Jronman Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 I wonder why the compact is single speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Framer joe Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Someone said 350 fastening torque that will put it way behind the Fuel at 450 but ,, still nice to have a compact mid size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggie Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Is that a 1/2" compact Brushless or is that just the 3/8" next to the mid torque for a size comparison? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 I thought there was a new compact version but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeating3 Posted August 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 It's a brushless compact 1/2 inch according to the post I saw this picture in. But I don't know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggie Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 I hope so, I don't know what's taken them so long, but I just couldn't really tell from the picture and on jimbos post he has the mid torque listed but nothing about a compact.

midogrumpy Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 compact version (maybe alsoreffered to low entry model) is DCF888 info is on their web site cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 The 888 is mediocre. Had one and sold it. It doesn't compare well to the Fuel line at all. Fuel impact wrenches are still where it's at for performance I feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 dcf888 impact wrench? I thought the dcf888 was the tool connect version of the 887? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggie Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Still no real confirmation either way but everything I've read there doesn't seem to be a 1/2" compact brushless impact wrench. I agree with Bremon, fuel is where it's at with impact wrenches currently but competition never hurts and I'm invested in both brands so I could jump back over pretty easily.

Biggie Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Don't get me wrong I'm sure they're nice and I'm sure I'll have one in the near future haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Nose cone is an interesting design looks like someone kit it with a sledge a few times to compact it down lol but everyone's a critic right? Just glad the yellow guys finally have some decent impact wenches Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Framer joe Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 Not as good as Red jimbo ...but it's a start.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Well, i'll tell you one thing with my Fuel mid torque..... I'm glad I got it and i'm glad I waited for one to come out. I knew I would need more than a compact impact could give me.... but wasn't about the pay for and have the boat anchor of a high torque when i totally don't need it,... ok i'm embellishing the boat anchor analogy lol... But if this one can keep up with the red version, those that are on they yellow platform rejoice!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggie Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 It's painful to watch but it's the only video I can find on youtube and gives a little more info on the mid torque. I would have thought they would have learned their lesson with the dcf887 that the precision mode isn't good for anything and I think it'll be the pretty pointless on this mid torque. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the precision mode on the mid range impact wrench has been fine tuned to work better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggie Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Yea I probably shouldn't be so critical of it before it's even out I just know the auto stop thing on my milwaukee compact is just a wasted space on the mode selector. But I also see the fuel gen 2 high torque has the same feature in reverse where it slows down after impacting but reviews I've seen on it say it's too slow and not practical.
