Agreed, larger fastener or larger/newer battery and the 860 should be winning, but regardless, the 870 seems to punch above its weight class, and is much easier on the ears.
@@robabbott381 I’ve done a video on the difference in noise. And If you’re talking about the makita soft impact I would say makita is just a little quieter. But Dewalt has more torque. As it should since the makita has already been out for a little while now. If makita makes a 2nd gen it would be a more fair comparison.
@@KjWilliams_ the other thing is that I’m a dewalt guy for all my tools but I bought makita only because dewalt didn’t have a soft impact. The batteries are huge and annoying and the charger takes up too much room in my kit. Having to carry two chargers is stupidity. Dewalt should have come out with this sooner Think I’ll be retiring the makita. Now Dewalt needs to up their 18 gage pinner before I buy a Milwaukee
@@robabbott381 I couldn’t agree more those batteries are annoying. If you decide to retire the makita you won’t be disappointed with the Dewalt! And Milwaukee nailers are definitely above the rest that’s for sure. Flex just came out with some really nice nailers that I’m thinking about getting.
@@KjWilliams_they do have the 2.0 and 3.0 that’s more compact to use on impact driver. Dean Doherty also has proven that red is built like shit internally.

I couldn’t have said it better myself. I’ve had a lot of oil impulse impacts and the 870 is by FAR the best.
I would love to see with 5AH & longer screws! Maybe even 9AH flexvolt if you happen to have one.
The whole point is the noise! Is the dewalt quieter than the makita.

@@KjWilliams_they did come out. Xdt19z has more torque than 16.
