Oh dang we just bought a bunch of fakes! No 860 tho, so this has got me hyped one might not suck

Funny how the fake has the hammer drill symbol on the side.

Love your setup. That's a really cool way to test the impacts. Great video!

Oh man these fakes are getting harder and harder to spot! Though I don’t think I would’ve fallen for this one, there’s definitely some counterfeit batteries I might’ve fallen for if I was that hard up for cash and batteries. Thanks for the fantastic video.

Here’s an idea to ponder as a future video, a run down of all the fake tools and batteries and key ways to spot them. I’ve seen plenty of videos comparing counterfeit to real, and those videos usually contain some tips about how to spot fakes, such as how the battery charge level indicators work. But I’ve yet to see a video dedicated solely to how to spot fakes. Obviously this would take time to put together, a lot of time, so maybe an idea for way off in the future?

Regardless, great video, keep up the awesome work!

Slightly faster than driving the screws by hand still :)

At least they were modest and didnt put the XR badge on it.

The real one may be better because it has a better speed controller or battery have a higher energy efficiency...ill go with the speed controller, no mater how powerful your motor is if the ESC is not good then it would not provide enough current, and luckily its way more expensive to integrate a good ESC there fore why this knockoffs are not as good.

Can somebody tell me where you will run into fake battery tools? I see fake batteries all the time everywhere but usually not the tools. Any good tips to spot fakes like packaging or anything?

Its scary how closely they resemble each other. I wonder if any of my tools are actually counterfeit. I more than likely will never know.

Well the fake cost 1/4th and performs at 1/4th so technically I see no issue. With that said anyone on the dewalt platform is likely a professional, and if your tools are making money, then buy the real ones the investment is always worth it

Which genuine impact model would fake be comparable to?

[Mcklusky]

I only care about how long a tool is going to last!
