Compact but powerful enough to get the jobs done that I needed it for, primarily removing lug nuts from mower and auto wheels and an occasional nut on yard equipment like trailers and tillers. It is small enough to get into places my pneumatic impact wrench/driver can’t go and it’s portable enough to work out in the field where my airline/compressor power isn’t available.
Additionally, it runs on the same compact 12v batteries many of my other DeWalt tools use.

I bought this to use in a professional collision repair shop. I have used it on bed bolts, bumper bolts. Seat belt torx bolts. I use a 12V 5.0ah battery. It will install bolts up to 70 lbs torque as measured by a torque wrench. This is a great little impact. Lightweight. Compact. But remember, its not a replacement for an air impact that delivers 750 to 1000 ft lbs of torque. Its a compliment for those that just need a little more than a 1/4 or 3/8 inch impact can handle.

Hand down a power house. Also get a 1/2 to 1/4 adapter so you can use it as a driver! Lug nuts with ease!

400 lb break force. Took apart my engine cheery picker in 10 minutes for storage.

I started with the 3/8” 902 model, good for small work, can get lug nuts off if not way over torqued. But the 901 is much stronger. For heavy duty i have a high torque heavy impact wrench, but this is great for a lot of power for such a small tool.

Powerful gun it took off lugs off my truck like it was nothing just works as good as my big Dewalt cordless half-inch it works so well I’m gonna go buy the 3/8 one

I wish I had one of these years ago when i first started working on my cars, it’s very powerful and compact which lets me remove most nuts and bolts. I currently have a Mercedes that I love but the suspension parts are starting to rust and need replacing. It appears Mercedes loves putting loctite on all there bolts making it a work out to remove. I decided to buy this impact wrench and love it, makes working on the car fun again and turns what would of been a 4 hour job for me into a 1 hour job. Its compact enough that i can use it on almost everything. I bought a 3 amp battery for it and it lasts a very long time, i’ll be using the tool and think the battery must be almost drained but nope, it’s still at full charge, amazing. Best 75 bucks ive spent in awhile. For me this is a tool i wouldnt every go without now after owning it.

A great deal on a Dewalt 12 volt Brushless 1/2” impact wrench bare tool!! I already have the charger and batteries.

Amazing amount of torque for a 12v tool. I really appreciate the light weight without compromised power, and the three LEDs on the front of it work so much better than my other impact tools that have only a single LED at the bottom of the hand grip, near the battery. Iv been using it for mechanic work and am very happy with the performance.
