DeWalt DCF860 VS Milwaukee Gen 4 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaOomoaaf9eAjJY

[@default9740]

Try stripping down the 850, clean the speed switch with contact cleaner followed by compressed air. There’s a bit of grease used on assembly, add dust and grit to that, the contacts get bridged.

[@hammyzgod]

I've had my dcf850 a little over 2 years now, and it's been as solid as a rock, not a single issue with it and has been my no 1 impact go to since i brought it.

[@aaronkowalewski659]

I feel the same way! I absolutely love my DCF850. I have the Milwaukee Gen 4 2953 which is an animal but the Dewalt is my go to driver

[@vlad1889]

​@aaronkowalewski659 I've been torturing my gen 4 red for 6 years. It's all busted up, but it still works. Although, from what I heard and saw the new versions are not as reliable. Might wait for another update before switching.

[@hammyzgod]

@vlad1889 the gen 4 hasn't been out 6 years! What are you on about.

[@hammyzgod]

The gen 4 was released in 2022, the gen 3 came out in 2016.

[@wrefk]

I feel like impacts have hit a limit already a while ago, the 1/4 bits just cant handle the torque and break before the driver gets maxed out. Crazy improvement on that 860

[@nominalvelocity]

Agreed, they need a beefier shank standard for the next generation of drivers, 8mm would make a lot more sense for impacts this powerful. Hopefully the Japanese companies drive the standard so we get stuff like double sided bits and such.

[@aaronoconnor606]

​@@nominalvelocity that would make sense. I think that's why makita and hikoki don't build impact drivers that are as powerful as dewalt and milwaukee. Not really any point when the bits can't take the torque

[@Lee-lb9qh]

​@@nominalvelocitydon't need any of that, it's called a 3/8 or 1/2 impact wrench, get one!

[@SupposedlyShiny]

I’d really like a mid torque 7/16 hex

[@jaywelker5566]

I've never broken any of the T40 bits that come with a box of large torx screws. I've seen plenty of impact drivers that couldn't sink those screws though. The Milwaukee Gen 3/4 rarely struggled, and it's nice that Dewalt's going to finally try and leapfrog them.

[@86Sando]

I have a DCF850 and use it daily but only on speed 2 as speed 3 is too much juice. However that extra bright LED and 20min function would be awesome but I can’t justify spending $370 AUD just for a skin. Thanks for the comparison mate.

[@Mrjpk1971]

I've had my DCF860 for two weeks and yes it's a beast. It even makes my TD001G look under powerd

[@Dave-dh7rt]

I have had the TD002G for 2 years now, still runs like a champ. Love that its water resistant. Ive dropped it in buckets of water and its fine.

[@petro5]

Where’d you get it?

[@hosainparchment5692]

Where did you buy it?

[@user-km4jy7jl2b]

Good Detail Show !!~~~

[@default9740]

Tried the 860 side by side with a 922 wrench the other week. Nothing in it. Beast of a tool for the size!

[@cryptodojoau5425]

Just FFS! I have the 220nm Milwaukee. It has all the other impact drivers on site for breakfast! "Hey, I can't get the screw I just put in, in the wrong spot, out"! " Bring the Milwaukee over"! Now I have to have this!!!! F! 😂🤣😂

[@Dave-dh7rt]

Cant wait until makita releases the TD004G. Hopefully it has the ring light and is significantly more powerful.

[@dangray1310]

Nice video, thanks. Seems unfortunate about the 850's unreliability issues youve had. It's my daily use driver and mine has had no issues, same with the 887. I have had trigger issues on the 887 and the DCD796 drill, though, constant trigger pressure, but the RPM's will vary, must be a loose connection?

[@isaaccaris9530]

A new standard on impact driver.. 2024 is on history... other times was milwaukee in 2018 smaller and stronger. I just wanna see next video dewalt vs flex or milwaukee

[@kk83y]

I want to see it vs Makita 40v and vs Milwaukee

[@SamuelAguilar-pi4wi]

Thank for the video from ca, USA! & any advice on choosing the least problematic impact driver? I was thinking m18 gen 4 trash same with dewalt

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

_If you've seen my channel, you should know the answer..._

[@brianf9619]

About Freakin Time DeWalt ... Ive been waiting a Looong time for this , when they finally updated their Impact Wrenches I didn't think we would have to wait this long for a New PowerHouse Impact Driver , still hard for me to believe...😂🤣

[@AllodialTitle]

For bigger screws I use the dcf922, lighter jobs the dcf887.

