3/8 Brushless inpact gun when?

[Speedybon]

Does anybody know it Makita is making a 3/8 impact gun soon. I have both the 1/2 smaller and Larger impacts.

[CATERPILLAR]

Only one I know of is the makita  XWT06Z and it's an older one but only one I can find  merry Christmas

[JimboS1ice]

Might be able to get an 3/8" drive and swap it out on the conpact

Milwaukee is the only tool company that seems to have a full depth of Impact Wrenches.

That was what started my switch to red

All a compact impact impact wrench is an impact driver with a different anvil, but for some reason the other companies are slow or won't make one.

Its not like it is hard to make a 3/8 impact. Dewalt just released a brushless 3/8 this year. They act like there is hardly any demand or something.

Yeah and I think they just did what you did with your brushless impact driver and swapped the anvil. They didn't give it any extra power like Milwaukee or makita did with their compact impact wrenches. Here is the link to it on the dewalt website. http://www.dewalt.com/en-us/products/power-tools/impact-drivers-and-wrenches/20v-max-xr-38-compact-impact-wrench-bare/dcf890b

Yea they did? I'm really thinking of buying into the M18 line as I like the amount of tools they offer and I already have a decent amount of their M12 line

Do it, between the lighting, impacts and the misc tools...it's a great line to buy into. Also it has a huge secondary market, you should never have to pay retail for a new battery(and I'm not talking about knockoff batteries). Pretty much anyone that sees my Milwaukee stuff want to buy in, some are leaving Snap On for impact wrenches...M18 has better power and cheaper.

That's kinda lame, at least try to tweak it to 200lbs or so [emoji1361]

I own most of Milwaukee's impact wrenches for work they are Badass? And that's coming from a Dewalt fanboy to ? The 2763 is my beast and love using it anytime I can to show that bad boy off 

[kornomaniac]

I would hope that Makita releases a 3/8 impact wrench in both the 10.8 and 18v

 

Like what they did with their ' sub compact ' black drill and impact driver.

I'm sure they could easily pull it off

Also the Snap On warranty is pretty horrible 1 year on the tool and battery. That's pretty bad in today's cordless world

Hell my ryobi drills all came with 3yr warranties

[DR99]

I know snap on is worried because they are use in a commercial environment but still the prices they charge it should be 3 years no questions asked warranty

 

[Stercorarius]

Snap on has currently become cheap imported garbage with little warranty coverage and they will still charge you for it like Jesus Christ made them himself, not Jesus Gomez-Garcia and a 12 year old taiwanese boy. Snap on is total horseshit. I'm done with them. I'll stick to proto gearwrench and sunex. At least their important crap doesn't come with the pretention that it will cure your hemmeroids if you stick it up your ass.

Nice descriptions!!

I didn't realize it was that short, wow.

I think Snap On is using one of the European companies for their power tools. I can't remember which one(Hilti maybe)...which they overcharge for.

[NicholasShetley]

I have used the newest snap on "high" torque 18v impact wrench and it isn't impressive at all. One of my classmates in tech school had one and there were countless times he had to grab my Milwaukee to get the job done. There is no hiding that the Mikwaukee blows the snap on out of the water in every way. It isn't worth it at the student price and it damn sure isn't worth it at full price.

been waiting for an official dewalt brushless 3/8 i/wrench for a while now. i have even done the dcf886 anvil swap ( credits to Jimbo ) just to say i have a 3/8 brushless wrench. at my work i have 4 impacts in the 20v dewalt line-up. 2 of which are wrenches. the older 883 and the 886 anvil swap. i need multiples because i have to deal with multiple size fasteners and time is money. switching sockets constantly on the same impact is a nuisance for me.  

 

as for this new brushless 3/8 wrench. on paper it looks identical to the 886 with just an anvil swap but at PREMIUM price. acmetools.com has it listed at $179 as just a bare tool. that is very high. if it truly is the 886 with a different anvil, you could have this at a much lower price if you dont mind doing the jimbo hack. i could also be totally wrong and there has been an improvement in the guts of the gun. 

 

would really love to see jimbo buying this and doing a side by side comparison to his 886 hack..... but at $179, i doubt it. 

[joemontague]

Where do you get that 3/8 anvil for the 886 again jimbo  or anyone  that knows

[Stercorarius]

Do we know if it works with the 887 yet?

My all time favorite 3/8 impact was the M12 fuel. That thing was honestly the most useful, ergonomic, and convenient tool I've ever used. It's on my list to replace right after an 899 and Metabo grinder.
