Good to see an honest (right?), hard working guy giving his real-world opinions and humor. Started watching your Shorts and making my wife laugh with me at your stuff. Keep it up, boss. Make that cake.
What do you think of the guy that posted a vid of a hybrid impact driver with the anvil off an impact wrench. Was a Milwaukee but they showed it outperformed the wrench I believe
@@not-a-raccoon I watched it and forgot about it until I read his comment but it inspired me to buy a m12 fuel stubby 3/8 and buy an adapter for 1/4 hex chuck to use my 5/16 steel self tappers for the different impact rate with relatively same rpm. It drills and impacts maybe 5% faster than my 20v dewalt dcf885 that outperforms any other impact driver in my field of work. The m12 gets about 80-90% battery life of the 20v amp for amp 2v2 and 4v4 so when I'm roofing for a long time I stick with the 20v but for size/power the m12 blows it out of the water for ground or basket work
I work for a pretty big forklift company and I have all dewalt stuff, I swapped my 1/4 driver out for a 3/8 impact and you won't be disappointed with your purchase
I have used Dewalt battery powered tools since the late 90s... I still have those same tools to this day. I used them for my job (say at least 2 to 3 hours of use each day for 10 years)... Just replaced or rebuilt the battery packs and brushes as they wore out. Of course I have "upgraded" to the newer brushless tools, but the original ones I bought in the 90s are still in working order.
Just came across your channel a week or so ago, saw the first video and subscribed. Thanks for both the solid opinions and the humor!! Especially appreciated the 3-part series (shorts) on What Your Tools Say About You!! Keep up the solid work!!
I totally understand your line of reasoning. Even on semi trucks i rarely need full send that a high torque 1/2 puts out but my bit driver just does not cut it sometimes. The 3/8 guns are a nice middle ground. I went with the “full size” 3/8th but many times i wish i had the stubby.
I'm an ag mechanic bought the 12v version a while back really happy with it. light enough to swing all day but still packs a decent punch. surprisingly good battery life to
I'm a maintenance tech and I love me 12v tools. They do 80 percent of what an 18v will do with half the weight. I still have the 18v stuff, but my 12v tools make me the most monies
Dewalt just came out with the DCF891, which outperforms evey mid-torque on the market right now. It looks similar to the 894, but puts out heaps more power for a similar price and size Of course, this will do a lot of what you need it to. But that 891 brings a ton of power for the midsize category. I think its comparable to the big 1/2 Dewalt you have, in a smaller form factor.
This is the one I'm getting for my son for his birthday, I got the Hilti myself because I need the service and there is NO other company that provides that kind of service. I once had a receptionist drive out into a field in the middle of dark winter (this is Sweden) the day before Christmas (because she was the only one there at that time, you know, office parties) to hand me my replacement tool. You just can't find another company that would provide that kind of service. It also means the tool will damn near never break because when it does... It'll cost them and not me. So +1 for that review.
Skookum is as skookum does. AVE's experience and BOLTR teardowns stand in direct contrast to your opinion of (many) Makita products as expressed in the "What your 3/4" driver says about you" shorts. FWIW, I'm a fan of both y'all.
Timber Screw mode for wood related applications like lag screws or Precision Wrench mode it goes until it impacts stops for a brief moment then continues impacting for more control and less chance of over torqueing and damaging lower torque bolts.
It's good to have that jack of all trades tool like that little driver that will be a workhorse on most jobs. However the big gun is nice to have when you need it. I think it's a good upgrade.
Not a professional like you guys just the DIY guy who learned from a professional. The only reason I got an impact driver is cuz I got a great deal for the set with the drill. I only used the impact driver to drive in screws. I always kind of thought of it as a modern cordless version of the old school dry-wall gun my dad gave me to build a half pipe when I was a kid. Still have that old school gun I think it's a Milwaukee or a Makita that thing is a beast and still rips. Love you channel man Ave is the best though lol
As a steel building guy who uses a dewalt dcf885 on a daily basis for 5/16 drive self tappers I found the m12 fuel stubby filled the gap perfectly where I can use my 3/4-7/8 deepwells to crank the subframe down and not snap all the adapters going into my hex chuck impact. Then I bought a 3/8 square to 1/4 hex chuck so I texted the m12 with the same 5/16 self tappers and it is just as good of a screw gun as the 20v dewalt with 80% of the battery life of the 20v amp for amp 2v2 and 4v4. Just not a fan of dewalt "compact" impacts. My m12 with a 2ah will fit in my big screwdriver slots
I bought the DCF913, which I believe is pretty much the same thing without the different modes. It's my first cordless impact, AND my first Dewalt. I don't know how I went 36 years without a decent uggadugga. I love it.