[@aaronkowalewski659]

My DCF850 has been hands down the most rrliable driver ive ever owned. So im kinda shocked to see you having issues it.

[@maxjordan2625]

Weird to see the 850 trip up like that! I've had mine for a few years and beaten the shit out of it without so much as a hiccup!

[@dustinkrebs8229]

Compare to the milwaukee gen 4

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Will do

[@killer997s]

I’ve seen a comparison it loses against the gen 4

[@Offgridwilderness]

​@@killer997stake another look at this channel, the dewalt beats the gen 4 nearly every time. He just did the video

[@Agatonga]

.......since you BOUGHT it.

[@jmackinjersey1]

​@kyleostrowski2611 , TTC released the video amd the Milwaukee beats the DeWalt. Heck even the Ridgid beat the DeWalt when installing/tightening. However, the DeWalt beat the Milwaukee by 4 lbs torque on tightening. Not enough to worry about amd definitely not enough to throw my Milwaukee out and buy DeWalt. Also not enough to throw a huge parade either. These impacts are meant mostly for installing screws, not removing bolts/nuts.

[@PageMarker1]

DeWalt tools for wood, for all else go Team Red! Not so sure that holds water these days, if it ever did. For years, nothing beat Milwaukee on drills and impacts. As a DIY, Fuel 12v would probably more than suffice for me.

[@Sgten01]

860 vs gen3 Milwaukee is a must at some point.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

And surely gen 4

[@Sgten01]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL isn’t gen 3 more powerful than 4 for some odd reason?

[@gregorsamsa1364]

​@@Sgten01nope

[@Sgten01]

@@gregorsamsa1364 pretty sure i seen VCG test it and gen 3 came out on top. But regardless maybe both versions can be included vs 860. I got dewalt everything but was gonna buy gen 3 after using mates one. Will most likely grab 860 at fielddays in a few weeks.

[@gregorsamsa1364]

@Sgten01 gen 4 came out on top in their performance tests. But not by much, if I remember correctly

[@haydenjohnson1520]

My 850 also changes speed without switching modes. I use the screw mode to screw in the terminals on outlets and sometimes it’ll randomly switch to speed 3 and completely strip out the screw and sometimes the threading of the receptacle. If you bang it on the ground it switches to the mode you need… til you drop it Had it for a full year. Kinda disappointed as it’s my first impact and my journeyman’s impact is about 3 years older than mine and his works with no problem

[@hosainparchment5692]

Where can I buy this?

[@lamdog24]

I've seen videos of the new AEG and that's a beast! Curious to see how they compare.

[@carlmcdonald5864]

I don't use DeWalt but if I was to pick one of the three the 850 is to clear winner sizes King the smaller the better

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Except they are unreliable. When working properly they are a great little unit.

[@Johndeere60]

​@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL your the first I've heard of having this issue mabey it's more common but I know 6 diff guys that have them and no issues

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

A few people in the comments have the same issues. It is very common.

[@aussiehardwood6196]

Even with the bug 10" timberlock screw they ALL finished within under 3 seconds of each other. So even after screwing in hundreds of these screws u might save a few minute. 🤔 Either of these tools are perfectly suitable for their intended purpose.

[@derrickthd]

When you're working with a tool all day it makes a big difference. It's not just the time but the fatigue as well. Especially if you're doing them horizontal or at an angle where you can't put your weight into it. He's testing it in a very comfortable position. Try driving long bolts while on a tall ladder, laying on your side or above your head. A lot of work has to be done in awkward positions and that's where the small advantage is multiplied.

[@dave38x]

I have literally not once had an issue with a Dewalt 3 position switch in a tool that wasn't battered to hell in a decade.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

You got lucky.

[@Ender_Wiggin03]

Wish I could find one of these here in the USA, I'm still using the DCF787 that came with the Dewalt kit I bought couple years ago.

[@olivermaskell6244]

Im still running my old 886, just had to change the hammer and chuck etc once or twice, couldnt really notice anything that made the 887 or 850 worth buying. This might've convinced me to finally upgrade😂

[@robertdascoli949]

13:50 I have a feeling this will smoke the competition.

[@BigInjun05]

Put it up against flex's best with their lithium pouch.

[@robertcasey3528]

Bosch just released a new impact driver, they went from 210 Nm on the last one to 220 on the new version. They increase the power on each model by too small increments in my opinion.
