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

This is a fantastic tool. I think it's more convenient than the 1/2" square or 1/4" hex for doing mechanic work. For body fasteners, small engine fasteners, etc, it really powers them on and off. I was pretty surprised by how much impact torque this thing actually has. It's light and the 20v lithium batteries are a real improvement over the old 18v ni-cd stuff. Dewalt is the way to go for battery powered power tools! Blows my brother's snap-on electric 3/8" impact out of the water for less money.

Very good product. Used this for years and still use it. Worth the money. There is more powerful ones out there now but still good.

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 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

I'm a professional mechanic that works on heavy equipment (bulldozers). Bough this tool with some Christmas money I received in 2015 so I've been using it for about 7 months. It has great power for the weight/size of the tool and has remarkable battery life. It's the first electric impact I have owned so I have no other comparison to a similar electric tool to offer. I would say it is easier to maneuver than my pneumatic Snap-On 3/8 drive impact and probably about the same weight with the battery installed. I regularly use for fasteners up to 3/8" diameter and 10mm diameter with no problem. My helper unintentionally broke several 5/16" bolts by hammering too long with it. I completely recommend it and would definitely purchase it again.

Powerful and light but batteries have a weak spot for cracking so be gentle with the bigger packs on this and the bull ring loosened up with in 5 months but I was using it all day everyday but definitly like my new 14.4 3/8 snap on better and used it's only a little more expensive but this impact probably wasnt made for hard use on automotive

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

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.
