Flex is a promising new comer, kind of like the young fighter has a lot of potential but still has a long way to go to catch up to the 2 heavyweights DeWalt and Milwaukee.
To be fair it's battery was a little undersized. Going to make a couple shorts today testing the DCF961 with 5ah powerstack and Milwaukee 6ah Forge. Is it going to change the outcome? I don't think so
Good vid however kinda Weird results ime the flex broke shit free negligibly better than the 2967 I actually returned the 2967 with it’s tall ass grip and high pitched noise vs the flex which It’s like clockwork consistent and made like a tank But even just a 3.5ah on the 1472 it beat the 2967 all but once of 14-15 runs breaking fasteners free marginally better I will say it the m18 & a 6HO pack beat the flex every time driving lags I just truly hate the tall ass grip. If they could’ve packed that power into the 2967 ergonomics honestly I would’ve probably kept Milwaukee as I am a Milwaukee fan but the flex being built like a tank and a lifetime warranty. I couldn’t pass it up and actually I’m glad I did. It’s performed flawlessly for the past six ish months, I don’t get it twisted I didn’t return the Milwaukee for performance issues, purely ergonomics, build quality, warranty and just felt like a more solid tool
I just did a live a couple days ago and the FLEX beat the Milwaukee, marginally. Going live tonight at 6PM PST, if you want to see them head to head, let me know, I'll do it.
m18 is still my choice, the 961 is too big, heavy, and violent for a 1/2 I'd consider using. if I were shopping around for a 3/4 then dewalt would definitly be my first pick, until or unless milwaukee releases a 3/4 that can at least make more torque than their own 1/2.
I suppose it depends on the application. They are both high torque impact wrenches. They all have quite a bit of vibration. The VTEC takes some getting to used to, but it's so worth it because you know it's going to do almost any job.
the 964 is out now, its a 961 with a 3/4 anvil. delivers more torque than the 1/2 and it doesnt destroy sockets like the 1/2 will. honestly 3/4 is probably just better for the power levels we're looking at here
@ you can use it for basically anything, I was referring to farm equipment because most farm trucks require a strong break away torque. It’ll break away any car or truck bolts, but testing it in a farm vehicle with rusted bolts, it has no issues. There’s a lot of videos on the 961 on farm equipment.
Just bought DeWalt DCF891 today! Fingers crossed it would hold up for years to come🤞
Looking at these high torques just make my wrists hurt looking at them lol.
You can definitely feel the power with these High Torques!
Great video man!
Appreciate it!

I really like how the Flex is made , Practically whole tool is ALUMINUM ...... 👍🖖

Dewalt babyyy!
@@CygnusX-pt1ms Dewalt takes the cake on this one

The Dewalt 961 was made for farm equipment use.
Source?

Did Anyone really have any doubts Who was going to Win ..... 🤭😂🤣👍🖖
The DCF961 is a straight up beast
Milwaukee number one
@@maelxmusic1613 not on this test it isn't. It came in 2nd though.
10 amp hour for sure when others have 8
I'll get a 10ah stacked Lithium and retest it in the future. They only sell it with the rear handle circular saw, though.
Flex makes a 8 amp to now
Don't think it's STACKED LITHIUM
I think I'll make two shorts today and retest the Milwaukee with 6ah forge and Dewalt with a 5ah powerstack. Be on the lookout for those Mike
Should have tested with 10-20 percent more torque. You quit too early. Dewalt was just warming up
The highest setting is 750 ft-lbs. I'll try and get a higher torque adapter
