I like the pin indent because you can put it on real easy and take it off easy or you can use pin indent where it stays on until you push the pin in with a nail ,the hog ring can be hard to put on and hard to take off especially if it's new and as wears down you eventually have to replace it
Hi, excellent demonstration ty, xr means extreme run time and brushless is on the handle and the back of the tool, ty for explanation of the too anvils,
That’s a good idea Nigel. Since the only difference is the anvil. That’s an inexpensive way to have both the hog ring and detent impact wrenches. -Steve
@@Woodland26 this is the link to the detent pin anvil mentioned above: amzn.to/3Nqf4CX If you need the hog ring anvil, this is the link for that part: amzn.to/39YkSWu
I can see a need for both Hog and Pin anvils in my work. I have a DCF894B. I have a IR QT 5lb pneumatic impact driver. That is fine in the garage, but I also need something I can use up in a 122 foot tree. 6 or 7 lbs is way to much weight. I want the pin anvil for that. The garage doesn't matter to me. I am thinking the DCF892B would be best for both cases.
Does the hog ring have that small opening that kind of shows the black rubber ring under the “metal ring?” Just bought mine and it looks like it’s broken
I had a 1/2 in drive Dewalt XR impact gun with a hog ring bounce a large socket off my forehead. It drew blood but it actually could have killed me. That was not something I would wish on anybody.
They both use the same sockets which are 1/2” drive sockets. There are 3 common drive sizes for sockets 1/4” 3/8” & 1/2” (which is the largest of the 3).
Yes XR doesn’t stand for brushless it’s short for “Extreme Runtime” and that term came out from DEWALT in 2011. Since XR was introduced DEWALT added the brushless motors to add to the energy efficiency of the tool. An Impact Wrench without XR on it will not have a brushless motor which is why I explained it that way so someone shopping for a brushless impact wrench can identify the correct tool.
@@TwistedToolbox XR tools are brushless so you are right but plenty of tools not labeled XR are also brushless like atomic and other tools wit no label. Basically every new model tool is now brushless. XR is more just their premium version tools
Thanx for this. Short, sweet and told me everything I needed to know.
You’re welcome tumbalo
Thanks for the information. I've noticed by never given a second though as to why they were different.
You’re welcome

I just bought the new DCF900....its pretty cool...it will round out your sockets though
I bought the hogring model but for a small additional price, I bought a detent pin anvil. Pretty easy to swap over if your need arises.

thk s for clarification
for socket mounts ...
When mine was new, the hog ring was pretty tight and difficult to remove sockets.
I’ve had some sockets stick before but when I use impact sockets for the impact wrench, those all go on and off smoothly.
that's what she said
I CANT GET A SOCKET ON OR OFF WHY???????
Cleared up my questions, thanks!
You're welcome
Never tighten lug nuts with am impact or pneumatic tool, always use a torque wrench
Exactly. Impacts and pneumatic tools can strip threads easily
Correct. You can put them on with an impact and then tighten them to specs with a torque wrench.
@@TwistedToolboxthat’s what i do
Excellent video, thank u Sir. Blessings.
You're welcome
is hog ring the same as friction?
Yes the hog ring applies friction to the socket to keep it on the tool.
@@TwistedToolbox Good to know. i just bought the hog ring :) Cheers
Good video, Sir. Thank you
You're welcome, I'm glad you liked it.

Like a split in your hog ring?
Yes, you will see a split in the hog ring. That allows it to act like a spring when going into a socket.
I had a 1/2 in drive Dewalt XR impact gun with a hog ring bounce a large socket off my forehead. It drew blood but it actually could have killed me. That was not something I would wish on anybody.
Robert, good thing it wasn’t worse. That’s why when I do overhead work, I take the detent pin tool so I don’t risk dropping a socket. -Steve
You should stick with Ryobi before you hurt yourself
how did the socket displace from the tool? did you not latch it on properly?
Thanks for sharing
You’re welcome Nando
I've got the hog ring model. Hate it. Socket fit is sloppy when they're on, and they you need a small pry tool to get the socket off. Sucks.
I don't have issues like you are describing with my hog ring model.
Using impact or regular sockets?
XR means xtreme run time
What does atomic means?
I prefer hog ring, because having a whole in the middle like for the detent pin makes it structurally weaker, more prone to break
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing.
So I buy one..now waht? do I need special sockets or what to use with it? I need the "so you know nothing about the Impact world" teach me from A-Z

Xr does not mean brushless only it's just their top of the line
Correct. XR doesn't mean brushless and all brushless models are XR models.
Correct. And all XR models are brushless.
Made in USA! I don’t think they all are unfortunately
I don’t think every tool is either but these ones have the label stating Made in the USA.
@@TwistedToolbox duh
