Ratings & Reviews for DEWALT XTREME 12-volt Max Variable Speed Brushless 3/8-in square Drive Cordless Impact Wrench (Battery Not Included and Charger Not Included)

12v dewalt is it. This is the one you want.

Same with the 12v drill i purchased. Its more than enough for most home projects. Highly recommended and very lightweight and powerful.

Lightweight 12V

Plenty of torque, shorter, easier to handle. I'm impressed considering that this is only a 12V. It definitely does the job. Does not replace the 20V line but it is a good addition to my tool collection.

very surprising

Got this for under the hood & interior work. I was able to take some lug nuts off, but my 1/2" air gun got jealous and was like "that the whole purpose you bought me, the torks!!! If you bought this impact to do lug nuts, esp on the daily then you need to step back and reevaluate some life choices. It goes forward & back, and the precision thing is cool. Very light. looks bigger on the interweb.

Good for tight spaces

This is my first 3/8 impact but my pro mechanic friends recommended I got with DeWalt due to the quality and I have not been disappointed. This one is small and nifty to get into tight spots. It saves me so much time versus a ratchet. I should've bought this earlier!

Compact, ergonomic, awesome

This impact is probably the most comfortable power tool I've ever used. It fits perfectly in my hand. It's great for quickly removing multiple smaller fasteners like the ones you'll find in the engine bay of your car. However, it has a pretty decent amount of breakaway torque, should you need it. All while having precision control so you don't overtighten fasteners that go into plastic (coil packs, bumper and headlight assemblies). Highly recommend, I forgot to mention the awesome light ring on ...

Hog ring socket retainer

Used this impact less than a week and sockets are already falling off the anvil. Major pain in the rear to have your sockets falling off and hitting floor consistently!

Very light duty

Wouldnt run lug nut off that was torqued to 130lbs. I like it but my expectations were too high.

Pretty decent with one huge flaw

This impact works great for small jobs. As a professional diesel tech, I use this mostly just to run down fasteners, then use a wrench/ratchet etc to actually tighten it so that I don’t have to waste time with a ratchet or my fingers. Has plenty of power to run nuts and bolts, and way more than enough to tighten stuff enough to finish with a torque wrench or something similar. Batteries last a long time and haven’t lost any capacity in the year that I’ve had it. The big problem is the anvil. W...
