I bought one last summer. It was so ergonomic. I just finished demoing and rebuilding my 12’ x 20’ deck. Used 4” Deck screws through treated 2x6 deck lumber. I used the second setting so I could easly keep the screwheads flush . I averaged 2 to 3 battery changes a day.
I wish Dewalt chose to expand their 12V lineup .
I'm an RV technician...I bought this because it's plenty power for what I need and the 12v battery comes in handy for diagnosing many things.
the 12v ergonomics are what sold me so comfy in the hand when using, these are all on sale right now at lowes for 99.00 a kit.
that was the same for me, I really like how it feels. thanks for watching
Just bought one. Drove 2 inch fence post screws for 3 hours (not nonstop but ALOT) on 1 bar.
@@ogj5 that's impressive!
I got a free 5.0ah battery too
@@ianjay4596 sweet deal!
I have the full extreme line. As well as 20v impacts and some m12 tools to compare them to. The dewalt 12v extremes are my favorite tools. Just the right size and plenty of power for most jobs. I have 2 and 3ah batteries and see they now have a 5ah which would be good for the 3/8 impact wrench. We need more 12v extreme tools from dewalt.
I repair hydraulic equipment and I use the xtreme 1/2 inch impact wrench, it's great it's got lots of power, my 20 volt impact won't even fit in some places cuz of the big bulky battery.
I started out in the installation world using a DCF815, the older 12v impact driver. I have upgraded to the 20v series in previous years but I still have that old impact driver and it works as good as the day I bought it. Driven screws of all kinds over the years and it never failed me. Interesting to see the changes DeWalt made going forward with the series.
I'm on makita lineup. My wife said my tools looked beat to death. She ended up buying me a 20 volt brushless dewalt impact driver and drill kit. She really didn't understand I use Makita . I didn't say anything and told her I love it. The point I'm getting at is after I used the dewalts she bought me and fell in love. I literally never gave dewalt a chance because my dad always bought me Makita tools for birthdays. I now have dewalts newest high torque that as of now is the strongest 1/2 on market. I ended up with a multi tool from dewalt, 12 inch miter, and worm drive. Dewalt really makes some awesome tools. I can't remember model number but research it because dewalt has one 20 v impact model that burns up easy. I think those are mostly phased out now from big retailers. Thanks for the video.
As I got older I've went with 12v because of weight and now they are pretty powerful, I never use any of the switches I use it on high only
it's very impressive how far the power has come. I'm going to put it against one of my old 18v dewalt impacts and see how it holds up. I too love how light they are, thanks for watching!
I purchased all the tools in the new 12v extreme line, they are light ,powerful and affordable. The screwdriver is my go to tool. They need to expand on this line
agreed!
I just got em all too I'm really liking them
Hello Hammer, I purchase two months ago the DCF601 Dewalt 12V screwdriver, and really happy with it especially for wood working, it gives you the finesse when putting a screw, take a look.
i definitely want that tool! I will check it out
I had 2 of these. The first one i had used to break screw heads off, then i lost it so i immediately went out and bought another one and the one i have now is great. Don't know what I would do without it.
very handy impact, thanks for watching :)
Dang Bro.... Nice video!!!
Thank u for taking time to make this awesome demonstration!
my pleasure, glad you liked it! thanks for watching
I have this and love it. I have no issues with battery life. It handles most everyday chores with no problem. It is nice and compact and easy to use all day. Enough power for everyday chores. I also have the drill driver and the screwdriver.
Do you prefer the screwdriver or the impact driver for furniture and cabinets? If the impact can do the job, wonder if the screwdriver can be skipped...
@@matsudakodo you do without the screwdriver as the impact has the slow mode or I believe they call it precise mode.
I use one of these for electrical work outlets switches fans lights panel screws burns through all the small stuff with ease can even do some cut outs such a nice little drill to keep around
Great rvideo man. Supporting fellow tradesman
Thank you!
I think the Precision drive could be improved a bit. Shortening that delay would be a good start. Gotta love what DW is doing w the 12v line though. Would love to see them get some powerstack 12v in there too.
That would be nice for sure.
