for $249. Not sure if/when anywhere else will get this kit (part # DCF891B/DCB205CK). Lowest price for bare tool I have seen is currently around $205, so for ~ $45 more to get the battery, charger and bag seems like a decent starter set deal.
I have one and it lives up to the hype. My only regret was getting the hognose ring version. It is extremely hard to get sockets off until it's broken in some. But it was cheaper than the detent model by $30. Worth the tradeoff.
As for power, it pulled a lag bolt out of a shipping container. It even broke the spot welds off the bolthead when using a 6Ah battery. Great product if you don't need the full 1400lbft of the DCF900 but want the best DeWalt for most jobs.
Would you say it’s good for doing automotive work? would it break an axle nut on a car? I don’t think I need the 900b because that seems overkill.
@@TakeThis_L definitely. I used it to swap my wheels and tires the other day and it made short work of the lugs.
@@americansmark thanks man
Awesome test, but I have to correct you about something, the power of 4ah packs. 21700 cells are of course stronger, but not by double. So a single row of 4ah 21700 is weaker (35A cont) than 2x2ah 18650 (2x23A cont or 46a in total). 3Ah 21700's are a different story, they are in 40-50A range. Also 5ah pack is slightly weaker than 4ah (40A vs 46A). There are even stronger 2ah 18650 cells, which are in 6ah flexvolt
Dude I gotta say when you run one of those New Power Stack battery's hard and you expect to lose a bar that thing is always toped off it seems like It would be cool if you added a shorts video of the 5 AMP Flat Stack going against this again and running it as long as it takes on the 1000 foot pounds
I've been waiting on a review from this guy!
Believe it or not the DCF891 draws more current than the DCF899. Testing it with the 5ah XR battery and lower most certainly left some performance on the table.
You should have tried a 9 or 12 battery, I’ve seen a lot of tire shops use the 9 amp so they don’t worry about run time especially with big rigs.
This is the exact type of review I was looking for thank you!
Excellent video. Just bought from my local HD, tool only it was $249. Only will use for ATV lug nuts.
Great videos as usual!.. what the best 1/2. Master socket set should I get that pretty much have everything cheapest to expensive. I was just thinking if I bought the gear wrench bolt biter sets and use them as a regular socket set. What you think?..one love everyone
Tempted too get one.. it does save all the phaffing about with the airlines in the workshop.. 😊.. we have the one Inch drive air gun just in case...
14:43 is the best part of the video
Very impressed!!!!im sold…my wife’s going to kill me but I’m sold 🙏🏼😁
Thanks for the video Tim. Its very impressive. I would like a match with the makita mid torque its said can do 700lbs
that Makita is nice but is $100 more or so
@@rcud1 mmhhh not sure. Haven't check it lately. I got mine 149 plus a free 5.0 battery.
How much is the dewalt?
Estou em dúvida entre a DEWALT DCF899 e DEWALT DCF892? Qual a principal diferença de torque entre elas?
Would it be possible to test out the Non-XTR Kobalt 1/2" impact? I see a lot of reviews on the XTR, but not the lower model.
I got kobalt xtr tools but ill be getting some dewalt usa assembled stuff next.
Just ordered mine at acme. Awesome video! Thank you!
You should use an 8 ah or 6ah battery
Question?: Where those bolt sets greased/lubricated? Hard Joint or Soft Joint? Thanks for all of your Test Vids!
From a Milwaukee user, dewalt has slowly pulled me back in.
It all started on Black Friday, dewalt was selling a multi-tool with a battery and charger for only 100 bucks.
I said what the heck, I'll have the battery to try out other tools as I go. With that one battery.. I now have five DeWalt tools.
I've returned Milwaukee tools, for example their M18 sander has horrible organomics. The battery gets on the way of my palm. But dewalt has Way better design and comfort.
I don't want to talk too much.. but honestly Milwaukee and DeWalt both bump heads.. where one tool fails the other one prevails.
So will u say it’s a good wrench for a mechanic?
How would it do with a flexvolt battery...?
That's what I wanted to see too. I'm sure it would've helped the 1000ft lbs
Hello Tim.
For it to even break 600,700,800 like that is amazing
I have ans use both Dewalt and Milwaukee cordless tools. It's really hard to say for the most part what one is better than the other. My goto is usually the Milwaukee, but that means nothing. I have this one in the video as well. I like it so far. I'm not picking one over the other. They both do a great job for me. I work construction for a large company. P1 group. We all have a mix of Milwaukee and Dewalt.. nobody ever complains about one or the other. Honestly, I only ever hear the complaints from the armchair tool users. Hey, believe them or us people that earn a living using these 2 brands.
