DEWALT 20V MAX XR Brushless High Torque 1/2" Impact Wrench with Detent Anvil, Cordless, Tool Only (DCF899B)

It does a good job

I have been a mechanic for 40 years, i am used to air powered Impacts, I read all the reviews, and seen a lot of inexperienced users, that really dont know how to use a tool, this Impact has a ton of power, I m sure you can argue about the Milwaukee gun but for the price point this Impact gun will remove any thing i put it on, Im going to use this until it wont go anymore, i can be mobile with it, and take it to a friends house for tire work or to a salvage yard to get some parts, IT IS HEAVY..that is to be expected its super strong the motor has to be large, but its not bad............ one of my best tools, and i have thousands of dollars invested since 1982-ABOUT THE BATTERIES, the battery AMP hours is not how strong the tool will be---its how long it will run using it all day, if you are an occasional user the 2 will be fine it wont last all day, but you dont get anymore power out of a 5 amp battery that is not how it works, the 4 amp will run this thing all day using it to remove lug nuts, if you are going to use it on one or 2 vehicles in a day my 2 amp hour does just fine, you need one of these impacts

Lots of power for most jobs.. a bit heavy to work with but it’s a power monster

Replaced our air tool with this battery unit. Works well & easy to use. Great tool

Used it professionally for 2 years... still running strong!

This impact is awesome. Plenty of power for rotating tires and the like. If you don't have the space for an air compressor and all it requires to run your impact, this may be just the tool for you. I got this so i could start rotating my own tires, and it was well worth it. It zipped the lug nuts off of my scion (4 per wheel) and put them back on good and tight without even dropping a bar on the charge meter. I checked them all with a torque wrench afterward, and they were all well past 90 ft lbs. I didn't hold the impact on, either. I thought i just barely snugged them up because i like to torque my wheels with a torque wrench. I have 2 other vehicles. One with 5 lugs, one with 6. I suspect I could rotate the tires on all 3 vehicles with one charge on the 2 batteries I got, though I haven't tried that yet. They rarely ever come due at the same time. The friend that recommended this to me did his tires on his truck with 8 lugs per wheel, and said it only dropped his charge by 1 bar, and made easy work of it. I recommend getting 2 batteries though. While it looks like one will go a long way, you never know what can come up.

The media could not be loaded. I’ve had my eye on this for quite sometime and it finally dropped in price for me, im more than happy with the power it delivers.***UPDATE***The impact gun is no longer working as it should. It’s squealing and tightening and loosening. I’m gonna reach out to DeWalt and see what they can do but I’m pretty sure that this is just a minor mishap, I will update on what Dewalt has to say.

I have the little brother 3/8” MAC tools branded impact. Purchased the week it was released. When it was new it would remove most car lug nuts even tho a 3/8”. Over time it lost a hair amount of break away.The MAC branded 1/2” is more expensive and since I have 4 batteries and two chargers I only needed a wrench. Purchased this and finally got a car to work on that needed brakes. Lugs were torqued to 90 ft lbs and with not even using the impact anvil the lug nuts came off. One pull of the trigger and with no “ugga-dugga” just spun them off.I couldn’t be happier. On install one quick burst put the lugs on over 100ft lbs. (too high) so I had to crack loose to get them to 80ft lb. (2007 Prius)People complain about the weight but maybe they never had to use or forget the heavy OG Rodac air impacts back in the day. I say it’s not heavy but perhaps it’s balance makes it seem heavy. No matter. I love this tool. I’ve been wrenching since 1975 and the MAC/DeWalt Brushless XR 20v Lithium impacts and drill are by far my favorite tools I’ve ever used. I wish they had a compact cordless ratchet. The one now is a bit large, but I’ll wait.
