Dewalt DCF 961 vs Milwaukee 3/4 RPMS

[@centroamericasvr3199]

You have to use a power stack battery to increase its power in Dewalt and drop the 1,750 pounds of torque

[@cloudy4872]

Best battery for a large tool like that is the 9ah flex volt. Powerstack is too small for the amount of amps this thing’s motor asks for.

[@mikekahotea8148]

​@@cloudy4872 yup for sure

[@mgeldy7153]

Power stack will produce almost the same as the 9ah. Only around 40lbs more. And that’s with both batteries doing over a 1000ft lbs.

[@THEBEARDEDTOOLGUY]

​@@cloudy4872Yes and I have 961 and all the DEWALT 1.7 and 5 AMP POWER STACK and the FLEX VOLT 9 AMP 21700 Cells and have just ordered the new 8 AMP POWER PACK 21700 cells and TABLESS CELLS

[@brandon2076]

You've got what looks like a half dead 5ah battery on that Dewalt and it sounds like it too, needs at least a 6ah XR with the 21700 cells or the 9ah flexvolt battery, both of which are Dewalt's top performers.

[@dustinpike779]

Or now the newer 5ah powerstack or 8ah powerpack.

[@mikerayle6103]

3/4 drive has entered the chat. Some bolts need the next step up these impacts are ridiculous these days but your not going to loosen everything. A rusty crusty hitch nut for example.

[@merica-lr1xt]

That milwaukee is a 3/4

[@mikerayle6103]

Whoops missed that. What I actually meant was 3/4 ratchet with 4 foot handle. As those impacts clearly don't have enough power. The Milwaukee seems to move it a tiny bit at the end though.

[@merica-lr1xt]

@mikerayle6103 this also seems like military equipment they are working on so they should actually be using a 1 inch drive

[@jordanalexander615]

I have to pull out a three foot pipe wrench to change my hitch usually. I even grease it but road grime just doesn't care.

[@jordanalexander615]

​@@merica-lr1xtmost military equipment doesn't require giant tools to work on at least a field repair type scenario. But a major component yes. Most likely that bolt head will break without heat being thrown at it. The DeWalt can put out numbers of a 3/4 and then some

[@GADA_and_Deathroll]

That’s the frame extension for an Aerial compressor depending on the model that some heavy torque (500ft lbs +). Plus the fact that Loctite 515 always seeps into the bolt holes you can do it with a half 1/2 impact, but you’ll be there for a while and it will be needing a rest between each bolt

[@jaimegarza8071]

They’re the spacer bars for the frame torqued at 580ftlb , we oil them, I originally posted this video to hear the difference in RPMs, In the end I ended up switching to Milwaukee , wish I coulda got a better video but we were doing a overhaul

[@jaimegarza8071]

We ended up putting the hammer wrench , we retorqued them to 580 and the dewalt still wouldn’t budge, thinking its a bad impact

[@justinschoen]

Just from the sound of the impact when it’s running makes me think it’s defective, my matco 1/2 and Milwaukee 1/2 high torques sound nothing like that.

[@Callofdutyjoey]

@@jaimegarza8071the Milwaukee should have had that bolt easy, get the new gen 2 m12 stubby impact wrench and it should rip that bolt off to hell.

[@jordanalexander615]

In case everyone doesn't know. The DCF961 has a built on feature were the impact hits with about half its power for the first five seconds then doubles it after that. Its wierd but thats how it is.

[@kendrickmarcano4683]

Bro I have that same exact gun I thought it would keep up with heavier repairs but it wouldn’t even take off fly wheel bolts I was so pissed

[@Tcorellis-j6d]

Assuming it’s not on there with a stupid amount of torque I would of grabbed a 40” breaker bar and just got it loose it’s not in a bad spot to try it

[@Bolonyman]

Especially considering the interesting power ramp up the 961 sees after 5 seconds. Also, slap a fresh flexvolt battery on there.

[@connor3288]

@@jaimegarza8071 I just thought, are you using a drive adaptor on dcf961 to use a 3/4 drive socket? That robs a bunch of torque, torque test channel has video on testing the losses with different drive adaptors. The other factor is in real world, sometimes some bolts will have been tightened by previous guy more than other bolts, or be more corroded than others.

[@edwardoavila7666]

Dewalt should be making a 3/4” version of the 961, it’s quite stout.

[@jaredharker3886]

Use 9ah flex volt and hold the 961 still. It is 1/2 anvil so alot of its power is transmitted back to the gun in rattle. also wait past 4 secconds for its vteck, usually it takes me 4 secconds of vteck to take off semi trailer lugs put on by millwakes biggest impact wrench. I don't recommend 5ah powerstack because it is not big enough to supply the voltage for maximum vteck capabilities.

[@RunninGunner04]

Dewalt needs to make a 3/4 version 961, it would run way smoother, my 1/2 drive is crazy powerful but sometimes it just doesn’t transmit the power the way it should

[@james10739]

I think there is something wrong with your Dewalt my Milwaukee has a seemingly similar problem it works most of the time but when things are rel tight it just bounces around more than normal but doesn't do much to loosen im told its a bad bearing but i haven't hopend it up yet

[@greapsoho]

From watching torque test channel i learned that they keep building torque for usually around 12-15 seconds. It might help it might not but you only held them on there for about ¾ of their power band.you only held the dewalt on there for 3 seconds after it went into its "overdrive" mode.
