- This is the new Dewalt DCF902F2 XTREME 12V MAX cordless brushless impact wrench. 3/8" drive anvil with a hogring / friction ring. Kit comes with 2 batteries and charger. Or you can buy bare tool. Not a lot of power but works great for small fasteners. Very fast rpm like a impact driver.

will you do a follow up video using the tenghui 7ah battery off Amazon they are about 20$? I ordered a couple and the run time is way better then the DeWalt 3ah but all I have is a cheap torque wrench and chrome sockets. I'd like to see how it does with more power before I go invest in a 3/8 set of deep well impacts.
So far they hold charge and work on both dcb115 and dcb112 chargers. I'd like to see if it's worth buying a bunch while they are still cheap (no reviews or ratings on Amazon)
@@zack6892 this impact really is weak dont expect too much out of it Zack
@@singlecams yeah I hoped it would replace my 20v for most jobs but I don't think I'd use it for anything over 100ftlbs. I'm happy with it for the price but pretty much for small jobs.
This is the best video on this I’ve seen yet. Thank you for doing this
Other videos don't do this tool justice. You did a solid review .
I like that you provide lots of examples of usage combined with valuable commentary.
Love the real world application with rusted nuts and bolts. I bought the tool because of you.
I bought my wife the 3/8 and 1/4 impacts for when she’s working on pulling cars apart she loves them
Got the same impact. Fine for general purpose nut spinning. If the lug nuts aren’t to rusted or over torqued, it will do the trick and it’s small and light weight. I like it and thanks for the video!
Hi, this is absolutely the most realistic demonstration of an cordless impact on the car repair, excellent quality tools and video ty so much,
Ive gotta do brakes on my dad's 97 avalon.
The first 120 seconds of the video answered all the questions I had about this tool.
Beautiful
It's a great impact wrench. Its very good for removing engines of riding mowers and also for lawn mow pulleys basically anything the lawn mow needs to be removed. Just throwing that out there for people who are curious on buying it for a particular reason.
I bought this tool based in this video.
Up to 2:20 mark, low battery, much low power has been my experience. After 5 lug nuts, it can lose enough power to affect torque that it will not break loose nuts another wheel. So I switch the battery, slap depleted on charger.
You should buy a 3ah battery if you'll be using it a lot on big or corroded, stuck hardware.
Dewalt nailed it for non-professional market with this tool for $99.
Great video! Real world tests instead of lag screws in wood vs a Milwaukee in a shop. Thank you.
Keep em coming!
PS: Grease or oil your impact sockets. They are tighter fitting. Lube helps remove crusty nuts. Also, grease hog ring. Makes changing sockets much easier, especially if you're under a car on a creeper.
Edit: This is an impact wrench, and it is maddening that Dewalt intentionally handicapped it's main function by packaging it with two 2AH instead of say, one 3AH battery.

This will last much longer then the 3 ah.
Zack Link is broken.
@@michaspi they are out of stock I contacted mfg and they will repost in about a week.
Great video. I always thought heading to the boneyard to test tools would be a good way to do it. This is great. Thanks.
Buying one today, thanks for the vid
I bought one of this 2 weeks ago for 99 dollars it works okay since it had 2 batteries a bit easier to work under car to take off bolts is really a bolt breaker at fully charge battery not bad at all work great
I put a drop of WD40 silicone lubricant on the hog ring (wipe off excess) . Helps a lot. Also, sometimes rotating socket and trying a different position also often helps.
A 12mm bolt is small, but if it’s really rusted on like that one was, it’s understandable for a compact 12v 3/8 drive, also it was taking off wheel nuts which is extremely impressive and a lot more than you’d generally ask for a 3/8s. If you wanted more power surely you’d get the 18v.
I think I’ve seen all I need to see. I just bought this today.
Ahhh, Man. I bought the Hercules 12v for these mechanical tasks 2 months ago, before this Dewalt came out. Really like it, but It's too weak with adapters for any rusted bolts over 5/16". (BUT, it is perfect for smaller bolts, using on plastic like dash work because it has a nice progressive trigger to reduce speed and thus impact on smaller screws, like interior, in sheet metal, or aluminum).
Fortunately, I only paid $40 for it new off Ebay.
Thanks for review! Exactly what I needed to see. For the larger rusted bolts, I'll switch to a larger impact driver. The Milwaukee stubby handle is just too thick for my hands.
