The MOST VERSATILE Impact Wrench | New Tool Tuesday

- The good old fashion method of removing a nut or bolt with a breaker bar stills works, however it runs the possibility of snapping a bolt as it will be under constant stress, unlike how an impact wrench works. An impact wrench gives small shocks / bursts to the bolt to jolt it and break it free, without causing any damage.
For the past 50 years, we’ve been stuck with using pneumatic variants of tools as that was the only way to go. Since battery technology has improved drastically in the past decade or so, pneumatic tools are now a thing of the past. Cordless tools are portable, much quieter, and typically product a lot more torque given the size of the tool.

The DCF899 1/2” Impact Wrench is an incredibly strong machine that is able to remove ANY nut or bolt found on a car. If the bolt doesn’t want to come out with this gun, its either welded to the car, or you’re using the tool incorrectly. With that being said, it is a rather bulky tool and weight more than twice as much as my smaller DCF894 1/2” Impact Wrench. I truly love them both, as they cannot replace each other. The larger 899 has no problem removing bolts, however is WAYYY overkill for just removing lug nuts. The 894 can remove lug nuts without a problem, and so much more.
NOTE Be sure to use impact grade sockets while using impact tools so you don’t run the risk of breaking the sockets. These tools are seriously strong, and won’t have any problem stripping the socket if it is a chrome socket that is intended for hand tools only (aka, a regular ratchet)**

![MOST POWERFUL IMPACT WRENCH? - [DEWALT DCF899]](/img/1.gif)
The axle nut was coming lose with the little impact, the line was moving you didn't give it enough time.
Exactly. Thank you
it can do it, but no point in wearing little dude out.
It wasn't moving it. It was rotating the whole assembly. Trust me, I once was a certified GM master technician and have removed thousands of axle nuts!
@@VanquisherUSMC you're right, you can see the rotor moving. Honestly if it did remove the axle nut easily my mind would have been blown. Plus these specs they put on the boxes are questionable. EVA RUclips channel tests other impacts torque values and got some interesting results. Still, this little impact is great.
plus I believe if he used the flexvolt battery with the smaller impact it would give the tool maximum power.
Those two are are really all you need. I have a Milwaukee M18 Fuel for high power and the older version of that Dewalt for lower powered needs. I use a 1/2 inch to 3/8 reducer adapter to use my 3/8 non impact sockets on the dewalt to help remove all 10mm, 12mm, and 14mm bolts.
I have the 894 and its excellent. But i would not use with 1.5 or 2a packs. Regardless of tool, voltage sag will be happening pretty quick if your doing any bigger jobs. Stick the flexvolt on the 894, or a 4a minimum for better performance. Over 800nm of undoing torque will take care of most general stuff at home or garage.
SOLD!! Because of you and your video I went out and bought this exact model! I was looking for a smaller impact wrench with enough power to take Lug-nuts off to change my truck tires for the winter and summer seasons and your video was very helpful in making that decision for me.
Don't know about when this video was made 2 years ago but now the DCF899 (bigger wrench) is much cheaper than the 894 (at least on Amazon), making it a much better buy for your money.
Just tighten the lugs back to 3 uggga ugggas
Fuck the imperial/metric system. Let's use ugggas
Mid setting is a smart feature look into it. Works great I own both dewalt
Is that in the manual please?
You mean number 2 setting?
The first cordless power tool was unveiled by Black & Decker in . In the mid-1960s, Martin Marietta Corporation contracted with Black & Decker to design tools for NASA. The tool company developed a zero-impact wrench for the Gemini project that spun bolts in zero gravity without spinning the astronaut.
I have had the big one dcf899 for 2 years now and i love it! Its more powerful than a air ipmact driver and its portable👌 it was expensive but i would it again. yes sometimes its a little bulkey but its the best tool I think I have ever bought
I have both the DCF899 and the DCF887 1/4" driver (and a lot of other DeWalt stuff too) both with a slew of DeWalt 5.0 20v batteries. The little DCF887 maxes at 152 lb/ft and the DCF899 stars at 140 lb/ft and I love them both. Price? You might cry but I bought the DCF899P2 kit with the impact/charger/5.0 batteryx2 and a contractor bag for $198Cdn. tax in!...but, my brother works for Stanley/B&D so I only buy TOTL DeWalt and you can't beat the employee pricing!
I got both I find myself going to the 894 or even the 901 12v impact wrench more often then the 899.
Just want to say thanks for this video; I was trying to decide between these two exact wrenches, and this helped a bunch.
