Also, there’s no way this thing is anywhere close to 5 horsepower. The maximum power a North American standard wall outlet can provide is 15 amps at 120 volts, which equates to 1800 watts. In practice you won’t even find that much since motors are not 100% efficient–to get 1 HP’s worth of work output it takes more than 1 HP worth of electricity input. Anytime someone claims a plug-in appliance has more than about 1-1.5 HP it’s some kind of misleading marketing nonsense, since any higher is physically impossible.
On the other side, DeWalt makes the DCF897 3/4″ impact wrench. No matter how you slice it, Milwaukee provides more and better options for maximum impact wrench power. In the end, however, if you consider the flagship models, this one seems like much less of a contest than the cordless hammer drills. DeWalt boasts more than 200 products in its 20V Max line before adding in their new FlexVolt line of tools or their corded products.
If the incredibly thin separator between the positive and negative sides of a battery gets punctured, you can easily wind up with a fire. Which is why I’m pretty excited — if maybe prematurely — that Stanley Black & Decker has just announced it plans to put Amionx’s “SafeCore” battery technology into an actual product. I say prematurely, because neither Amionx nor Stanley would give me the foggiest notion when or where the first SafeCore battery might appear.

In 1992, Black & Decker introduced a few models of hand power tools under the dewalt tools label to the consumer and tradesman market. These tools were merely rebadged models from the Black & Decker “Professional” and “Kodiak” lines with a new yellow housing and an expanded warranty and service policy. Both lines were shortly thereafter discontinued in favor of the DeWalt label and its growing popularity. In a market survey of the United States done by Black & Decker before its reintroduction, the name DeWalt was recognized by 70% percent of tradespersons. It’s not that I’m champing at the bit for a safer battery for my DeWalt impact driver and leaf blower, or my Black & Decker string trimmer or pole saw.
The physics seem to work in my head… but does it seem appealing to any of you? Because a tiny vacuum is a quiet one… which works well for apartments or condos… thin walls dewalt Hand tools and all that… And the price seems right for this use more than it does as a portable tool. A full Dust Extraction system you just have to add a giant collector bin to?

No matter how you slice it, Milwaukee takes the entire impact wrench segment in our opinion. The Milwaukee High-torque impact wrench remains the most powerful cordless model we’ve tested. As such, it edges out the DeWalt DCF899 impact wrench in power. DeWalt had lost its “solo” position as the top tool brand and allowed Milwaukee to compete for Pro dominance. Now, DeWalt seems to have caught up, even making some impressive moves with respect to its FlexVolt line of 60V tools.
Those 20-volt lithium-ion battery cartridges you stick into your drill, circular saw and weed whacker are all pretty much the same thing. Like the sidewinders, the FlexVolt vs Milwaukee rear handle saw dilemma suffers from the similarity of these tools. Both saws eject dust very well without a vacuum attached, and the DeWalt might fill up your tool belt if you’re not careful! Once Milwaukee started down the path to lithium-ion power tools, however—starting heavily in 2008—things began to change. Big Red exploded into the market with M18 Lithium-ion batteries—followed soon after by their M12 line.
