DEWALT’s 20-Volt MAX XR Mid-Torque Brushless 1/2 in. Impact Wrench may be small, but it packs some big power. (DCF894B)

DEWALT recently released their new ½ in. impact wrench, but don’t let the size of this little monster fool you. At only 3.8 lbs, this baby produces 3,100 IMP (Impacts per Minute), has a maximum speed of 2,000 RPM, and produces 3,960 Torque lb-in!

This .5 impact wrench is extremely compact which really allows the user to work in some tight spaces, but power was not a trade-off when they built this tool. We drove ½” lag screws through treated 4x4s effortlessly (without pilot holes). Even factory installed lug nuts were no match for this wrench.

One of the coolest features of the DEWALT impact wrench was the (Precision Wrench Control). What this feature actually does is gives the user complete control of their drives. When the trigger is pulled, the anvil will impact slowly for a couple seconds to help with stability, and then all hell is unleashed. This feature also helps to prevent over tightening and lowers speed when fastener is loose 

to help prevent run-off.

  

Now just in case you needed even more control, DEWALT gives you three different control settings that range from low to medium to hold on to your ass!  They also added three LED lights to help illuminate the work area for you.

As for the anvil, I will say that the sockets were very easy to put on and take off, but in my opinion, they were a bit too easy. I would have liked to have seen a little more grab on the anvil as the sockets could possibly fall off if held in a downward position. That is not a good thing if working at heights which people walking underneath.  

Other than that small issue, everything else on the DEWALT Impact Wrench worked flawlessly. The build what exactly what you would expect it to be for a DEWALT tool, and the power was really impressive considering this was smaller than I am used to. It’s definitely worth taking a look at for yourself.
