I'd love the Milwaukee! Yellow is just not my colour 😂
LOL - No worries, it won't be yellow for long...... it's already got a nice "dirt patina" happening.... :D
1400 ft-lbs for the Milwaukee compared to 1200 for the dcf899
In my experience the milwaukee stuff is a lot heavier than dewalt..
@@sly9263 light weight or power your choice
A few pounds that’s if it’s a few pounds heavier it’s probably less but I’d rather just handle a heavier tool for a good chunk more power
I've read that Dewalt is working on a new model to 1-up the competition. That's what's awesome about having choice, they're always making bigger and better tools. It's just like anything else, it'll go back and forth on who offers the most torque at the moment.
I just got one and so far I'm impressed. I used it for one tire change and soon ill be using it for my suspension. I just use setting 3 to loosen my lugs nuts. Mine are torqued to 90ft/lbs. But I've found setting 1 to be useful for tightening the lug nuts a good few smacks before setting the car down. Makes my tire changes soo much faster. After using hand tools for 12 years ill be happy to use it again.
I use mine in an industrial setting w/ various size bolts and this thing is a boss. We break rusty nuts w/ it all day long and it's paid for itself numerous times. The detent (sp) pin is a must if you use a swivel. Trust me I've taken a socket to the forehead. The bother is worth the trouble. You can't go wrong w/ this model - Dewalt got it right on this occasion.
This is a very reliable tool it takes a beating and asks for more
You are correct about the tool's durability. I was at a stop light when a Dewalt DCF889 literally fell off the back of a pick-up truck in front of me. By the time I realized what it was, the p/u truck driver was long gone. Anyway, I stopped and recovered it but the handle cracked off leaving the battery dangling from a small section of the handle by the tool's wires. I took it appart at home and glued it back together with Gorilla Glue. Bought a charger for it and a year later and it still works fine. Dewalt tools takes a licking but keeps on ticking.
Lucky find. I've treated my tools hard and they work like the day I bought them. Dewalt is just all around good.
Try this spot for a replacement body for your impact.

Setting #1 is actually about 140ft lbs and #2 is about 400 ft lbs and #3 reached over 900 as seen in another video with proper testing.
Noooo...no is not.... get real will ya....
@@dsimms9401 you are an idiot.... time for the hammer...lol
ruclips.net/video/wUcHP7lRRgM/видео.html
@@JohnnysSpeedShop yes it is. I have mine. You just need to let it hammer about 7-10 times in 1st and u will get over 100lbs.. if you let it hammer 2 3 times ull be around 60.
thanks for doing a real world test for each setting.
Just got mine today. Been waiting for the price to drop and it did, got it on sale for $249.99 bundle. Can’t wait to use it for all my car. I recently bought the DCF894 impact wrench for smaller job and this one (DCF899,) for tougher job.
Just for the record bro its an impact wrench not an impact driver. Besides from that. Good video mate 🙂 look forward to future videos 👍🏼
good review. i agree with this review as a 899 owner myself..accurate numbers
that 899 has absolutely proven to dominate itll easily snap lugs like their nothin dewalt hit the nail on the head with this one, not only has it proven itself to the industry but its also still alive n strong after a year n a half with me so far when iv never had an impact even last year... other than the 1" pneumatic but theyre built on a different level the dewalt even have a broken anvil a helper was usin it, didnt have the socket on all the way (im assuming) n broke the anvil where the detent ball cavity was, i dont like the detent ball because it makes a pain to change sockets so i grind it down a tiny bit, the hog rings worse tho
I did a similar test while changing wheels for the summer, my lug nuts are torqued at 80 ft-lb, I could remove most of them at setting 1 (100lb). However, to tighten, no way it's 100 lb, even at setting 2 (300 ft-lb), I could still tighten maybe 1/16 of a turn with a hand tool afterwards. When I torque it by hand feel, might be higher than 80 but not above 100 that's for sure. So yeah, not quite at all compared to the official numbers. Reverse torque might be higher. Don't know about setting 3 but doubt it's 700 ft-lb for forward torque. Oh and I did it with a fully charged battery, so no, no difference with your numbers.
You shouldn't be torquing something with a impact anyway. It's to get it loose and to get it tight tight. All impact are notoriously unreliable with tightening torque numbers. You snug them down and then torque them.
@@DS2951 As I've said, I could even turn it with a hand tool which means, the torque was from being excessive from the power tool at setting 2.
This review is hard to believe. I have same gun and can remove 3/4" bolts torqued at 240 ftlbs with ease, something i tried with Milwaukee previously and they never budged...Not sure if a fully changed battery and the 6amp hr batteries i use is the difference or not
Removal is good and yes it will remove high torqued bolts this was more on tightening torque values...I also have 6amp battery it did make a difference but not that much...mine definitely worked better after a few weeks off use...
