Well, this thing will do to sockets what Thanos did to humans.

@@enderblazex2718 Half the socket right down the center disappears? Haha

Finally, an impact wrench worthy of the 15 ah Flexvolt.

You should have used one of your special weight sockets... UGGGG I really want to see 1k.

So... Stanley is like Apple now and carefully accidentally putting their prototypes in public?

or making sure those lug nuts are nice and tight!👌

Im so glad that in the future my oil pan bolts will never leak 😊

As a person who has had the "priviledge" of tearing half the stuff off the side of an engine in a tight engine bay to fix the damage done by an idiot who ignored the large 25NM Max warning and screwed the oil filter in so tight that a machine shop was needed to repair the damage, allow me to say "You, sir, are a bad man!" 🤪

Don’t forget the drain bolt and your spark plugs

Lmfao!

I’m giggling at this more than I should lol

Gotta turn them into t65 drive sockets

Exactly. How many impact socket can handle the repeated abuse that a 1/2” drive like this can dish out.

Imagine if you accidentally put a regular non impact socket on. An the poor extension bars

@@stephenparchewski1998 I kind of would prefer to be 3/4. I feel like it's easier to find 3/4 sockets that are larger sizes. You can find them at tractor supply but none over inch and a quarter that are half inch

Everyone we showed it to at the shop wanted it, including the receptionist

when I saw VTEC kick in during the 10s run, my wallet shed a tear. I hope that makes it to production.

@@mourakue1172 Perfect impact for Honda crank bolts

@@mourakue1172 vtec😂😂

@@TorqueTestChannel gotta have something to unjam the printer with duh lol

I'm not saying it's not possible. But the means by which we got this took a lot of... uh convincing we'll say to allow it to show up here. DeWALT is all about embargo dates to show a tool, dates you can test a tool. I very much do not think this is suppose to be seeing many eyes.

If the legal team takes it down, put black tape over all the logos and upload again!

Definitely not saying it is absolutely what they did. Just saying that, as unlikely as it may be (I don’t know enough about the back story to make any claims), it would be a clever way to get it done. Basically, if they wanted to make it seem unlikely, they (not exclusively “they” either) have very deep pockets to pay very clever people to make it happen that way. I imagine they can’t just ship you guys a tool, and say: hey look at this cool toy, as you guys would instantly get a spidey sense that there was a plot behind it. Also don’t undervalue the value of your channel, which is all about facts, impartial testing and has a lot of trust from your audience, as a consequence. Additionally, don’t underestimate how much a brand/marketing team/agency with enough budget, would covet that kind of quality exposure, especially when that channel doesn’t take sponsorship deals. I suppose we’ll have a better understanding when we see how they inevitably handle it: If they 1: steer into the slide/indifference, it was likely accidental, but they are happy with the outcome, or it met certain KPIs for the budget. 2: offer small resistance, in which case, they either knew it was going to happen, or started to react poorly, but saw value in capitalising on the mistake. 3: scorched earth meaning it was completely accidental and they’re doing damage control instinctively but detrimentally. If it’s either one of those first two, my money is on them engineering the whole thing, which would be worthy of a tip of the hat. Especially since it would mean they played all of us perfectly and likely would be the first and only time it will ever happen on TTC. That in itself would be worth gold to them in bragging rights over the competition, being able to penetrate a market that was otherwise impossible to reach. I’m a software engineer in a marketing department, with over 15years experience in, around and with similar schemes in the digital space. So even though I wouldn’t go so far as to say that they outright did, I know it’s absolutely possible that they could given enough time, budget and motivation. Accidental or not, your video has done more for them than 100’s of thousands of dollars in marketing spending ever would have. Anyway, just my 2c and great video! Nice to see we can still get more beans from a saturated market of “high torque” cordless impact guns and that innovation isn’t just dead, due to engineering to a price point.

Shhh! How are they going to sneak in free r&d testing if you give away their secrets like that?! 😡 Ya it was a total leak. Don’t listen to this guy! Oh whoops would you look at that looks like this shipment of un announced tools some how got lost, and ended up in TTC shop space. I hope he abides by the “top secret do not test! 😠 “ signage!

The problem is that people won't buy the stuff on the shelves right now if they think a skunkwork product that would be a big upgrade would hit the stores soon.

I feel like this is free advertising for dewalt though

@@IceColdBellPepper We test all the tools so whatever this made when it comes out would be on the channel anyways. I doubt they wanted this out before they announced it. I'm driving out of state now and leaving the phone at home :P

@@TorqueTestChannel don't worry too hard bro, the dewalt snipers kick out of the assassin's hands just like the high torques 😵‍💫

Nah these "leaks" generate a lot of buzz and thus free publicity for the company. People love feeling like we are some how in on a secret after all, just look at how rumors fly around a small town for example.

True true, you’re one of the few unbiased testers out there. Godspeed man 🫡

I’ll be using mine to bolt my toilet to the flange.

This will blow a spark plug right through your cylinder head lol

Oh Hello Mr. Lube

So basically the perfect tool for the quick lube shops to tighten the oil drain bolts.

@@blockbertus you legit made me cringe and gave me flashbacks to trying to work on my dad's car, cracked three sockets and busted a ratchet before I gave up.

I've never not managed to remove a stuck bolt. But generally the head just snaps off.

@@Mp57navy There's 3 stages of bolt removal. "Come loose" - The High Torque _"I wasn't asking"_ - The Acetylene Torch *_"I'll drag out your corpse"_* - Rip off the head and drill out the rest. If a bolt has to come out, it's coming out. Whether that's in itty bitty pieces, or a nice and mostly intact shape, is entirely up to the rusty piece of shit that dares stand between me and the end of my shift. :)

Funk!!!!