Dewalt owes you another commission for selling me one.
As fas as I know the 3/8 impact wrench are disigned to work until 16 mm socket size. So, 17mm or higher torque bolts you should use de 1/2 impact wrench. You need to know that if you abuse of the impact can very easy be damage. I impressed how well works this dewalt 3/8. Does more than expected
Wonderful video thank you for show us what it actually does
Very powerful impact ‘wow’
Best review I ever seen thanks
I just bought this impact and I'm also having this problem. I noticed the rubber o-ring under the hog ring on my impact is smashed. Maybe that's why I'm having trouble removing my sockets.
I liked this one so much I purchased the drill and the impact driver I did my brakes with the impact wrench it took all my bolts off my caliper and off of my wheels
leonard drone view I would still torque the wheels , idk about a 12 v tightening your wheels
Johnathan Escobar It tighten them up pretty well but I did go back and check it by hand
Nice for a little 12volt it's got power like good impacting torque
I may be getting a 3/8s impact soon, and I was thinking about going with the XR and coupling it with my current XR driver, but the new Extreme line looks really good. Plus, I can get an extreme impact driver too and keep my XR at home. Also, if I wanted to get the Mac 12v ratchet I could use these batteries.
For $99 kit you can’t beat that compared to the stubby! Just alone the 3/8 stubby tool only is almost double the 3/8 extreme impact wrench kit.
Dewalt doesn't beat a stubby with a 6.0 battery on it lol
@@ryanzuniga3397 True but for most people this will do just fine.
@@andybub45
Not true, theirs lugs my stubby won’t bust. The kit doesn’t even come close I’ve compared mine to a stubby that a buddy owns. Besides I have the high torque now and the right angle stubby. Dewalt in the mechanical tool section just doesn’t bust it.
@@ryanzuniga3397 you are busting lug nuts loose with a 3/8 impact? Lol ok
@@andybub45 you'd be surprise what a 3 8 can do
This is the most accurate video I've found. It's weird how much the right socket helps mine wouldn't break lugs with deep well chrome husky sockets but would break them easy with an impact rated extension and a shallow chrome. The batteries kinda suck for anything over 100ftlbs though I can eat away a while bar on a few lugs. I bought the 3ah and it lasts a lot longer they should come standard with 3ah.
Zack can you remove lug nuts at 130 with the 3amp battery?
@@joseguero19911 yes it will do 130 the only time it struggles is on high torque rusted lugs. If you torque then yourself at 130 and it hasn't been sitting in a field you should be good to go. Mine will break 130ftlbs with a 2amp battery.
I just ordered one of these from Lowe's today with the charger 2 batteries and the bag for 108 dlrs after tax. Hopefully I'm not disappointed. I just work on my own car a little honda civic I currently use a cheap hyper tough impact driver from Wal-Mart with adapters and a big corded bauer 1/2 for axle nuts and crank pulley bolt. I think this will work well for me bc I want a weaker one for the smaller bolts in the engine bay
Great impact good for anything on a lawnmower.
I pay $83 for this kit at lowe’s to be honest you can’t beat the price and I also have Milwaukee M12 3/8 Stubby gun,Tool and battery cost me over triple then this kit but I don't feel big different between this 2 gun
Willy G I’m big Milwaukee fan and looking at this video and looking at your comment for 83 dollars that ain’t bad at all,thanks for the info!!
I agree. Ofc the stubby is stronger hut they handle the same amount of varying ranges of torque. If you need stronger just get your mid or high torque. Because in reality there will be times where stubby can't take it off and you'll need the mid torque. Same deal with the dewalt. It's a bit weaker but much more compact. Better price aswell. Saves you money to buy a mid or high torque
Got one today, wouldn't be a great fit with sockets compared to snap on,kind slides off the anvil until the retaining ring stops it falling off completely
I’ve got the 1/2 impact and the 5ah kit Lowe’s sold with the bag for 289 or whatever think imma grab this 1 for the little tight areas the 1/2 won’t fit
Hello, good video! Question, what voltage and watts does the battery charger use? (110v? How many watts?) Thank you!
Just recently purchased this but in two minds whether to keep it or not... i do valeting/detailing and I'm looking something reliable when it comes to taking lug nuts off that are extremely tight.. would i be best going for a bigger impact wrench?
