DeWALT 20V MAX XR 3-Speed 1/4 in. High Torque Impact Driver Kit by DeWALT is purpose-built for professional fastening applications that demand maximum power and precision. Delivering up to 2,500 in-lbs. of max torque - the highest torque rating among DeWALT impact drivers - this cordless 1/4 in. driver handles heavy-duty screwdriving, self-drilling screws, and tapping applications with speed and confidence. Whether you are running sheet metal screws on a commercial jobsite or driving structural fasteners in tight spaces, this kit includes an 8.0Ah XR POWERPACK battery and fast charger so you stay productive from the first screw to the last.

Key Features

• Up to 2,500 in-lbs. of max torque - DeWALT's highest torque impact driver, delivering up to 66% more torque than standard impact drivers, so even the most stubborn or oversized fasteners drive completely without stripping or stalling
• Up to 63% faster driving - dramatically increases productivity on fastening-heavy tasks, meaning you complete more work in less time on the same battery charge
• 3-speed mode select with variable speed trigger - speeds 1 and 2 are optimized to match the installation speed of commonly used self-drilling and tapping screws, reducing the risk of overdriving, stripping, or damaging fasteners or workpieces
• No-load speed up to 3,800 RPM - provides pro-level rotational power for demanding jobs where throughput and consistent drive depth matter
• 9 built-in LEDs with 20-minute work light setting - illuminates the entire work area beyond just the fastening point, so you can work accurately in low-light conditions, confined spaces, or overhead applications
• 1/4 in. quick-connect hex chuck - allows fast, convenient bit changes without fumbling, keeping your workflow moving on multi-fastener tasks
• Tool Connect Chip Ready - compatible with DeWALT's Tool Connect Site Manager app for asset tracking, giving contractors and crew managers visibility into tool location and jobsite inventory
• 8.0Ah XR POWERPACK battery included - the high-capacity battery extends runtime significantly on heavy fastening cycles, reducing interruptions for recharging during long production days

Why This Product

• At 2,500 in-lbs. of max torque, this impact driver handles fastening tasks that would stall or slow a standard driver - making it the right choice for structural work, metal framing, and high-volume production fastening where power truly matters
• The 3-speed mode select is specifically tuned for self-drilling and tapping screws, which means less cam-out, fewer stripped fasteners, and cleaner results compared to running a single-speed tool at full power on every application
• Nine built-in LEDs with a dedicated 20-minute work light mode transform this driver into a hands-free lighting solution in attics, crawl spaces, and poorly lit work areas - a practical advantage on real jobsites
• Bundled with an 8.0Ah XR POWERPACK battery and fast charger, this kit delivers a complete, ready-to-work solution without requiring additional battery purchases, reducing upfront tooling costs for new users on the 20V MAX platform

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the 3-speed mode select improve fastening accuracy?

Speeds 1 and 2 are optimized to match the installation speed of commonly used self-drilling and tapping screws, allowing the user to dial in the correct drive speed for the fastener type rather than relying solely on trigger pressure. This reduces the likelihood of overdriving or stripping fasteners, resulting in cleaner, more consistent installations across high-volume tasks.

What advantage does the 9-LED ring provide over a single-LED light?

The 9 built-in LEDs illuminate the work area beyond just the fastening point itself, reducing shadows and blind spots around the bit. The dedicated 20-minute work light setting also lets the LEDs remain on independently of the trigger, making the driver useful as a hands-free lighting tool in dark or confined work spaces.

What is Tool Connect Chip Ready and how does it benefit a contractor?

Tool Connect Chip Ready means the driver is compatible with DeWALT's Tool Connect Site Manager app for asset tracking. Contractors and site managers can monitor tool location and jobsite inventory through the app, which helps reduce tool loss, improve accountability on multi-crew projects, and keep tooling records organized.

Why is an 8.0Ah battery included instead of a smaller capacity battery?

The 8.0Ah XR POWERPACK battery provides extended runtime on demanding fastening cycles, which is especially beneficial on production-heavy work such as metal framing, decking, or structural screwdriving where a smaller battery would require more frequent recharging. Including a high-capacity battery with the kit means the driver is ready for full-day professional use right out of the box.
