Impressive! Precision Wrench is a game-changer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm generally the type of guy that you'd see in his driveway kicking a tire iron as it's attached to the wheel of one of my vehicles, trying to remove an over-tightened lug nut that was improperly installed by a local oil change shop. Because of this, I've experience multiple minor injuries to my feet and shins, as well as a damaged lug nut or two. Unfortunately for me, my newest vehicle has a much higher torque spec than my older, much lighter vehicle had.
So when I decided it was time to perform routine maintenance on my wife’s EV and clean/lubricate her calipers, I thankfully had the opportunity to use my new DeWalt 20V MAX XR Mid-Range Impact Wrench. This hefty impact wrench has a LOT of power! It has the same alluring design as my other DeWalt tools, and I know it’s an often used trope, but you just know you’re holding a quality tool the moment you pick it up.
Another benefit that I didn’t know existed at the time was what DeWalt calls their “Precision Wrench” feature. This feature is sort of an “automatic” mode on the wrench that will give a short pause to the action the moment it feels some resistance when tightening (judging from my probably out-of-spec torque wrench, this was around 30-40 lb. ft). This really gave me the peace-of-mind that I wouldn’t accidentally over-torque a lug nut and break something in the process. It also works in the reverse to regulate the speed so that you don’t send a nut flying in a random direction.
Another terrific feature with this impact wrench is the inclusion of the Hog Ring Anvil. This allows the mechanic to quickly switch sockets without the use of a tool. In my opinion, this is a must-have feature for any mechanic, professional or not. It worked great for when I had to switch to my torque wrench as I don’t have an extra set of impact sockets lying around.
In addition to these features, the DeWalt 20V MAX XR Mid-Range Impact Wrench has very clear and easy to read settings on the base of the tool. The LED built into the wrench has 3 modes: off, low brightness, and high brightness. It also has a variable speed trigger and 3 distinct speed settings that are independent of the “Precision Wrench” feature I mentioned beforehand.
I’ve always felt that DeWalt has a “buy-it-for-life” quality that can’t be matched by most other tool manufacturers, and this new impact wrench only builds on that ideal. I am thoroughly impressed by it’s quality and feature-set. I highly recommend the DeWalt 20V Max CR Mid-Range Impact Wrench to the home-mechanic, and professional alike!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tool has plenty of power without being too heavy to use. Easily removed lug nuts and bolts on side by side. Makes changing tires and fluids very easy. Hog ring makes for easy changing of sockets. Would highly recommend to anyone needing an impact.

Awsome power and control ability.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The specs call it a mid range but I have yet to need a bigger more powerful impact. I got this mainly to take on trips for roadside tire changes should they be needed. It has been great for tire rotations and changing lawn mower blades.

This is a beast

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Forget about all the official definition of mid-torque impact wrench, this new XR is powerful! Compare to my older 894, this 891 handles my truck lug nuts with ease! It is a great if not a must for any type of car repair or any overtorqued application! This should be their product of the year! I'm very pleased with the power and the weight!

Black and yellow for the win

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product works as described. It has enough power to remove and tighten lug nuts. I used it several times rotating my tires. I couldnt really think of any other use that suites me. Its not terribly heavy and the battery lasts like you would expect from Dewalt. This tool also has a built in light like with their drills and drivers. I would have to say like with all my other Dewalt tools its a win.

Incredible amount of torque

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently used this impact wrench to take my tires off for changing brake pads and it made the job quick and easy. There was no need for hand tightening or loosening with a wrench, this thing has plenty of torque to handle the entire job.

Lightwight & Packs a Punch

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was surprised with this impact. Compact but packs a big punch. I've owned every 20V Dewalt impact they have released and they are heavy and loud. This 20V mid range impact was down right impressive with removing rusted lug nuts and trailer hitch bolts. The first project I used this impact on was removing a magneto with a 3 jaw puller from a 800 ETEC snowmobile motor. My buddy who was helping me with the removal asked if I had an impact with some power. I handed him the new 1/2 mid-range impact with a 20v powerstack battery hooked to it and he could not believe how light it was. To remove a magneto you need all of the 600ft lbs this impact has to get one out. This impact did everything we could ask for and how light it was is an extreme bonus. This impact rocks and Dewalt makes some of the best tools.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the compactness. It still packs a punch. I’m iffy on the rubber speed selector as to how long it will hold up vs one with a manual flip/slide switch but I do like it. Great tool so far. Bright light as well.