Wow, i work in a truck body shop, and use these dewalts on everything! We have 3/4" and 1" CP windy guns, and these dewalts perform just as well. We torque 1.25" bolts to 1490Nm using a 6' long 1" digital torque wrench, and the DeWalt guns will crack them back off again if needed. I'm having trouble believing that you are struggling with lug nuts... Something seems amiss.
That gun works much better now I guess it need broken in but there is no way the numbers are what "default" claims, I've tested with my snap on tech angle as well....not even close....even with 6amp hr battery
Problem might be he’s using an extension and it takes away power from the tool.!
A rigged test. Run the battery down, then test ?
With a full charge, it will deliver rated torque.
No it will not....
yeah i have one of these they quote 1650nm nutt busting ... mine i tested it to 2200 nm they make as much if not more power than listed
Lol.....Okey dokie
when in 1st you can let it hit for longer to achieve its max torque.
for 100lbs out of 1st i let it hit for 5 to 10 seconds
Yeah this test result seem very weak. I have the same tool and it rocks all day long. It has even taken a beaten from 6-7 ft high. So don’t baby it - it is a beast.
They’re great I ran mine over smashed it to bits and order new housing and switch for $80
I watched a video on toques put out on the Milwaukee 1/2” and the dewalt 1/2” and the dewalt had higher torques
I have this wrench, and it has failed me twice to remove wheel nuts .. Also, I believe the forward and reverse switch is totally in the wrong position. as it's very easily knocked into forward or reverse accidentally.
100 % agree on the switch, I do it all the time and on top of that the switch has no feel to it, like it's not attached, just slides into forward and reverse....
The switch sucks!
IMHO, time is a factor too. Setting 1 will get 100 ft lbs but only after maybe 8 minutes of wailing on it. Setting 2 about 3 minutes and setting 1 under 1 minute.
They probably didn't test on a 21mm tho you have to find out what they did there testing on as far as socket to fastener combo
I just picked this sucker up- it's a lot heavier than I anticipated but also pretty powerful. It took lugs, caliper, rotor, and some shock bolts off like it was no big deal. Unfortunately for me I don't have a garage yet so I needed something powered, otherwise I'd probably never have bought this over an airtool. Fortunately the batteries go with the rest of the Dewalt stuff I have... that's how they get you these days.
Yeah mate...same for me. I still grab the airguns since this is so heavy, but it's good for lug nuts and things that are not easy accessible with and air hise/ air gun....
I believe the ratings are reverse torque not tightening
Nope.....I was quoting what the tightening values are supposed to be.
Got ya, real testing showed 1096 break away with a certain nut and bolt combo. Good tool none the less tho setting 3 is all I use
@@lambchopLSX87 yup me too...anything more I pull out the aircat and crank the compressor to 180psi....😂😂
In reality the nut busting is the most important,the tighting is just a convenience ,the number of times I've had a six foot tube on a wheel brace ,and me jumping on it because some idiot ran them up on full torque ,
Dude I’ve see the 3/8 take out lug nuts… these impacts are WAY TOO UNDERRATED! 😂 Im a proud owner of the 3/8 and 1/2 and NEVER FAILED ME. I’ve take bolts off with these that even using a breaker bar couldn’t achieve, NO BULL!
Lol....congrats....mines a peice a crap...
@@JohnnysSpeedShop what did you find to work better? Seriously like i have no issues with my guns, but i am curious as to what you found to be better 🤔
@Jose Marrero aircraft 1250k, a 20cfm compressor and 165 psi...job done...blows the doors off of this tool.
@@JohnnysSpeedShop doesn’t anything with a compressor outperform battery operated guns?? 😂
@@josemarrero7982 nooooo not at all...
Idk man, mine doesn't fuck around. It takes lug nuts off of a big rig without a problem. You might want to charge it up first.
Mine dose too mate..its a beast but its not what dewalt claims...dont get me wrong..great tool..the forward and reverse switch is junk..but still...worth it for sure..
I bought the 894 it couldn't break away my lugs set at 100 ft i then bought the 899 it rips the lugs nuts right off of my Saturn vue suv...
I like your enthusiasm. Good video.
Cheers mate....this video gets a lot of hate for some reason.... I think most don't watch till the end... 🤣🤣
@@dsimms9401 that's what the tool comes with, I have a 6amp as well make zero difference so not sure what your comment means.......
What model was Milwaukee that you mentioned?
