New Flex mid torque review soon?
@@nickduplaga507 I asked that not too long ago he said he’s just waiting for them to ship to him they have gotten delayed
Can we have this kinda of line up for all the major brands? I know some brands are sparse.
@@Juan188812 That's our plan to eventually do as time allows and brands introduce more
@@Juan188812 Too many ok tools leaves too much room for smaller brands to combine the niche tools. People rather have one tool that does the work of two, and better, in the smaller of the two’s size.
Flex (small mid torque) will take Milwaukee mid torque customers.
Hercules Ultra torque (1/2 with bolt loosening potential of 3/4) will take many 1/2 inch high torque customers. That’s why Dewalt is making a new high torque I think because it saw how much benefit it’s DCF900 made. Meanwhile Milwaukee I guess is panicking with it’s shareholders while they try releasing more useless niche tools, that most people don’t care for because they rather save space, or money, or both.
It’s the reason Dewalt atomic compact 1/2 is successful because it’s better than the Milwaukee 1/2, and who wants an extra set of 3/8 sockets when they can use 1/2 for both high torque and compact.
Maybe Milwaukee releases a new long delayed high torque with the new batteries soon. People don’t want to buy Milwaukee at this time I think. It’s a transition into Dewalt, and smaller companies. Milwaukee is lacking the big evolution jump rates of it’s products that other companies are doing. The new drills, and impact drivers for example are barely any improvement.
Really like this single brand comparison style, especially for a brand that, like you said, doesn't really... have models names that make sense and don't make it obvious when you're holding an entirely new generation of tool
He's doing better marketing for Dewalt than Dewalt themselves lol
The number at the end should literally be the amount of torque that it gives on average and then that would actually make sense to people!
There is a legitimate logic to a test like this. Often times once a user buys into a brand, they stay in it because buying several brands for their set of tools makes little sense. It's cheaper and handier to say with one make and one voltage. That said, if a Dewalt user is contemplating buying an impact, this lets them know what to expect for what they would pay for a given model.
This also means the channel will need to do one of these for every different brand. And I hope they do.
@@Charliemmafanit makes sense, the high number is how stuck the bolt can be, the low number is regular working torque, or how close it can get to a particular torque number reliably.
@@bustingnutsatxReally??
The best impact is the one you make on someone else's life, like this channel.
Corny but very good 😊
Lol
I bought both my 850 and 891 after watching your earlier reviews. Love them. Thank you for all these great vids!
I started buying into Dewalt around 2015 and can’t be happier with DEWALT’s current Impact offerings, they’re freakin beastly 💪🏽🇺🇸
Picked up a 891 after watching your video. Thing is crazy! Made light work of rusted suspension bolts on my EVO X.
Thank you! This is exactly the video I needed, I was going insane trying to figure out the model numbers I needed for different tasks. Hope to see more of these in the future
Because of this channel the DCF891 has been my absolute go to and everyday driver. I use it with the 1.7ah powerstack and I just love it.
Loved the graph showing what impact can undo 90 % of the time - their new impacts are brilliant 👍
Fantastic video as always! Based on your earlier videos I bought both the DCF892B and did a full suspension front end rebuild with no issues at all, it makes life way easier with a light weight impact working under a car. I also ended up getting the DCF923B I take on road trips so I don't have to feel like poo in case of having to change tires in winter or summer. I mostly have M12 tools but for impacts I went with Dewalt and they are excellent tools for sure and it's good to see they are made here in the country!
Dewalt has now the best compact, mid and high torque. This should be the new benchmark.
they are
2nd best compact*
I use a DCF900 daily, as a Chev tech in the rust belt it’s a must lol. Within 6 months of use I managed to snap the dogs right off the hammer assembly, be ready to warranty it lol
Only took them 5 years to catch up with Milwaukee 😂 give it 12 months they'll be back on their rightful place at the bottom with theft deterrent teal
Yea even after 8 months my 900 hasn't said no yet. Not even on German axle bolts. What's not to like about that. 😃
Love this. I don't run any DeWalt right now but I know how my tools compare to DeWalt and now I can see where each one fits. Maybe there is some team yellow in my future. Anyway, there is an old saying by somebody smart. My parents used to tell me this. "It is only by comparing ourselves generally to a great many people, and selectively to a few, that we begin to determine who we are" and that is exactly what we need with tools. Thanks for the work you do!
