DEWALT XR 20-volt Max Variable Speed Brushless 1/2-in Drive Cordless Impact Wrench (1-Battery Included) & 10-Piece 1/2-in Drive Set Hex Bit Standard (SAE) Driver Socket Set

Way better than the 3/8" DCF883M2

I cheaped out after reading so many reviews of the 3/8" version of the 20V Max impact and regretted quickly. So many reviews and videos made it seem like the 3/8" was enough. Wrong. It's really not meant for working on cars reading the torque rating. It's nowhere near this 1/2" version for extra $80, Sure, you only get one battery versus the two you get with the 3/8" but that version was so under powered I actually had hard time loosening small 12mm bolts in my engine bay (and my car is les...

Great impact gets the job done

Really love this gun has great amount of power to get some of those stubborn bolts out im a farm mechanic so I get a lot of rusty bolts and this is my go to right here. Its very sturdy as well its been dropped numerous times on all types of surfaces from 4 to 5 feet and been washed in dust and darn thing still wont quit running. Only down side is the detent pin I should have bought the hog ring version but that was my fault. Battery life is also great I upgraded to a bigger battery and I hardly ...

Powerful

I’ve been looking to get a good impact wrench for some time now and today I finally pulled the trigger and purchased one. I’m getting older and really don’t want to have to muscle off tight bolts/nuts with breaker bars any more. I’ve even had to jump up and down on a breaker bar to try to break lose the bolt/nut I was working on. If you been there, you know what I’m talking about - what a pain. With the Dewalt DFC899 there is no need to muscle off bolts/nuts because the tool does the work for yo...

Took off lug nuts on my truck, specificly, a Ram 1500 no problem. I saw a few 1 star review stating that it cannot take a lug nut off a car. Do not listen to them. It will take off all 4 tires in a single fully charged 4ah battery. I also saw a 1 star review stating that the charger would not charge the battery. I thought I had the same issue until, I found out that you have to push the battery all the way down into the charger till you feel it lock in. If you do not feel it lock in and the batt...

Wow....impressive...sheer power...I likie

I tried for two days to take out a bolt from my shock absorber rear, bottom bolt. Tried everything, breaker bar, 1/2 inch, penetrant, etc. My regular grade Dewalt impact wrench didn't do anything. I went to a mechanic shop and they said i'd have to cut the bolt off. I found this online and saw it was available in my local Lowes. I had the choice of this one or the 400 lb torque version. I'm glad I got this monster because I needed every last bit of raw power this puppy could offer! Just the way ...

Why did I wait so long

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A very powerful impact and it's not heavy. I build wood decks and driving 10" long 1/2 lag bolts is a breeze now. The time I've save has already paid for my impact. The fact that it's an impact it is easy on your wrist. You could handle this impact with only one hand because it does all the work for you. I should've bought this impact a long time ago. The battery lasts a long time and it charges very quickly. The battery power gauge that shows ...

It's a beast!

Wow, this tool impressed me! The job: install a 4" lift kit on a 1976 GMC truck. While I had my air Impact on standby, the Dewalt 20 volt Impact removed every nut and bolt I threw at it. Rusty u-bolts, shock bolts, suspension bolts, exhaust bolts and leaf springs all were loosened with this. Too few reviews are written with real world testing and I've put this tool through its paces and it's a winner. My friend helping with the install was in awe of what it could do. The battery lasted a lon...

This impact is awesome!!!

I burned up my old Craftsman impact and was in the market for a new one. I did my research and saw that this had the 700 ft/lbs of impact, which was 2.5 times higher than what the old impact could do. I used this on my project truck and what a difference. I was able to take out old rusted bolts that a 3 foot break over bar had trouble moving. Also, when I went to take off the lug nuts off the truck I had to check and see if they were loose to start with. The lugs nuts came right off!!! I ...

Absolutely Great Impact Wrench

I never imagined I would say this, but Battery-operated tools have gotten as good as gas powered, or pneumatic tools now. Such is this DeWalt 20v battery operated,1/2" impact wrench. These are far more convenient and portable than gas or air powered impact wrenches, and honestly, cheaper, when I consider I don't have to buy an air pump and hose to be used just with it. The bottom line is that these works great, so don't be afraid to get one. Oh, and the batteries are interchangeable with other...

Expected Better

After using so many impact wrenches by other manufactures I thought they were each in their own way great - until I purchased the Dewalt. I want to like it and give it a good review, but I cannot recommend it. Maybe I got a bad one, maybe the battery was junk, maybe it could be good. Out of the box it ran sloppy and slow at each speed setting. In fairness it could have been the battery as it failed to hold a charge and took 3.5 hours to juice it up to the <50% level. Bottom line the Dewalt Impac...