Home Depot in Ohio no longer carries the 12v line of DeWalt tools. I have the hammer drill, impact driver, drill, Reciprocating Saw, the Pivoting Reciprocating Saw, and light. They ALL are powerful enough to be used every day...but not necessarily "all day" continuously. For that, I use my 20v tools. I carry the impact driver on my hip all day and after a while, you almost forget it's there. Great tools and great video!
my HD only carries the impact and the drill, I haven't seen any 12v tools in stores at all. that's why I bought it, i want to lighten up the belt a bit. Thanks for watching :)
Yes I have that as well as th drill and the screwdriver. All of them are excellent tools.
I have one am an appliance tech I do 6 calls a day battery last me about 2 weeks and still has 2 bars great product
have the three amp battery that rocks!
nice, i think i need that
Hi Brad! You knocking em out with these videos! 👍 Lowe’s is running the promo whereby the 3/8 drill, 3/8 impact, 1/4 hex impact, or the ‘hacksaw,’ when purchased, includes the NEW 5.0 AH battery! Great deal everyone! I have personally used the 5.0, and despite the added size and weight, which is not bad, it is a game changer for this line. I took a freshly charged 2.0, and the new 5.0, and compared them back to back, in the drill, and the rpms were higher with the bigger battery. It is not earth shattering, but still a difference! One thing I have never cared for is the quick discharge and then abrupt shut off, with the 2.0 ah batteries. The 5.0 will likely stay on the drill. I hope they continue to expand and develop the Xtreme line. There is a ‘tough’ grease and grime resistant version of the 5.0 due to be released, along with an updated 1/2 inch impact wrench, so that tells me DeWalt isn’t going to kick the Xtreme line to the curb.
Stay safe and Healthy! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😁✌🏻🇺🇸
Thanks George!!!
Thanks for the inf George, I think dewalt will be expanding a lot on the Extreme line, they have to too compete with Milwaukee, Thanks for watching bud
@@tedmcdonald3377 You’re Welcome Ted !
Thanks Brad, good review!!! Waiting for another sale on the extremes
Thank you, they are pretty powerful for the size
Get them now Ted! See my comment above! 👍✌🏻
@@georgedavall9449 thanks George!!!
@@tedmcdonald3377 Youte Welcome Ted! 👍 You've gotta check out that deal, if it’s available at your store. The 5.0 battery must be packing some dense cells, as my dual stage DeWalt 6 amp charger ( I like it ) took 65 + minutes to fully charge it, out of its package! That told me the battery was for real. I question the 2.0 ratings on the kit batteries, as they drain so fast. Good luck! 👍😁✌🏻
@@georgedavall9449 the kits with the free 5 are back in stock at Lowe's.com
I use this for mechanic work with the 1/4, 3/8, 1/2" drive adaptors. Has removed most bolts, if not, I bust out the 12v 1/2" drive impact wrench!
I have the DCF887. Happy with it although it didn't handle a drop onto a concrete floor (from a 6' ladder) the wrong way very well. I'll look forward to the comparison.
I love the 887, I think I have 3 of them. i've definitely dropped mine a few times too, yours must have landed just the wrong way.
@@hammerandhome Landed perfectly on the tip of a long bit. Took a chuck out of the basement floor too. Produced a wobble. Got it replaced with no problem.
I have a couple other Dewalt 12v tools and their nice and light. I got their new 12v screw gun that I like because I can dial in the torque like a drill.
that screw gun looks pretty sweet, I definitely want to give it a try
Lo tengo desde hace un año y medio y no tengo nada malo que decir sobre él. Realmente me sorprendió lo eficiente que es para el trabajo del día a día. Liviano, potente y muy ergonómico.
Just scored the deal at lowes , came with same kit but they running a promo to get a free 5 amp hr. Battery with purchase
Sweet!
The Extreme 12v tools are great. They just need more tools. And, they around $70/$80 on sale.
agreed, they look sweet and it would be nice if they came out with more to choose from
my is broken it falls off from a roof I highly recommend I’m an hvac contractor I’ve been using my for almost 4 years I have the M 12 first generation is really good to but heavy a I prefer the Dewalt belt clip better I’ll get a new one tomorrow for $75 bare tool Amazon
Nice review thanks
Thanks, the belt clip is definitely one of the best. These impacts have yet to die on me
Thats a great impact! I have it and its got a lot of power for its size
it's amazing how powerful it is, i'm going to be doing some comparison videos soon.
