DR99 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7s07HtZwJbY&feature=em-uploademailI wonder where they got the designs from because I imagine they picked them from the SBD portfolio, and just rebranded them as Dewalt. Conductor should be able to tell if they came from another brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodstockva Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I saw these at my local Lowes a couple days ago.....it will be interesting to see which brand they are rebranded from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brien Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Those are sharp and look like they have a lot of power. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regopit Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 My question is why now it is a little late in the game. IR one of the biggest air tool makers is moving into 18V. You would think that DeWalt would try to improve the line of 20V 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSionnach Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I'm no Conductor but it looks to me like they took some from 3 SBD companies, Mac, Sidchrome, and USAG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasShetley Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 To me the impact looks like the proto with some slight differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSionnach Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 To me the impact looks like the proto with some slight differences.To me all the impacts from SBD pneumatic producers look almost identical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyMcGrath Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 I have the Set and love it! Looks great sitting in my new Dewalt rolling tool chest as well!It's really a great set. Of course with most air tools, your air setup is really the make or break and having an 80 gallon 5HP IR in my garage helps a lot. I also have the Kobalt Kit and comparatively, there's only slight benefits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel L. Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 The only thing I can say about the Impact is not enough torque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel L. Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 I tend to hate air ratchets. When tightening a bolt here is how it works.It pulls on your hand like a leash on a small Chiwawa Then within a fraction of a second the Chiwawa turns into a Great Dane with rabies chasing a rabbit and takes your arm and twists it against the nearest object shattering every bone in your hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmikez Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Yea I'm very used to that and I already used to using them I'm looking for a small 1/4and big one 3/8 or 1/2 I have snap on ones at the shop and I never bring them home when I'm working on cars I always forget and if I do bring them home I forget to take back and then I'm stuck at work without them and I'm not trying to spend as much as I did on those just for the house but thanks though sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madman_us Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 whats the different between an air ratchet and air impactor ? does the same thing right - loosen nuts, bolts etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel L. Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 One has up to 80 foot pounds of torque one can have over 3000 foot pounds of torque. Its due to the fact that the air ratchet is just a air motor usually, this causes there well known kickback, and limits there torque, some very high quality air ratchets have the same style of device as the an air impact but much smaller. An air impact has an air motor attached to a spinning hammer that comes up against a mating surface witch is connected to the tool head, and when tool comes up against resistance the hammer separates makes half a rotation to build up energy and then hits the mating surface and then repeats that cycle, the cycle produces very little kick back witch is why they are favored when high amounts of torque are needed.Here is a video In the case of guys who are not mechanics are concerned:Its the same difference between a drill and an impact driver, except the power is supplied by a vanned rotor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