They need to upgrade from these first impact I like the 3 lights feature though
good review!
What speed did you have your drill set on?high,low or precision?
This video saved me some money
What adapter did you use for the lug nuts
Milwaukee M12 3/8 stubby has more power with a 250 ft-lbs, but for $99 deal for a kit it is unbeatable
@@joshm2243 Oh sorry my intent not to name the store. The community of Tool Boss or VCG Construction Channel gets the news of some hottest deal not only from HD but from few tool supplies too. I love those channels, and also helping Tool Review Zone channel get some subscriber, he's cool dude. Thanks
yeah well if you need more than 200 ft-lbs. Should prob use the big impact anyways.
I think for the size size its awesome and packs a pretty good torque rating. I think its more for the dyi'ers ant not everday job users. Keep in mind it runs off a battrry so it's not meant to disassemble the whole car or last a full work day. My advice, If you get it be sure to have extra batteries.
Paid $500 for the whole dewalt set.
No complaints
Impressive best 12v impact
Not better than Milwaukee stubby tho
I just bought this at Lowe's with the DCF902F2 + the 5Ah battery. I plan to use it to do car maintenance and watch other people's video and it seems like it wasn't going to break anything above 170in-lb. But from your video it looks like there shouldn't be any problems even with rusted bolts. Thanks for the video!
it is pretty weak they are doing like 170 on a lugnut or a bigger bolt these are small bolts i would wait and get the 901 or even the ryobi is way better
unless you really want something small like this for specifically small things. post back how it goes
Great video thank you
That’s impressive. My 3/8 20 volt struggles with that kinda stuff.
Well lowes has the dcf901b but lists the dcf903b 3/8ths as currently unavailable but that is good news. I've noticed there are two companies with the 903 3/8ths in stock , but are price gouging asking 190 plus shipping. The waiting continues.
I’m gonna go at Lowe’s to get me one of this nice piece of tool. It’s on sale. After I’m done fishing🎣
What did you catch?
So it really is useful for a lot just not the big or seized stuff
I bought the DCF923B yesterday for the sole purpose of not wanting to drag out my compressor to do brakes on my wife's Jeep. Sadly even with a 5mah battery it didn't get the job done.
What kind of sockets are you using
Would the 903 be better?
In fairness to DeWalt they rate this tool at 125 ft lbs of torque for fastening, break away torque is marketing hype. The Tool Boss tested this tool at about 125 ft lbs of torque on his channel, that's where it should be. A nice light duty impact at $99. USD at Lowes for tool, 2 batteries, dual voltage charger and bag a solid deal.
side_show_tone Pricing likely has changed. At the time of my comment that was the deal being offered at Lowes.
@@cardo1111 Used to work at Lowe's and they're ridiculous with their price changes, especially with power tools. They yo-yo up and down almost constantly with DeWalt in particular.
Makita seems to rate it for both breakaway and tightening.
For the price of $99 for the kit, it's an excellent deal. Can take the wheels off of small cars and do some smaller things around the house. Not bad! I bought the Milwaukee stubby though, lol.
I dont think it's 100....
@Mr. B I just bought one on sale for $100 cad and it came with a free 12v 3amp battery
That’s a nice tool
Plenty of torque for a tool that size. Looks nice and low-profile.
I just bought one cant wait to use my.. In a timing belt job
Hi my dear friend. Marvelous video as ever! Greetings!!!
Any troubles with socket retention? I have a husky set but none of them stay on except the extensions. Wanted to know if anyone had the same issue? And maybe any ideas on a different set.
They have to be impact sockets. They are a tighter fit. If you're using regular sockets they are most likely loose.
DaBuGzLiFe I was using some impact ones but I guess they don’t work since they are thin wall?
So..... This little 12v has same or better specs than the XR 20v dcf890?
890 listed as 150 ftlbs max and this has 125. Not sure what max breakaway is on the 890.
But that doesn't make sense that a 12v tool would have better specs than the flagship 3/8 20v XR
I'm surprised how well this works, I think it has more power then the 3/8 xr 20 volt impact
It beats my 20v dcf887 although I lose torque having to run an adapter the 887 claims almost 1900 inch pounds and the 12v smokes it for break away torque.
@@zack6892 I don't know about that. I have the 887 890 and this 12v. The 890 smokes the 12v and the 887 does even better even though it's a 1/4 hex.