Just remember 1200 breakaway torque and 700 tightening torque
just remember that's a lie... lol
@@JohnnysSpeedShop did you ever do another proper review with your impact wrench or is it still as wimpy as you make it seem? I don't know what kind of trouble you have with yours but mine has broken many brand new and old 5/8 grade 8 bolts. We use all new bolts when shortening semi trucks or changing fifth wheels or axle torque rods and my DeWalt can easily break the old rusty bolts and can back off over 1000 ft lbs easily enough I am sure. My click style torque wrench only goes to 650ft lbs but I can easily tighten past that with my DeWalt so I think 700 ft lbs tightening is no exaggeration in most cases. I run an 8ah DeWalt battery. I have even used it to change wheel loader tires. I would not even want to use it on that little wheel you used it on for fear of twisting it up like a pretzel.
Have one of the old type 1/2 Dewalt impacts tough and durable BUT heavy and not very compact still hanging on to bit of the nordie accent greetings from Dublin.
Thanks
Is it heavier than the milwaukee M18 high torque
For what it's worth ,run them nuts up on full power ,u will need to get you're finger of that trigger quick or u will strip them, if it's any help ,trying to tighten a tight nut is hard and not reliable,it's like retorqueing a head stud ,break it back then torque .
I'm seriously considering this model, but it's slightly more expensive in many places to get the hog ring anvil. Have you found the detent pin anvil to be a pain, as others have?
It's not that bad, depending on your socket set and if you line up the hole for the pin it's not too bad to deal with.
Cool, thanks for the reply, man. Since I posted that I've found a killer deal on a hog-ring Milwaukee model, even lower-priced than any detent-pin DeWalt models I've seen. If I couldn't have found that I'd just get the detent pin, but I got lucky. Good to know for future impact wrench buys, though!
Is your torque wrench calibrated
yes
Looking for a new toy guess who popped up 😊, what would say about the 899 did you have a bolt that you couldn’t undo yet ? Cheers mate 👍👍👍
You know the more I use this tool the more I like it..... I wasn't very impressed when I got it but i ended up getting a 6 amp hr battery and that seemed to make all the difference in the tools performance....I've broken a few bolts with it so I should make a follow up video.....👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Johnny's Speed Shop cool looking forward to the follow up video 👍👍👍
@@JohnnysSpeedShop yes that 6amp battery does make a difference mine came with 4amp hr the switch was really noticed
Why don't you test it without the extension.
Did you watch the whole video????
Yeah watch the video for reals
What are foot pines?
Ask you mom
Lol
take off the flippin extension
Watch the whole video.....🤪🤪
Please tell for SUVs what better to buy dcf894 or dcf899 ?
899 bud
899 all the way
it's rubbish.. I have one... and DeWalt customer service is non-existent. The most basic wheel nuts are a struggle. the battery has fallen apart the screws keep loosening
yup - I don't use it anymore, the forward / reverse switch has completely fallen apart, I can't even use it, in case something is overtightened and broken or stripped out... total piece of crap...
Why would you have your torgue wrench at 90 degree angle instead of having it straight up?
Doesn't matter what angle it's at..... the torque doesn't change based on the angle of the wrench.....WTF.....
Why are you using an extension for ft/lbs testing. It’s no where close to accurate
Why don't you watch the entire video....same tests are done without the extension.....
Watch the video dummy
I've been thinking about buying this impact, do you still use it? What's your opinion about it now?
I use it all the time, is s great tool... two things... is very very heavy and I broke the switch for forward and reverse it seems to be a weak point...good luck mate
I have one and it couldn't remove the lugs off a 2002 Mercedes E320
Are you a mechanic? Do you use this very often?
Not any more...I used to be...and yes I use this thing daily....
I dont think ur giving it enough time to torque up the nut
Aye mate any more time and you will lose all your hearing...lol....nah mate its just not what they say it is....but its still a good tool...apart from the forward and reverse switch...thats a peice of crap...🤣
Mine broke on first use
Are you a real mechanic? Lose the extension. You didn't fully charge the battery either. It may have two bars, but that isn't fully charged. It's misleading. When you buy a new tool the FIRST thing you do is a full charge. That should have ripped your lug off no problem. terrible test of this tool. There are better videos that show this tool is a beast
So you think this tool should only work when fully charged ? ? Ate you for real ?? And why don't you watch the entire video... you will see i did it with AND without the extension.... jeezzz
Inaccurate results with inaccurate testing...
It was never meant to be accurate it's just me cocking about in my garage, if you think it can do what dewalt claims then good for you mate.....
mine is crap, cant take off hand tightened wheel nuts
LOL...I hope it's better than that :)
What good is a test using a dead battery?
It was not dead
Plus I've used the tool for a very long time now...no difference I even bought the 6amp he battery....SAME....
Well yea, the brain box in the tool will only let you go so far in torque or you would burn out the tool
You have offended the dewalt gods in the comment section below! Prepare to incur their wrath!!
Lol....I'm ready....
😆😆😆
I love it , i want buy it now , can you help me Sỉr .
太多废话
