Milwaukee vs DeWalt mid-torque cordless impact wrench

I use DeWalt 20v products for most everything around the house and have never had an issue with reliability/power. That said, I have a friend in an auto based industry, and their shops have been switching from DeWalt to Milwaukee cordless products. Their tools are slightly smaller and lighter with the same power. Don't think you can go wrong with either

I would go with a fullsize 1/2" like the DCF899 if you want one tool to do all that. I have the DCF899 and a 3/8" version and the 3/8" ok for lighter tasks but no mid-torque wrench is going to sink a lag bolt well if it hits a knot. Especially considering that max torque rating are for take-off applications, not driving. I have 60V FlexVolt stuff too, slapping on of those batteries to the DCF899 is how I go over using the 5Ah battery it came with. It's a heavy combo but it will drive big lags into landscape timbers with zero issue.

Milwaukee unless you already have dewalt stuff, everything I’ve read says Milwaukee’s batteries are the best around and they have the widest selection of tools. I have the the m12 stubby Milwaukee impact and it is the most used tool I own next to screwdrivers. It breaks lug nuts loose with ease and gets under lawnmowers to take the blades off without having to lift it up much.

I tend to agree

... however he was asking which was the better of these two.

I’m a Milwaukee 18v guy. I’m up to 19 tools

I have the high torque fuel 1/2”. I love it. It actually failed but has a 5 year warranty. I believe dewalts are 3.

Mine was fully covered even shipping for replacement.

I find more product offering from Milwaukee line but dewalt has some really good options