No one mentions this is rated 200ft/lbs torque but with the 20v battery. If he replaced the battery with the 20v one he would get those stuck bolts out easier
I got one yesterday at Lowe's it came with the bag and two batteries and they gave me the big 5hr battery for buying the tool and it was only a $105 bucks
Great deal
That's what I just picked up. I'll probably sell the battery since I don't really need the 5ah. For around 50-60. So the kit will be around $40. Can't beat that lol
I feel that struggle of getting a tool stuck😂😂😂
Hey, Dewalt: You watching?
See the awkward positions this tool is being used in?
Imagine how much easier it would be to use in a difficult positions with a longer angled back trigger that can be accessed with middle fingers, and / or gloved hands.
You think the tools are watching?
@@trexmidnite Damn, not going to lie, that comment had me laughing.
Great video onec again best on TH-cam. You should re do the Miliw mid with 9.0 Amp battery if possible because I have a mid with 5.0 battery and it's definitely not 600lbs brake lose.....
Get a Dewalt DC899 1/2 inch with deep well sockets.
Purchased.. and returned. Haha.. I'm actually doing my suspension rn on my 04 civic ex cpe (Woot woot single cam!) 😋 this impact wrench wasn't of sufficient power for my liking and needs. So after doing a little research I'm gonna get a milwaukee 2861. You still have yours?
jred23pyro for doing suspension mostly on those big 17 and 19 mm is impossible for that impact size does really help if you loosen it a little not a bad work though
@@andrewdero6271 I love my Milwaukee 2861-20 brotha. It's perfect for my needs. 😁 I jumped the gun when i seen that dewalt.. my buddy that works on cars always said Milwaukee Happy Halloween
jred23pyro id love to have some Milwaukee tools too but its kinda expensivr dewalt works for me lol
@@andrewdero6271: Exactly. Milwaukee's way overpriced for my bank account. Your just paying big bucks for a name, like Apple. If you look at the best rated cordless impact wrench it's a generic brand that costs under $100 with batteries. It was better than DeWalt or Milwaukee combined. Problem is it's only sold online. The reviews are on here for it.
Best asmr
Nice 👌 video
एक बैटरी कितने घंटे चल जाती है
So is it worth it to just get the 20volt brushless 3/8 impact?
i've never used it but I will tell you they are about the same size because i think the dcf890 3/8 impact is the same as the dcf887 impact driver and I have the dcf887 20v here and its the same size as this 12v dcf902
@@singlecams yeah they are close in size. I have the 890 and 887 and the 887 kicks the 890 ass. How does this 12v compare to your 887 when using sockets?
Honestly you would need a 1/2" drive for lug nuts. Nice review
Shut up, you don't even know what you're talking about, the size of the square drive means nothing, go look at the dcf899
@@shadowwolfXD97 well i use a 2' 1/2" breaker bar and these lug nuts loosen without issue.
Try the new dcf901 1/2 impact with the 5.0 ah battery. That will make some people cry lol
The reason your sockets get stuck on the hog ring is because you are using chrome sockets. The retention on chrome sockets is 4 indents/cut outs inside the drive side which grip the hog ring on 4 sides. Impact sockets don't get stuck because they use the hole on the side for retention which allows the friction ring to do its job properly. Use the right sockets and you won't have a problem anymore.
Mike that is not true I was using impact sockets in this video and only 1 chrome socket. This was already talked about long time ago that is why I made the how to change out the hog ring to pin detent video for the dcf899. Not all hogrings are made the same. I pointed out the poor hogring on the makita as well for other reasons.
In this video all the black sockets are impacts the orange is a chrome.
Is this worth $100 yea or no
Need this baby so bad

DeWalt needs to come out with protective impact wrench boots
Check out Mac tools, dewalt and Mac have the same basic power tools, most of the boots that Mac offers crossover between the two brands.
How do you feel it compares with the Milwaukee Stubby? Seems less powerful by a lot!
Definitely less powerful than a 3/8 stubby on specs alone but it's also easy to see. But in saying that the M12 Stubby is a much bulkier tool and I am also guessing it's heavier. Not sure they can be directly compared to one another. I think the Milwaukee 2454-20 would be closer in size, weight and torque to the 12V Xtreme.
