Brushless compact and mid torque impacts next to the full sized version. (photo credit: toolboxbuzz) Not sure of specs….
Late to the game but still nice
With the new fan behind!
oooo those are nice 👍
I wonder why the compact is single speed?
Someone said 350 fastening torque that will put it way behind the Fuel at 450 but ,, still nice to have a compact mid size
Is that a 1/2″ compact Brushless or is that just the 3/8″ next to the mid torque for a size comparison?
I thought there was a new compact version but I could be wrong.
It’s a brushless compact 1/2 inch according to the post I saw this picture in. But I don’t know for sure.
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.
compact version (maybe alsoreffered to low entry model) is
DCF888
info is on their web site
cheers
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.
dcf888 impact wrench? I thought the dcf888 was the tool connect version of the 887?
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.
This new mid torque looks nice…..
Don’t get me wrong I’m sure they’re nice and I’m sure I’ll have one in the near future haha.
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

Not as good as Red jimbo …but it’s a start..
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!!

looks more compact than read but idk if it actually is.

It does look kind of strange but actually if you look at a parts breakdown of a compact impact the nose cone has a similar shape if you take off the light ring.
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.
Nice….

Maybe the precision mode on the mid range impact wrench has been fine tuned to work better.
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.

with the one key version I’m sure you could change the rpm of that feature or if a tool connect version comes out do the same.
