Does Dewalt Finally Have the Best Impact Driver??? DCF860 Takes on The Best from Milwaukee and Flex!

Dewalt's New High Torque Impact Driver is impressive! But how does it compare against the other top impact drivers on the market, the Flex Quick Eject and the Milwaukee Gen 4 Fuel Impact Driver.

As a roofer in the uk working in god awful weather half the year i have gone through 3 milwaukee gen 3 impacts and 3 gen 4 impacts and every one has shit its pants 😅, i still have the last 4 models of dewalt all working perfectly even though they all look battered 😂 that 860 is definitely gonna be my next buy as im still using my dcf850 after 3 years and it has never let me down.

Great video!! Thanks! I really appreciate all the time it takes to test this stuff, not to mention setting up the video shots. Well done, quality video and very good audio. Thanks for the graphics! :)

For me, the winner is 100% that 1.7ah powerstack. For 90% of use that battery is always on my 20V stuff because of how light and compact it is.

Great comparison. This is my new favorite tool channel. Direct and straight to the point

Putting aside that, I am a DeWalt type of man.
After analysing the results of the tests, I have to say that on many times there seemed to be more of an even match with DeWalt and Milwaukee competing for Pole Position more, in respect to Flex, which initially seemed like it was leaving DeWalt and Milwaukee for dust, but as the tests were being carried out further Flex was falling further behind and DeWalt and and Milwaukee exchanged positions in the Grand Pri from 1st to 2nd more constantly. I have come to the conclusion that for me, based on the overall results, DeWalt is still the Drill to go for.

Out of appreciation to you for taking the time to produce this content to share with us viewers, the video has now been given the 429th like 🤙🏼to say thankyou very much.

Have a great Week and take care, Sir. 🤙🏼🙂🤙🏼❤️

Another good review, thanks. I can’t understand why you haven’t got many more followers?

[NeverFollowTheCrowd]

Nice to see Dewalt putting some effort to beat the competition.

As for impact drivers in the automotive field with dewalt my 20v i have had for 3 plus years and still works great. I have recently bought a 3/8 impact driver and use it for everything including lugnuts.

Guy at work as snapon 3/8 and has broken anvil 3 times this year, snaped clean off.

Now 1/2 inch ive had mine for 8 years used daily out performs snapon and new Milwaukee. I recently bought a new one other works fine just wanted new one and its actually rated more breakaway than Milwaukee.

Lights on tools are garbage in automotive field and never last long burnout from grease oil etc

One thing I always wish to see in these comparisons and no one does is gabbing any brand high performance 3/8th impact wrench and comparing the performance on the larger fasteners.

Torque test channel has shown that dewalt is ontop, i dont know what you are talking about..

My first Dewalt was an entry level drill 780, i think i bought it 12 years ago came with 2x 4ah batteries for a great price. I have been using it for anything but last summer after i mixed concrete buckets with it, it just started to rattle in it, i thought the gears broke.

Chucked it in a box and got me a dcf850.

Winter came and i thought it was a bit sad the drill was dead so i tore it apart and i couldn't find anything wrong with it, it looked brand new on the inside except all the dust and crud. I cleaned everything, put the parts in the dishwasher and put it back together with some new moly grease in it and it just works like new again.

Waiting for a Dewalt powerstack 60 Volt flexvolt battery.

[txvet]

I don’t have the gen4 Milwaukee impact, I opted for the cheaper Hercules clone impact and it has worked great so far for my needs! I am a Milwaukee fanboy but like the testing shows, they are all pretty dang close! Great review my friend!

[TheWesB]

By far my favorite tool channel. Honest, unbiased reviews, and a fellow fan of the 1.7 ah powerstack/dcd800. The 1.7 ah powerstsck paired with an impact/dcd800 makes for a powerful and compact combo, and I'll sing it's praises to anyone who will listen lol.
Keep up the great work!

[Mind-Over]

I wish I could have one of your drills. I always wanted to have DeWalt DCD996P2 XR 20V Max Cordless 3 Speed Hammer Drill

[brianf]

The DeWalt is overpriced right now because its new, in around 4 to 6 months it will be about $150 .00 just in time for the Holidays, and if you think DeWalt didn't plan it that way your crazy, just sayin ....😂🤣😅

[THEBEARDEDTOOLGUY]

have broken the 1/4 to half inch for driving lags and the bit left in the collet came out with no trouble you have the north america one like me all these early youtube channels got the one from asia and that they can keep it i could if i want go and get the new dewalt dcf 870 hyrdo from a guy in vietnam only $220

[fiercelyfluffy]

Waiting for the dcf870 to release in the States before I upgrade. More compact, quieter by orders of magnitude. What else could you ask for?

Amen to the praise of the Powerstack 1.7ah battery. The size of a 12v battery but the power of a 5ah 18V battery. I too want to see a Milwaukee response to it. It’s strange how it’s absent after so long.

[gabrielszawronski]

I love the test and comparisons of these tools but people still don’t seem to understand that impact drivers are designed for small to medium fasteners. A drill is always going to be faster for longer fasteners because that’s what it is designed for. You don’t see people using impact drivers to install cabinets with 4 inch screws because impacts are not meant for that. None the less great video and keep up the great work.👏👏

Dewalt 850 is still my favorite all around impact. The Dewalt battery platform has taken the lead and produced smaller packs with efficient energy applications. The 8ah xr stack is looking good!
