NEW!! Milwaukee 2960-20 Vs. Dewalt DCF894 (Impact Wrenches)

Putting the second screw in right next to the first is a big advantage to Milwaukee. Your wooden stump will split between the holes.

[@bennyboyy7]

I would estimate torque loss by 10 ft-lbs per inch on an adapter or extension. An adapter like that is probably only losing 5 ft-lbs at most

[@whatusername1234]

Today September 1st 2021, the Milwaukee mid torque + 5ah battery is selling for (219 +tax at home depot). [The dewalt mid torque + tool bag + 5ah + 3/8 dcf890 150 ft/lb impact wrench + charger dcb107 ] is selling for 250 +tax at Lowe's...

[@tylersmith7415]

Coming from a maintenance field, I do use my Milwaukee m18 Mid torque a lot, I have the standard fuel model 2860, thing is a beast. And no issue in tight spaces. Personally the only thing I use auto mode for is putting something in quick. But with the variable trigger any mode ca do that too if you have the feel for it. I personally have used the DEWALT and perfect the hog ring vs pin detention. Also yes using an adapter. Even the shallow one will result in some torque loss, might be less but it will reduce the torque.

gotta love impact wrenches and I thank you again for your feedback Tyler :)

@@ManCaverTools what is the purpose of doing these tests if that is your attitude about the results? I dont mean to be a dick, but you really come off as clueless sometimes. Take this as constructive criticism, but every time i accidentally end up on one of your videos i get the feeling that people only watch these because they enjoy the pretty colors in the intro. Your content has no real substance. You put in a couple of screws on a timer and talk about how good it feels in your hand, and when you attempt to actually take them apart, you look clueless, like a bootlegged cross between Ave and Project Farms, who never uses one of his pristine tools outside of a video.

[@deepspaceproductions6419]

I am a huge fan of both Dewalt and Milwaukee brands. I have a huge Dewalt collection of tools in the 18v to 54v range and a couple in the 10v range. My Milwaukee collection is all in the 12V range and I love their smaller tool systems, especially their soldering iron. They have a great lower voltage range that Dewalt simply don't manufacture. One of the big benefits of Dewalt is their flexvolt range... never liked the 18v circular saws in any brand but the 54/60v Flexvolt range is a different beast altogether! Be it Saws, grinders, table saws, blowers, whipper snipper .... just awesome. I guess my only beef with your video is that you are wearing a Milwaukee jacket (don't get me wrong here.... I have several from wind cheater heated to work jacket heated but also have a Dewalt Jacket that is twice as warm .... have not even needed to use the battery heating power function!.....) and you are also wearing the Milwaukee gloves. Mate, if you are going to do a video, selling us on your credentials that you are open to any results regardless of brand, please don't wear branded clothing that "happens" to coincide with the winning tool brand on the specific test you are doing. In Australia, we call that a crapola moment!!!!! ...... credibility out the proverbial window and back down shit creek! Sorry but the small and big shit all matters!!!

The one thing I have learned is when your testing the speed of these impact drivers with the same battery out put is like testing the quickness of 2 similar vehicle's with the same horse power but one has 3:11 in the rear end and the other has 5:28 of course the one with 3:11 gears will be quicker using the same horse power.

[@olgajoachimosmundsen4647]

I think overall that your test was fair, and I assumed from the start that the Milwaukee was more powerful, as the hammer-housing looks bigger. For the sake of variation you should consider driving fasteners into material with less variables like plywood or osb. You could make a sandwich to increase the thickness. I have the DCF894, and have still not figured out if I'm content with it. I've used it on several cars, and have experienced that it has not had enough torque to loosen the wheel-nuts, along with other bolts too that should be within the range. When it did not have enough torque it was just barely too weak. I've used it both with 6ah flex and 5ah. When it comes to especially impact drivers I am skeptical about torque-ratings. It seems to always be less then what it is advertised for. Another thing with torque is how long it takes to reach it. I have torqued my Bosch GDX-200 impact driver to 205 nm, but I was putting down torque over like 10 seconds. If it takes 10 seconds to reach promised torque, I'd say the real torque more like 150-170.

[@ManCaverTools]

im trying to make a extreme test with bolts and nuts.

[@andybub45]

You probably aren't doing something right. This should easily be able to loosen lug nuts. Or you have a lemon.