I've got only cordless dewalt tools. Only tools bought knowingly brand new are my flex volt 4.5" grinder and my grease gun. I had makita b4 but my carpal tunnel kicked in and I needed a battery grease gun and makita at the time did not make them. All my other tools I have found at pawn shops most still in the box and I bought 2 1/4 impact drivers as I am lazy so 1 has a 1/4 bit in it and the other has the bit driver in it. Got both brushless 1/2" impacts along with reciprocating saw, vacuum, and leaf blower. The leaf blower is so much nicer than using my air compressor to blow out the lifts.
The new DCF891 mid torque looks to be the unit to beat in the 1/2” drive arena. Not as compact as the one you got there tho. That thing will work great for what you are planning to use it for. Can’t wait to see the shorts.
Theres definatly room in this market for an impact wrench to have a torque potential coil, meaning, on initial start up a real heavy break turn, before getting into the regular 450Nm cyclic. I find that lacking the initial hard push, (like we do with our strongarms) the nut fights for longer than it needs to.
They make a new impact wrench the dcf891! It has the power of the big dcf899 but It’s much smaller. It looks very similar to the dcf894 but it packs nearly twice as much beans.
i am a zoomer that does nothing related to any of this or the use of tools apart from mowing lawns occasionally for side money, and i watch all ur vids, ur a very entertaining person
I am a dewalt user and from my experience if I throw one of my bigger batteries like a 6 I get more power out of the drill I also noticed with the bigger battery the drill heats up quicker
I noticed DeWalt is not on your list of jokes. I’m a Harbor Freight guy and only work on the 4 vehicles my wife and I own ( and my in-laws vehicles), but I have to say, I am interested. If companies used videos like yours for the folks that actually use them I think they would have higher sales. Glad I subbed.
My Atomic impact driver is perfect. It packs a punch and is a little bigger than the one shown here. I use the 20v max battery. It will work for days. I love it . Try it. Just don’t touch my tools.
I Run my own material handling company in Liverpool England, I Really enjoy Watching your work, videos and content is hilarious, stay safe and Really nice to say hello 👋
Fun fact... These tools chooch harder and faster with a bigger Ah battery... That doesn't really make much sense to me, but I believe projectfarm tested it extensively and yea, bigger battery more torque and speed... I know, still sounds like bollocks to me. I've got 5ah and the 9ah flex volt, maybe I should grab a torque adapter and see....
I believe this is probably due to saggage so the more capacity you have the less the sagging voltage is noticed. just a guess from a clueless individual 😂
@@samholdsworth420 yea maybe... But like a fully charged 5ah should perform just as good as a fully charged 9ah, at least for a while? Apparently not... I'm going to end up wiring my impact through a multi meter and hitting a torque adapter in a vice aren't I?... Damn it. Edit: iirc they spin faster with no load too, so that should eliminate voltage sag? I haven't tested anything... You're maybe right.
@@samholdsworth420 agreed voltage or current drop... Shouldn't really be a thing though, I'd expect the same performance out of a fresh 2ah as a fresh 9ah - at least for a little while. Anyway, weight is an issue, ever tried using a flex volt on a drill with your left hand at a weird angle? It fucking hurts man that thing is chunky. Know what I use it for mostly? I got the dewalt battery topper that has two USB ports on it and I charge my stuff with it when I'm camping or in the mountains, it lasts an entire week lol.
Well good video. Just the wrong color tools. I can forgive you though. 😹. One reason I run Milwaukee is I’ve had some of the same tools since 09. The batteries from my new Milwaukee still fits my oldest lithium stuff. Good videos.
I drive screws more than nuts and bolts. Impact drivers strip screw heads and over sink the screws. I would like a compact driver that has the customary torque settings and no drill mode.