Great video! Dewalt is all I use for impacts, and I agree with your battery recommendations. The 923/921 with the 1.7 Powerstack is an awesome combination. One of my favourite tools.
Im glad that dewalt is coming back to what it was, grew up on dewalt bevause of my grandpa but moved to Milwaukee. Started investing in dewalt a cpuple months ago, love their 12v impact driver.
I've been looking to upgrade my set of DeWalt tools, so this helps me out a TON! thank you!
I have the dcf911 and the dcf891. Both are amazing tools, and I can't imagine needing any more power than the 891. I only bought the 911 for the smaller size.
I just found this channel a week or so ago.. this was the most helpful video i’ve seen yet. It also kept my attention better.. thanks for the content.. i bought a gen 2 freak the other day as a result of info from this channel (kit on sale $50)
Nice! For someone new to impact drivers/wrenches and looking at the DeWalt line for many weeks, this finally helps clarify which ones to get for the purpose intended. Very helpful indeed. Thanks a lot for making this kind of video.
Which one did you get
@@kevinroark5815 None yet. And they just released the new DCF-860.
Thank you! Finally a video that addresses the exact questions I have about the specific brand I’m looking at. Thank you.
This style of comparison it the goods!! If you could do this for everything that would be epic. (I realize time consuming for you guys). However perfectly timed for me, because DeWalt is having a "tax time" sale here currently in Australia. So i am personally looking for my 1st Dewalt wrench setup. Thank you so much guys, this makes it super dang easy to make decisions. Also the timing is uncanny. Must mean i was destined to be team yellow after all.
I know they're a bit less common but, I'd love to see something like this for Ryobi's lineup as that's what I have all the batteries for
That's like 3 tools tho.
@@TorqueTestChannel yeah you right, I forgot how... Sparse their line is lol
@@sofielee4122 I still see the older 1/2" 3 spd brushed impact in some home depots and Direct Tools outlets, then you have the newer brushed impact from last black friday which I bought from Amazon a month ago, the new One HP compact, the P262 mid torque and the mighty One HP high torque. All those are 1/2" anvil. Not too shabby
@eng_alv9022 I suppose we could throw in a driver and thier 3/8" as well. If/when they come out with a new impact we could take a swing at it
@@TorqueTestChannel I'll also put in my vote for a Ryobi video... This is a REALLY handy lookup for what tool is "best" for each brand!
Absolutely love my DCF900. It managed to shear a wheel bolt off a sprinter, where the milwaukee and snap on impacts couldnt even get a mm of movement. We resorted to a 1 metre breaker bar, with another metre worth of pipe to get all them off
Thanks to your vid, just got myself the DCF891 today and man, that thing is amazing for its size! Have already used it and cannot complain at all!
Thanks I hace really been enjoying your content. I dont have applications that push my m12 fuel surge driver that I need to pull out my 1st gen. m18 fuel, so watching a comparison of all of these massive torque yellow tools is purely esoteric and: your great video.
this graph format is the best ever
A well presented video with a nice chart. I purchased the dcf921 and dcf891 after watching your videos a few months back, got them in a good deal and they suit my needs for a bit of tlc on my car.
Keep up the good work!
Same. I tried to use the 891 in a tight space and it was difficult. I have the 921 ordered. Probably should have started with the 921.
Which one do you find using more? I can only get one at the moment and am debating between those two
Used my DCF899 to take the crank pulley bolt out of a BMW diesel yesterday. The BMW pulley bolts are infamous for being awkward, the DCF899 using a 22mm Ingersoll weighted socket didn't even blink it came off so fast I thought I had picked too big a socket impressed 👍
You guys are great! These videos have helped my purchases big time. Thank you!
Thanks, this was just what I was looking for.