I'm happy to hear that Doctor Jack!
My go to Impact Wrench is the Makita XWT11Z. I've used it on some tough stuff and it did relatively well. Even Axle nuts off a 99 Tahoe at the Junkyard.
I'm glad you said you need to use a torque wrench after. I've seen too many people just squeeze the trigger on their impact wrench and over tighten everything.
Couldn't agree with you more!!
I have both the 899 and 894. Started with the 894 but to keep wear down on it I bought the 899 to take heftier jobs. Love em
Nothing beats strong shoulders and hands. No air or electricity needed.
Until you snap a bolt.. been there done that 👍
I wish dewalt would make one of these with a build in torque settings.
I wish so too. That would really make working on cars much quicker and easier.
the best review of this tool I have seen by far I'm looking to get one for my car and my missus car too, just in case we need to change a tire. my rims lugnut hole are smaller so my tyre iron doesn't fit and some one crashed my car and did some damage to the rim and had to get a new one and I couldn't take it off to put the spare one.
Just got mine delivered today! It’s so beautiful I don’t even want to use it lol
OrangeManBad.MP4 , how much did you pay for? And how much is it now?
It happens to me too. I buy a new tool and delay using it to keep it nice, clean and shiney
@@andyhuang7526 they are a bit expensive but if you own older cars and repair them yourself i think they worth the money
Just bought mine for $199 came with 5amp battery from HD. They run those sales from time to time.
Nice review! Just purchased the mid range a few days ago. Haven’t used it on a Job yet but went to Home Depot and bought some big lag bolts and screwed into a 4x4 with no problem. Also took the lugs off my Ford F-150 with no problem either. Great tool to own!
You should of tried the big battery on the smaller impact. The torque goes up with the bigger the battery.
No it does not. 20 volts is 20 volts
*This was a really good deal for **MyBest.Tools** and adding in another drill driver is great. Arrived the next day after the order was placed. Happy with the purchase and love using Dewalt.*
I just bought me the DCF dewalt 894 from black Friday for $199.00 best compact wrench ever. My next one will be the big brother for high torque nuts and bolt on my car.
Glad you like it! That's cheap too 🙌
Great review. I picked up the smaller 894 a couple weeks ago because it was $50. off. Was changing the oil on an old mercedes that I recently purchased and the drain plug would not come off. Tried a 1/4" impact and still would not budge then got out the 894 and it took it off no problem. Some moron didn't use a crush washer and had to over tighten the plug to keep it from not dripping.
Also the click from a torque wrench is satisfying.
I have both! The big one is in my RV and the smaller one in the garage. Both works great!
I just got the DCF894 a couple weeks ago and pretty happy with it. Also got their 1/2 to 1/4 inch hex adapter which comes in handy when my little 1/4 driver gets stuck.
the smaller drill was moving then you stopped to use the bigger 1.
I just bought the 899 because I want maximum power when I need it. But you are right that a smaller one comes in handy if you have budget for a second gun.
I have this exact unit. It was a pleasant surprise !!
I like how clear you explain things!! Thank you for sharing.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you 🙌
You made a great video, so good that I took the big impact wrench back just now and traded for the little guy. Thank you. 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

That little one is great.... Put together registers for target and its so light for reaching places you cant really see. Think the one i have is even smaller tbh got it last year.
LOL, the small one was working. Ya didn't even give it a chance. Great video and explanation! Thanks!
I got the new 2022 model DCF900. It removes infamous Honda crank shaft bolt under a second! Quite impressive
I'm happy to hear you're happy with your beast! 💪
I’m mostly a Makita guy, and always wanted their mid-torque impact. But I picked this one up with two 5.0 batteries + charger for $150 during some random Amazon sale. It’s a sweet ass tool. Though I gotta say, the new Milwaukee compact impact wrenches seem very impressive.
That a a great price,when do they run sales like that?
Hi,
Just seen your video on the 1/2" dewalt mid impact. I believe you have the breaking away information wrong. The fastening torque is 330 ft-lbs max. The break away is 600 ft-lbs max torque.
The DeWalt 20v high torque 1/2" impact is 700 ft-lbs fastening max torque. The breakaway is 1200 ft-lbs max torque.
I could still be wrong but the mid impact could have taken the center bolt off.
By the way Milwaukee M18 1/2" mid impact is 450 ft-lbs fastening max. 600 ft-lbs max torque breakaway
This information is on both of their web site. Or for anyone who is looking for information on both impact.
