its more powerful than the milwauke. already been tested by the impact test channel on his expensive diagnostic machines, its running about 300ft lbs average while the milwauke runs 220 , big difference.

The awkward part is you can tell when someone has a brand bias. Like AvE says, brand loyalty is stupid. If it's better it's better; some people really can't handle that their favorite brand gets bested by another brand that ACTUALLY meets the torque it states it does.

Actually you need to watch actual test. Yes they were both tested. Milwaukee is rated at 250 pounds and make a little over 400 pounds. While Dewalt rated their at 450 and struggled right at 450. So not saying the Milwaukee is stronger, yes the Dewalt has a slighter edge. Still to me it was more impressive that the Milwaukee squeezed out 200 more pounds that it was rated at, while the Dewalt barely got to what it is being advertised at. No to mention Milwaukee already has something brewing from what I’ve been told.

@@Runescape.It doesn't suck at all. That's how progress works. You don't wait to get a tool you need now, for the model coming out in 5 years because it's going to be better.... DeWalt was late to the big boy game in automotive. They are coming out strong now. It's a great thing. It will drive others to build better. And just because a brand has set a new bar, doesn't make an already existing tool in the tool box, less good. If you removed a crank bolt with a tool yesterday, it will do it again today, even if something shinier has come out... What would suck is if you were a diehard fanboy, and didn't use Milwaukee or a tool truck brand for the last ten years, just to wait for your brand to win. Because while you were waiting, you now have arthritis everywhere, from doing everything by hand... Full disclosure, I use both Milwaukee and DeWalt. And I have an 885/887/840/845/923/891/899 and a 900.
I think the bottom line is either tool is excellent for their size. Milwaukee impacts are awesome and DeWalt clearly did a good job designing some competition. It mainly comes down to what battery system you're invested in.

For me it all comes down to warranty, Milwaukee can get a tool back to you either repaired or replaced in under 2 weeks now. This is a good thing because Milwaukee tools seem to break a lot!

Love that Atomic 1/2” impact! HD had a great sale during Xmas - 2 batteries (6ah & 4ah) with charger & 1/2” atomic impact for 200
The Biggest Difference for Me is DeWalt is an American Company and Milwaukee is a CHINESE OWNED COMPANY , so as a True Patriot I'm obviously a Big DeWalt Guy ......👍🖖
I'm grateful that Dewalt and Milwaukee are stepping it up with automotive tools in stock at supply stores. I bought the M12 ratchet (great tool, but I think overpriced for what it is). Looking forwards to building on my already current Dewalt platform with this impact! Good job Dewalt! I love Capitalism. Finally we are seeing competition in the impact wrench and electric ratchet platform! :) Thanks for another great video!

The batteries alone cost a fortune.
Now wait and see it with the new “Tstack” battery platform that deWalt is set to come out with.. it’s gonna be a game changer.
Was just looking at these, the DCF923 specifically, because the $199 with 5.0Ah battery deal is tempting. Then I remembered you just put a video out on them and had to come watch! Have been looking at the M12 stubby foreve, but haven't pulled the trigger. I think I might get this instead. Overall very similar pricing when including the battery deal, much more powerful, and at 4.95" vs 4.8" tool length I think the DeWalt will fit into 97.62% of the same spaces the Milwaukee can. I would be comparing with the M18 stubby as well, but since I'm already on the 20V platform I don't consider it an option right now. Good video as always. Nice practical test and nice to hear what you think.
If you shock the threads of the bolt with a hammer first a bolt will come out easier sometimes
Impressive tool performance by Dewalt it has been a long while since Dewalt had anything worth even considering purchasing but I am gonna stick with my Milwaukee cordless tools for now.
Today is 6-24-23,I just ordered a dcf923 atomic..is it the same as this one,just a newer version? Because the one I ordered is 300/450
I have a 2018 Crosstrek Limited and its approaching 30k miles. When I have its trans fluid and front and rear diff fluid changed, should I have an independent Japanese shop do it or the dealer? Appreciate all your help!! And what are the intervals? Years and mileage please.
Love the Milwaukee over mould rubberzied protection
Use a torque wrench to torque down to 450. Milwaukee will struggle
I just bought a 1/2" drive DeWalt 12 V stubby( DCF901 ), and have been hesitant to believe that it has the supposed 400 ft-lbs of breakaway. Any interest in seeing a test of the 12V version?!?

I recently got the 901 as a heavy hitter and also have the 3/8’s half inch for engine work stuff I’m going to tell you the 901 is a MONSTER with the 5ah 12v battery. It handled 140-150 lugs all day, did axle nuts with ease at 200 ft lbs, even did rusted suspension bolts. I wouldn’t even wanna guess what those were broke at. Oh man. I should’ve had it sooner
How to impact ones tool brand choice. Not scientific but all that matters in the real world is whether or not it can do the job you intend to use it for. I'm with you, I have DeWalt tools so you know which way I'm headed. Most people that have committed to a brand and have a lot of those tools will stick to that brand.
I have the old dewalt high torque dcf899 and I also have the dcf921 recently tried to use the dcf921 to remove the u joint end caps just didn't cut it. so I had to bring out the big boy dcf899 it shot that end cap out and accidentally hit my son in the nuts ouch!! But boy ill tell you that big boy never fails to amaze.
Awesome review! Would that dewalt work for lug nuts and suspension parts on a light vehicle?
Seems like a Milwaukee fan boy
How you done one fit the dewalt dcf891?
Id say they both are about 350flb to 400flb as the bolts and nuts wont all be the same torque like you mentioned i like the Milwaukee more not into defaults lol

nice plug for the tool boss 😄
"Breakaway" or "Nut-busting" torque is a marketing term for "being able to loosen a nut tightened to said number", it's not relevant to real-world usage. Dewalt's 300ft-lb number is the real torque spec of this tool, and it makes more sense, being that it's slightly more powerful than the Milwaukee - 50ft-lb more.

1.9 sec for the dewalt to break loose the lug nuts and Milwaukie took just under 3 sec
Awesome video just a bit hard to believe any power tool platform would give themselves a lower rating on torque and the other one a higher rating… no platform brand will make a strong tool and say it is capable of doing less… thats just not smart for sells. But I do think that torque on a “dyno” torque testing machine is very different from real life.
I wish companies would put actual torque and not nut busting. Removing something only takes about 75% of the forc... so 400ft lbs takes 300 to remove. 🤔

Hello again Mr. Subaru 1387 Thank you for another Great Video. Since I find myself in the upgrading of my tools. I currently have a Hitachi 12 volt drill and impact wrench set. I just found out, I can't buy new batteries from Metabo. I've been researching both companies. And find myself in that area of uncertainty. Which is the Best tool for me. I really don't need nut busting torque they both offer. Weight of the tool is another consideration. I maybe depaneling a wing of a Boeing 747 aircraft. So I don't need that type torque. It's nice to have. And after a twelve hour shift I'm done for sure. Is there another one to look at? Again thank you

Having one charger which can charge both batteries doesn't really concern me since starter packs come with chargers. Def not saying people shouldn't go Milwaukee M18. Generally, I think it's the best lineup for sure. I am just saying there are a lot of savings to be had with DeWalt. So it depends on the person's needs. :)

After being a big Milwaukee/chevy guy growing up, we found that Milwaukee's had a major performance slump after a few months of usage after an internal review and the battery longevity was far worse in cold climates. My stupid "loyalty" probably cost me a lot of money in productivity and was an expensive mistake when I couldn't afford to do it.