I have the DCF850 Atomic. I work in the commercial door industry. The super compact design is awesome Love it
great video, i’ve been curious how they compare to the milwaukee video scale so it was nice to see this. although i really appreciated when you compared other competitors, like the dewalt and milwaukee mid torque or the m12 and 12v dewalt. still good nonetheless.
Thank you for doing this video I was waiting for it
A year ago I went from 18v to 20v and replaced all my Dewalt cordless tools except the big impact wrench. The Dewalt website is horrible when trying to choose and have been holding off. Thanks to your great comparision I can fianally make a decent choice. Just ordered the DCF900. Thank you so much..
Great video. Helps put everything into practice.
thank you for your video. i use dewalt and have used them for the last 25yrs. i didnt want to change to milwaukee because i dont want a bunch of different batteries. i like using one battery system so i've always used dewalt. i've always got good longevity from my dewalts. im glad to see that they have some heavy weights out there. i use air because i already had my setup before i knew that anyone could build cordless that would be even remotely comparable. otherwise all of my tools would be cordless dewalt. i have been thinking about getting a dewalt cordless for the times when my carb on my generator is plugged up. thank you so much for helping me figure out which would be best for beside the highway use. also, seeing the difference in torque with the battery comparison was very helpful as well. again, thank you for all that you do.
This video was such a great help. Thank you!
Ive had an 899 for a few years and i rarely found a bolt it wouldnt undo, recently bought an 891 to replace it, same power with far less heft. Love it, I can only imagine how many bolts id snap with the 900 and above
Dewalt 892 worked good on my very over-tightened lug nuts on a couple of cars and trailer, and also the big 33mm nut securing my tow ball, which was somewhat rusted on after 20 years.
The dcf891 is my favorite mod torque such a beast for its size
Great presentation! I was confused on what all the models were. Definitely going with one of the compact models as my work is installing office furniture i dont need high torque and the size is a plus for carrying around with me all day.
I've been a long time viewer and subscriber of your channel! And I love it! It's always on point, and always gives me the info I'm looking for! So thanks for that! Now with all that says, have you done a Milwaukee video like this yet? I've been looking at getting a Milwaukee impact. But it's always been one of those, as great as it would be to have. I can't justify spending the money to buy two of three of these tools. Because I'm not a mechanic by trade, I work on my own truck, and lawn equipment and that sorta thing! So I'm looking for something that is about the best, for the most applications! Anyhow, I'm sorry if I missed a video like this on the Milwaukee line of impacts! Thanks for the answer either way! Take care guys!
Thanks man for your time for make this video,
I have the atomic shallow impact driver and the older high torque XR 899 I think, and between the two of them I'm quite happy with my choices.
Love it helped me find the one ive been looking for the 893!!!!
I went over with the Ryobi a few years ago as they were growing and would get the jobs done most of the time but I needed something more powerful and reliable. I looked at Milwaukee and DeWalt at the same time and Milwaukee was the one many were talking about 3 years ago. But I'm happy I went with DeWalt. They are known for reliable tools but the upgrades DeWalt is making these last 2 or 3 years have been huge upgrades. I'm so happy with DeWalt and they have upgraded and still upgrading non stop for the last 3 years. I just went to go throw another 1000 bucks on their stuff thanks to the November specials. Couldn't be happier. They out perform most including Milwaukee at a good price range.
I use the slim low profile 4ah battery with 21000 cells & it seems to work really well
Nice video. I'm a fan of DeWalt tools and am also looking for another 1/4" impact driver. Thanks for this. What would be nice if you could format all this info into a spec sheet of some kind that people could print out for comparison.
Very helpful. I have one of each models u showed. But still enjoyed your breakdown of all the specs..!
Hi. About 10y ago I decided to move to battery tools and chose team yellow over red or blue and I’m not disappointed. The other colours have their great features and I have some red handtools (lovely) and blue corded ones (fab). I have the following. My DCF885 (small), is the 90% go to and a very capable and controllable driver for screws and smaller other fasteners. Next the DCF880, a 9% go to, but only a little more capable. It’s sometimes very useful as a fairly short 1/2”. Finally the DCF899, a 1% go to but I’ve not found many occasions where it fails. Occasionally it’s been crucial but the same can be said for long box-end spanners and breaker bars. Also, penetrating fluid and a high-frequency induction coil-heater can be far more useful as big drivers can break fasteners as soon as look at them. Cheers!