Still, both brand are great tools to have.
the middle Switch is not medium mate, it's "Precision Wrench" with a stop before hammering
Dude doesnt read the manual
Guess some people just don't even bother reading the manual to find what each level setting is use for these day...lol.
That axcill nut was moving a little bit. You should switch the battery that was on the big drive and use it on the small drive. It would give you more power out of it. Can you make that video again testing the new drive again with the larger capacity battery.
I just bought this Dewalt after seeing your video. I will be buying the big boy later. Thanks
Good choice!! 💪
if you use the bigger battery you have youll be able to remove that axle nut :)
Hey just a heads up . That axel nit has a safety lock that needs to be released via screwdriver before you can blast it off . I think had you released it it would have came loose. The smaller gun that is . The bigger one is just brutal but any how hope you redefined the safety notch on your axel nut. Thanks for the vid . Much appreciated
Just wish car shop would use a torque wrench instead of relying on using just the impact gun. Great review.
Speed
i am a tech in a very high volume dealership in ny where we have a lot of rust . air tools are not even close to being out dated that is a insult to me. I use my air tools every day since I was 17 and i am 53 now count the years that I have been working in a shop and yes at home as well. air impact wrench and air ratchets are here to stay . dont get me wrong i love my cordless tools i have them as well . but they have there place and air tools have there place. I have some DEwalt and some milwaukee cordless tools but when i see a lot of rust on a old car I go for my IR2235 air wrench I spent enough on it so I want to use it
DeWalt FTW!!!! 😎👍🏽
Go big or go home... 🏡
That’s why dewalt is the worlds best brand
Mac version is 600ftlbs breakaway. I have one and It’s a beast. Doesn’t rattle like the dewalt version and it’s barely bigger than my Snap-on ct8810 3/8 but it is pricey.
Just got it and it can remove lug nuts with a 1.5 amp battery, happy with it
The Milwaukee stubby m12 is just plain awesome
Agree'
Also agree I love mine
Dude you're a genius. Thanks man.
Sure thing Johnathan! 👊 I'm happy to help
Great comparison. I got both, the big and the smaller one (DCF787, non XR). Dewalt is good.
Good choice!
I got one of those in the DeWalt pack I had to get for work but now I'm glad it came with it
Great video. I was going to buy the larger driver. I believe I don’t need that big of a tool. Thanks.
Glad I could help! The smaller 894 is terrific for 95% of the jobs.
Bro the small one did move the axle nut you just didn't give it a chance. You tapped the trigger and said nope. Plus you also have a tiny battery on it. Bigger battery = More power
The 894 is about half the weight of the 899, but is probably closer to 2/3 the size of the 899. It makes more sense for people like me to buy the 894, who don't live in the rustbelt, nor need 700 ft. lbs. in forward and 1,200 ft. lbs. in reverse (breakaway torque). The numbers for the DCF894 are 330 and 600, respectively. The extra weight adds up over the day, especially when you consider there is a lighter-weight and sized alternative that will do most of what the bigger, heavier model will do for you. The Tim Taylor rant for "More Power!" isn't always the best policy. There is a place and need for the 899; just be sure to evaluate your needs and requirements before you opt for it.
Just used dcf894 today to switch the rims...and I was able to take 80% of the lug nuts 🔩 with it...the rest of the lug nuts I had to remove with the wrench.
They supposed to be torqued on 80ft/lb which I believe they were since the previous rim swap was done 6 months ago in the service.
I was kinda disappointed since Dewalt claims 330ft/lb of torque 😕
Excellent video! Thanks
Glad you liked it!
The double stack battery would give it a little more torque. Like 5 or 6 ah. I’d like to see you try the axle nut again with a bigger battery
Useful video. I have wanted an impact wrench for some time now but could not afford the big one. I will use your link and if the price is right I will purchase. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing. You answered the exact question I had.
I'm happy to hear that Bryan! Cheers
How should you use the cordless impact wrench without causing a stud to strip and snap off? Use it on the lowest setting and start slow ? The lug studs saw shavings come off and even must have cross threaded when removing cause I snapped one lug stud off just removing wheels to rotate tires. Lug got stuck and used a breaker and it twisted off the stud
Milwaukee has stubby impacts coming out soon. Blows away anything else! Must have for mechanics.
Congratulations to Red China for more crappy tools
Fusion2016 and where do you think DEWALT tools are made? You are ignorant if you think "global parts" and an American flag on the packaging means American made. Not much difference between Milwaukee and DEWALT in the provenance of there Tools. Assembled locally doesn't mean locally made!
