TEMU vs Modded DeWALT, Amazon & Metabo Impact Wrenches

Our lifetime of TOOL RANKINGS are updated every week: torquetestchan...
DeWalt DCF961: amzn.to/3NsKfjL 3/4" Anvil: amzn.to/3v1Whu0
The Humdinger: www.temu.com/1...
How good is the new Metabo SSW 18 LTX 1750 BL? Can it beat a DeWALT DCF961 with an anvil swapped to 3/4" to match the upcoming DCF964? We find out today by buying it as well as two no name hopefuls from Temu and Amazon to see what the 3/4" scene looks like these days.
As always, the creator of this channel works in product development for Astro Tools, who also make 3/4' impacts (air), always consider multiple sources when looking at a tool!

[@TorqueTestChannel]

The Harbor Freight Hercules 3/4" looks to have come out around a day ago. Our store doesn't have one yet, but we'll have to pick one up to compare! In general these episodes usually take around 2 weeks or more to make - so anything that comes out a couple days before will have a hard time making the cut. Suggest others to compare!

[@DustbowlMic]

It would be cool to see how the Ingersoll Rand W7172-K22 $427.99 tool only, snap-on CT9100DB 627.95 tool only But something i think it would be interesting to see what the $80 home depot XtremepowerUS Model#: 18855-H1 could actually do! Claiming Output torque: 5800 NM and Approx. 4275 ft./lbs. I think i know the answer to this but, Is there any way this could be connected to an impact?

[@lumpofnicoal8381]

Would love to see a comparison of all the new gen Hercules impacts to see if they’ve improved on anything

Also, the gen 1 ultra torque Hercules can be had for $130 right now with a 20% coupon on top of its clearance price.

[@DUKE_of_RAMBLE]

DeWalt on DeWalt action, by making Chainsaw Massacre ][ by strapping a DCF-961 to it, in place of that Milwaukee? 😊 And, perhaps try and machine a small metal enclosure for the whole thing (instead of using the drill body)? Something that looks similar to the drill impact-attachment that you tested awhile back...

[@jtdiomond1]

The reason Dewalt hasn't come out with theirs is because they're still working on how to make it as angry with life as the 1/2" model.

[@edwardoavila7666]

This was a DCF897 anvil in a DCF961 hammer assembly correct? If so, the anvil sweep is not the same. The lobes are a different size between the DCF897 anvil and the DCF900 anvil. I’m curious to see what the hammer and anvil fitment looks like after your testing.

[@TorqueTestChannel]

@THEBEARDEDTOOLGUY oh its def just an anvil. But that's normal

[@Comm0ut]

A carbide insert in a boring bar could make short work of it and for most who don't have a home machine shop a visit to your local shop (on a Friday and offer to bring frostly libation) might get the bushing mod done cheap, quick and accurately. Bring anvil and housing so they can mic the anvil shaft. BTW for large batteries to ship freely in Europe one option for manufacturers (and creative hobbyists with 3D printers) could be to make one style of battery with a duplicate battery well in the bottom so as to stack batteries. How insane one chose to be with stacked parallel batteries is up to the user. Another could be a dual battery adapter mounting them side by side vertically. Awkward but for some jobs it could avoid mechanic suffering.

I love these 3/4 videos, that dewalt mod is how they should have shipped it right away from factory. Imho makita xgt still looks very competitive, similar or better numbers in more "realistic" 5 and 10 second tests and none of that vtec nonsense, plus their batteries are much better and quality/repairability is better in general.

[@bleyz3557]

Pretty sure they did 1/2 model just in case to be the number one among 1/2 impact wrenches. Maybe there is more to do for the dewalt than just snap on 3/4 drive on 961, and they will do some twicks and things around to make it actual 1200 ft/lbs monster.

[@riba2233]

@@bleyz3557 maybe yeah, we'll have to wait and see :)

[@TorqueTestChannel]

It's worth keeping in mind a 10 second test here is still starting from zero torque. You wouldn't be needing 10 seconds to see the performance we show if your bolt is already tight enough to need those numbers. The VTec changes things a bit but still.

How about an impact socket stress test against that banger of a Dewalt? See which one resists the round-out the best.
