Yeah it definitely did 1800

I don't need one but i somehow just bought one.... can't wait to change the tyres on my car lol

Either his hand was getting sore or he needs glasses because that 1800 ft lb nut was moving.

​@@tonyp6088 Right?! I may or may not have already had 3 impacts, including the 2767... But it just felt wrong to not include this beauty in the arsenal! Oh, I've rotated the tires on our two dailies twice now already, haha. Its why she hasn't killed me, yet!

Ill give it 1800 but that sounded terrible: does it count if it hurts the tool in the process?

Harborfreight ultra torqueBroke 2000lb and is cheaper watch the review 370$ For everything

​@@statikFredoIt's not cheaper

Not to mention the weight with those bigger batteries, thing is already heavy as it is

Man u gatta love it DeWalt hit some major homeruns 2022 and 2023 with some amazing tools and deals

The 9ah battery performs the best because Dewalt used the Panasonic NCR21700A extreme high output cells. Each cell is capable of 20 amps peak, so the 9ah battery with 3 banks of cells can put out 60 amps at 20 volts, or 1200 watts. The 5ah battery uses Samsung 25r cells that also put out 20 amps peak, but it only has 2 banks of cells for a maximum discharge current of 800 watts.

I agree I seen the same thing

Yes , I clearly saw it move too , Mabe he's secretly a Milwaukee Fan Boy .......🤣😂😅

I think the sheer vibration of the tool was making it difficult to hold and it was quiting time.

Agreed

On the new harbor freight impact video he hammers on that thang foreverrrrr trying to get it to get past 1300-1400ftlbs. If he would have gave this dewalt that much time i think it would have removed the 1800 and maby even started on the 1900

Yes, it most certainly did move. I suspect Tim's hands were getting hammered by the tool. I have one, and damn is it rough!

My dcf900 just sits in the tool box looking at it menacingly. DcF891 can handle all the tight stuff I run into. 80 percent of the time my dcf921 is about as high I’ll need to go. (I also have the dcf903 and 902.) Unless I’m removing Honda crankshaft bolts pulled out of an ocean floor… just don’t see that kind of torque. You run into this level of tightness often ?

@@juanc5149 yes! And i have a few videos of my dcf900 in action. Im an hd diesel truck an trailer mechanic. And depending on the fastener and amount of rust , it may take alot of work to get somthing free. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qpedm6aUnb6ypZs.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pp1nmpqlr5jLf5c.html Theres just 2 of the videos ive done running the 900

@@kennethturner8212 would have broken loose in 5-10 more seconds likely?????

That's a good deal. Thanks for watching.

@@Shoptoolreviews yes it absolutely is and you're welcome good sir!

Bought it in store with a single 5 ah and charger. Military and other discounts DO work.

@@ns_racing i wish i read ur comment sooner, id go to lowes, home depot were struggling in finding one at their stores, had to visit diff locations to find one, totally forgot about lowes

Amazon did to, just got mine in the mail. 5ah battery and charger $349

Wow just did the same thing on a 2010 TL. Man, I tried the mid torque (Dewalt dcf921) and nothing but the smell of it overheating. Shucks, had to tell my wife I could not get her car fixed unless I had one of these :) Went to the Depot, got it home and put a 5ah on it, took all but 3 seconds and that crank bolt was off! Car fixed, back on the road and I have a new Impact :)

​@@crankygrandpatech3894You tried a dcf921, the compact 5in one? Or did you mean a dcf891, the 7in midtorque?

@@connor3288 the 921. Was hoping the little guy would do it. But had to pony up $279 for the 900. Still cheaper than a mechanic to do the job. (How I sold it to the wife :) )

You should check out the video that we just dropped of the DeWalt DCF961 High Torque. It's the most power 1/2" impact we've ever tested. Thanks for watching.

Even though we showed that the Milwaukee couldn’t do it either? We’re not going to burn down an impact wrench and run it constant for a solid minute, just to show it removing a fastener. We like to show repeatable tests that would be somewhat common I typical work. Thanks for watching.

Ok it did move the 1800 and I think it would of loosen it. It didn’t start moving until the 11 or 12th second.

I think it started to break the 1800 faster than the 1700…. Yet he was very quick to stop and say NOPE lol. Kinda weird but atleast we all seen it happen!

What happen

It really does chew up the drive end of impact sockets! But its a hell of a tool!

We’ll definitely show the 5Ah power stack when we get it. Thanks for watching.

I have a good video on these batteries as well as videos putting this dcf900 through the ringer!

