Dewalt DCF860 New Flagship 1/4" Impact Driver Shocking Defect

[@MrBostonBilly]

If it's got a defect take it back get another, mine was fine and works fabulous getting another for the shop

[@Sunshone7311]

@@MrBostonBilly I don’t give a passes, Dewalt needs to tighten their QC.

[@georgedavall9449]

I agree, but I will say, good luck with returning anything to Acme Tools! They tried to fark me over one time, and that’s all it takes for me. And I will add, while I am glad to see tools made In ( other than China ) I have had QC issues with ones Made in Mexico. Not all, and I am not knocking Mexico, just speaking from experience.

I've bought 3 of these and they've all had that gap in the handle, casting..

mine came out of the box with the gap too!!! im so glad it wasnt just me lol its been driving me crazy

@@nickp3270 Glad to hear he wasn’t just me. It’s not right and Dewalt should recall them.

[@nickp3270]

​@@Sunshone7311 agreed obviously im not glad yours was messed up lol i just thought i got the only one like that also they should have put a specialized mode like dewalts precision mode on this impact because its impossible to use on any delicate work the milwaukee is able to do delicate work with the trigger alone

Mine was great did a live UNBOXING with it and i THINKING about Turning it into a 3/8 ANVIL in and getting another one just have to do my RESEARCH i get BORED FAST and it has CO$T me about $10.000 in Cordless power tools and OPE

[@georgedavall9449]

@ 07:56. While I applaud your ingenuity, and ideas, and think it might actually be a cool feature, but in the end, not easy to do, and not practical in the long run. Maybe You can come up with something, Patent it, and then make money off whomever brings it to the market? Hmmm… I like the newer style batteries, with the rubber moulding on them, but geesh DeWalt, would it kill ya to make a DAMN 4 segment, or even better, 5 segment battery check!?! The white lights are easy to see out in bright Sunlight, but the silly 3 segment is like DATED! Come on DeWalt !!!

[@dimammx]

Does anyone notice strong Epoxy like smell from the tool? No other dewalts i have smell like this. Only dcf860.

[@ZeroFallout1]

My only gripe with the tool is its price. Yes, it's faster than than Milwaukee but not worth the price hike. I'll stick with my dcf 850.

[@victorfeliciano6094]

over all what is yr best pick?

[@Sunshone7311]

For the price and quality, Milwaukee when it’s on sale. The Dewalt does feel beefier, time will tell. I hope they bring the price down.

[@minhdaubu2363]

A lot of people say It tends to automatically switch to lower speed mid way when driving large fastener. Can you test to see if it does that?

[@Sunshone7311]

Will do

[@THEBEARDEDTOOLGUY]

It down shifts into 2 speed but only under HEAVY LOAD I don't like the HEAT the 860 puts out when you really work it Hard

[@minhdaubu2363]

@@THEBEARDEDTOOLGUY if the that’s not in the spec and not intended by Dewalt then that’s defect.

[@georgedavall9449]

Return it, Simple as that, but good luck dealing with Acme!

[@gdu370]

tighten the screws

[@Sunshone7311]

Screws are tight, it’s a casting issue.

[@Sunshone7311]

I have a follow up fix to the issue. Check my videos, it’s a short

[@deluxepressure]

A lot of bitching and moaning need more lights more light, oh batteries so heavy. But I need more power. I’m not even a Dewalt fan if it was made in America, it would’ve been even more expensive because somebody has to pay for employee insurance! That’s why I stick with my Milwaukee, precise and compact

[@33kingmajor16]

Heavier? It’s like 3 pounds ? 🐱

[@Sunshone7311]

When competing, you want to match or better your competition. It’s heavier and the balance is too heavy.

[@Sunshone7311]

*top heavy

[@slingin_tires]

That doesn't qualify as a defect

[@Sunshone7311]

Name me one Dewalt tool that does that. I’ve never seen it and it’s most certainly a manufacturing defect.

[@slingin_tires]

@@Sunshone7311 I mean it certainly doesn't affect the performance at all

[@Sunshone7311]

@@slingin_tires ​​⁠It’s a $200 tool, this isn’t from Harbor Freight. You pay more so you don’t get things like this. I would like Dewalt to see this video.
