Something Weird is Going On Inside Craftsman's New High Torque Impact Wrench

[@Averna222]

I'm not sure if it would work well, but a video on general disassembly of cordless impacts, how to clean, regrease, what kind of grease to use, things to watch for, etc, would be extremely helpful. This is one of the few channels I would fully trust on the subject.

[@MrZimmaframe]

Great idea for a video

[@Guillotines_For_Globalists]

No reason to disassemble, just "accidentally" drop your impact into your oil collection bin! All kidding aside I assumed my 10 year old Dewalt hammer drill needed a new trigger switch OR a new motor, but for one last go I sprayed CRC electric contact cleaner into the trigger switch mechanism (without disassembling anything nor removing any screws) and that solved the problem entirely. I was having issues not achieving 100% throttle rather than having an issue with the switch not working at all. Occasionally the drill would "ramp up" to full throttle even when squeezing fully but it was very intermittent and most times it seemed to be stuck with a maximum throttle less than full throttle.

[@SammyM00782]

I think maybe that's something AvE would be better at.

[@MrZimmaframe]

@@Guillotines_For_Globalists the contacts in the trigger get dirty or worn, or both. I used some brake cleaner and some compressed air on my Milwaukee mid torque and it solved the trigger issue i was having. I ended up taking it apart anyway because i was curious and manually cleaned them and it still works great.

On the board they switch the electrolytics to solid-state caps. Although what usually blows up on power tools are the MOSFETs.

[@MrMega200]

Solid state caps last longer. Generally about 10 years or longer depending on the model of the cap. I see this as an bonus as it seems the electronics is sealed up on a board there, which isn't good for repair-ability, it will at least allow the tool to last longer before the part gives out.

The stamps on the hammer are likely position numbers for a line producing multiples at once.

Another great video. I work on cars on the side. This impact has plenty of power for most people and good to see craftsman putting up better stuff. Even if it's more comparable to an older model of a better brand, does it really matter? They can do well with the cheaper prices. One big thing for me isn't just the impact wrench, but the other tools in the lineup. For example right angle impacts are cool along with ratchets. I'd love to see craftsman have a lineup with those that are just a cheaper version of milwaukee. In terms of the right angle impact, I think the only options are kobalt/milwaukee.

wow! great comparison. I started to use Craftsman tools after many of my Harbor F. tools were too bit up and falling apart. the Craftsman RP series are great!

[@PaulAngileri]

What’s happening here from a tool build perspective is the Craftsman has a few slightly lower grade/lower MTBF parts but is 95% identical. That way Stanley/B&D can spend R&D making one tool and make minute changes for different brands for much less than the cost difference they sell each brand’s tool for. Meanwhile Craftsman buyers can say they get the same tool for less, and Stanley/B&D can make money+ on DeWalt buyers. I think the main difference between the two brand’s few unique parts is going to be the DeWalt will last longer and have more consistent power delivery/battery life, whereas the Craftsman will be more apt to shine bright up front and fade over time.

As some comments mentioned. The number of windings determines the strength of the magnetic field. The more windings, the stronger the field. The number of poles determines the speed of the motor. The number of windings on the poles, the voltage, and the number of phases, determines the strength (HP & torque) of the motor. If you have a specific area where the windings go dimensionally , wire size, how many wire turns all matter to the output .

[@graealex]

Though-hole components get also pick-and-placed, well, at least if the whole board is designed that way. But yes, it's more expensive, as the soldering also needs to be an additional process, so it ends up costing more. Particularly if you mix SMT and through-hole. And if it's only a few components that are through-hole, then it's probably done manually after all SMDs have been reflowed.

Shot I got some craftsman batteries..... Guess I'll keep an eye out for the clearance deal this black Friday

[@toyotatundra0455]

Can you compare the 3/8 Cratsman to the Dewalt? I bought the 3/8 Craftsman after watching your video a few months ago. It's been great for all of my DIY jobs. Thanks.

The impact driver game is changing 🇯🇲🇯🇲✍️

[@user-xu3yq5pb9f]

Will you Try the new Hercules cordless impact wrench torque test I really want to see how it does!!!

[@pellabandgeek]

PLEASE test some Masterforce (Menards brand) tools for those of us in the Midwest. I've got several of their drills/drivers and would buy an impact if I knew it was any good.

SMD LEDs are actually cheaper than the bulb versions because they can be automatically placed and soldered very cheaply. That's actually a win for the Craftsman

[@TorqueTestChannel]

But the smd works so much better

[@WoLpH]

@@TorqueTestChannel It's a very weird choice in that case... perhaps they still had them on a shelf somewhere. Bulb LEDs can be much more powerful due to better lenses

[@Harvz78]

Anybody know where to buy the rubber protective boot for the Dewalt and for the battery?

[@emmettturner9452]

Well, I just ordered a broken DeWALT DCF899 and a used Craftsman CMCF940. How “used” can the Craftsman tool be when the tool is only a few months old? Anyway, the DeWALT looks like it was chiseled out of concrete and really needs a new housing! I see them cheap but I’m really not saving anything unless I can get them both working. If I can’t get them both working I’ll see if I can wire DeWALT battery terminals and transfer the Craftsman guts into a new DeWALT DCF899 housing (surprisingly affordable). This could be fun. ;)

10:00 so what your saying is buy both and swap the parts, then return the crappy one.

[@jeeper3220]

I’m just curious if you plan on reviewing the flex with its new stacked lithium battery claiming 200% more power

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

You forgot to add the graph showing hoe much better the DCF899 did with the 9ah flexvolt battery @Torque Test Channel

[@TorqueTestChannel]

Was indicating at the number the tool was making on the dyno

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

@@TorqueTestChannel oh Okay Makes Sense Now I thought you were refering to a graph you forgot to put on screen maybe I miss understood the way you said it my bad

[@cyberman2294]

Quick search this tools came from the same company but from different branches. Same thing that ISC/Einhell does it or TTI.

[@hardtymz2517]

Well Dewalt just kinda sucks these days. I honestly haven't seen someone use a Dewalt anything out in the wild since 2011-ish. That speaks volumes and rings true.

Excellent presentation, thank you!