@@ibrazeau3044 DeWalt is at least building tools here with global parts... Some could be made in Mexico, China, God knows where else. In some videos, DeWalt is even building their electric motors here. The main thing is they are building quite a few tools here, with better quality control etc
Fusion2016 Milwaukee makes the best Mechanics Cordless tools. That's what their R & D concentrates on. They are better than Snap-On. The 5 year warranty is no questions asked when I had dealing with it. Dewalt makes great hammerdrills and Miter Saws. That's what they concentrate on. Milwaukee has the best line-up of cordless mechanics tools with awesome features, power, price, and warranty. If you are a mechanic, that's what I would put my money in to make money.
@@toptools7632 at the current time they are better then snap on in a few areas but snap on still dominates the market... Snap on won't sit around for long and their new product symposium like Milwaukee's is soon coming up
good video, i recently ordered one of these on amazoid. it was actually removing the axle nut, but you cut it off too early. it's designed to whack that shit so just let it do its thing.
The larger one has twice the power (not mentioned) and by you having the largest battery on it, you made it look even bigger. But don't me wrong, I'm getting the smaller one
I love my Dewalts
Me too!
Both dewalt impact wrenches are able to use the flexvolt battery packs.
What advantages would doing so bring?
@@thegasmove9341 check out the torque test channel.
Thanks for this video. I wanted to dee these side by side in comparison before i bought one.
Might have to go with the big boy
Both are terrific, but they are for different uses 👍
I have the smaller one, It has never let me down, Thinking of buying the big one because i have to do a CV axle Job on my Car :-)
wish me luck I am in America, they are expensive man
Don't worry about it and don't spend your precious bucks in the midst of the crisis; The small one will do the job just fine! :) Even if its heavily rusted, you need to give it a little time, do several 10-15 second attempts, and it will be off within 10 mins :) I know the need to get ALL the tools myself very well, we need to support and stop each other when we cross the line :D Actually, if you're doing just the outers, you might wanna grab a cheapo CV puller bracket, it takes them out like cheese unless the splines are messed up badly.
@@sergeantrhopwnzoncss Hey Jordan thank you man :-) I will try that. Thanks
You would have gotten the axle nut off with the compact impact wrench if you used a bigger battery. Try it again with the Flex Volt battery you had on the large impact wrench.
The second setting is NOT medium. It’s variable speed, depending on resistance.
When removing a nut it’ll, use full power, once it breaks it’ll stop for half a second, and then remove the nut at a reduced speed. This is done so it doesn’t come flying off the impact.
Also it’s rated for 600 lb ft of breakaway torque. It can take up to 15 seconds to achieve this.
I don't know somebody answered me try to contact De Walt and said they didn't get back to them, I can't find it now.
Anyways I have the mid torque half inch drive, and I have the 3/8 brushless impact I bought them as a set I haven't used the half inch yet but I have used the 3/8 a few times and actually tonight I did try to blow off two of my lug nuts off the rear of my 01 Grand Prix they came right off with a 3/8 I can't attest you what they were torqued to,
a garage rotated the tires for me when they balanced the rears and rotated them to the front. Either an experienced mechanic with an impact just made them so tight or they did torque them I don't know for sure, but my 3/8" impact took them right off.
Cool video bud helped a ton... might need to do some arm curls for the big boy impact wrench :)
Impact wrench!!! Impact drivers have the 1/4 hex chuck
Wrong socket for axle nut should be six sided, try that and it would work. The breakaway torque is the same "MAX" for each power setting. It is the tightening torque that changes.
Milan--What was the purpose of the chrome socket on the lug nuts, in addition to using the impact socket to remove them? I've not seen anyone do that before, and chrome sockets shouldn't be used with impact wrenches. Incidentally, I just bought one of these impact wrenches; the specs on the back of the box show max. torque running forward (to tighten a fastener) is 330 ft. lbs.; the maximum breakaway torque (i.e., running in reverse) is 600 ft. lbs. So far, I like mine; given it's size, weight and power, it will be everything I need for what I plan to ask of it. I don't believe you mentioned it's middle power range (the "precision wrenching" capability), but that was what cinched it for me.
So these tools are only for removing lug nuts, they can not screw back those lug nuts on with certain torque?
Exelent advice
I have one of these Dewalt tools, slightly bigger than this, max 700 ft lbs. It pops axle nuts off like nothing. It came with a carry bag. There's more than just the big one and the little one...
Nice. Thanks for the video bro...
Do i need metric socket or standar socket for a car wheels nut??
Thanks for video .
