How did I manage before this thing?
When I was younger, I used professional air tools & wrenches, and they worked well with enough space, but were bulky and required annoying hoses & compressors.I’ve been working on cars for 40 years now as a hobby and finally decided to try out a cordless impact wrench since I already had DeWalt cordless drills and grass edgers.The 20V 3/8 drive impact arrived quickly and I was shocked at how small the box containing it was, as well as how compact and light the tool was.I hooked up a small, 2.0mAh battery to it and it blew me away. Lug nuts on the car were removed with no problem, the rear differential and axles I worked on were taken off in less than 5 minutes. This was normally a 30-minute affair with conventional hand tools. The tool’s compact frame and super light (but powerful) build actually made the work enjoyable, with plenty of room to fit in most spaces that my hand tools did before.I can’t believe I waited this long to get this cordless tool…faster, easier, and fairly inexpensive considering how much quality tools cost.I highly recommend this impact wrench and don’t know how I managed before I got it!

Dewalt Impact Wrench
Got this to bust lug nut off of small vehicles that require 80 pounds of torque that my car has! working good for me!!! My car is a 2010 Kia Rio.

Very Good & Handy Impact.
This tool has plenty of torque, not sure why people are saying it doesn’t. Unless you’re not using the 20V battery, don’t expect to get anywhere near the 150 ft/lb because the 12V battery won’t supply it. This tool works easily and makes for quick work on brake jobs. I wish I bought this first before getting the 1/2 impact because this tool is pretty light and easy to maneuver in tight spots as well.

My favorite new power tool
I’m not sure why this gets such negative reviews (youtube, forums, and such). A lot of people say that there is a huge power loss in this one with the 3/8″ anvil versus the 20V with the 1/4″ chuck. Maybe that’s true, but this has plenty of power for its size. And the advantage to this one versus the one with the 1/4″ chuck, is this one with socket installed is shorter overall than the other. So I can get it into places the other won’t go.I have been using the 12V Max impact with the 1/4″ chuck for about 5 years. I absolutely love it, but it lacks power for most bolts over 10mm. I have used it everyday at work though removing valve cover bolts, intake bolts, skid plates, splash shields. Pretty much anything with a 10mm bolt or smaller, and some things with larger bolts. Plus its great for running in oil pan bolts, because it doesn’t have gobs of power, I don’t have to worry about cross threading bolts while blindly running them in.Now, as far as this 3/8 20V Max XR. It has quite a bit more power. The 150 ft/lb rating is only sorta accurate. I have attempted to remove torqued bolts to over 100 ft/lbs and this gun will not do it. Bolts torqued that high that have lock tite, or rust will likely be too tight for this impact. On the other hand, freshly torqued bolts with clean threads, this impact will remove well over 100 ft’lbs. That is assuming you’re not using an 18″ extension with a wobble socket. It removes lug nuts easily, if they were torqued correctly with a torque stick, or torque wrench.Im using the impact with a Dewalt 5 mAH battery and the charge lasts forever. I still use the 12V Max every day at work, but now I use this one every day as well. I use it for a lot of brake jobs, smaller suspension bolts, basically anything up to about 21mm, and it usually removes them easily. The battery will last with that type of use several weeks. I still have to use my air impacts when I need more power. For my 3/8 air I have the Ingersoll 2135 tiMAX. The ingersoll will beat this dewalt every time, but air hoses are annoying, so I reach for this first, and only use air if I have to.So yeah I’d recommend this to anyone tired of dragging around air hoses, or even for home use. Maybe it doesn’t have tons of extra power to spare, but for its size, and convenience, it has plenty. I didn’t buy it thinking it would be as strong as my Ingersoll. I bought it because I knew it would be close enough that I wouldn’t have to lug the air hose around as much.

Always happy with anything DeWALT XR
DeWALT makes good stuff and I am bought into their ecosystem, so I don’t really think twice. However, I can say that you should always invest in their XR line. Anything below doesn’t hold up as well. I’ve had sever of the batteries for 15 years now and they’re still going. Very impressed.

UPDATE: one year after, my impact is still running strong, im putting heavy use on it every day. It experiences some nasty high drops, swim in antifrezee and oil. Not even a crack casing. Only thing i can criticize wich i knew was coming from my other Dewalt tools, the little rubber bumper on the side are coming off. Still one of my favorite tool!Ps: Snap on guy unload hates on my impact when he see me using the Dewalt instead of the 400$ one he sold me. That tells everything when your top off the line tool guy is jealous… ;)I am a fan of Dewalt 20v line up! I use this tool as a car mechanic and welder, i got to say this is one of my favorite. Right out the box i did not expect that it would have so much power for a small impact. So i took a 5 ah battery and tryed it ont a carâs wheel lug nut and it took them all off no problems! I use it every day, it is silent and lightweight. The trigger has a nice graduation to it, so you can be soft on small fastener. Battery life is surprisingly long also. 5/5 i love it, if you need a 3/8 cordless impact donât hesitate.

Held off on buying the brushed version (883) of this tool and was glad I waited for this one. I did not need the larger 1/2″ high torque model (such as the DCF 889/899 series) for my specific needs. Light weight and high power were the more important criteria… something you could use for long periods in tight spots and not tire-out your hand/arm but it had to have enough power to do the job. The anvil & hog-ring being brand new are tight, so some may say it’s bit of a struggle to get a socket off. But loose fitting sockets can cause reduction in effecting impact torque, so I tested this weapon out on 2-3 year old truck lug nuts torqued to 150 lbs-ft with a 21 mm socket in good condition. I certainly had no real l problem getting them off after a few brief hammering blows before they spun off. So for most cars with typical 100 lbs-ft wheel torque or conventional exhaust & suspension fasteners, this tool should prove adequate in daily professional use without the need to acquire its 1/2″ big brother or a conventional air impact gun. The LED light feature can prove useful when you need it. The compact size is pretty good, but if you need even smaller for tight spaces, then get the 12V version that is even more compact. Control with the trigger was pretty good, but I would be cautious in using it on putting back critical engine fasteners because of the power… it would probably snap-off or strip-out at typical M8 of M10 engine bolt/nut if your were not careful. As a professional automotive technician, 5 stars for its intended application. But be realistic, larger or high torque fasteners and even corroded threads may prove challenging for this tool. You cannot otherwise beat the power of this tool for its intended use with compact size and superior grip/feel complementing the overall package. Bonus was the $25.00 off Dewalt/Amazon rebate I waited for… price could not be beat anywhere. It was well worth the wait for it…
