- Dewalt DCF900 Impact 1/2in vs Dewalt DCF897 Impact 3/4in Field test on Semi wheels!
Taking two Dewalt Impact guns to semi lugs.
We will see which Impact is the better choice.
Both will be running 5ah Dewalt battery.
Removing lugs on the steering wheels and then off the drive wheels.
Personally, I'd use a 1 inch drive impact for semi wheels. I'd save the 1/2 inch stuff for smaller applications on semis, or regular passenger car/truck stuff. I do appreciate the real world test. Cheers!!
I agree. I'd rather use 1". The problem is that the big electric 1" from Milwaukee or IR are over 1000$ and these little 1/2" can actually remove lug nuts and they cost only 400$.
The problem with the big 1" cordless with big batteries they wont fit inside a 22.5 wheel without and extension and you lose a ton of torque with the extension. So the 3/4 guns do better with just a deep well socket believe it or not.
Thanks for saving me 300 dollars today , I bought the 900 a couple weeks ago cause the 899 couldn’t take some 1 1/8” bolts on a Ariel compressor & the 900 couldn’t either so I thought about buying the 3/4 but not anymore , hopefully 961 can do it if it comes out
It looks like you had it on the tighten/loosen mode. You need to have it on 3 for full strength.
Hey man, your socket was getting stuck on the nut, and so the impact was fighting against its self. I'd suggest spraying oil on them first. That gun has plenty of power for semi lugs. Good luck!
Oh man, what nonsense
Although many people remain stubborn ...the truth is deawlt hasn't been a good brand for a long time .The machine is defective , brother..
@@Manuel9x9 Yea I know, I was trying to avoid the truth just like you are.
You'll be a lot better off admitting DeWalt as more or less King of the impact world for now, rather than trying to convince me otherwise, as I run their impacts daily and know what they're capable of. 🙂
@@slingin_tires Nah no more muck about, take it back and get the friggin thing replaced . This is the second channel I've seen a fault in the DeWalt 900
@@mikekahotea8148 DeWalt's can have faults just like any other brand. But if it was faulty, it wouldn't have taken any of them loose.
@@slingin_tires true, my 900 works well , but I did notice that my hand accidentally knocked the forward and reverse switch trying to loosen a rusty stubborn nut making cluttering
noise. Just wondering if that's the problem this guy is having
Thnx for the real world test.
Use a 1" and 5/16 socket with the Dewalt 1/2, try it and thank me later. The socket fits tighter and stops it doing the chattery popcorn noise.
Use a Hazet or any other German made socket and no issue with sockets
Do you typically use a torque wrench to tighten the tires of these large trucks?
I don't think you're supposed to but the torque spec is probably higher than what he applied.
Those wheels are on connected to a sem eye, not a sem E. Unless of course your a crazy Canuk. Just kidding, thanks for the video!
The bolt removal mode sucks that’s why it was acting like that put the 900 on speed 3
That happens when the socket gets stuck to the nut
That's a nice ass drill. Super powerful. optimus prime approves.
Neither of those guns are drills.
@@theyodaman82 neither of those impacts are guns
bro I suggest wearing ear muffs because these impact wrenches are very loud
What can't you hear? What you say! Lol! Yes, I totally recommend wearing ear plugs! 👂
😂 No problem or struggled for a little bit? Which one?
I think this whole trend has been ridiculous. We have had different size impact wrenches for different needs for a very long time, and for a very good reason. Even if you can put more torque to a drive and socket, that doesn't mean the square or the socket is built for that kind of work. More torque on a 1/2 inch just means beating up the tool, beating up the drive, beating the sockets and making everything fail quicker. You don't need more power in that tool, you need to go grab your 3/4 inch anyway, or your 1 inch if you have it.
All of this "torque numbers" for smaller tools is all about marketing and trying to beat competitors. Not make better tools or do a better job. We are going backwards.
A 1 5/16" socket should perform better than the 33mm and should not get stuck on the nut.
Run the gun, it makes its biggest torque after a few seconds. You keep feathering the trigger in and out. May as well hit it with your purse!
The hesitation in your trigger finger isn't doing it any favors.
Dcf 900 is faster type of dcf 899, its spin too fast so anvil is not sit properly on hamer while they impacting, it causing the impacting proses gets premature (not on the right weight), that what i think.
Is the 899 better?
@@user-sf7kl9uh7k dcf900 still better for now, and more durable maybe due to new select button design. For short stroke of impact i think its no contest, but for big rusty nut/bolt it would be jammed due to speed.