In my opinion comparison or test videos should not be done using adapter sockets period. There is torque loss and especially when you had them double stacked. The dewalt had the advantage but the Milwaukee still outdid it but it was at a disadvantage with the adapter. I would either get the correct socket or not do the testing at all.

[@Dale37]

These tests aren't even that close, so the adapter isn't even a concern. If both tools shown were running into situations where the results were a near tie then I say redo with a proper half inch drive anvil on the Milwaukee.

[@johnargumaniz9179]

@@Dale37 the fact that I stated that the Milwaukee was at a disadvantage yet still came out on top leaves your comment irrelevant. What I was getting at is that tests shouldn’t be done with equipment that lessens the power of the tool

Adapter loss power so your not comparing apples to apples that is like some of the people using a special Shallow socket to con pair tools use the sockets to get a good comparison

I am pretty sure the Dewalt 6.0 Flexvolt battery uses 15 - 18650 cells. The 9.0 and 12.0 use the 21700s. The 6.0 and 8.0 XR battery uses the 21700 also.

[@ManCaverTools]

The flexvolt 6ah advantage battery has 21700 cells in it. The regular 6ah flexvolt batteries have 18650 cells

@@Dale37 Well, not even an hour later, this channel made a live video and opened the battery. And it was indeed 18650 cells.

As stated already, these big lags split wood. So drilling directly next to the first bolt or even hole on this well abused log is an advantage. You should have drilled in a completely fresh log and away from each other. Good video otherwise though.

That Milwaukee is my new favorite. GIVEAWAY winner already picked it 🙂

[@ManCaverTools]

it is a little beast and I thank you for viewing Mastering

[@tobywolf8639]

The socket adapter on the Milwaukee is robbing some torque. Insight for next videos I guess

[@ManCaverTools]

but yet its still won by a long shot so I think its ok

[@anoldocastro4792]

I have mid Range DeWalt good power

[@BigBear--]

I’m confused where you got the specs for the Dewalt. Dewalt advertises that 1/2” impact at 330 Ft-Lbs of Max fastening torque. They don’t provide a reverse torque spec. So where did you get the 600 Ft-Lb rating from?

[@Meme-zc4cw]

600 is the max breakaway torque.

[@BigBear--]

Where did you get that spec? That was my question. It’s not in any of Dewalts materials that I can find.

[@Meme-zc4cw]

@@BigBear-- Well, I have the impact wrench, ane its on the Home Depot app. The 600 is the breakaway rating.

[@garethpowell8259]

Why aren’t you using impact sockets? All the gear no idea.

[@ManCaverTools]

I have that one socket as impact rated now with the proper size for the anvil so I dont need to use an extension

[@damonluvisi]

If you had one impact, for the mid torque would you go with 1/2” or 3/8”?

[@ManCaverTools]

I would go with 1/2 in im not a fan of 3/8 in

[@ManCaverTools]

and I thank you for viewing Damon

[@justinmartin8887]

As a heavy truck mechanic, I would highly recommend a m18 1/2 mid torque and m12 3/8 stubby. For very high duty cycle jobs, I would recommend a ingersoll rand 2235 air impact, if air isn’t an option the 1500 ft lb ingersoll cordless

Hi bro , dcf894 vs M12 stubby can u recommend the best

I will do a video on that one

both good.

Yes they are Chis :)

Hi bro, how about circular saw reviews..?if its ok..

I do have a few out there already.

@@ManCaverTools yeah..just saw it last night some of the videos..thanks bro..

[@tomboyle2776]

Great video as usual!!! Most of my guys use Dewalt and swear by them. 887 impact seems to get way too hot. Thinking of switching to Miliwalkee.. hopefully fixed the collet problem. Different types of impact from the wrench but a good tool is a good tool 🍻🍻keep up the great work brother 👍👍

[@ManCaverTools]

I thank you Tom and more test videos are coming

[@omarhaidar5403]

don't use chrome sockets with impact wrenches ..

im looking for the impact rated socket for that size. to fit on a 1/2 anvil

heck yea he is

Can someone tell me who he is? You guys got me curious who this awesome guy is😂

Anybody got news if a new m12 stubby is coming out ?

What size socket was that in the beginning?

1 1/2, I need to get a impact rated one
