Well that's what happens when you put your full body weight into shit lmao
You should take your meds an hour before you tape a show 🙃
2:58 Your pointing at the air Intake instead of exhaust. the front 4 holes are the exhaust.
4:55 There ain't no gearing there (or at all); you are aiming at the hammer.
I don't know man i watched several of your videos and although I don't agree on everything its still very interesting to watch.
Also my DCF887 behaves way different than yours. It overdrives like a MFer on 2 and 3 and has no hammer on 1 at all, it just beeps and shuts of.
Found this video because my 887 just failed. Been running it daily for about 4 years, rain sleet snow whatever. Been very happy with it up until now. Mine overheated just like this one. Kinda sucks, but for the money it's made and abuse it's taken I'd still buy another.
Dcf 887 czy milwake girl fid 2 ,co lepsze?????
That fire extinguisher have seen better days
american made!
Mine started messing up. Went to limp mode. I've seen repair parts. Would this be the motor it self?
If you bought a motorbike, you wouldn't use it as a tractor………
Dewalt should've added vents in front of the BLDC stator windings, a cooling fan, and used thicker gauge wire for the stator windings.
the brand-whoring in the comments is REAL!
im an orange guy through and through, so yes im salty, but im still shocked that you guys think ridgid an "apprentice" tool and dewalt is a "pro" tool when dewalt is the only brand to ever literally go up in smoke in a ttr (to my knowledge).
So great for home not for building a house, got it.
Vince. I do new construction hvac. And i can say that ive smoked through 3 of these 887s. And all of them have been from falling less than 6ft (ladder) each one cracked at the base of the batteries. 887s need improvement
This is no lie , but lol , I use milwaukee for lag crews anything heavy duty with impact , otherwise you need dewalt midrange impact it holds up just fine , half the time people are using these tools for unintended purposes it's just that milwaukee standard impact can handle those unintended purposes , not that milwakee standard impact won't eventually burn up to though it can just handle bigger jobs being an standard impact , if your driving big hardware you need a midrange impact with dewalt and your golden , if your driving deck screws maybe small tapcons your good with the standard dewalt , it's common sense really use the tool for it's intended purpose and your ok , milwaukee has more ass for it's standard impact that's all there is to it
08:00 – 08:16 the best words from Vince.
It 2019 now, just bought a DCD 776 Cordless Combi Drill in July with a wobbling chuck (from a Dewalt authorised South East Asia Distributor).
Most Dewalt Cordless drill chuck still wobble even with the high end models, (refering to several videos from Youtubers, dated back from year 2014).

It seem Dewalt mass production teams put their priority towards QUANTITY rather than QUALITY.
Not all Dewalt are perfectly built, try other less known and cheaper brands, some might suprise you.
I have just burnt out my 7 month old 887 impact driver. Darn dewalt. Had to pull up old decking & smoked after undoing about 60 50mm bugle screws
Bought the exact same driver from amazon. Worked for 5 seconds and burned. Same problem as the second DeWalt in video. I'm waiting for the replacement from amazon.
Dewalt 887, 3 way tool.
8 seconds its a Driver, 8 seconds its a Smoke detector, 8 seconds its a Flashlight.
Did you happen to test a DCF885?
I hate to point this out but, 1. The guy is not wearing gloves so I feel like the heat dispersion isn't as good. 2. Who puts all there weight on a impact like that anyways? If you were hand tightening with a screwdriver, I'd understand. The point of the power tool is so you don't physically exert yourself. And seriously, I could put my free hand on the back of this tool without blocking the vent. Sure, the overheat protection could be better but it didn't fail from extended use you dummies, it fail cause the ridiculous weight he exerted onto the tool created a ridiculous amount of resistance. Did the put equal distribute your weight exerted onto the tool?… Probably not. Maybe the root cause isn't even the impact or the person but the flexvolt itself. Why don't you do a video on that. Only one of those those has a capacity to run a 60v battery…
The 887 motor is like a new subwoofer if you push it to the max right out of the box it’ll blow, the resin needs time to cure maybe
Dude you remind me so much of the guy from after prison show. You guys could be twins 😂
I said pffffft.
That’s why I transitioned to Milwaukee because of that, we had dewalt cordless tools at work do that.
i got dewalt and most people on the site im on have it , its obvious more popular than GO-SLOWBY or NO-WORKEE
Looks like the rigid is the better engerniered tool.
Although brushless motors aren't meant to get as hot perhaps they have less heat tolerance??
So basically you didn't really abuse it you just waited for it to cut out and it didn't. I would imagine keeping it running after those lug nuts would keep the motor fan going. It just hot too hot. I would imagine for skrews and the occasional lug nut it would be fine.
It should have a cutout. How being brushless did it get so hot?
I used dewalt for years but switched to Milwaukee 👍
FLAWED COMPARISON??? Pause the clip at 2:27 and to me it's immediately noticeable how much more downwards force is being applied to the DEWALT compared to MAKITA. This causes more resistance acting against the bolt. To me it looks like the dewalt is trying to push through the wood, when It is dominantly the hammering action along the rotational axis that drives the screw. Applying excessive force is counter productive and damages the tool
Too much drama. Can’t get to the point and likes to waste your time. Will unsubscribe.
i honestly had my milwaukee impact driver heat up on me supposedly the best one out at the time heat up so bad on me that it burned the palm of my hand, just last week did go back to my 887 from dewalt both new but its alright maybe just defective.
This video is so desperate and pathetic
Milwaukee and makita make the best impacts hands down.
Praise the word of the tools preach on Vince.
That. Ridgid is good. For. The diy home use. DeWalt is still. Good.
Today at Home Depot they had the Dewalt socks, 3 pair of socks $5.99CAN. Milwaukee is top of the line… unlike Dewalt will start selling lingerie and diapers for the seniors….🤣🤣🤣
I changed battery platforms….it was Milwaukee, Dewalt, or Makita as my choices. Chose Milwaukee and so far I am happy. All brands have issues unfortunately and none are the best at everything. Don't worry Vince about the haters. Your just saying the truth and trying to help. People can take it or leave it.
Vinny hates mustard, read all about it… Vinny's hooked on ketchup!!! 🤣🤣🤣
#teammilwaukee
No suprise DeWalt failed 😎
Halalula brother, Vince is spreading the gospel!! Lol
💦 truth
Yo man I have been seeing this for a long time #justsayin’
Wonder if the craftsman version will do it?
Can't Please everyone bro… We're not here to kiss people's Butts. I buy and use wat works for me, plain and simple.
Vince next time you are at home depot look at the ryobi brushless 3 speed impact driver and you will see a fan in it
Don't listen to stupid people vin. Don't sweat it
Vince I can't believe you have not thrown that dewalt back in the dewalt dumpster
It's just the Brushless models That bellows the Magic Vape 🤣
