Lowest I've seen this go by a decent amount. This is the top dog 20v impact with 1200 fastening 1750 breakaway torque. I'm not ready to retire my 899 for it (probably would just get a 900 anyway) but if you need the big boy this is the best deal so far.

It's SUPER heavy....but this is one of my favorite tools. Get some good impact rated sockets, I did have a chrome on come apart on me and it was....eventful. But that's not the tool's fault, it's mine.

I know the pain of those. A $20 weighted socket and the DCF900 or even DCF899 would have had no issue with it though.

I have the 899, it could not get it off

thanks will help changing out oil filters
It would be dumb to use this to remove an oil filter.. Only use it while installing one.. Oh and give an extra couple seconds when tightening on the drain plug. LOL

Not the DCF899 alone. Use one of these sockets, it is the key.

I have removed many Honda crank bolts with the 899 and a weighted socket. It comes off quickly when a standard socket wouldn't budge it no matter how long you hammer in it.


Even with the DCF900 and probably the DCf961, you may run into some crank bolts that won't come off without a weighted socket. This because the movement of the engine prevents the impact from building torque as you hammer.

Quote from ScottD2 :
This isn't realistic or accurate. The 20V (really 18V) ecosystem is absolutely massive. You've got dozens upon dozens of major manufacturers that make tools in this category. Even if the official manufacturer was to stop making batteries there would always be a third party willing to step in and produce them. This battery standard is not at risk of dying in our lifetime.

Pretty much all pneumatic and corded tools have long been superceded by battery tools in power and capability. The only reason to buy pneumatic these days is if you prefer the form factor and weight, for example with brad guns or nail guns.

The advantage of corded tools in 2024 is price or for long run times on power hungry tools, for example grinders where it's nice to not have to charge and swap many batteries if you are using the tools for hours.
Lol, Shh..... just let Mr. No experience smarty pants full of himself remain in ignorant bliss. Don't bother to tell him that many career mechanics and construction workers have found the lack of lugging around an air hose or cord is more than worth while for the tradeoffs. Beyond no more cord/air hose that's a massive bother, no more messy oil. No more having to bring a compressor with you especially to a worksite with no power, then you gotta have a generator too and don't forget the gasoline to power it. Just swap out the battery in seconds and your back up and running. Nevermind that cordless powertools have far larger ecosystem and selection of tools, they can also be far more powerful. The pneumatic impact wrenches have been surpassed in power by the dewalt 900 impact wrench, the dewalt 961 is almost a third more powerful according to the torque test channel. The advantages of cordless tools vs pneumatic or corded is already being realized and adopted across most industries out there. The convenience of cordless is enough, but add increase in power, versatility and selection is the reason many and by now already most professionals are using both and ultimately completely switching to cordless.

I'll second this. Weighted sockets can make a big difference. Force = Mass x Acceleration. More mass = more force. I'm pretty sure Torque Test Channel has a video about them.

Has nothing to do with f=ma, and everything to do with resonance.

I have this and it is a beast. Use it on semis at work paired with a 6ah. It's heavy, but it will break everything free

To remove the crank bolt, use the Honda V6 Crank Holding Tool. I believe mine is made by Lisley. That, a weighted socket and the dcf900 removed it.

Quote from fewlio :
Uh so let's see. I've got a hammer from 1930, a radio from the 40s and TV from the 1950s. Guess which one still works? There's no standard battery, there are about 10 different battery types and that's just from the big makers. they'll greatly improve the batteries and the capabilities of various tools, and you'll be thousands of dollars invested into current stuff that's long gone from stores or any form of support/repair. Anyone that isn't in some sort of money making trade with this stuff , and that buys thousand(s) of dollars worth of this stuff is going to be buying same/similar units again and be that many dollars poorer. In case you hadn't noticed, you can hardly buy corded tools and the ones still on the market aren't cheap, they're pro level stuff, high priced, and they continue them because they don't want to lose tradesmen/specialists that demand their continued existence. The tool companies are getting rid of anything corded and selling cordless versions because they know a dumb mark when they see one. Meanwhile I'm buying all the quality air and corded tools I can bc momma didn't raise no fool!!

Yeah, Dewalt last battery design was the top selling tool battery in the world. They discontinued those tools after twenty years and discontinued the batteries after 27 years. This time around, they didn't discontinue the form factor, they are just upgrading the tech inside the batteries. They keep making better tools that use the same form factor battery. There really is no reason dewalt would kill this battery design. It works well, it lends itself to small batteries and large and it can adapt to new battery tech (powerstack).

Dewalt did just release a bigger battery design for industrial tools, but those aren't replacing these. They are huge for equipment that was normally gas powered.

Honda V6? It's the new benchmark of impact wrenches lol
I can attest to that. Honda minivan was a beast to get that bolt off. Friend's Ingersol Rand air impact took it off in seconds even though my Ridgid did nothing.
