Customer Reviews

Compact and well made
Nice and compact. Uses my 18v batteries from other dewalt tools. Has the hog ring retainer which I prefer to the spring loaded pin. One note...the picture shows that it has the smaller battery base for the newer Nano style batteries, but mine had the old style base that fits the older ni-cad batteries. It works for me since I have only the older batteries. Both batteries will plug in and function. Seems to have the right amount of torque for a 3/8" drive impact.

has LED worklight, ready for li-ion battery
This came with 2 XRP battery packs but is ready for the li-ion cells (it has the dual compatible base). It does have an LED for the work area that comes on with the slightest press of the trigger even before the spinning starts. It has a variable speed drive

Dewalt gives you 3 choices in drive size - 1/4 , 3/8 (this one ) or 1/2". I chose 3/8 and had to look hard for it because I wanted to use my 3/8 sockets I already owned. I have a dewalt 1/2" impact wrench with 1/2" sockets that runs on 110 vac so this is my "tiny" solution for nuts. As for 1/4" drivers, I'm deferring that size to the small power screwdriver type low torque drivers.

I was surprised how hard it was to find a 3/8" drive - my sockets are all 3/8 and this has the nice snap ring holder so it's a great system altogether. It comes in a black carry case with 2 batteries and charger, which I don't need another one. I would have bought the tool alone but at the time I could not find the tool with these features and no batteries, and I needed some new batteries anyhow.

The gearbox is great, as with all dewalt drivers. It's the right drive size for an 18v battery driven system.
