Overview
The DeWalt DCF512B is a compact impact tool weighing 2.6 pounds, sold as a bare tool under DeWalt's naming convention, where the B suffix marks tool-only listings without a battery or charger.
The listed voltage of 120 does not match the weight and impact tool naming, which point to a compact cordless tool in the lighter battery classes rather than a corded 120V tool, so that figure most likely reflects a charger's AC input rating rather than the tool's own battery voltage. Buyers used to DeWalt's bare tool listings, marked with a B at the end of the model number, will recognize that a compatible battery and charger need to be purchased separately or already owned.
- 2.6 lb tool weight
- Bare tool (B suffix), battery sold separately
Who it's for
Suits existing DeWalt battery platform owners who need an additional bare impact tool without paying for another battery and charger. Not suited to first time cordless tool buyers who need a complete, ready to use kit out of the box.
Pros and cons
- Light 2.6 lb body for one-handed use
- Fits buyers already on the DeWalt battery platform
- Sold as a bare tool, no battery or charger included
- Listed voltage spec is unclear and does not match a typical battery rating
Performance notes
At 2.6 pounds, this sits in DeWalt's more compact impact tool weight class, which trades some maximum torque for easier one-handed control in tight spaces compared to their full-size impact wrenches.