DIESEL DOES ROT AWAY THE RUBBER ON THESE BATTERIES OVER TIME UNFORTUNATELY

You're welcome! Thanks for watching.

It's definitely a beast. Thanks for watching.

@@Shoptoolreviews absolutely. I subscribed.

We will definitely continue to test impact wrenches. Thanks for watching.

In my garage the 900 is only used on lug nuts, frame bolts, and crank bolts. It's a beast. It will get the job done but it's heavy.

It's never really bothered me, if I can press the button once I can hold the button down, it's not like you need to study it, there's three lights all you really need is a quick press anyways

You way overpaid, any major brand 1/2", current version impact driver around $150 can take off any 19mm fastener. Even one heavily rusted on, it's only 19mm, rust itself can only have so much surface area on a mere 19mm fastener and some penetrant applied ahead of time. Even so, for axle nuts, or especially crankshaft nut, you will benefit and enjoy the extra torque. You should never try to use an impact driver (assuming 1/4" size) for lug nuts if you have a better option, because it will stress and eventually shear just about any 1/4" socket adapter out there, which is why most brands are already exceeding useful torque specs on their 1/4" offerings, and why they make 3/8" and 1/2", let alone larger drive size.

​@@stinkycheese804 I'll only have to buy it once, so I don't really care at that price point. Like my kitchen knives. Are there good knives for less? Sure. Would they have lasted the 15+ years I've had mine without reconditioning? Maybe. Why gamble on Maybe? Thanks for the tip about lugs. I only used the 1/4" impact driver to spin the lugs off once they've been broken loose - though I did try to break them loose once and only once. It's the 1/2" impact that actually can break a lug free.

@@WilliamCWayne Historically speaking, that does not seem accurate unless you have one foot in the grave. I've had multiple power tool lines over the years, because they changed battery chemistry and used a different battery format. I've rebuilt packs a few times, but ultimately I have several good, working tools that I don't care to keep building battery packs for, which (along with starting their brushless motor line) was one of my primary reasons to start building a Ryobi collection, that they have not changed the battery form factor in 15, maybe 20 years.

@@stinkycheese804 Sounds like either Ryobi is due for a change or your leading premise is flawed. I'm happy with the tool, and I'm happy with its value to me since it helped me save over $1000 on a job. It more than paid for itself, and all the other tools I had to buy. Why isn't that enough?

@@WilliamCWayne It's not that it isn't enough, rather you are trying to rationalize massive overkill as if it's a feature that isn't relevant to the task. Besides, it's nonsense, if all you had to do was remove a single crank bolt then all you needed to complete a single job like that was a longer breaker bar. Impact tools make no sense for a single use, rather for recurring use.

same kit was $200 at bomgaars

Man, I've been wondering the same thing for a while now. Almost to a point where it's getting frustrating watching these videos and no one, and I mean NO ONE tests each power level!! Why?? I don't get why none of these channels that accurately test the torque of each of these high-end tools wouldn't test the max torque of each power level?? Glad to see I'm not the only one that cares. Looks like we just need to do it ourselves! Wanna start a channel together?! "ALL Levels Of Torque" or "Power Level 1-3 Torque Test Channel". Haha

You should never be in that situation. There is not too much reverse torque but for installing fasteners, you always let off far ahead of time and finish with a torque wrench or by hand. There is no way to expect impact blows from a tool like this, to average in on a specific torque, especially when it depends on the socket length, mass, extensions used, specific battery and state of charge, etc. SO, testing for that would be kind of irrelevant and highly situation specific, not really worth the bother. At the same time, if a reviewer runs out of things to do and wants to throw their time away (which is the opposite of most YT channels trying to maximize profits), then I elect you to do this testing and post videos. ;) Kidding aside, I would watch them, more data is more good.

No doubt about that. Thanks for watching.

It’s a beast, that’s for sure.

If it’s a new 2767 it will likely break.

We've tested that in the past, but we can test with the new 6.0 and 8.0 batteries.

Torque test channel tested this impact against snap on , matco and the Milwaukee 2767 , It beat the 2767 by over 200ftlbs , and beat the snap on an matco.

I don't think we're interested in testing that. Thanks for watching.

It’ll max out 1050 to 1100 ft lbs.

@@juanc5149 I think it'll be a little more then that cause the mid torque did 1000 but I'd like to know. I don't think it'll be as strong as the Dewalt but for half the price that would still be great.

