Glad you made this because this was one of the impact wrenches I have been considering and after hearing what you said it does to the sockets I believe it is more than what I need
Love all the new DeWALT impact wrenches, I literally have all of them in 12 and 20 volt except this one, i haven't needed anything stronger than my new mid torque, great video 👍

I never own a power tool like that . But I like to have one . I’m shopping around. I think it’s my best choice: Dewalt XR20 279 buck included Bag Battery Charger Tool .
Well so far everything I have seen out there on the web, the buck stops here, even including the Milwaukee doesn't come close to this particular DeWalt tool. She's a beauty and a keeper for decades to come.👍🏻
At 900ft/lbs the DCF900 is approaching the limit of a 1/2 anvil and exceeded many of the fasteners that fit 1/2 sockets. Dewalt should have put a 3/4 anvil on this.
Hi Brian, my dcf900 is an absolute beast as you said, it’s excellent for heavy suspension work and brake work, removes and installs on car bearing very well, lugs are a joke for this tool, very hard hitting,
That's my exact thought the buttons look nice but they won't hold up like the switches and the new mid torque is probably all you'll ever need, heard they're coming out with a 1inch model like the Ingersoll and Milwaukee
I have to disagree. I had the Mac midtorque (MCF894) which had the old switch. The switch kept getting misaligned and would bump over and change modes on it's own. Sometimes while I was removing something tight, which was pretty annoying. Mac replaced the switch on warranty once. After it did it again, I traded it for the new Dewalt midtorque with this new switch. No problems since. Maybe I just had bad luck with that gun. But I'm glad they redesigned it.
DeWalt has come out with some Awesome New Impact Wrench's , their Mid-Torque is really Powerful and Acually Replaces my old DeWalt High-Torque , it does everything I need it to do , No Problem, and it saved me some money by NOT Having to buy a New High- Torque ...Great Review.... 👍🖖

More FINE BUSINESS!!!I recently purchased a rough milled 2x12x16ft plank from the mill and the worker cut it with his DeWalt 41/2 in. circular saw.Had to do 2 passes to cut 2in deep. That motivated me to get one for ripping plywood. Pretty Slick tool.I will check to see if you have done a review on it yet.Enjoying this vid. in Westcoast Canada!CHEERS
Put on a 9ah flexvolt battery and see what else it can do. I also like the slide switch better than buttons as you can select speeds without looking when wearing gloves.
@torquetestchannel has the testing with larger batteries. IMHO, a 1-5/16 lug that is old and imstalled with the idea that tight is tight with a 1" pnuematic impact is a very good test for this. There is not much around that needs 1400 ft lbs of force. Anything rusted that I attach this too would be a mystery as to the force needed to remove it. Hard to be real word and scientific.
I skipped the mid torque and went straight for this animal. My Tacoma is rusty and needs the whole front end redone so I figured I would need the extra grunt for all the 20 year old suspension bolts
@@DevonBbrown absolutely. Even smaller seized rusty bolts like 14mm that I would usually snap by over torquing with hand tools and extensions just gently zip right off with the auto mode. Only wish i had a mean stubby for where this monster doesn't fit. Otherwise favorite tool I've bought.
Hello again WorkshopAddict Thank you again for another great video 👍 At video time 050. That impact battery look like it was about to take flight. Does that amount shaking effect the impact? Again thank you 😊
I had the DCF 921 which I absolutely love. The little stubby works great for taking lug nuts off of cars, but I always wanted to get a bigger one for like you said to help me work on vehicles for those stubborn bolts. What do you suggest this one or the DCF891?
I started out with the 20V 3/8, great impact and plenty for the 3/8 sized sockets, then i have the ol 899 or the old 1/2" impact of which this replaces. I recently ish got the ATOMIC 3/8 DCF921B which replaces the older 3/8, it has more torque than the dcf 891 and its even smaller, Its INSANE! I usually us chromies but it was snapping every one. and now I have on order the new dcf900... see how it goes lol will retire my 899 to home after 3 years in a shop.
Dewalt also just released oil resistant covers for their impact wrench line up. I'm thinking of snagging one up for my dcf922..... the baby version of the beastly dcf900 😐
What, in your opinion, are the better impact sockets to use with this. I was thinking about snagging one of these. I am a little weary tho at what point do the people that accept returns on the sockets quit taking them back.