In STR's review of the Milw 2960/2962 mid-torques, it got up to breaking around #600 lbf-ft nuts. This one appears to be able to break nuts torqued to as much as 50% higher, at #900. Torque Test Channel's numbers were similar (roughly 40+% better specs in some tests). Those are just the numbers they came up with, but I am interested in your opinion that for your purpose you don't really see much of a difference. Not to say the tool testing channel's numbers are not related to "real use" scenarios or are otherwise relevant, but I am still very interested in your opinion that one is doesn't stand out for you vs another...? In what ways are they closer in performance (for your purpose, and from your perspective) than not? Thx.
@ronc4146 Unless there was a different video, Shop tools review of the 2962 only went up to 600ft lbs because he only had smaller bolts and even said he was worried it was going to mess up the threads. The Milwaukee had no issue with the 2 bolts at 600ft lbs. It would be nice for them to do additional testing to see how far the Milwaukee will go. I just got the dcf891 and have the 2962 and in my initial testing the Milwaukee felt slightly more powerful but time will tell as I get to use them both more often. I need to watch the ttc test again and see the torque curves because it could explain it if the Milwaukee comes in harder initially. The Milwaukee being smaller I feel like it would get into more spaces more often for automotive but if the dcf891 lives up to its testing specs it may be able to get into a space the high torque cant and get the job done if the milwaukee cant. Also if you watch TTC videos or read their comments they still reach for the Milwaukee more often and I think its because its more compact for their usage.
i was really just worried about whether this thing would be able to break loose my wheel lugs. i think it should be good.
Mine just arrived. Fantastic addition... 👍🏽
Love the testing of real nuts torque to a certain foot pound.
Wouldvle liked to see a 9ah or 12ah used
Is it normal that in mode 1-3 it stops when loosening then i have to press the trigger again for it to keep going ?
6:40 what was that!
Even bugs love this impact wrench!
The new wider batterys wilk help the balance of the tool i find the dcf899 very too heavy and damaged a lot of my batterys being to heavy screws keep breaking free were threads are . Keep
how come mine doesnt have the made in usa decal? i noticed yours does
This thing couldnt even break loose my brake caliper bolts on my suv. I put my ratchet on it and it was stuck on there but it didnt take a crazy amount of effort and i had it broke loose. There is no way that bolt was like 1000 flbs,so That was preaty dissapointing but i does do lugnuts preaty well.
Wish they would build a power stack battery for the 12V platform . It’s all
a homeowner needs .
I bet they faze out all their batteries except the power stack once they get a supplier they can rely on who can meet their needs
Can anyone answer the max torque in setting #1 , and or #2? I put some lugs on in setting #1, we went down the street and they were a little loose. I thought I read or heard setting #1 was 100lbs-ft 🎉 perhaps not, I had to re torque them all. A precise 100lbs-ft tq in setting 1 would be really nice to get wheels real close and not over torque
What's the bolt symbol mean in the speed adjuster
I just bought the 6ah I had a old 3ah. I was wondering if the 4ah would have been good.
The beast
Going in reverse it seems like the speed is the same through all settings but going forward the speed changes when changing speeds why is that? Thanks
I picked up the 891 thanks to this video. Question regarding Dewalt batteries. Which ones have 21700 cells? I know the dcb240 does, but do any others? Thx!
I think 6ah and higher have those larger cells
Most Impressive...!
Great Job 👍
Gotta try it with the dcb206 or dcb208 20v 6ah version not flexvolt 6 ah and 8ah and see if that 1000 ft lbs is more reasonably attainable. Either way very impressive. I already got my dcf891 with a free dcb240 from acme tools for $249
Best review I’ve seen
Id try the new 5ah powerstack things gotta be even more piwefful
I'd love to see you run the DeWalt 6.0ah battery with the 21700 cells ...👍🖖 .....
Hi..question..does this thing will work on a semitruck, to take the wheels out..help please thanks
hello, how is this model working on, do you still have it, I'm asking because we have recently had problems with gears, do you know anything about it? Regards
I have a Makita TD002 impact driver (its similar to the GDT001, but the newer model, not available in US) with the 4.0AH 40V battery and it weighs 4lb 9oz with that beast of a battery. I was going to get the 2.5AH but the 4.0 was only $10 more ($139 vs $149, thats a helluva deal for a 4.0AH, got it on Overstock!). Oops!
LET'S GO TJ!!!🏁
BEAST 👍
Is the DCF891B the different anvil?
Been waiting for this one.
Have you tried it with a flexvolt battery? I just got mine and it seems to have less power with my new 9ah flexvolt than my old 4ah batteries