It's hilarious watching video without sound from the thumbnail. All it is is a set of hands waving around 😆. On a more serious note, im digging the compact size of that impact.
1:05 the dcf894 is 330ft lbs and is what you are looking for I think. The 1/4" hex shank with the adapter you showed (809) is 141 ft lbs. The newer dcf887 is 150~ ft lbs. The 899 you showed after is around 700ft lbs. The dcf921 (smallest one you showed I think) claims it is 300ft lbs so might be just what you need.
The 894 is decent, but you can get the brand new 891 for just a bit more. Which blows the 894 out of the water by a long shot. Its also about the same size
@@coltonjacobs5383 my 894 does the job pretty well. I found a dcf999 at the local pawn shop for $160 I threw it on layaway due to not having enough on me. Picking it up Thursday. If you get the chance go to them I have found many brushless dewalt tools in damn near brand new condition and actually found 5 tools still in the box and no signs of use.
@@casemods I just got the 899 that thing is heavy but a it's a beast. It doesn't hit as frequently as the 894 and minimal vibration. Having carpal tunnel in both wrist sucks but the vibration made it so much worse. Also the 899 doesn't have that initial snap like the 894. I paid 150 for my 894 just the bare tool at the pawn shop but it was still in the box and had signs if never being used. Probably got stole by a junkie from a local retailer.
I went blue instead of yellow.. but so many people knock on using a 1/4 hex as an impact. My Makita 1/4 pulled lug nuts and even a hub bolt on a dodge neon. I still have the 1/2" brushless (very compact, stout as fk. 10/10) but a lot of the time it's just not needed. That being said, by the time you add the socket adapter bit you've got a loong boy. That's where the dedicated impact wrench really shines. Throw in some wobble extensions and the world is yours. Unless you are working on BIG toys, the compacts like you got are the bees knees. I still haven't found a tractor bolt that my 1/2 inch makita wont remove or shear :-D Sorry to ramble. Just leaving shit to spike the algorithm punch.
Think you gave me a good idea for a gift for my stepfather for birthday/christmas... if anyone knows a better/cheaper model for home use someone whos not like...a forklift mechanic [though he does work on MANY cars himself and is a machinist working with cnc and cad etc etc all day hence why this would be great for him i think ] let me know maybe but otherwise im liking this guy
AvE and Torque Test Channel! A man of good taste, I see! I happen to be a member of the "Red Army", as it were, but that's just the ecosystem I happened upon. To me, all the name brands make good shit. I could have easily gotten the yellow, blue, orange, etc. Doesn't matter that much to me.
@@FunkFPV Its manual says pretty much the same thing, just with more words: "Timber Screw(TM) mode optimizes tool performance to help increase the speed of wood driving applications such as with lag bolts, lag screws and structural wood screws." Sure would be nice if they told you what it actually did!
DON'T YOU DIS my DCF809. I LOVE IT and use it every day! (It's great for taking apart dryers, furnaces, and other appliances, which I do daily. Too much torque to put them back together though, got to use a nut driver for that.)
Pretty good look-over I would give you about a five score on that minus about another three cuz you Yak the same thing too long over and over keep going you'll get there
Funny that I'm seeing this video just now. I'm a millwright and I run Milwaukee tools, I use my quarter inch driver and half inch impact religiously but lately I've been wondering if it would be worth picking up a 3/8 drive, might be nice to have something in between. I have a bit of an addiction with buying tools lol so I'm trying to get out of the habit of buying just to buy.
“Keep an eye on your shorts” .... 😳 are you hiding a different driver? I think with all the info between Torque Test, Project Farm, and AvE, you found your time saving and back saving, tool of wonders.
@@FunkFPV I guess that means I have to stick with the Milwaukee for now. I meant my friend. Wasn’t talking about me. Fuck, we both know that as a field mechanic. I have no friends
How you getting on witn the stubby? I don't need one, I have the bigger one which suits all my needs, but eventually it'll wear out as everything does - you finding it comparable to the big one? I feel like the stub has to have some short comings, you're either sacrificing motor size... Or little anvils or some shit... Edit: ill make it clear, I'm a dewalt fan boy, all of my shit is dewalt... I just look at the stubby and think... Hmm... Maybe?
