Overview

DeWalt fits a brushless motor into a compact cordless impact wrench with a large square drive for automotive fasteners. A glass-filled nylon housing resists shop chemicals, and an LED ring lights the work.

Its compact size reaches hard-to-reach spots in automotive work, and the breakaway force handles stuck fasteners. It ships as a bare tool, so a battery and charger are separate purchases.

Who it's for

DIY mechanics and auto techs already on DeWalt's compact battery platform get a light wrench for fasteners in tight spots. Owners without those batteries need to buy a pack and charger first.

Performance notes

The brushless motor drives the impact mechanism, with breakaway torque higher than tightening torque for loosening stuck bolts. Compact length lets it reach into confined spaces, and the LED ring lights the fastener in low light. The glass-filled nylon housing resists harsh automotive chemicals and solvents.
