I recently started buying Dewalt 12 volt tools after being a long time owner of M18 Milwaukee only. The Dewalt 12 volt form factor is the best on the market, it's perfectly balanced, and scaled down in size properly. I say this because the Milwaukee M12 handle just can't compete, due to their odd battery shape.
I got the same 3/8 but the 20V version because all I have are the 20V batteries. I just didn’t want to keep charging batteries, so 20V it is, and the 20V version, I can use it with my other 20V power tools. That one is very convenient and light, and I can see your point of getting the 12V version.
I agree. Longevity, reliability, and durability are the very reasons I switched to DeWalt 12 years ago. Its the only brand I didn't need to replace every year.
I said the same thing until I saw these Atomics, then I returned the Hercules Ultra to HF. It takes lugs off instantly, and multiple verified 450lb breakaway tests, it does 90% of any working garage at 1/3 the weight. Average homeowner with

Hi all, can anyone help me with an issue I’m having with my new DCF903, it hasn’t got the power to open car wheel bolts, which really surprised me. Battery is a 5.0 and is fully charged
Yes understood, but it has exactly the same power rating as the DCF901, I broke loose the wheel nuts with my bar and then thought I’d go around the nuts then with the impact just to be faster and even then it still wouldn’t break them, this thing is rated at 340Nm, this can’t be right
Lug nuts on passenger cars and trucks are no match for modern, compact impact wrenches with good batteries. Things get hairy when you're dealing 18 wheelers and other heavy machinery. I had the DCF901 for a little while and it was awesome for everything I threw at it.
@@Mechanical_Mind I haven't tried it, no. I only really use my impact wrench when I'm working on my car, which is infrequent. I don't work on anything that requires a high-impact torque wrench. Those are really for working on big toys where you can get away with not using a 3/4" or 1" anvil.
Hey Bob, I was just thinking yesterday that I need to do an update video on the DCF901. Its by far my favorite tool now and gets used the most daily. I still have to break out the DCF899 occasionally but the 901 does 90% of the jobs.
After making this video I added a DCF911 which is identical to DCF901 but uses a 20v battery. I like using the powerstack battery in the DCF911. Still light weight but much more power vs the 12v 2 AH
Help her pack by putting her 4 different sized frying pans into her 4 different sized purses 😅 If she begs to stay, 1 condition, must prepare 90% of meals in the smallest pan for 1 month 🤣😘
She wad made at me for weeks when I bought a new snap on tool box. 😆 But I ended up upgrading her car from a Honda mini van to Porsche Cayenne so she is happy af now
@@Mechanical_Mind I ended up getting the 12v and Lowe's has a sale on the batteries 2x 5ah 12v for $100 I love it so far for the purposes I need it for God bless brother

Thanks for the review. You sold me on it over the 20v version.

Tools are great when new , longevity is key

You did it right get the big stuff then work down to the smaller more convenient stuff
I said the same thing until I saw these Atomics, then I returned the Hercules Ultra to HF. It takes lugs off instantly, and multiple verified 450lb breakaway tests,

I just got one, I also ordered a 20v to 12v Dewalt converter so I can use my larger batteries. Hopefully it will be good.

The dcf903 is only a 3/8" drive. You need a 1/2" drive impact. Plus it depends on how tight lug nuts are
Yes understood, but it has exactly the same power rating as the DCF901, I broke loose the wheel nuts with my bar and then thought I’d go around the nuts then with the impact just to be faster and even then it still wouldn’t break them, this thing is rated at 340Nm, this can’t be right

Nice video 👍
I'm all dewalt good video

Have you tried the DCF900 (or 899 it replaced) those are beast. Rarely need that much power but it's nice to have when you do need it

She hit the street yet?

I would sure like to see an update thanks
I would, he talks wayy too much
A good quality tool is like man’s best friend dog always be there for you, a women maybe not. Well put.
Think it's awesome now. Should get the 5ah battery for it!!

Awesome video, did your wife ever get mad? 😂
Yeah she got really mad when I bought a new snap on tool box. Oh well 😆🤷♂️. Thanks for watching 🍻
That's it I'm going to lowes 🛻💨
Did you get one? I also like thenDCF911, it's the same as the 901 but takes the 20v battery

You'll love it. The 12v dcf901 is my favorite impact