It's time to retest the drill and hex drive adapters.

What kinda drones are you flying that you need all the beans? :O

@@blockbertus First person forklifts.

I'll never quit marveling at the possibilities now. Fuck man 20 years ago you thought your cordless drill was badass

An awful lot of mechanics just don't use air in day to day any more.

@@evergreenrider True

I cant justify Snap-On when I was impressed by Dewalt from 2014 1/4 apex driver

​@@proscriptus I do because eventually weight and compactness comes into play

yeah

Aww the difference between men and women.... a Tool Time moment over Torque and power!!! then women Gawk over over priced Chinese made fake name brand purses..

The numbers coming out of these 1/2" impacts are insane. Makes you wonder if the proffesional homeowners out there ever get to stretch the legs of these machines lol My midtorque has handled everything I've thrown at, from lug nuts on passenger cars to semi leaf spring hanger bolts torqued to 375/400 ftlbs.

Well, with me, if I need to loosen anything requiring over 500 ft lbs, chances are I’m stepping up to 3/4” drive because of the bigger socket size.

There at the limit now. Even the dcf900 is tearing sockets up. Great for hobbyists/weekend warriors to brag to their mates but for proffesional users makes it nigh on useless - I'd rather not be replacing sockets every month.

NAWSSSSS!

As soon i saw the v-tec kick in and stuff jumping around i'm like...fuck my wallet

Biggest rip ever is the older SnapOn battery tools. They're toys compared to what Milwaukee was putting out at the time. But now it seems DeWalt is the name to beat. And yeah, the only bolt my M18 high torque couldn't handle was the infamous Honda crankshaft bolt. 😢 I wonder if my new dcf900 would handle?

@bluedistortions hard facts, lol. I destroyed the hammer on mine after about a year and a half of usage. Switched to DeWalt and never looked back. Yeah, I'm also curious whether these newer models could break a Honda crank bolt free. Would be a game changer!

It's not impressive if it destroys the sockets, in fact its useless. Time to go to 3/4"

@@deezelfairy If they don't release it in a 3/4 variant, I'd bet someone will make an aftermarket replacement to change it.

@@ohhhLuna Going from 1/2" to 3/4" doesn't sound as easy as going the opposite way. It'd be quite tricky to make the hole bigger to fit the bigger drive size i think.

​@@deezelfairy warranty is a beautiful thing

Yeah this thing on 60v would be nuts.

Maybe it's flexvolt capable? Can't wait for the more battery video they are going to do!

I mean something that big would only excel with 60v batteries.

Dcf923 was my first DeWalt tool ever purchased too (quickly followed by a DCF900)! just a few days ago, also thanks to TTC. Been team red for over 20 years, but really disappointed at their choices the past few years, and impressed more by DeWalt than anyone else on the market right now. If Milwaukee doesn't lose customers, they won't change. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Shhhhhhhhhh :P

We'll see what this guy can do with other batts and weigh in on that for you.

You're totally correct. We dont normally show it, but thought it might demonstrate the difference here in another way

Consider the M18 Pistol 1"

That's a good point

3/4 drive sets are really pricey, that would make sense. I have like 2 sockets... one for duramax half-shaft nuts and one for the duramax crank bolt.

I wish the US was metric trust me!

@@TorqueTestChannel meeeeeetriX! hehe its so much easier to deal with if one has to do math with them values ehh? most yanks dont even know that their sae scale is actually a metric value that gets converted via a conversion table to sae imperial value of inches :) Personally i use the tengtools chart if i need a conversion. some odd pipes and other round gear still uses sae here too

It already says XR on it tho

@@TorqueTestChannel can't we dream? Lol

​@Torque Test Channel maybe power detect then? We all just want more power. Like you! ;)

Ones with a lifetime warranty..

impact socket is all there is to it. like the guy said, with a lifetime warranty. DONT use shiny socket, they grenade on you with this level of violence

Id just stock up on some cheap impacts, like the HF or Husky when they come on sale. I suppose you could go with Sunex and see if they will warranty a worn out socket, but idk

@@coltonjacobs5383 If you plan on using impact sockets for the next 20-30 years, get some tool truck sockets. I'm still using a Snap-On impact socket set from '98!

At these forces, you'd be stupid not to get tool truck insta swap warranties. Mac or snappy.

Agreed. If a snap-on 550ftlb impact will strip lug studs, there's no need for more until going 3/4" drive or larger. Anyone who uses impacts on the daily will know.

I think is will he more specific for more heavy duty nuts and other heavy duty things

What the heck. I'd have taken out a loan to buy that deal if I had to. I paid $200 for a used bare tool DCF900.. and that was the best deal at the time. Their prices have jumped thanks to this channel.

@@bluedistortions lol I do understand. I was over in the clearance end cab of the same Home Depot that had the great deal on the DCF900 and they currently have 4 4 tool sets that include an XR drill, XR multi tool, XR recip saw, an atomic 1/4” driver, 2 4AH batteries, a charger, and a bag marked down from $599 to $399. However the last time I checked and indeed bought my 4 piece Milwaukee fuel set that was equally marked down, when I got to the register it rang up as an additional $75 cheaper still. So that $399 sticker might actually be cheaper.

6ah is best

Few more months

Cellphones and tablets. :)

This particular bolt combo is good up to around 1200--1250 on the gauge. Though does need to be changed out from wear occasionally. OTher bolts, it's not as much about bolt size. The thing is rusted in place much more solid than tightening it could ever get up to.

Not happy with my R86211. Died in 13months. Mostly used it for sedans and 1/2 ton truck lugnuts. Not easy dealing with the “Lifetime service Agreement” and 3yr warranty either.
