The DeWALT 20V MAX XR Brushless High Torque 3/4" Impact Wrench Kit (DCF897P2) delivers professional-grade fastening power for demanding applications where reliable torque output and tool control are essential. Engineered with a brushless motor for increased efficiency and runtime, this cordless impact wrench produces up to 700 ft-lbs of maximum torque and up to 1,200 ft-lbs of maximum breakaway torque - making it a go-to choice for heavy equipment maintenance, automotive service, and industrial assembly work. The compact, lightweight build lets users work in confined spaces without sacrificing the raw power needed to break loose stubborn or heavily corroded fasteners.

Key Features

• Up to 700 ft-lbs of maximum torque and up to 1,200 ft-lbs of maximum breakaway torque - provides the driving and removal force needed for large fasteners and seized hardware without requiring a corded tool or pneumatic compressor setup.
• Multi-speed control with three settings (0-400 / 1,200 / 1,900 RPM) - lets the user match tool speed to the task at hand, reducing the risk of over-torquing fasteners on sensitive assemblies or ramping up for high-volume fastening.
• 2,400 impacts per minute - delivers rapid, consistent impact energy that helps drive and remove large-diameter fasteners efficiently, reducing operator fatigue on extended jobs.
• Compact 8.81 in. length and 7.2 lb. tool weight - allows comfortable single-hand use and better access in tight clearance areas such as wheel wells, machinery housings, and structural connections.
• 3/4" hog ring anvil - secures sockets firmly during use while allowing quick socket changes between fastener sizes without additional tools or accessories.
• LED light with 20-second delay after trigger release - illuminates the work area in low-light conditions and stays on long enough to reposition without fumbling, improving accuracy and safety.
• 20V MAX XR brushless motor platform - brushless technology reduces friction and heat buildup, extending motor life and improving energy efficiency compared to brushed motor designs.

Why This Product

• With up to 1,200 ft-lbs of breakaway torque on a cordless 20V MAX platform, this impact wrench tackles heavily torqued or corroded fasteners that smaller cordless tools cannot handle - without the hose, compressor, or power cord that pneumatic and corded alternatives require.
• Three selectable speed ranges (0-400, 1,200, and 1,900 RPM) give the user precise control across a variety of fastener sizes and materials, making this wrench useful for both delicate assembly tasks and high-force removal work on the same jobsite.
• At just 8.81 in. long and 7.2 lbs., this tool fits into tighter spaces and causes less fatigue during extended use than comparable full-size impact wrenches, which is a meaningful advantage in overhead or confined-access work.
• The 3/4" hog ring anvil retention system keeps sockets locked securely during high-torque driving and breakaway pulls, reducing the chance of dropped sockets or unplanned disengagement in demanding field conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the maximum torque and the maximum breakaway torque ratings on this impact wrench?

Maximum torque (700 ft-lbs) refers to the highest torque the tool can deliver when driving a fastener into a joint. Maximum breakaway torque (1,200 ft-lbs) is the higher force the tool can generate when breaking loose an already-tightened or seized fastener - this figure is typically greater because it takes more energy to overcome static friction than to continue driving.

What does the three-speed setting control on the DCF897P2 allow me to do?

The multi-speed control offers three no-load speed settings - 0-400, 1,200, and 1,900 RPM - so you can select a lower speed for controlled, precise fastening on smaller hardware and a higher speed for rapid driving or removal of large fasteners on heavy equipment or structural applications.

What type of socket retention does the 3/4" anvil use on this impact wrench?

The anvil uses a hog ring retention pin design, which grips the socket firmly during high-torque driving and breakaway operations. This system helps keep the socket securely seated while also allowing for relatively quick socket changes between different fastener sizes.

How long does the LED work light stay on after I release the trigger?

The built-in LED light is designed with a 20-second delay, meaning it remains illuminated for 20 seconds after the trigger is released. This gives you enough time to reposition your hands, adjust your workpiece, or line up the next fastener without losing visibility in dimly lit work areas.
