It turns out that the Craftsman V20 Brushless RP 1/2" Drive High Torque Impact Wrench CMCF940M1 is a lot like the older Dewalt DCF899 rather than the Dewalt DCF900. In this video, I compared the DCF900 to the Craftsman CMCF940M1 in size and weight, rather than the older model.

  • Craftsman has a place in my heart. Grew up using these with my dad back when they had the MADE IN USA tools
  • That craftsman impact is more comparable to the 899 however the 899 is rated higher but torque test channel proved the craftsman has more power than DeWalt

    I got mine today. It’s so damn amazing.

    The CMCF940 is essentially the DCF899 in red. SBD did the same thing with their mid-torques, repackaging the DCF894 as the CMCF920 after the DCF891 was released. The Craftsman line works for the average home user/DIY mechanic.

    I’ve been running a pretty crappy porter cable impact since I was like 18 and was buying my first tools, probably going to grab this one since all of my drills and drivers are craftsman just for battery interchangeability, and it seems like a decent upgrade over my porter which has honestly been a work horse for how cheap it was. If I was going to be wrenching full time I’d probably grab a dewalt or Milwaukee though.

    Great video, thank you. more then enough power for light personal work.

    Craftsman is basically the replacement for Porter Cable which I still have plenty that I picked up clearance and I've been doing the same with Craftsman V20. I now own all three Craftsman impact wrenches the 3/8, the 1/2 mid-torque, and now the 1/2 high torque. I just had to run out and get high torque to get off a Honda crank bolt and it did it easily but the mid-torque wouldn't move it.
  • Hello again WorkshopAddict Thank you for another Great Video 👍 I am researching for my next tool purchase. And cordless tools are on the list. I don't need something that big and heavy duty for aircraft maintenance. The warranty and how that works. For most of my work a 12- volt drill and impact wrench are good enough. And if the charge goes say to the eight hour range and recharges fairly quickly. Then I'm good 👍 Neither of these tools sound like a fit to me. If something comes to mind, please let me know. Again thank you 😊
  • Nice video but can you guys do a review on the new dewalt mid range 891. You guys never did a review on it.
  • @lesswatt
    They have a Porter Cable high impact now as well and although I'm invested in both lines I went with the Craftsman High Impact. Craftsman seems to have more clearance deals at Lowe's and Porter Cable only seems to be at Tractor Supply now.
  • Try the 9.0 A/H battery on tests please. I have the new 921B mid torque. It is surprisingly good. The tool is absolutely a different animal switching to the 9.0. And as soon as craftsman gets a 12.0 A/H battery... One is to assume correctly that it's a beast of an impact
  • @mrantone916
    Can that break a harmonic balancer loose ? 🤔
  • @robertsneed3
    How would you compare the Craftsman to the Ryobi 262. I like how the lights are on the Ryobi. Great video thanks for sharing
  • Interesting that none of the wheels are turning with the car up in the air.
  • One thing Craftsman does is they're not at the bottom and they're not at the very top there in above the middle and they always have been
  • @gjolinares23
    Did you use a 5ah craftsman battery? Where did that even come from? I’ve only seen the 2ah, 4ah, 6ah & 9ah.