Good to see an honest (right?), hard working guy giving his real-world opinions and humor. Started watching your Shorts and making my wife laugh with me at your stuff. Keep it up, boss. Make that cake.
There's a serious difference between impact drivers and impact wrenches. As powerful as the drivers are, a dedicated wrench is on another level.

Sorry to ramble. Just leaving shit to spike the algorithm punch.
Seems cool, but how will it adapt to powering a home made corn grinder/finger remover?
Think you gave me a good idea for a gift for my stepfather for birthday/christmas... if anyone knows a better/cheaper model for home use someone whos not like...a forklift mechanic [though he does work on MANY cars himself and is a machinist working with cnc and cad etc etc all day hence why this would be great for him i think ]
let me know maybe but otherwise im liking this guy
Bumble Bee gang roll out
If you had to pick one, 3/8” or 1/2” impact wrench for auto use?
AvE and Torque Test Channel! A man of good taste, I see!
I happen to be a member of the "Red Army", as it were, but that's just the ecosystem I happened upon. To me, all the name brands make good shit. I could have easily gotten the yellow, blue, orange, etc. Doesn't matter that much to me.
I beat the living shit out of mine, had the older longer version, until the anvil got worn out. The 1/2" is a beast and very heavy!
These are the most used Dewalts I’ve seen in 10 years
The lag screw mode is for lag screws.
Well yeah LoL but what does it do?
@@FunkFPV Its manual says pretty much the same thing, just with more words: "Timber Screw(TM) mode optimizes tool performance to help increase the speed of wood driving applications such as with lag bolts, lag screws and structural wood screws." Sure would be nice if they told you what it actually did!
👍👍👍👍
You had me at skookum
I need
DON'T YOU DIS my DCF809. I LOVE IT and use it every day! (It's great for taking apart dryers, furnaces, and other appliances, which I do daily. Too much torque to put them back together though, got to use a nut driver for that.)
Has that AvE energy...
Pretty good look-over I would give you about a five score on that minus about another three cuz you Yak the same thing too long over and over keep going you'll get there
Funny that I'm seeing this video just now. I'm a millwright and I run Milwaukee tools, I use my quarter inch driver and half inch impact religiously but lately I've been wondering if it would be worth picking up a 3/8 drive, might be nice to have something in between. I have a bit of an addiction with buying tools lol so I'm trying to get out of the habit of buying just to buy.
The 3/8th stubby is a miracle it's that good
There is no downside to getting one as it pays for itself within a couple weeks
I’ve been wanting one of those but can’t afford it 😡
LMFAO omg it's so tiny 😂 cuuuuute
Do you rate the Hilti power tools?
You don't have a rolling tool case that can serve as a seat also? Why not?
“Keep an eye on your shorts” .... 😳 are you hiding a different driver?
I think with all the info between Torque Test, Project Farm, and AvE, you found your time saving and back saving, tool of wonders.
Does Bauer make one? I’m asking for a friend that uses 2x6’s for track skid steers. Cuz he doesn’t fit under them like he did 30lbs ago.
I haven’t seen any stubby guns, at least this size from them.
@@FunkFPV I guess that means I have to stick with the Milwaukee for now. I meant my friend. Wasn’t talking about me. Fuck, we both know that as a field mechanic. I have no friends
Are you turning Into Project Farm? lol
I wish I had his money 😁
Does it come in teal?
😁
"Keep an eye on my shorts"
No fuckin thanks, bud.
😎👍🏻
I buy dewalt because it is American owned and at least some of their products are not made in China.
We need all american alternatives
How you getting on witn the stubby? I don't need one, I have the bigger one which suits all my needs, but eventually it'll wear out as everything does - you finding it comparable to the big one?
I feel like the stub has to have some short comings, you're either sacrificing motor size... Or little anvils or some shit...
Edit: ill make it clear, I'm a dewalt fan boy, all of my shit is dewalt... I just look at the stubby and think... Hmm... Maybe?
I really fuck with your channel. But I'm just a cornfed asshole. Take it for what it is. Big ups bub.
You need to share some tips on your manicure. I haven’t been allowed to finger blast my old lady since I’ve been spinning wrenches.
Haha Wear gloves 😁
A skookum choocher
I picked up the half inch one and brother it kicks licks and tickles ass
My only problem with it, is it aint red