Im looking for something for general purpose auto work. I live in a snowy climate so whenever im working on cars i have stubborn rusty blots. I was just replacing rotors and breaks and the calipers were a nightmare to get off with a breaker bar. Would something like this do me good? Are these stronger than air models?
Which Dewalt (impact wrench AND size battery) would YOU rely on to get lugnuts off in the middle of nowhere? aka FLAT TIRE. Tires since rotated by local mechanic/all new lugnuts put on late fall 2022. (2 were ruined on that misadventure. We found the hole and patched it with super glue & sand to get us back to a traveled section of dirt road. Ryobi inflator with us but not the right tools or patches. Lesson learned BUT would like to head down a dirt road without being terrified of a repeat of that nightmare episode. Thankful for angel fuel tank driver who also drove out into the middle of nowhere that day!) Our mechanic seems to put the lugnuts on beyond tight! Manual ratchet wouldn't touch them. He used a Milwaukee after he couldn't even get them off "old school". Is there a term for loosening lugnuts and retightening for human strength?!
Ironically I find my premium impact sockets(Cr-mo) show much more wear than cheaper cr-va impact sockets. The cr-v is a much harder metal. Never broke an impact socket but my 3/4 ones get pretty beat up.
@@jameshill4900 I haven't even upgraded to the 900 yet I still have my 899 and every time I use a chrome vanadium socket I see shiny bits of metal flying everywhere and even after one use the socket becomes loose and sometimes cracks. At the very least it's ruining the sockets but at worse they could actually explode
Going with Milwaukee next time dewalt is a joke I use my impact gun for personal mechanic work out of nowhere it lost Torque and dewalt wants me to pay for it... I literally used it 7 times in a year since I bought it. Pissed off cause I paid 400 for the damn thing for it to just take a shit randomly.
Yes there’s a massive difference between the two. The NEW mid torque has almost identical nut busting power to the old high torque that you have. There’s almost 300 ft lbs of difference between the two models in independent testing.
Probably a stupid quesiton but why do americans keep referring to the drive size of impacts instead of any classification like 'mid-torque' when almost every model comes in 2-3 different drive sizes? I get that the numbers keep changing and all that but what do you mean by "1 inch impact"? I assume from context that means any of the 2handed kinds? But then theres 2 different 'classes' of impacts that come in both 1 and 3/4... Not trying to diss, just genuinly confused sometimes
@@antoniononame3037 What do you mean by "handle" though? A 1/2" anvil wouldnt break from the dynamic output of any 3/4 or 1" ive ever seen. I mean, well made tool steel is pretty durable. Also, as have been documented lately, som 3/8 outputs more torque than 1/2 on the exact same model My point was about semantics though. Why refer to 3/8 or 1/2 drive sizes as if they are a more powerful tool when its the exact same model? We dont do that here, we refer to either a 'class', a torque rating, wattage or any other descriptor that actually says something about the power output. And I really wanna know why its like that in the states :)
@@kvernesdotten it’s just for simplicity is all I’m getting too… And when I say handle I mean the workload generally speaking in America a 3/8 impact wrench would have less torque output then a 3/4 model not referring to how much power the unit can handle but how much but busting torque it yield’s daddy.
@@kvernesdotten to answer your first question, for me, this is habit to label the drive size and the impact size. The video title does list this as high torque. When I was a kid, we would day grab the 1/2" impact. I guess that is showing my age.
I broke the 1/2 in deWalt 1 gen before yours in one day doing brakes on my semi dry van not impressed went and got a 1” Milwaukee impact THAT is a beast not yer pussss dewalt
The thing is that you need to match the power to size ratio. It may hit harder than the milwaukee but then it transfers to your hand and arm. Using it all day will cause you discomfort. At that point it's time to move up to a 3/4 drive impact so you can control it better and not have the gun jump all over the place like in your video. I think that's where milwaukee has it right by maximizing the power to size ratio. In the end is all about using it all day and not get beat up by it.
Just ordered mine off Amazon can’t wait for it to come in tomorrow!
On Torque Test Channel, that baby was hitting well over 900lbs with the 6ah battery, it's a beast
