See the Dewalt torque figure is 950 nm , both directions ? cany remember the exact Milwaukie figures it is supposed to be higher slackening performance wise it always seems to be a leapfrogging business Milwaukie at the top , makita or hitachi or somebody else about to jump in with bigger better or faster or suchlike.
milwakee, ryobi, rigid, Aeg and hoover amongst other brands are all owned by techtronic industries, i dont know if festool are in that mix but they arent in the lineup anyways.
originally german they are now in the usa as well i see, its good gear but Ave gave their dear saw a fair good dissin.
there is a lot of things that could be said about this video and its participant but leaving that aside, this is similar to the one i use now all be it a 15v with less frills.
my man here tests one for extreme eventualities it would seem....
if ony for the laugh of it, or in my case the cringing its worth a look anyways...
dont forget, this is his new drill, the one he is going to keep, its not a test it til it dies test, ITS HIS DRILL...

Tests on You Tube show Milwaukee not able to get the figures claimed, Snap on actually has the heaviest anvil

Aye heard about the anvils snapping having said that wheel nuts that Iv been beat to slacken with the Milwaukee have needed a 3 foot bar basically far too tight anyway . My problem is not comparing like for like going from a Seely to the Milwaukee

I have the dewalt here,I'm happy with it ,the batteries last for ages,my only criticisms would be that the brake isn't quite quick enough and the forward reverse selector is a small bit flimsy.
It's a powerful gun,and as with all battery guns ,it can be be difficult to judge tightening torque,it could be my imagination,but I find it easier judge how tight a bolt is with air.The only other disadvantage is there size,they don't fit in a tight spot as easy as an air gun,that said,I use the battery impact 90 percent of the time now.
The dewalt is used every day for garage use,it will be interesting to see how long it lasts.I would say that it's on par with the milwaukee.

Another problem here in Ireland with the dewalt ,is that they don't sell the impact with the hog ring in the set with the batteries,it comes with the detent pin,to get the hog ring ,you have to buy one as a bare tool,which I did because I had other dewalt tools and have batteries to match.The detent pin doesn't suit for mechanicing.

To be honest I prefer the detent pin on mine to the ring that my old Makita had, it was a pain the first few changes, but over time has got better, pull on the socket and a quick trigger pull at the same time and it's off. The Makita was for ever falling off, not good when your 7m up in the air.
We all now have the Dewalts on our work, all 1/2 inch and both sizes of gun, the dcf899 is a good tool 2 of the lads have them now and they pack a fair punch, the rest of us use the DCF880 which are just as good and pack enough for what we need them for. We had a couple of the Makita's but they were not as powerful and both burnt out after just over a years work. We now try and keep everything standard between them all as we can swap batteries around, they get some abuse and are out in all weathers and just keep going.

Did anyone else see the Milwaukee mag drill at Lamma? It looked awesome, but then it ought to be at the special show price of £1000 + VAT!

Yes I've seen that on there website before, the fixed state magnet is a better idea than having elcro magnets imo, just a lot of money as you say

is it just me or is that damn cheap for what it is????
its a 3/4 drive but a bursting torque of 1600Nm.....
it looks like an animal of a tool.
