Then just because – show it running down some crazy large timber screw.Įitherway keep us posted looks good. Just some basic first thoughts from an automotive idea. and the go over to some like a Explorer and pull the front brakes off – same idea – small enough to get in place – more than enough torque to speed the job up. Might also do something like pull the rear shocks out. Key being how easy/fast it spins off – and then is compact enough to reach back there and do the same in less space. Also torqued to something like 180 if I recall. Then – reach behind the brake caliper with the same driver and pull out the caliper bracket to knuckle bolts. stepone – take off the lug nuts of something like an F150 – supposed to be torqued to 150 ft lbs. Looks like while I still really want the 923 model (I think – 1/2 with the buttons) I also have a eye for the cheaper model too.Įither way what I would use it on. (yes I know, I know – but I already said 300 ft lbs is a bit too much for 3/8 drive anyway) Meanwhile if you need help testing either impact wrench I’d be glad to help especially with the 1/2 model as I have 1/2 sockets for that – I don’t have any 3/8 impact sockets – but would run those with basic sockets. Say both of them running in a 3 inch #10 construction screw Teaser: New Dewalt ATOMIC 3/8″ Brushless Impact WrenchĪwesome but yes I want to see how that runs compared to the 887 – not that i need a new impact but the size difference and running would be interesting. New Dewalt Atomic Brushless Impact Driver is Amazingly Compact Dewalt is off to a very exciting fourth quarter with all of these hot new releases. If you want one of your own, it looks like the kit just started to ship.Īnd, if you’re wondering, the Dewalt Atomic impact wrenches are also gloriously compact. Now, if you excuse me, I’ve got to run back to the workshop – I don’t think I can wait until tomorrow to drive the first test screws. This won’t be the first thing I check with impact drivers in the future, but it’s something I’ll at least be aware of. I can honestly say that I never thought of checking a drill or driver for trigger switch finger clearance. Meaning, I think that readers who expressed concerns about the tool being tool small, based on its online product images, might change their minds upon seeing the impact in person. While incredibly compact, it doesn’t give off the same “impossibly compact” feeling as in the white-background product images. I’ve got a series of testing lined up for tomorrow, and so I should have some feedback on its feel and performance shortly. All I wanted to check for was to see if the new Dewalt 20V Max Atomic impact driver was too compact, and I really don’t think it is. Is it still possible to pin your trigger finger between the tool and something else? Of course – I’m sure there are obstructions or obstacles that can change things. Granted, I have medium-sized hands, but even users with larger hands should find ample trigger switch clearance. I can overlap two fingers to the first knuckle – there’s enough clearance where most people should be able to slide a finger over and away from the trigger switch. I depressed it slightly before releasing the pressure, which is why the light’s still on. In the photo above, my pointer finger is resting on the impact’s trigger, but not pressing it in. So, I wanted to see if I could or would pin my finger on flat surfaces. It’s not enough pay attention to the screw, you have to watch your trigger finger too! Oh my word, I’ve pinned my finger so many times. Michael Hammer’s comment stuck with me in particular: Here’s the question I tried to answer: should users be worried about potentially pinning their fingers between their tool and a work surface? When I posted a preview of the new Dewalt Atomic impact driver last month, a couple of readers expressed this as a valid concern.
