[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this impact wrench for when I need a little extra for tighter bolts and nuts. Such as a crankshaft bolt. This has become my primary impact for all of my automotive work, almost feeling guilty as my 911b is now not getting as much use as it once was. I use this with a 5AH Powerstack battery and it wants to rip. The tool feels very solid and has a nice balance of weight with the dimensions of it. The buttons are firm and with care they will last a while. I tested the max breakaway torque on an old John Deere tractor, Speed 3 had no problem taking the nuts off. I overtorqued to 1000 ft lbs, it took around 20 seconds of impacting, but it managed to break the nuts free. Its nice to know it can handle some heavily torqued bolts and nuts should the need arise.
I'm on my 2nd one that's broken now, my first one last 3 days I think then started cutting out when impacting after a couple seconds, this one now I've had for 5 months probably and it started doing the same thing now, tried cleaning the contacts and different batteries but nothing, there must be some defect with them why they keep dying, never had a name brand tool be this unreliable before.

This new mid torque impact wrench is way strong but in a manageable way.this model compared to the last mid torque is a whole new game it's more powerful than some high torque units but the different speed selector and smart modes keeps it very user friendly. If your looking for the best all around impact wrench on the face of the earth look no farther you can't beat the dcf891
From power lags to stubborn bolts, this thing does it all without breaking a sweat. When its not getting used in the shop, it rides around in my wife's car giving her peace of mind that changing a tire on the side of the road will be a breeze thanks to this impact. It does exactly what I have asked of it in every situation and would recommend it to anyone.
First off I just want to say I've been using DeWalt 20 volt tools since I started working at the age of 13 with my father. They always outperform with their power tools. This mid range 1/2" impact is extremely powerful but very delicate at the same time. It will break away stuck bolts and nuts with ease but without damaging what's being removed or removed from. It's very quiet decently lightweight and compact. It's a great choice for a diy type of person who works on they're own vehicle or friends vehicle or diy construction or for the pros and contractors, mechanics, automotive technicians. It's a just a beast and a absolute must have in the garage or at work.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gun is durable and has loads of torque! its small size allows me to get into hard to reach places and as a mechanic that is a big deal. I work with a lot of rusty nuts and bolts and this gun breaks them all free without hesitation!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this tool. It’s amazing how smooth and effortless this tool operates compared to previous models. I recently refinished a trailer, and this tool took off rusted lug nuts so easily. With the “lug nut” feature it even governed the speed. Amazing.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome impact. Way stronger then the older dcf894 in the same exact size so just go and get this 1 and forget about the old model. This gets done what the old dcf899 high torque in a smaller footprint. Use it all the time and driving and removing 5/8" and 3/4" wedge and screw anchors. The new digital speed selector is a nice touch too. Works good and never accidentally switches modes like every milwaukee ive ever used.