I’m really curious as to how the baby wrench would have preformed with the flex volt battery instead of the baby 2Ah battery .
Deal on it for $160 for the baby wrench tool only or $200 for the big boy with a 4ah battery .
I like the compactness and lightness of the baby wrench.
I have one of these, it is new. It has failed to remove basic car wheel nuts several times. Sometimes I wonder if these reviews are fixed. I purchased my Dewalt based on reviews like this one here
You should try to get DeWalt to warranty it maybe you got a bad one?
@@mrbreezeet1 Dewalt will not reply to several emails. Dewalt are rubbish
now they have same size for that smaller gun but double torque . it is dewalt DFC891 . Your must be DFC894 I guess
Now, are you able to takeoff Lugnuts with a impact driver ?
I just bought the smaller dewalt. Barely took off silverado lug nuts and couldn’t do the caliper bolts. A breaker bar 18” with one hand loosened the same bolt. 350 ft lbs? No way. I returned it and got the larger one.
The smaller one is only slightly more powerful than a standard 1/4 inch chuck impact driver. Don’t buy it, just get the larger one.
Left your deserved thumbs up - thanks! 👍
Much appreciated! Thank you Juan
I have both the Milwaukee mid torque and this one and I like both but I'll have to say I use the m18 most because it has more torque and a smaller foot print. I cant really tell the difference in weight I have to weigh them to see the difference.
What's the name of the battery charger for DCF894?? your link does not come with a battery
That small one is more expensive than the large one currently.
All you need to do is engage the emergency brake, stick a long screwdriver passing through the rotor inside one of the rotor holes to keep the wheel from spinning & it'll come off.
My favorite is the 20v 1/4" impact. Especially when using the 90 degree adapter. It makes reaching things in the minis engine bay soooo much easier
I can't say I've used a 1/4" impact. I bet it is super handing when working in the engine bay :)
Unfortunately all of the 90 degree adapters do not transfer the impact action.
Thank you for this cause I was really going to buy the DCF899 which is more expensive
Glad I could save you some money :)
The 899 is super heavy and bulkier when adding a big battery pack. Its only good for a short period of usage. The 894 should your go to, in almost everything for long duration usage without a arm fatigue.
It most power full tool
Nice tool i must have
How do you know which impact wrench will remove a lug nut. I just bought a Ryobi and it didn't it wouldn't do it.
i have 18v dewalt ddrill that i want to use to remove tyre nuts, do i need additional tools?
thanks for your video you took me from doubts I wanted to know about that tool and now I know what I am going to buy since I saw your dideo I bought it you have a like from me
I've been debating returning my 1/4'' dcf887d2 impact driver due to a badly wobbling chuck - which is a shame because the tool is awesome - so after watching 50 or so vids, seeing this one makes me think the 1/2'' is the way to go (& get an adapter so I can use my 1/4'' hex bits with the 1/2''). Milanmastracci you did a great demonstration - lots of good info - I appreciate it! 2 years have passed since you made this vid, how's the 894 doing now?
I'm happy to hear that! The 894 and 899 are still holding up great to this date. I have to say I use the 894 much more than the 899 because of how small and powerful it is. That's the one I would recommend for every day use.
@@milanmastracci Ok - good to know. From your vid, you're doing car related demonstrations, so have you used the impact dcf894 in other work, like drilling into metals or concrete? It will do it with the right adapter - my little Dewalt dcf887 screamed through steel plate using a 1/2''
bit better than my dedicated main Dewalt corded drill - w/o even going into the impacting stage - so I'm figuring the 1/2'' would have no problems with twice the torque. (I'm a metalworker/ welder BTW - so it's important to me). Thanks again - keep up the good vids!
A good vid and overview. I didn't know that the 3 settings had anything to do with reverse speed. I know on the Milwaukee Mid Torque impact the 3 speed settings apply to fastening only not removing.
What if I have neither one but I can get the bigger one at a cheaper price than the smaller one ? I work on my car a lot.
The Tool matches with your channel . great
Just sobyou know vcg construction has observed that the flexvolt batteries can sometimes fry tools under stress the tool can normally handle, noticed you were using one is all
Dewalt DCF889 and DCF894 are both excellent. Craftsman makes the best impact sockets. Get Craftsman impact sockets to go with the impact gun.
Tony DiSabatino Really ?
i like Hazet and Wiha impact sockets
even Wera non-impact can handle impact easily
Hung Tran You are paying a few hundred dollars for those brands, which is unnecessary. Craftsman is $75-150 for their impact sets.
