I just bought one of those. Also, those videos you point to don't show up for me. Might want to link them in the description.

[@802Garage]

6:24 It was at this moment, Vince FELT THE POWAH! Hey I think you guys should try out the Dewalt DCF894. It's only a mid range impact in terms of torque, but it has some pretty cool features. It has high and low torque settings, but also a smart mode. It stops when a fastener is finished, and slows down when loosening to prevent runaway. I'm planning to get one for automotive use, but seems it might be nifty for lag bolts or something like bolting joists together as well.

[@hridd1]

The DCF894 is great. It's small enough to get into a lot of tight spaces. I'm glad I went with it rather than the 899.

[@802Garage]

@@hridd1 The 899 seems a bit unnecessary for anything but working on big trucks or massive bolts for structures or something.

[@hridd1]

@@802Garage It is overkill for general automotive use but it would have been handy for a stubborn, rusted axle and axle nut I had to deal with. The 894 wasn't announced when I was looking at the 899 at the time.

I work as a service technician for a major dealership do you recommend for lugnuts etc

[@nick69453]

It ripped my lugs right off of my truck that were extremely over torqued

[@PAoutdooradventures]

We have 2 at work. Use them every day. Putting lug nuts on trailers, changing couplers. We use them in the pouring rain. So impressed I bought my own kobalt set and keep adding to it.

Im a diesel tech i use kobalts 24v stuff everyday and there 1/2 24v impact was able to take off semi lugnuts

[@danikkasleep86]

Thats because they under rated like Snap on. Noticed Snap on is rated 700.

[@mikesanders4621]

yeah that's what I was thinking when I bought mine...semi lugs are generally around 500 ft/lbs...I shouldn't have a problem with my dodge cummins lugs lol

[@paigebates4451]

I have this impact as well my dad and I tested how far it would go and it loosened bolts all the way up to 880 ft lbs after that it started struggling but I absolutely love this impact

[@ourfatherswar3464]

Bullshit son.

[@bobbycraig309]

I'm in the Ridgid line and the Ridgid impact wrench does everything I use it to do. But I do have a question...what's your opinion about the Ryobi 40 mowers and trimmers compared to the Kobalt 40 volt mowers and trimmers. I use a Cub Cadet riding mower so the 40 volt would only be for trimming when done using my rider....I value your opinion and Thanks!

[@VCGConstruction]

I’m sorry Bobby I have no experience with either!

[@bobbycraig309]

It's all good! I thought I'd ask because I am considering going electric with my trimming. I don't use any of my tools to make a living so it's just for home use

[@davidkoeppen3121]

kobalt gives you the option of a 40 or 80 volt mowing options. I owned a Ryobi 40 volt push mower and a weed eater/blower combo and it worked fine except I had a battery failure after just a few uses. I would be tempted to look into the 80 volt system also.

[@mikecohen7035]

I'm personally more loyal to Depot but I have a 12" Kobalt Compound Miter Saw. Normally I've gone higher end on my chop and compound miter saws (DeWalt/Mikita) but I can say it's been 2 years of heavy use and it's still kicking. Excellent video Vin.

[@michaeldavidmontalvo2402]

Just bought this set earlier this month for 120 from offer up. Ive let my brother, his friend, and my dad use it. They all compliment on how nice it feels and the power it has. Loving kobalt tools. Yes it's a bit heavy however it sure is durable and tough. Ithas taking a good amount of beating from the previous owner yet its still going very strong.👌😏 I feel that kobalt is most likely the best bang for your buck when it comes to Good quality tools.

[@BluetoothBlades]

Is there a video on the DeWALT midrange impact wrench that VCG has done...maybe a TTR?

[@GeorgeJFW]

How does this stack up to the DeWalt equivalent I am in the market for a cordless half inch impact not really sure what direction to go

[@chrisjones6165]

I love my Milwaukee gen 2 high torque, would def buy again if I needed another

[@special_k-hvac]

Depends what exactly you plan on doing with it I say buy the best you can afford. Milwaukee high torque is my first choice but dewalt tends to be a decent product. I haven't used any kobalt power tools only hand tools but being in several deals websites most people seem to like the just fine plus batteries are cheaper

[@philipjohn4149]

It's got to be Milwaukee 1 or 2 gen or dewalt both best deal when on sale.... sound like you need a kit. Think of what other cordless tools you want to expand on!

[@jeffscomp]

Dewalt is way better. The brushless Dewalt and the brushed one isn’t too bad either.

[@matthewsetzer5251]

Thanks brother. I just bought one of these to work on my car and replace ball joints. God bless in Jesus name.

[@ianundercover6295]

Lowes might continue pushing kobalt power tools, however its certain they are pushing out a lot of kobalt for craftsman as far as hand tools. Hopefully the power tools are safe but its something to look into before you invest in the line

Could be... slot have the switch in a spot that gets knocked in... or people forget to reverse when reassembly... now you will have time to release when you get conditioned to it!

I’m a technician and I use mine all day long and it holds its own haven’t had any issues and haven’t found a bolt it can’t take off. For the price of $200-$250 it’s a no brainer 5 year tool warranty 3 year battery warranty and option to add 2 year replacement plan warranty for another $30. Compare that to snap on cordless impact with a 2 year warranty for $780. I would pick a Kobalt any day.

Thanks Chris we can see about getting it in!!

[@willyjilly9684]

Hey guys love the videos! Quick question. Is there any videos on using smaller amp hour batteries with cordless impact wrenches and what the outcome is versus a larger output battery? I ask because kobalt says this impact wrench will work with all the 24V kobalt batteries. I currently have a kobalt driver that came with a 1.5 amp hour battery, but will it work in a larger impact wrench? I understand the lower amp hour battery would be lower output but how much, and would it damage the battery? I can't find any reviews showing a impact with different battery sizes. Thanks again for all the videos they are awesome!

[@aluisious]

I bought one of these just to loosen the 55mm nut on the rear axle of my Ducati. $180 tool saved me it's own price in the first visit to a mechanic I didn't have to go for. I do have an air compressor and impact wrench...in storage. Had to move from a garage to a carport, this tool is much handier for that situation.

[@KingofComputing]

This thing is amazing. I rounded off carriage bolts this thing is so powerful.

[@VCGConstruction]

[@richieb3407]

You need to test the

[@timsimmons9042]

Thing looks massive compared to other brand mid torques. TGIF and stay safe all.

[@Dirtracing141]

Compared to a Milwaukee 1/2inch impact at 15 pounds its great yes the torque isn’t there but don’t need that much torque anyway my Kobalt takes off rusted bolts with ease. I would much rather hold 7ibs then 15ibs

[@timsimmons9042]

Yes, I totally agree. My comment was mainly of its size and not weight as I have both the dewalt and Milwaukee fuel 1/2 “ mid torques. They are both smaller and lighter, approx 5.5 and 5 pounds with 5amp batteries respectively. The fuel is just slightly larger than my gen 3 impact and the dewalt is slightly bulkier than the fuel. I like them both and I’m yet to find something either haven’t handled easily enough as well. I agree with you as to what I’d rather hold and for basic home, auto and construction and the Milwaukee high torque is just big, heavy, and overkill. Cheers.
