DEWALT 20V MAX* Cordless Impact Wrench Kit with Hog Ring, 3/8-Inch (DCF883M2)

I work on autos as a side job and I needed something to help with my arthritis turning bolts so I decided to give this Dewalt 3/8 20v impact a chance. Wow!!! I just did a timing belt and water pump the day after getting this in the mail and was so impressed, I had the majority of the bolts off in less than 15 minutes without much effort. I was amazed as it made quick work of motor mount bolts as it usually takes forever with hand tools. The Dewalt made my job easier as I spent more time talking with my friend about the Dewalt and all the time I saved than working. This is a tool that I think any serious wrencher must have as it cuts wrenching time in half and has the power to remove every nut/bolt I ran into(haven't tried it on lug nuts yet). The only issue I have is that it doesn't fit into some tight spaces but that's ok. Overall I recommend this tool to anybody that wants to cut wrenching time in half and the fact it comes with two 4 AH batteries and charger is a major bonus

Was well worth the money I spent

I purchased this particular DeWALT 20-volt impact gun since I knew that I probably wouldn't be using it to remove fasteners torqued to much over 65 lbs ft (or ft lbs...).My lug nuts were tightened to 65 lbs ft using a torque wrench. When it came time for another periodic wheel/tire rotation, this DeWALT made the tedious job of breaking lug nuts loose with a socket and breaker bar much simpler and faster. It made quick work of removing 4 lug nuts (and one wheel lock removed and installed by hand tools) on each of the four wheels on my vehicle. Each nut came completely off the wheel stud in 2 to 3 seconds. For this particular lug nut torque setting, the battery felt like it could have done many more sets of wheels.I haven't yet found out how useful the LED lights are but when the time comes for under vehicle maintenance they may come in handy.I see that Amazon's price at the time of this writing is $22 cheaper than what I paid in September 2018. An even better deal! I'm pretty happy with my purchase.NOTE: This DeWALT model does come with two Lithium-Ion batteries, a charger, and hard plastic case. Some earlier questions were posted to Amazon by people wondering if it came with one battery or two.

40 years as a mechanic, 25 in the auto/light truck, currently work in the heavy truck industry. Learn what tools are correct for the job. No, it's not going to take off lug nuts from a Kenworth, not what it's designed for. This tool busts off lock nuts on mudflaps, and draws those torque clamps down just perfect.. If you're working exhaust, old suspension, or trying to remove an engine, you'll need real air powered tools for the big stuff, this tool will knock out all the little bolts with ease tho.. Anyone who bought this tool, expecting it to remove transmission bolts and over torqued lug nuts, is not a mechanic.

I should of bought one years ago. Light weight and the battery doesn't leak like the old 18V batteries when not in use; so I guess all my 18V gear is going up for sale. I hurt my arm changing my suspension with hand tools, and the air compressor didn't work, so it was time to go cordless. So yes lug nuts at 94ft, putting them back on was cool with the variable speed trigger topping off with a torque wench.I changed the timing belt on my Zetec 2L with hand tools, and that got me to pull the trigger for this. So next project is upgrading my small disc and drum brakes to the SVT brakes; in which should go super fast this time.So I watch Street Outlaws and saw Chief using the same model on his engine. I'm very happy with it and it should last over 20 years for me; I still have DeWalts from 1998 that I still use and there going strong. If your on the fence like I was and thinking about saving money on a 18V, it's not worth it, just swallow the price and go 20V. And I bought the 1/2 impact today as well.

BEST MONEY I'VE EVER SPENT WISH HAD PURCHASED IT YEARS AGO STILL USING SAME BATTERY ON FIRST. GREAT!!!!

I have only had this impact for a week now and I love it. I use it in an automotive repair shop and it is great for interior underdash work as well as underhood. Just to test its power I removed a lugnut off a Chevrolet Trailblazer, these are torqued to 103 ft lbs. I have not had to recharge a battery yet. I also have the 20 volt cutoff tool from dewalt that uses these batteries and plan on expanding my lineup of cordless tools. And thank you to amazon for a great price. I e-mailed customer service before I purchased this as I had some questions on price and shipping etc. and they responded within a couple hours. WOW! They answered all of my questions and I didn't hesitate to make the purchase. I waited two weeks for my local store to call me with a price on this tool as they didn't normally stock this item, but I ordered it form Amazon in the meantime. I had the impact in my possession the day from Amazon when my local store finally called me with a price... Great customer service from Amazon!!!

I use this for my work as a car mechanic and after 2 months of use, it still holds up fine. Or even better, I'm still on my first battery! I've never had to charge it yet or swap to the 2nd battery as of yet. A good and reliable impact for daily work and would recommend for mechanics

Thing is a little beast. I’m a heavy Duty Truck mechanic and I use this all the time

I use it almost everyday to work on cars. It does perfectly the job to remove any small bolts. The only cons i could find is the lack of level power because it tends to overtorque a lot in small places where the bolt is holding a plastic trim fot example.However, if you play with the trigger you can size how much power you give depending on how much you pull the trigger.Update : october 17th, 2020 ; one of the battery imploded for no reason, never dropped the tool or the battery alone. Kinda sucks when you are working

Nice impact gun but not as powerful as I was lead to believe. Granted the bolts it won't break loose have required use a breaker bar with some length to it to break them loose. Tightens bolts quickly and the ones I have double checked with a wrench are torqued sufficiently with this gun. Batteries last a long time and have a power check button with 3 LED light segments which is a nice touch. Overall a good tool so far.

Sweet deal for this little power house. Amazon has the best prices for dewalt products that I could ever find. I’m not a professional user just a home gamer but I’m a hands on guy that has found a million and one uses for this impact wrench

Great drill use it on the job all the time a great tool to have
