    Thank you so much.
    Every other video is about removing lug nuts.
    I had purchased a Milwaukee with 2 batteries and a charger for $434 just to keep in my car, just in case of a flat or some light work.
    After considering how much money it was for the applications that I needed it, I returned it and purchased the DeWalt for $269 including tax.
    I have the Milwaukee mid range for work I’m a diesel mechanic for 35 years and it does 90% of the jobs, on undercarriage .

    Thanks for posting this! I just bought the 894 on sale for about $170. I can't wait to use it extensively. It did work well on my GMC Yukon lug nuts. I also have a Harbour Freight corded Bauer impact that has a breakaway torque of 1050 ft that I could use for stubborn axle nuts in case the 894 can't handle it. The Bauer weighs a hefty 8.2 pounds and not much control so I wouldn't want to use it all the time. The 894 is a pleasure to use.

    Hi,
    I have this dewalt mid impact and it's great. I use the new Dewalt 6.0ah (21700) cell battery for big jobs and it's awsome. The 5.0ah is also good. If you go smaller for space and light weight then use the new compact 3.0ah battery with the (21700) cell in them. You will see a difference with 21700 cells batteries.
    Yes, it will do 90 percent of the work. Sometimes you will need a larger impact.

      Larger batteries don't give you more power, only longer battery life. Bigger battery=more power is a common misconception.

    • @bengrant4044
      @bengrant4044 4 года назад +2

      Actually they do... larger capacity batteries have cells in parallel, which means more consistent current. If the tool requires 100 watts it's much easier for 10 cells to provide 10 watts each vs 5 cells trying to provide 20 each which (depending on the tool) they can not... So while a higher ah battery doesn't technically provide more power, a lower ah battery will provide less... run an 894 with a 2ah then run it with a 6ah the difference is quite significant.

    • @frankcee4342
      @frankcee4342 4 года назад

      @@bengrant4044 Right, higher ah battery doesn't technically provide more power. My point. A tool, given the required current, will provide only the rated power output. After that, higher available current will just give longer run time.

    Thanks for this. I was considering going to a junk yard and making this exact video while deciding between the 894 and 899 because all I could find is people comparing how fast impact wrenches drive lag screws. I do my own mechanic work at home and was nervous the 894 wouldn't be enough. Straight to the point, what the tool can do under a 20 year old truck. 894 seems plenty for me.

    The number 36 moved from the 2 o'clock position to almost 11 o'clock position something was turning, I think it would have done the axle nut. Extension take a lot of power away from the torque also. i own both the DCF894 and the DCF 899, I hardly ever use the 899. Great Video

The DeWalt line is locally available to me, so I went with Dewalt this time around. I would recommend the "XR" line over the non-XR line. Those bundle/contractor 5-tool packs are the non-XR line...beware. If you want, you can buy them individually as "XR" line or of you can find an XR Combo Pack, that be great.

      I like learning additional trades to keep me busy. Before the year is out, I want to set t-posts and run a property fence to keep my dogs inside the perimeter. I've set t-posts but not to the extent of a whole fence line. Will be interesting. But, my hens' structure needs to be expanded :)

      Sounds like a job...
      I need a couple of quotes for two bathroom remodels.

      Haha. A ceramic tile cutter would be nice to have.

      Sounds good to have an impact wrench like this for a motor bike. Do you use it mainly in the "2" setting or the "1" setting for motor bike work?

      I would think so too. But the impact wrench still works to this day as I use it for various jobs maybe only 2 times a week. Still working though.

    @4:35 it seemed that you were using a 36mm chrome vanadium regular socket on the axle nut! ..that’s what I think you were using a wrong socket, chrome sockets aren’t mean/can’t hold on to such torque, and will shatter on you easily.. you’ll need an “impact-rated” sockets if you were using an impact wrench.

      You're correct on that. All I had in the truck at the wrecking yard. I've also learned more from comments like yours. Thanks for watching and the good information. Merry Christmas.
