Great idea for a video

No reason to disassemble, just "accidentally" drop your impact into your oil collection bin! All kidding aside I assumed my 10 year old Dewalt hammer drill needed a new trigger switch OR a new motor, but for one last go I sprayed CRC electric contact cleaner into the trigger switch mechanism (without disassembling anything nor removing any screws) and that solved the problem entirely. I was having issues not achieving 100% throttle rather than having an issue with the switch not working at all. Occasionally the drill would "ramp up" to full throttle even when squeezing fully but it was very intermittent and most times it seemed to be stuck with a maximum throttle less than full throttle.

I think maybe that's something AvE would be better at.

@@Guillotines_For_Globalists the contacts in the trigger get dirty or worn, or both. I used some brake cleaner and some compressed air on my Milwaukee mid torque and it solved the trigger issue i was having. I ended up taking it apart anyway because i was curious and manually cleaned them and it still works great.

@@SammyM00782 I disagree. By the amount of people who like and think this is a good idea, if TTC want to they should.

That's good lol

Eating a bowl of chocolate frosted sugar bombs while watching TV would be better than anything! Well, almost anything.

Ditto this!

exactly why i watch it. 😄

Wdym I buy Dewalt tools and use them every day in the shop. Air tools are old news.

@@markm0000 do you have the new dewalt dcf900? That thing is a monster. But to be honest I probably would rarely use it, believe it or not my tiny little dcf923 atomic is strong enough to take off lugs, caliper bolts, shock bolts and so on. That little thing is incredible

@@markm0000 I keep trying to think of an excuse to replace my paid-for-years-ago air tools with battery tools and so far just can't justify it for the amount of work I do these days (rotate tires a few times a year, etc..), but battery tools sure would be nice!

@@8180634 , I have battery tools, but I also have various air tools. I can't justify the cost of going "all" battery tools & replacement batteries, knowing that I have a good functioning air compressor to work with.

You have to be careful with that recommendation. In past years multiple manufacturers had license to make power tools under the Craftsman brand. No, they are not interchangeable. These rebranded Dewalt look good, but there needs to be a bit of research before purchase.

@@randomusermaximuss Was that before Stanley bought the Craftsman name? Seems to me that with Stanley owning them not they wouldn’t want other brands making Craftsman tools.

I think Craftsman had SBD make their power tools for a while before they bought the craftsman brand. At the end, all craftsman was was a brand name.

@@2down4up correct.

Craftsman IS good stuff.

The 20v trimmer is good too

Because Stanley B&D (the parent company) discontinued Pörter-Kable, refashioned it in new plastics and started calling it Craftsman, replacing the previous Crapsman. PC has never been worse than higher-mid range despite the old name being absolutely premium

@@Surmoka I have an old poster cable circular saw and hammer drill. They are beasts

@@Surmoka Sorry to burst your bubble but you are wrong. How is Porter Cable introducing new tools if they are discontinued? They are not

@@ns_racing is Porter Cable introducing new tools? Where?

Interesting idea ☺️💡🤔🤓🧐

I was waiting for this as well.

More pixies

@@wobblysauce That's how we like it 👍

My Milwaukee has a trigger delay oh wait…

The DeLay has gotta be really annoying. I dunno if I could live with it for too long

@@georgef1176 my Milwaukee has a delay as well

@kchilz32 my grandpas old dewalt set has a slight delay on the drill and impact, but they are close to 7 years old, so I don't know if it's fixed or not. Haven't bought any power tools till now

@@georgef1176 cool story man.

A surprising amount of brands use proper nylon on the tools then use ABS or ABS+Poloycarbonate on the batteries themselves. And yet what's the most expensive component? Buying batteries. It's silly

@@TorqueTestChannel I'm sure it's by design. Engineered failure and planned obsolescence, and all that.

@@TorqueTestChannel Not silly. Greedy. It puts more money in their pocket since people are frequently reluctant to switch battery platforms. They will buy more of the same before buying different brand tools + batteries.

That's the main reason I switched from dewalt to Milwaukee. Dewalts tools are great, but you drop the batteries once and the case shatters. Milwaukees batteries hold up better in a shop environment.

@@bigkenny93 Milwaukee are really the only tools I've had issues with, one of those being battery cases. Split one open extremely easy, but warranty saved the day.

But its not the brushless set

Not brushless but really good deal nevertheless

Solid state caps last longer. Generally about 10 years or longer depending on the model of the cap. I see this as an bonus as it seems the electronics is sealed up on a board there, which isn't good for repair-ability, it will at least allow the tool to last longer before the part gives out.

