Thank you for posting that! That was the video I've been missing. I know from using it that the 890 outperforms the spec but I hadn't found where it had been proven/quantified.
Yes. In fact, someone here has the Mac and said that it covers some mid torque duties (but I forgot who). It's interesting that Dewalt hasn't updated the listed torque figures, or at least they're listing tightening torque figures which puts them at a disadvantage in the marketing game.
Okay, let's add some more confusion here...
The DCF890 appears to be the same as the discontinued DCF886 except with a 3/8" square anvil instead of the 1/4" hex chuck. The 886 is the original brushless impact driver, single speed, replaced by the 887.
Now for some torque values:
886 - 1500 in-lbs (125 ft-lbs)
887 - 1825 in-lbs (152 ft-lbs)
890 - 150 ft-lbs.
So if we draw some comparisons between the impact drivers and their equivalent 3/8" impact wrench versions, it looks something like this:
886 (125 ft-lbs) --> 890 (150 ft-lbs)
887 (152 ft-lbs --> 887 w/anvil mod (??? ft-lbs)
If the 3/8" anvil nets a little more torque than the 1/4" hex chuck, the 887 w/anvil mod would be the most powerful 3/8" wrench, even more powerful than the 890. Plausible?
I think he was using a 5ah in the video and I've done all my own testing with a 5ah too. That could make some part of the difference.
Possibly, but the 4AH batteries are 10 cell, 5S2P arrangements too. I would think they'd put out close to the same current as the 5AH batteries. I wouldn't expect a difference like you see dropping down to the 5 cell compact batteries.
A little update on the Dewalt DCG 426 die grinder, I have to say it works better than the corded version. The three speed ranges and soft start are a big plus, the down side is you need two wrenches to change the bit. Ergonomically it is very comfortable, fits good in hand and spins a real 1/4" but with good control
Nice! My neighbor's got one. I know exactly when he's using it. Ask me how.
Can never have too many.
Had a little surprise of my own delivered today. I pre-ordered this the minute it became available and then promptly forgot about it.
First impressions are that it's HUGE! This is not going to be something you weild one handed. That said, it's a lot less cumbersome than dragging out the electric pressure washer.
It will not replace a pressure washer for some tasks at just 550 psi but for most of my uses, it will do just fine. It comes with a tube and a filter you can use to draw water straight out of a bucket or you can attach a garden hose. I've only experimented with the turbo tip and it's pretty awesome. It also accepted a 9 ah flexvolt battery which surprised me.
Hope to see more of this kind of thing from Dewalt (transfer pump?)
I have some Dewalt cordless power tools with the shorter 18V base that I still use (impact driver, impact wrench and jig saw). Anybody have any experience with the 18V-to-20V adapter? It looks like a decent purchase that comes with an adapter, charger and priced right with two compact 20V batteries.
Anyone have issues still with the hi end flexvolt blower and getting shocked at the handle or did they resolve that issue?
