Title: This thing packs a PUNCH and HEFT.
Review: ***Warning: Review by a DIYer home mechanic, not a "day to day" professional mechanic.************************************************************************************************************************The Good:Very powerful. Forward. Reverse. Don't matter.With a DEWALT 8AH battery pack on power setting #2, this thing unscrews 22mm wheel nuts and 21mm caliper bracket bolts very easily, even the ones with orange Loctite.Power setting #3 it's overkill most of the times to tighten anything and unscrews anything violently.Don't get distracted or this thing it's going to smack you and your wrist HARD. ðThe built-in LED lamp emits enough light to see everything in front of the wrench in the dark.The variable speed trigger it's a must have on ANY impact wrench and here it works flawlessly.The pistol grip feels good on a bare, oily, dirty hand but much better and safer (stronger grip) with leather or rubber gloves on, as you should be equipped to begin with before start using this tool.**********************************************************************************************************************The Bad:It's heavy. DEWALT claims 7lbs w/o battery.If you're planning on using it for extended periods of time and if you slap a big 8AH battery pack like a did, it's just going to get worse. Not a problem for me as I went in knowing that.Under prolonged heavy use you WILL physically destroy your batteries.The high power and the resulting vibrations are a double edged sword.I try to minimize the problem by grabbing the battery with one of my hands when using the wrench.DEWALT does not make the battery bumper, a.k.a BATTERYGUARD(TM) standard equipment, however, they'll be happy to sell it to you as an extra.That tells you that they know there's a problem but feel it's not critical enough yet to hurt their sales and tarnish their name. Time will tell.Don't trust the PRECISION WRENCH(TM) mode, use your own hand feel judgement and experience and you'll be better off. I tried it, then went over it with a manual wrench to assert my suspicions and felt it was way off when it came to applying the correct amounts of torque on different fastener types and sizes.The "run off prevention on reverse" feature did work as advertised but I see it more as gimmick than a true helping feature. JMHO.*******************************************************************************************************************Final Thoughts:If you need a powerful and reliable cordless impact wrench, be it at home and even at the shop, you won't be disappointed with this one.ð

Title: Much easier
Review: Makes life easier. Much more convenient for removing difficult bolts. Functions as expected, a little heavy and bulky but the trade off is worth it. Feels good to use, good grip and speed settings.

Title: SOLID
Review: Everything you could ask for and more, from the name you know and trust. Love the variable torque settings. This tool has all the power you could ever ask for, and then some, yet has the ability to regulate that power when control of the situation is needed thanks to the precision setting. Couldn't be more pleased with my investment. Thank you to all the men and women on team Dewalt for bringing yet again a solid tool to the lineup. Keep up the good work.

Title: Has broken loose ensuring I've thrown at it.
Review: The breakaway torque of this thing is amazing. I usually keep it on bolt mode so it eases into it. It's broken rusty exhaust free without breaking studs, and it has taken off most of the axle nuts we've thrown at it with the first try, with minimal effort, and very smoothly.This definitely keeps up with the other snap-on and Milwaukee air and battery impacts we have around the shop at a very reasonable price point. We'll see if the quality holds.

Title: Great but heavy tool
Review: Finally ordered one and I have been so far very impressed. It has plenty of power to get stubborn bolts broken free. The price is good for what you get, this is the bare tool only but I had batteries already.Only downsides would be the weight and size of the tool. It is a big tool, but for the power it provides it needs to be big.Have only had it in use a couple of days and it's not used all the time so I cant comment on battery life.

Title: Very powerful
Review: It's a big impact wrench with plenty of power to loosen just about anything, but has several settings that make prevent over-tightening. I would buy this one again for sure.

Review: I can't believe the power that this tool has to remove tire nuts. Easily removed nuts from a moderately rusted trailer and vehicles after a salty years on the roads. It weighs a bit but likely needed for the torque it has. No vibration to the wrist at all. 5Ah battery lasts forever and fits all my other DeWalt tools.