Great video, this really helped me make and informed purchase
I love my DCF923 & DCF891, beasts for the size 👍
Thank you. Great detailed review
Just ordered my dcf 961 can't wait
What a great video! Ill be going with the 891 for wrenching on my car and truck.
Bro I needed that storm bringer. I used my DCF921 stubby for the rusted bulged upper control arm like you mentioned and none doing. So I breaker barred it with pipe cheat now all the nut thread is eaten up. Time to hit the angle grinder and welding in a new receiver nut. Wish me luck. 😂
Absolutely fantastic video...impressed
This is the best review (that I have seen) of DeWalt cordless impact wrenches. You did a quantitative comparison test and show the data. The chart of which kind of fasteners require what amount of torque is very helpful. Could you summarize your data in a table at the end of the video?
I really appreciate your channel, coming into the industry as a new heavy duty diesel tech I really didn’t want to wast money on junk impacts. Currently rocking the 891 and 900 and couldn’t be happier, lots of my colleagues have started to come to the yellow side when my yellow stuff outperforms their tried and true red tools. 😂
891 is good Perfomance but not strong as old ones, anvil is weak part.
But still super happy, we run four 891 & 900 at moment.
Fantastic timing. I just am accepting that my Atomic doesn't pull off 90% of lugnuts and have been trying to navigate what I want to buy as a step up. You just made my shopping easy. 😁
DCF891!
I'm running the 921 and it's ripped lug nuts off of everything I've put in front of it so far, including my f350.
@@flatheadvorhees agreed, I owned the 911 and 921 and both could do my trucks' lugnuts. The DCF911 struggled a bit though, around 5-6 seconds with the 4Ah slim battery
@Derrik Weyrauch yes sir I have the 921 as well, so compact but powerful
Don't get me wrong, my 911 has been amazing. I've just been dealing with a lot of nasty stuff tightened by idiots. With the 891 the same price, getting a 921 doesn't make much sense since my 911 will do almost everything the 921 will do.
Thanks for all your hard work to help us make a informed decision on what we need! Do you have a test set like this for Makita?
The letters DCF have lost all meaning for me... Great video!
Great video. I modded my 850 with a 3/8 anvil and have an 891 as well, I work on a lot of work trucks and heavy equipment and it is *extremely* rare that I need more beans. 900 is next, I don't think I can justify the weight increase of the 961 for such a small increase over the 900.
900 is a Monster
How well does that 3/8 mod work on the 850? Thinking about doing it myself. What parts do I need and where can I find details
@gbeving3167 I made a short video on my channel and put the anvil I used in the description somewhere. I use that thing more than any tool I own daily now and is hasn't had a single issue.
Really hope kobalt comes out with a next gen high torque I really like their mid torque. Very light and powerful.
Great video. Bought the DCF 921 (strongest stubby) and gotten into bumblebee ecosystem thanks to your channel. 😂
I purchased the DCF 961 after having numerous problems when restoring my 2003 Volvo S60... users should be aware that it's quite capable of shearing Factory-fitted Lug Nuts alongside every other seized Nut! It's an absolute beast that requires a lot of thought before you unleash it!
Wow! You guys are heros, and I'm glad to see Dewalt pushing hard to be competitive, for slightly cheaper than Milwaukee? Amazing tools here. Just wish they would clean up their naming conventions, lol.
Great video! Thanks!!
Great video idea, I'm going to check which DeWalts I have and see if it's worth upgrading.
Amazing video. Love it. I am so happy with Dewalt.
I bought a DCF900 a few weeks ago. Easily takes off rusted VW axle nuts. Though, the one it couldnt take off, neither could my co-workers 3/4" mac air gun. even with heat it took him maybe 20 minutes to remove it, he had to heat it up so much.
