  • In this video I compare the new DCF900 to my 4yr old and very well used DCF899.
    I also unbox the new 12v 3/8" DeWalt Ratchet DCF503.

    I never knew that there were two different chargers! Went and checked mine after seeing this, and luckily they're both 4A's. I had postponed buying new tools for SO long, because of issues like that- The manufacturers just spew a bunch of puffery, but very little real info. Makes it so hard to find exactly what you want, that you just say "screw it! I'll make do with my old stuff!". I ultimately went with the Dewalt platform, including the DCF900...and am very happy. Had 'em for a year now, and they're still like brand new.

      I didn't know about the different charger sizes either until I had two sitting next to each other and noticed one was smaller

    I just went to Lowes and did the same thing. Also got a pair of 6 ah batteries with a 25% discount they gave me for buying the dcf900. I haven’t had a chance to try it out but hope all the RUclips praises are accurate. I do plan to go back for the ratchet soon

    In my search for a broken DCF899 to use for a replacement housing I noticed that almost all of them had a broken detent pin anvil. The two extra holes for the pin and the pivot compromise the structural integrity allowing it to break under use.

    • @emmettturner9452
      @emmettturner9452 Год назад +1

      Just saying that structural integrity is another reason why you might consider one type of anvil over the other. Though I might prefer the detent pin that’s more likely to break for usability reasons, I might also prefer the more solid construction of the hog ring anvil for durability reasons.

    I have mostly dewalt tools and like you have had good luck with them. I do have a few milwaukee m12 tools also have been good. Torque test channel did a test on the dcf900 and it was a beast. I don't need that much torque so I bought the new mid torque model and it's a beast also. They make great tools

    I have two craftsman c3 impacts got new die hard batteries I’ve dad got them at least 17 years ago welp I’m driving in lag screws for fencing and I broke down and just got a DC899 today was split between ryobi and dewalt. Last year I bought a 3/8 ryobi electric ratchet wrench with the long head thing is really good for tight spots

    • @Mechanical_Mind
      @Mechanical_Mind  Год назад +1

      Your going to love the 899. The reason I started going w/ DeWalt was because it was the only brand that I wouldn't need to replace after a year of use & abuse. Thier chops saws, drills, impact drivers, and hammer drills just kept on working. Now their impact wrenches are my favorite tools. I only bought the dcf900 because I wanted it. The 899 is still working great.

  • @alcerz984

    I just tend to wonder if that electrical speed selector will last as long as the mechanical one and how much the repair cost would be after the warranty?

    • @Mechanical_Mind
      @Mechanical_Mind  Год назад +2

      I need to do another review on it soon. When I made this video I had just purchased the 900. Already there have been a few times at the shop where the other guy's Milwaukees couldn't break a nut loose but my DCF900 did.
      As as selector switch I think the new switch might last longer vs the 899s. That is the only issue Ive had with the 899. Even though is a mechanical slide its still just sliding over a small circuit board below it. Ive had to clean it many time. The new switch on the 900 seems to be sealed up bettter. Time will only tell but Im hoping it doesn't give issues. Thanks for watching! 🍻

      @Mechanical_Mind  10 месяцев назад +1

      @@ChrisPatrick-q6k The 900 has noticeably more but doesn't destroy the 899. I'd say the 900 has about 20% more. The 899 is still overkill for many garage / auto jobs.

    • @ChrisPatrick-q6k
      @ChrisPatrick-q6k 10 месяцев назад

      Are the 900's are slightly larger? I'm only using it for my car, crank pulley bolts will probably be the tightest thing I release.
      Sorry to fire all this at you, just would like to make a decision! Cheers!

    • @Mechanical_Mind
      @Mechanical_Mind  10 месяцев назад +1

      @user-sf7kl9uh7k The 900 is noticeably heavier, but I think the body is the exact same. I think the only thing they changed was a heavier anvil, digital selection switch, work light, and the precision switch mode.

    a word of warning these dcf900 aren't built as well as the 899 mine has failed within a year n had to go back to the 899 just look on RUclips there's videos of these broken, its getting sent off for DeWalt warranty but lost confidence in this tool n back to the workhorse 899

    You never mentioned the price of this impact wrench

    • @Mechanical_Mind
      @Mechanical_Mind  Год назад

      The 900 was $350 with the tool, 5AH battery, charger and carry bag. There will be options in the stores to buy just the tool. I would guess the impact wrench alone would be about $200.
      I paid $300 for the 899 full kit back in 2019. Then it went on sale for $250.

      Yeah I just like how the detent pin holds every socket or extention so well. I do love the DCF900. It is a beast. It either breaks the nut loose or breaks the bolt. Either way it's coming off. 🤣