@@TOPNOTCHLAWN Ya. But in torque test channel. It only did 23 ft lbs more, best case scenario vs the dcf891. 643 ft lbs vs 620 ft lbs fastening. So add 3 percent more to 1000 and I got 1050 to 1100 ft lbs.

Yes, the video is made for experienced mechanics, not for most DIYs. I’d also like to know the answer to your question.

That's a great little impact, can't argue with that. Thanks for watching.

i have both :)

I had to get the big boy 900 man just no more second guessing!

@@bigpeezyweezy don't drop it on your foot! ☺️

Honda Crank bolt?

Let us know who wins. lol. Thanks for watching.

That's been a continually expanding project with thousands of dollars (literally) and days and days of work.

@@Shoptoolreviews I figured that this was the true reason of high torque test wrenches delay. Just finding the bolts that won’t get destroyed at these torque levels must of been hard. Although I have a sneaky suspicion that your hy torq precision torque fasteners make a significant chunk of the cost.

The harbor freight tool isn't even close to as powerful as the dewalt. I have used both. No comparison.

You may want to look a little closer. Those "red" tools also include Snap-on, SKIL, and Craftsman. Also on the wall are several from FLEX, Bosch, Makita, RYOBI, Ridgid, and many other brands. Many are getting their feelings hurt about whether or not the socket was moving on a fastener torqued to 1,800 ft-lbs. The reason we're not ultimately concerned about this is that we're far surpassing the use of a 1/2" impact wrench, regardless of the flavor. Furthermore, the impact wrench had to be fitted with a 20V/60V FlexVolt battery to make it even possible. We would have stopped with the 5Ah battery testing, but we knew that the KZfaq impact wrench army would swing their arms around their heads and yell foul if we didn't. We have to laugh at this because at the end of the day, we've put our best foot forward and we stand behind our testing methods. We know that we can't please everyone, and we know that everyone won't always trust us. It's ok that we disagree, and that can be a good thing. But to assume someone is a liar or shill just because you disagree with their outcome, that's a bit excessive. Perfection is what we strive for, but it's an unattainable goal that keeps us on track. If you don't trust us, then we hope you find someone that you do. Not trusting anyone can be a dark place. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@Shoptoolreviews I agree that at 1800 ft-lbs it is far surpassing the intended use of a 1/2 inch impact. That isn't what you said in your video though. I never said anything about your testing methods being inadequate. Simply stated what many others and myself witnessed. Had you said 'We are just going to stop the test here because we are beyond what anyone should be trying to do with a 1/2" impact' I would have simply agreed. I personally do not care about the bigger battery but I understand where you are coming from with the "KZfaq impact wrench army". If you are going to test it with that battery though then see the test through without stopping it with a comment contrary to what is being shown in the video.

DCB115

If you can not understand why then we can not help you any further my friend. 🤨

For him I'm sure it's because he's trying to show it on camera and it needs to be shown for more time than a "glance" and there's the issue of his finger in the way of the light. Having the light stay on makes his life easier while filming.

The anvil on the tool has very minimal wear. The sockets take the brunt of these tests. Contrary to what most think, impact sockets are a much softer steel than chrome sockets or impact anvils. The square of the sockets will start to mushroom out.

@@Shoptoolreviews Contrary to what who thinks? Most of us understand quite well, that the point of impact sockets is that they be softer, not brittle and prone to shatter and take your eye out. At the same time, mushrooming out is a good example of why a 1/2" drive tool should not have this much torque. 3/4" and 1" sockets are built for this, is why they exist. This kind of tool is mostly catering to idiots who just think "more power" without understanding what is needed to go along with that.

@Stinky Cheese Jesus. You act like he was directing this towards you personally. I've heard many guys think the impacts are a harder steel and heavier to deliver the energy directly to the nut more effectively. Heard it more than once from actual "mechanics" and online people who aren't aware. Having the Option is always better than not having the option. I for one am stoked dewalt makes it, I prefer the 891, but happy this is in the world

@@jcoopdo Personally? No that is a fault in your ego that I don't share. No, in fact the impacts are supposed to be a softer steel so they don't shatter as easily, but have to have more metal to compensate but it is not about more mass to deliver the energy, on the contrary more mass causes more energy loss but it beats cracking.

@Stinky Cheese your pretty slow aren't ya? I understand how it works. Not much ego in that. You are just one of those guys who feels like people are attacking him at all times for some reason and feel thr need to explain things. Stop. I know how it works, alot of others do as well, but also some don't. But that doesn't mean this video was talking directly to you. Here's an idea. Just watch the videos and have fun. Or don't.. but stop with the lame comments.