While I was on base, the base exchange clearancing out the DCF891B for 90 bucks. An absolute steal since it was the last one in stock too!
I like how you have the Honda logo on the crank bolt image lol
Nicely done
Iv hade most of these impact drivers in the last ten years and I have had very good luck with them dropping on concrete many times and the ony problem iv had was the ball and spring chucks would malfunction dropping the bit out but it was an easy fix.
Beast of a review. Much appreciated.
Great video thanks for sharing
Fantastic video. Thank you!
“If you’re in the market, you’re in the right place…”
This is my favorite straight forward catch phrase ever❤
I have the dcf911 and it's been great. If I need anything more I'll reach for my Pneumatic impact.
I cannot thank you enough for this precise review on each dewalt impact with the chart guide! Brilliant
Was changing the timing belt on an Acura TL and learned about the dreaded Honda crank bolts.
Used a DCF921 and a 19mm impact hoping it'd workout. It didn't budge.
Ended up getting a DCF900 and the weighted Lisle 19mm.
Not even 1 second into pulling the trigger and it just broke free and came loose, it worked even better than I'd have hoped probably overkill even 😂
This guy has done a great job
Still luvin' my 887 after all these years around the house. 😊
I want to get my hands on the DCF961 what a beast
I've been using a dcf899 for about 7 years.. it's more than enough for anything I do, but damn if these videos don't make me want to upgrade
Outstanding video.
Beautiful work. Much better than any corporation video.
What are those people at DeWalt doing?
excellent visuals. I like the scores on the DCF850 and may get this based on my general use and price. I didn't see a score on the DCF887, which was my 1st choice. Did you do a torque test on this one?
BTW, I am very curious how the various models of Ryobi Impact drill would match up on these test. Have you done any similar tests?
Great comparison. I know which one I will get thanks to this.
Thanks! Great job!
Today I purchased the DCF891 to go with my Hercules impact driver and their 1/2 High Torque impact wrench. The Mid Torque from Hercules is pretty anemic so I was looking for something on the smaller side with decent power. The DCF891 is most definitely strong and anyone considering should try it out. I am keeping the HF High Torque but I see myself getting a lot of use from the 891 because of its convenient size
Thanks for this. I've been trying to figure out what I actually need for general car maintenance. The dcf921 seems great for me. I almost went bigger but I like the compact size.
the 921/922 (they're the same?) is genuinely one of the best automotive tools, along with the milwaukee equivalent. Anything larger won't be as easily manouvrable, but most importantly get in those tight places, and anything smaller can't guarantee that the parts come off.
Wow, this took a while to come out... Good stuff.
Took awhile for their new range to be complete
Thank you for the video! It was very well done and as others have stated: just the information I was looking for/needed.
Have you any thoughts/analysis on DeWalt's relatively new feature called Precision Wrenching that reportedly guards against over torquing the tightening or loosening with these mid to high torque drivers? Thank you in advance, c3.
The dcf891 is the best all around impact that i own. The snapon cinder block gets used unoften since i bought this.
Hey! Great video, i’m wondering if you had any reccomandations for a durable adapter for impact driver? The ones I have used in the past ended up breaking really quickly
I have every single one of these dewalt tools but the beta that isn't out yet my most used by far is the Atomics for every day Shop work with customer vehicles 80 percent can be done with the atomics other 20 percent is for the big boy high torques @Torque Test Channel
Absolutely. The atomic is clutch
What`s more impressive .. these machines .. insane ones imo .. OR the bolt they test on not deforming or snapping :D
Ive got the atomic 20v 1/2 inch drill, the atomic 1/4 and 3/8 impacts and the 3/8 ratchet. Love them.
1/2 inch drill is dumb. all u need ia 1/2 inch high torque impact, 1/4, and then adapter 1/2 to 3/8 and impact rated drill bit and ur set boyo
Just recently got a 921 for my everday drilling and socket breaking and really liking the thing. Only wish it had a anvil with a 1/4hex head also. then it would be perfect haha.
Word is, DeWalts' next impact wrench will have enough torque to dismantle reality.
