This post is sponsored by The Home Depot. Impact wrenches were once seen as a tool that only professional garages had or possibly the DIY, a.k.a backyard mechanic, with a large air compressor.

Impact Wrench, officially referred to as DeWALT 20-Volt MAX XR Lithium-Ion Cordless Brushless 1/2 in. Impact Wrench with Detent Pin Anvil (Tool-Only), Model DCF894B. This wrench will have an immediate impact on projects ranging from automotive to concrete anchoring fasteners and projects far beyond the reach of the compressor hose.

No tractors where harmed in the testing of this tool, but I did want to give this DIY impact wrench an authentic test of its power. Enter Henry – a life-long farmer, retired doctor and compulsive scrapper/recycler. We used the DeWALT 20V MAX XR ½ in. Impact Wrench on his John Deer tractor along-side his air impact wrench and were pleasantly impressed with the smooth and powerful performance of the DeWALT 20V MAX XR ½ in. Impact Wrench. When Henry used it on the first hefty bolt in the rear case of his John Deer his response was “Whoa. I’m impressed. Yeah, I’m impressed.” As far as direct quotes from a man who has spent nearly 7 decades living on and working farms, that is a ringing endorsement. Darn near effusive – in a John Wayne sort of way.

DeWALT 20V MAX XR 1/2 in. Impact Wrench – Detent Pin or Hog Ring?

You can have either one. Xenserver 6 2 keygen software. With the DeWALT 20V MAX XR 1/2 in. Impact Wrench, you have the anvil of your choice. Model# DCF894B, tested and reviewed for this article, has the detent pin anvil but DeWALT has similar models such as their model# DCF899HB that has the Hog Ring Anvil – also referred to as a Friction Ring Anvil. Both models are very similarly priced, have similar features and operate with the same battery.

The Hog or Friction Ring is either an o-ring or an o-ring with a metal C-clip over it that applies pressure, or friction, to the socket helping to keep it on the anvil. The Detent Pin, pictured below, is a tapered pin that, with the aid of an internal spring, pushes up into the hole in the side of the impact socket. A simple search will provide a wide range of “strongly held” beliefs about these two anvils. O-rings do wear out but can rather easily be replaced. The Detent Pin of some tools are longer, less tapered and/or have a stiffer spring which can make removing the socket more difficult. There have been times and tools when a pin or awl is needed to push the Detent Pin down as you are pulling off the socket. This was not the case with the DeWALT 20V MAX XR 1/2 in. Impact Wrench in our testing. Regardless of whether I had the Detent Pin in the hole or not, the socket stayed securely attached and was not difficult to remove.

When Is Enough Impact Enough?

To be clear, as long as you are pulling the trigger, the DeWALT 20V MAX XR 1/2 in. Impact Wrench will continue to impact/hammer on the fastener. You are not able to set the impact wrench to 120 and have it stop at the desired ft/lbs of torque. This means you can over-tighten bolts, you can strip the threads or compress projects to the point of needing to start over. One example of this occurred to me years ago, back when I had a full head of hair and a 1977 Chevy Nova complete with AM/FM 8-track. A garage had used an impact wrench to put my rear tires on during an inspection. When I was attempting to work on the car and needed to pull the tire off, I could not break the lug nuts free. I could literally stand on the tire iron, when I added a length of pipe to the end of the tire iron for added mechanical advantage, I was able to successfully bend my tire iron. Had I been on the side of the road with a flat tire, I could not have changed my own tire.

I was able to head back to the garage and have a more experienced (less trigger happy) mechanic address my lug nuts but a valuable lesson was learned. The DeWALT 20V MAX XR 1/2 in. Impact Wrench is powerful tool that the average Do It Yourselfer needs to use wisely. Stripping the studs for mounting your tires will be both frustrating and potentially costly. Overtightening the lug nuts on your significant other’s vehicle, similar to my ’77 Nova, could have you sleeping on the couch.

Another point to make would be that if you are primarily working out of your shop and you have an adequate air compressor, then the attractiveness of the hose-free impact wrench diminishes somewhat. As long as you have electricity running your compressor, you can run a standard impact wrench all day long. The batteries for the DeWALT 20V MAX XR 1/2 in. Impact Wrench do charge quickly, but they also do run out. The application and running time are considerations that should be taken into account.

Impact Wrench Sockets Set Public Safety Announcement

Not all sockets are created equal, nor are they all intended for the same application and use. While standard socket sets and impact sockets look very similar, there are significant structural differences that need to be noted. Impact sockets are not hardened to the same degree that standard socket sets are. This enables the impact sockets to withstand the continued shock of the impact against the bolt head. Impact sockets are have thicker walls that help them to absorb the shock and last longer.

The repeated impact on the harder, and consequently more brittle, standard socket can lead to cracking or shattering. The real danger is in the shattering of the socket which can lead to bodily injury. Please, if you are able to invest in the DeWALT 20V MAX XR ½ in. Impact Wrench, make the investment in your safety by purchasing a set of impact sockets and always wear the appropriate eye and safety protection.

Impact Socket sets can range from $40-$200 depending upon your needs. From AES to Metric, deep well to shallow, extensions to hex-head drivers, you can spend as much or as little as you like. I have always been a fan of getting the base set to get rolling and then grow the set over time. If going ‘all in’ is in your budget, you will be ready for anything with your the DeWALT 20V MAX XR ½ in. Impact Wrench.