We need to be careful planning where we're pointing it for that, don't want to permanently alter the globe's rotational speed

@@TorqueTestChannel lol oh man . Just gotta warn everyone in advance to prepare and brace themselves !

@@TorqueTestChannel I would really love to see the craftsman 6ah and 9ah battery with this tool on the dyno.

@ttc would 2nd the recommendation of using the 9ah FV packs in the DCF900 & even the 891

@@ckcuev I’d like to see this tool with dewalt’s 21700 cell packs and vice versa.

My Lowe’s had it on sale for 179$ and I bought it

179 amazon

Just grab yourself a cheap adapter from Amazon and a 21700 battery. I’m on the dewalt platform but needed a portable soldering iron and craftsman has it.

Is this available in non-RP? I’ve noticed that Amazon still sells a lot of the old brushless tools that still have the same design and specs but were replaced by RP.

@@MoneyManHolmes It's a new tool, so never existed in non RP

Feel exactly tge same on all those points!

I agree as well. They do it in cars too. When the new flagship models arrive. The trickle down to the lower trimmed models save money. All you need to do is refresh the cosmetics. Like how the newest Nissan Altima always takes cues from last years Maxima. It’s a shame Craftsman doesn’t shift their brushed drills and impacts to DeWalt’s from PC. At least then you could rebuild them.

Not very pleased if forking out couple hundred bucks for something near junk.

@@reccocon3442 not one single DeWalt clone has failed me yet. All the PC clones are the ones to avoid. The only bad thing about the High Torque is it doesn’t have a bare tool option.

It will be cheaper SBD stuff cause that's who owns them

I'm so jelly!

Same here! Been beating on it for about a month. It absolutely kills everything els in the shop up to the Milwaukee 1in drive extended anvil w/12ah pack. It may not beat it in reverse but anything that big 1in m18 hammers on the dewalt will rip off. And any of the impacts smaller than the 1in m18 it beats in forward an reverse. Id really like to see ttc test it out with the 9ah pack. I really think its a better battery than the 15ah due to the cells and discharge rates. And well its not 187lbs lol

I'm curious about that too

I think it would, the flex volt batteries have a different mount than the standard 6amp hr

The 6.0 battery really wakes up the Craftsman tools. I would love to see a comparison to the 4.0.

@@MoneyManHolmes I know my mid torque definitely makes more with a 9.0 than a 4.0 but I wanna see just how much compared to a 4 or 6 amp. I wasn’t able to remove some lug nuts with a 4.0 that I previously put on with a 9.0.

@@MoneyManHolmes the 9.0 really wakes it up. And on any v20 tool. Even on the V20 tire inflator, and portable shop vac, you can tell there’s pretty decent difference.

Im willing to send in mine too. You can tell a pretty decent difference in any of my V20 tools, with 9ah vs 4ah, even the tire inflator, and portable shop vac.

My 899 is still going everyday shop use 4 1/2 years, recently replaced battery. It does 99% of everything, that last 1% I bring out the Ingersoll Rand 2235 I keep in the bottom drawer

@@fakenamejones4254 If the performance of the 899 is plenty for you (as most people), you don't need the new dcf900, you need the dcf891. Similar power but much lighter and smaller.

Ill keep my black and Yellow

@@ChippyTheBard Yellow spray paint is pretty cheap as well

@@corystansbury 👀 you’re thinkin on different levels Mr Stansbury

Nearly all products these days. Although I recently found a US manufacturer that makes tons of car parts in the US for the big 3 Car Co's...like they own Delco Remy etc

Thats a sign of a tight or non lubed anvil bushing or the motor being clocked wierd and needed to be aligned like seated fully

I thought I'm the only one that have this problem but mines is from my DCF923B, I already return 2 and I'm on my third one lol,

@@TorqueTestChannel I took the nose cone off and the anvil was super tight like wouldn't spin inside the bushing by itself, no gears attached until I used pliers to free it. Would polishing the anvil help at all or is it chalked and should exchange it? Thanks for the reply though I super appreciate it!

I had the same issue with an impact driver on first use. It even let out some smoke. I immediately thought I would have to return it dead but after it cooled I tried it out the next day and it's been running strong since. That was about 10 years ago. I use it weekly and sometimes for weeks on end

@@jbatterden no it was impacting like I was trying to remove a bolt tightened at 1000 ft/lbs then it froze made some weird electronic noises then went back to normal. Been fine since

We're gathering equipment for that at the moment
