DiverDn Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 What are the part numbers for the latest Milwaukee or DeWalt 1/2" impact drivers? I could have used one last night and didn't have one, so now I think I'm going to pick one up. I'm not trying to start a flame war, but what are some of the pluses and minus's of each? Thanks, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 DCF 899 or 2763-20 Jimbo Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Edit: terms of pros or cons, very similar in performance, dewalt is 3 speed Milwaukee is 2. Milwaukee has an electronic switch to just push a button where dewalt has a slide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Also do you want compact or high torque? No flame wars, we're grown adults who know personal preference and opinions are allowed and respect their decisions to choose differently than I might, but get the MILWAUKEE, you have to get the MILWAUKEE, better do yourself a favor and buy MILWAUKEE!!!!! heheh kidding ok happy shopping!

Stercorarius Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 DeWalt: Pros: Uses your current batteries if you have Dewalt batteries. Cons: Doesn't use your batteries if you don't already have Dewalt batteries. Milwaukee: Pros Uses your current batteries if you have Milwaukee batteries. Cons: Doesn't use your current batteries if you don't already have Milwaukee batteries. That's seriously all it comes down to. Just buy into the line you already invested in. I have extensive experience with both and neither provides anything that would justify buying into a new battery lineup. Both stellar tools. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiverDn Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 All great replies. Torque is is more important than speed. Use will be around the farm on heavy equipment. Im invested in the dewalt 20 volt line But would not be opposed to buying into Milwaukees line. I've had great luck with their customer service. Thanks again john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiverDn Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 I intended to put this in the general power tool forum. If if a moderator could move it great. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again john I'm surprised no one else mentioned this, but you're looking for impact wrenches. Drivers are usually 1/4" and take bits instead of sockets. If you're invested in the Dewalt line, I'm sorry about that ;). Might as well stick with what you know. The 899 is supposed to be as powerful as Milwaukee's big boy 2763.

The 899 is supposed to be as powerful as Milwaukee's big boy 2763. We all knew what he meant so no point in bringing it up after he got the part numbers. I didn't really look today but IHL in Canada almost got me to bite on a Dewalt Impact because of the price, but it was not terribly great after buying the battery. http://www.ihlcanada.com/search.asp?keyword=impact+wrench&search=Search The thing to consider when looking at that site is that all the prices are in CAD which is currently .78 to $1 USD. We have a thread on that site buried in the deals section if you have any questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR99 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 There used to be a big difference in which color impact wrench you bought. Now they all have brushless impacts with similar spec's now. Actually Snap On has some of the worst specs but the highest price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
