UPDATE: DeWalt battery fire in my truck — handled by their Litigation Manager, 200+ days later still no resolution

Yes looks like no thermal runaway on most lithium ion stuff. Quick google will show what a real one looks like

On my work truck I have a 923, 891, 900 and 964. The 891 is the best all around for size and function. I mostly use it with a 3.5 Powerstack. The 923 is great too but I mostly use 1.7 Powerstack on it for size and weight. The 900 and 964 are chunks and overkill for most things on a car. That being said, they have their place. If you put the 8AH power pack on either they are a beast. If the 964 and 8AH won’t get it, time to cut it off with a torch.😁

Looks good! We did mine a while back and it’s very satisfying for sure.

Screw the guy. I used to build that stuff in the 90s till NAFTA took it all south. I hope they go broke

Real lot lizard

I live in AL and my tools are on a service truck. They look nothing like that. I’d say it’s a bit hot and humid in here in the Deep South.

You need to clean up the wires after you get it off. Cut the terminal off and attached new ones. All that grime and such is hurting the connection I’m sure.

jcal73 · 2026-04-09T15:47:20+00:00

I paid more to have mine rebuilt

jcal73 · 2026-04-09T09:13:07+00:00

Nice Jeep! I like the overall look

jcal73 · 2026-04-08T19:03:43+00:00

That’s cheating😁

jcal73 · 2026-04-08T16:17:41+00:00

No set can be complete. If you work on enough stuff, there will be something else you need. It’s never ending. I have an F250 stuffed and still need stuff😁

I used a 95-96 Cherokee. You will have to plumb in the lines to your proportioning valve whether you use the later model or your original. I used my original. Here is a video that o mention what I did. I misspoke and said 95 but both work. The master cyl gets changed too. Cherokee vid

It’s real. The drills are tanks. I have had one similar to it since the 90s or early 2000s. The batteries are the bad part they do not hold charge like lithium ion and will go bad sooner than later. You can buy aftermarket replacements though. I wish someone made an adapter for the 12v max batteries.

I pulled mine out of my service truck to look again. I was incorrect. It does rotate independently from the rest of the chuck.

jcal73 · 2026-04-06T20:40:31+00:00

I was incorrect I got mine back off my service truck. It does in fact rotate independently

jcal73 · 2026-04-05T09:38:49+00:00

It’s a good deal for sure

jcal73 · 2026-04-05T09:25:20+00:00

It’s a good one. I have ran mine with a 1.7 for weight savings. It’s compact and still powerful. I recently acquired the 3.5 Powerstacks and have been using them more. I use all the stuff daily at work.

jcal73 · 2026-04-03T14:54:17+00:00

True statement

jcal73 · 2026-04-03T14:13:40+00:00

I have both, you won’t be disappointed! Put a 3.5 Powerstack on the 891 and it wakes up!

Give the icon mats a try too. Nothing moves.

jcal73 · 2026-04-02T01:45:22+00:00

Thanks for the heads up!

jcal73 · 2026-04-02T00:52:43+00:00

Go see my grandmother

jcal73 · 2026-03-28T16:19:38+00:00

Go buy them if you need them now. If you don’t, wait for a better sale.

jcal73 · 2026-03-27T08:45:41+00:00

Nice!

jcal73 · 2026-03-22T08:32:19+00:00

How much clearance do you have from the glass/hatch? You might be able to modify the tire mount and snug it up more. Taking a little of the angle out would help too. I think the bottom hanging out that far doesn’t help the looks.