Is it true that the main problem of this tool was the chuck? Is it wobbling?
The thing about impacts is that I cannot tell if I am overtightening, since it just continues to pound. With a regular driver, I can at least feel when its getting tight enough and stop. I understand why you would use an impact if the regular driver cannot get the job done, but I see so many carpenters using impacts for everything, even when a regular driver would be good enough, and be much quieter. So why the obsession with impacts for smaller screws?
I'm wondering the same. I can see saving money and just using the impact for everything as one reason.
The impact is a cut above drill, drill/driver or electric screwdriver for pretty much everything apart from drilling metal . Less gailing on the fastner no torque reaction to tire out hand/arm more compact. The over tightness you are experiencing is due to operater error, keep with it and you'll get the hang of releasing at the right point & featheing the trigger to snug it just right practice makes perfect.
@@fiercefix what if you're going into an existing hole and the impact starts impacting but doesn't make progress? Had to get out the drill to finish.
@@matsudakodoswap out the the fastner bit for a drill to pilot the hole & switch back although the impact can drill with appropriate drill bits now readily available it's not going to totally replace a drill & bit for removing material. If your on the job site or kitchen fitting you'll most likely have a small drill set up ready to go with your pre drill & the impact driver with the fastner likely pozi2 bit next to you also. Double trouble !! Also if it isn't driving in stop quick Sharpe before the faster snaps if it's pulled and spinning then it's next size up fastner...
I love it, I have the whole extreme kit
Nice, I wish we had more Extreme tools here in Canada
it is very nice but i have the 12v from milwaukee and i like that one better. you should do a vs video
will do, thx for watching
I know it isn't as powerful as the 2nd Gen M12 Fuel, but everything else on the Xtreme is better: ergonomics, control, and the light system especially. I prefer Milwaukee when it comes to 18v but favor DeWalt's 12v approach. If I need more power I just get the M18 Fuel.
Check out the makita 12v ctx impact driver and drill driver and jigsaw and multi tool and the circular saw
You will get it
Great video, could you tell me model number and is there variable speed on trigger
I have one and does everything I throw at it. Great for a diyer.
I personally think the DeWalt is the best 12 volt impact on the market. I do not like Milwaukee 12 volt because the tools are to fat and not comfortable. I built a 20X40 ft deck and used 3 inch screws a lot with mine and it never bogged down and the battery life was good for the size. It drives Tek screws super well. If you use big lags it’s naturally not going to be the best. It is strong enough for most jobs and very comfortable.
Whats different between 801 and 601? Best regards from germany
Saya dari Indonesia saya sangat suka dan saya ingin mempunyai alat ini
what you think about the DCF809
I bought the combo kit that comes with the impact and the drill, I really don't like the 809 impact, the drill is great. your better off buying the better impact.
Is there a 1/2 inch 12 volt impact wrench from dewalt?
Yes. It's coming out soon. The new 3/8 and 1/2 inch impacts have 400 pounds breakaway and 250 tightening. I think they are 200 or 250. But they have some type of oil and corrosion resistance as well
What kind of long bit do you use?
i'm not sure of the name, but I get them at Rona.
you talk for 9:50 without mentioning the model of the DeWalt!.... i still have no idea what you are referring too! You should always lead with the Model numbers
Check the description box below we usually have it there
Why even put it on low? Low is meant for tiny ikea furniture screws or something. If u have that tool outdoors keep it in high....
I don't think I will ever use the low setting. it's kind of a joke
Any one know how well it does with aluminum
Driving screws through aluminum? It works well when mounting electrical boxes to metal studs.
can you make an update with the 5ah battery
My 12v dewalt screw driver will sink 3 inch screws in
Check out the makita 12v ctx impact driver and drill driver and jigsaw and multi tool and the circular saw
oh boy! another lineup of tools to check out. I just might ;)
