The M18 DeWALT Chainsaw Wrench

Our lifetime worth of TOOL RANKINGS are updated every week: torquetestchan...
DCf961: amzn.to/3GygsCf Chainsaw: amzn.to/3RwJ45k
What happens when you take a Milwaukee M18 2867 and remove all of its M18 bits so that it can instead be driven by a 60V DeWALT 20" chainsaw DCCS677? The world was probably never meant to know, so we stepped in to temp fate and find out.

If you sub, with today's KZbin almost nothing will happen. But hey, we'll still think you're cool. So there's that

[@msytdc1577]

Yeah, but if they hit the bell and turn on notifications something will happen and they'll be extra cool. C'mon, Minecraft KZbinrs have had this promo stuff down for forever, "And don't forget to smash that like button, subscribe, and hit that bell notification!"...

[@ls_812]

Do you have a way to measure how cool we are yet?!?

[@user-ne1ik9zk7l]

I know it's not an impact but have you looked into Hytorc or Radgun tools? They're making astronomical torque claims and I would like to see them get the TTC treatment.

[@TorqueTestChannel]

@@user-ne1ik9zk7l We get offers, including from Hytorc for free ones which hey as a $7k tool that sounds fun. But they aren't particularly fun, just whr whr whr whr stop. High number. They work, they all work assuming they don't turn into confetti. It's a $200 cordless drill and a $2000 strong as heck gear box and LOTS of gear reduction. Good for tightening. Doesn't do much else.

[@wasteoftime727]

[@jamesfair9751]

I still wonder why dewalt hasn’t made a 60 volt flexvolt impact yet !!! The world basically screams for it

[@nilz6432]

The true question is where we will find bolts that need this kind of torque in the real world. Everything above 32 mm which actually has to hold stuff together is getting streched by hydraulics and then the nut is threaded on by hand, as i recently learned.

[@TorqueTestChannel]

@@nilz6432 It's not for tightening. It's for removing stuff that rust welds solid, which is why we hopped it up for reverse. See here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6emq6GwaKxnfMk

[@rudyfromsomewhere3066]

Eventually they will have to make all the tools 60v like makita with xgt line because power tools'd have more power, less heat, for example if they made 60v top drill I'd watch it in action compared to milwaukee flex etc

[@msytdc1577]

​@@TorqueTestChannelI've found there's a narrow range of 'seized up' where just adding MORE POWER will actually remove a fastener versus just turning one fused mass of metal and rust into multiple-one usually jammed real hard into your socket 😢😂 Often still need heat and judicious use of breakfree to separate and lubricate before giving it the beans, but I guess luck and experience factor into it...

[@1steelcobra]

@@rudyfromsomewhere3066 Not likely they'll make all tools 60v, just isn't worth it. That said, they do have 60V drills. One standard pistol grip model with a keyed chuck (DCD130), three stud/joist drills (DCD460, 470, 471), and a few SDS rotary hammers.

[@ToolShow]

[@leadfoot8593]

To increase the torque he needs to increase the weight.

[@jamesfair9751]

You’ve got the tools and equipment to do it so go ahead and build your own impact make it have a 10 pound hammer and bolt on whatever you deem fit for a motor be it something electric or gas plug in or battery and just see if you can hit 3000+ ft/lb

[@cncgeneral]

You'd need to forge the hammer and anvil really. Best bet is just to frankenstein the biggest hammer/anvil combo possible onto a motor like the dewalt chainsaw

[@MrMartinSchou]

@@cncgeneral Just collab with someone like @TITANSofCNC to get a custom made tungsten hammer and anvil.

[@TorqueTestChannel]

@@MrMartinSchou Tungsten would just shatter. It needs to be forged as @cncgeneral said. A forged hammer and forged anvil that's machined. At least if we want it to last longer than the impact in this episode did

[@agoogleuser1188]

[@jonathanshaw8868]

@@TorqueTestChannel forged 4140 or 4340 would be pretty ideal with the right heat treatment, you could oversize the anvil and hammer diameter for more contact area and rotational mass

I could definetly see a market for this kind of thing. roadside service doesn't care about that kinda size. being able to snap off a stud if the last bozo torqued it to "ugga dugga dugga" and used loctite when you're on the side of the highway in the rain can be a real winner

[@ianturnbull266]

I bought one of those DeWalt chainsaws this summer and yeah its an absolute beast. Impressive on how much torque that abomination makes.

[@Comm0ut]

It's pretty decent for an electric and gains more power running a shorter bar like any chainsaw, but it's not really in gasser territory yet. A dual battery version might be.

[@obsessivecorvid]

[@dragonmaster391]

what I really enjoy about these videos are just the insight into impacts and how they function. of course the tool breakdowns and cutouts you do with walking us through parts does as well. I'd enjoy seeing a built up compact or mid torque. we're seeing brands releasing 1/2 high torque that pretty well align with 3/4 power, but don't see much on compact impacts hitting high torque 1/2 range. with pouch cells like forge hitting the market, a 3ah compact battery on a tool the size of a mid torque would make so much sense. something light and small enough to get into tight places where bigger guns would need replaced by a breaker bar. or possibly a right angle impact

[@J_Burgh]

I love that y’all kept the bumper spikes on for no real use but to look cool. (That’s what really matters…) 😂

[@aussiehardwood6196]

I absolutely approve of this project, great idea!

[@deltab9768]

With this silliness, the next step is an “M208” version of the big Milwaukee D-handle, with a new “brushless” (3ph, 25hp induction) motor. Of course it might need a massive frame with caster wheels and a little hand cranked crane or jack to adjust the height and angle since it would be too heavy for a single person to pick up and would create 100 or 200 ft-lb of “kickback” torque just starting without a socket on it.
