Turner85 Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Today I received a makita dtd129 in the post I had ordered online for a friend. I recommended this impact driver having never used it but because I've been so impressed with my recent makita purchases of brushless jigsaw, circular saw and sds. So I decided to do a quick toolfight when he arrived to pick it up and pitted it against my dewalt dcf886, we drove some 80mm x 5mm screws into an old damp railway sleeper and the dewalt absolutely smoked it. I'm not too sure how the specs compare on these 2 drills but is there anything in the specs that justify these results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hathatyl Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Sure,heres a few according to their websites makita dtd129 - 118 ft lbs, 0-2,500rpm, 0-3,200 impacts per minute dewalt dcf886 - 125 ft lbs, 0-2,800rpm, 0-3,200 impacts per minute So the dewalt has better "on paper" specs. looks like your field test show the same! good job Turner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kornomaniac Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Dtd148 would be the correct impact tot test against the dewalt.The dtd129 is purely a cheaper impact made on privé. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 I have the 886 and that thing screws like butter. I like the Milwaukee fuel with the 3 mode plus the self tapping mode, I can see where that would come in handy.JimboSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan2425 Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 The DTD148 would smoke that Dewalt There a few guys that have them on the forum and i bet they would say the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
