Chicago Pneumatic 8848 cordless impact

Chicago Pneumatic 8848 cordless 1/2" impact wrench

I am looking for a new 1/2" impact and came across this one. I have a lot of CP air tools and they are great performers. The specs look good and it can be had for a little over $300 with two 20v 4Ah batteries. Anyone ever used one of these? I was also looking at the new Dewalt impact.

I'll let you know about the dewalt dcf899h as soon as it comes in next week, I'll compare it to my ir2135timax and nitrocat 1250k

That sounds good. Keep me posted.

Got 3 new ones in today and will do a video of it as promised. Willing to let the other 2 go for a good $

Id get a Makita one. I love mine.

 

[uglyjacko]

I haven't looked at the makita one yet, what's the model number so I can look it up

 

[uglyjacko]

I've look at the makita, and all their offerings have nothing on this dewalt. But can it take off a honda crank bolt is the question that I hear in regards to all impact wrench.

Those are great tools. Here's a review I did on the Hilti.

Red or yellow is the only way to go. It's too bad dewalt took almost 3 years to play catch up to milwaukee. And just as they do, milwaukee brings out One-Key and blows them out of the water again.

BTW, that CP looks pretty good!

That's not even in the same class as the ones he posted.

I love my Milwaukee.

For the money, the CP8848 is going to be very hard to beat. It has a lot of power, 2 4.0ah batteries, & a great warranty (5yr tool/3yr batteries).

I have a full review (with torque testing) coming up on it & the extended anvil CP8848-2.

I also have the new Dewalt DCF899HP2 coming up.....

Soon we will all be able to see EXACTLY who ranks where with the torque ratings....I am looking forward to it. (CP, Dewalt, IR, & Milwaukee)

 

[uglyjacko]

WoodstockVA please don't say anything bad about the dewalt yet, as I'm in the process of listing 2 of them for sale.

 

[uglyjacko]

As promised it's a two part video thanks to my cell dying and have to switch to another cell, but enjoy and don't take it out on me as I'm not a pro at doing reviews.

Thats what a 3/4" air impact is for I have found nothing else that will do it every single time.

 

[uglyjacko]

But you got to give credit to these cordless, as they are close in power of 3/4 impact and more than some, plus they're cordless.

 

[killerb87]

The two batteries and the power of the CP make it hard to look past. There are so many good impacts out now. The CP and the Dewalt are hard to beat for the money.
