DEWALT 20V MAX* Impact Wrench, High Torque, Hog Ring Anvil, 1/2-Inch (DCF889HM2), Yellow

This is one serious tool. When it first arrived, I tried to use it without a fully charged battery and a regular 7/8" socket on one of my truck's lug nuts. Not a good idea! The combination of a 3" extension and shallow socket not only didn't remove the nut, but the extension dented the top of it. Oops....mental note - deep sockets for lug nuts! A couple hours of patience for the impact sockets I ordered to arrive and a fully charged battery, and I was in business. WOW! This tool has serious torque! It zipped off every lug nut after no more than a second or so of ratcheting. As a test, I replaced the nuts and torqued them down with a wrench to 135 lb-ft as specified by the manufacturer. Once again, not a problem, the DCF889HM2 took them off without breaking a sweat. I really like the hog ring feature and it seems to me the sockets and extensions are held quite firmly. The LED light and dual batteries with "fuel gauge" to indicate the charge level are icing on the cake. If you're considering an impact wrench, I don't see how you can go wrong with this one.

Fast and quiet. It took the lugs of the car with ease. It also can be easily used to seat the lug nuts without over tightening them, thus allowing a proper torque wrench to be used for the remaining turns.Also, for most automotive purposes, very few fasteners need higher torque than the lug nuts (axle nuts and crank pulley fasteners usually need higher torque). Even though an air powered wrench may come cheaper, the cost of an air compressor, hoses, and fittings make the Dewalt an excellent option for casual brake and chassis work. The noise an air compressor makes is bad for home personal use, this nullifies that problem for me as well.Lastly, I have a lot of friends that want me to check out their brakes before they have them fixed, fearing getting ripped off. I can easily take my floor jack and this tool out, zip the tires off and on in about 5 minutes total turn around time to have a look at the brakes. It is also portable when I need to go help a friend out with changing their tires and such.In short, great buy. If I still had my auto shop, I would use this far more than my air powered tools.

I've never seen a battery powered impact wrench work as well as this one. Traditionally, you'll see pneumatic or wired torque impact wrenches, as impact wrenches need a good sustained power source. However, this 20-volt cordless torque impact wrench has NEVER failed me.Also, while it comes with two batteries and a quick charging base, in my extensive use of this tool I've never run into a particular bolt or even full project that required me to even swap out the battery for the backup battery, let alone stop the project to recharge the batteries! I simply make sure the battery on the impact wrench is fully charged and I've done anything from removing and replacing stubborn brakes, assembling tractor attachments that called for an impact wrench, etc. all on a single full charge of just one of the batteries that come with this wrench. FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY!

This thing is VERY powerful and the batteries that it comes with last for a good stretch as well. Has done away with the need for the compressor and air impact. It is heavy but not as heavy as an air compressor, air hose and impact gun and unless you are building bridges or skyscrapers this gun should be more than enough for almost everyone. Haven't tested the torque ratings out on it but I am pretty sure that left running it will break things. Curios to know how much stronger this is than the more compact one, might have to add that one soon, you know, just to check. LOL. Worth every cent.

Works well . Good battery life.Good value for money.

I use this for tire changes. Its perfect for my needs and is easy to use. A bit on the heavy side but gets the job done well. Its a DEWALT what more do you need to know.

I wish there were six stars, these 20v series dewalts are awesome. Be careful what you torque with this if you've never used one like it. It outperforms my crappy Kobalt air driven 1/2 inch impact gun. It rips lugnuts off with ease on my 3/4 ton truck. I've had it snap a large washer in half with I (over) tightened a bolt. I'm sure there are probably other great 20v systems out there so look around I haven't tried them all.I will say I use the crap out of these 20v dewalts in a farm/home shop setting very frequently for things they probably are not intend for. They continue to impress me. I started with the drill/ 1/4 in impact combo kit I got as a gift. The 1/4 in impact is the most used tool I use in my shop. I was so impressed I bought the sawzall. That impressed me so much I bought this for things that require >130ish pounds of torque the 1/4 inch can't handle. All I can say about this whole line is they are all highly powered, well designed, rugged, and have outstanding battery life.Only downside with this gun is it's weight. Its pretty heavy with a 4 or 5 amp hour battery on it. But it is over 300 pounds of torque so...

Wow - great torque! It's amazing that something that runs on such a small and light battery can pack as much of a punch as this tool does. My wife and I have been house hunting for a while but currently the place we have doesn't have a garage so, no air compressor or air tools. I bought this based on the reviews and figured it would get me by until we find a new house but it has changed my thinking on tool selection. No hoses, no air compressor noise and complete portability make this a tough item to beat. I highly recommend it for the home mechanic. The hog ring is a nice improvement as well.