MrBigblock78 you're right, this seems like a driver where they put a hogged anvil. I have the stubby and it appears much fatter but the weight is still quite low. It works very well under hood. Not sure how this DEWALT lineup comes in with its apparent limitations!
@@ibrazeau3044 yeap, it is just that. A driver with a hogged anvil. But in saying that it it doesn't make it a bad tool. Most tools are good if used within their limitations. Still with only limited number of new Xtreme tools Dewalt has put out so far I doubt people will be rushing out to buy them or switching from other 12V brands. Plus they need to sort out bigger capacity batteries too. Number one complaint from new Xtreme tool owners seems to be the battery draining very quickly.
I love my M12 stubby, the M12 3/8' 2454-20 for very tight spaces in the engine bay, M12 Fuel ratchet and heap of other tools from the Milwaukee M12 range. Can't see anything that would make me jump ship just yet.
MrBigblock78 ditto to that! Seems like another marketing ploy from DEWAL again! I had the 2755B and replaced it with the Stubby... no regrets and feel it was a good move. Would never consider doing something like that with this little tool. For very tight spots, where either of my stubby or ratchet don't fit (can't wait to try out those new long neck fuels), I use my Gen2 driver and it usually does the trick!
This took looks pretty impressive to me, doesn't seem that far off especially for the money. I tried the stubby, sure they have bigger batteries but it's heavier and bulky
Is this comparable to the m12 stubby just cheaper?
Hi no dont get this. get dcf901 1/2 check out my vid of that or dcf903 (3/8). Like and subscribe or dont subscribe 🤷♀️and that's why I dont make these vids anymore

Maybe if they make bigger 12v batteries it will be better it's only a 2ah batteries
How’s the battery life on the impact??
For low torque applications they do great if your working over 100ftlbs your gonna want to get the bigger 3ah batteries.
@@zack6892 could you use 4ah on this?
@@DavidHernandez-ue4fz DeWalt biggest 12v battery is a 3 ah. On Amazon there is a company called tenghui they make a 12v 7ah. I've been testing it and it seems to offer longer sustained torque then the dewalt but not sure on longevity yet.
@@zack6892 i have a dewalt 4ah battery,but i would like to know if fits on this?
@@DavidHernandez-ue4fz probably not I assume you mean a 20v. These 12v extreme take a different battery then the 20v the only thing interchangeable are the 20/12v chargers.
Milwaukee impact wrench fuel 3/8 not spots off it 745 nm busting torque
Lol you made up my mind to by on
Wait this is a 12volt?!?!
The Milwaukee 3/8 stubby would've taken all those fasteners with no issues
my issue with the stubby from experience is that while it benefits from being extremely short, it suffers from a requiring a larger diameter hammer so the distance from the center of the anvil to the edge of the tool is greater so it winds up not being able to get to some fasteners. its also heavier, and the light on this kicks ass. supposedly dewalt is coming out with a more powerful 12v impact. but for $99 right now at lowes in a kit, its going to be hard to beat.
Upgraded from an older 18v kit. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv I independently chose the drill and impact tool, before I came across the kit.I like the 3 speed impact gun. It seems more powerful than my older one, and it can be set to be really gentle. The drill is more appropriately sized for my use. I used to have a hammer drill, but I did not like that it was so big and it was not a great hammer drill. I rather have a smaller drill like this, and then get a corded hammer drill for the odd case I need that.
Jeez. Why did I just buy the 1/2 dcf899? Lol
There is a 7ah battery that will give this thing much more chooch...able to do over 200ft lbs on half a charge...for 25 bucks on prime!
इंडिया में इसका प्राइस कितना होगा
Holding it on when it clearly can’t break the bolt is a great way to burn the motor out
if you watch the gauge on the torque testing machine it takes about 10 seconds for the impact to build peak torque for example these 2 vids

Bought it because it was $99 but I should of gotten the Milwaukee stubby. This thing is pretty weak.
I said it was weak in the video. I dont think people actually listened to me talking maybe just skip to the action
I think its 1) M12 2) Ridgid 3) some others. Not sure about this dewalt
Makes me want to go to the junk yard and take shit apart.
This thing couldn't even loosen my lug nuts torque to 76 ft.
I doubt that because I tested it myself over and over. 80ft-lbs torqued with a wrench no problem. You need to charge the battery.
He might be correct. I too torque my lugnuts to 76 ft-lbs and found even a Milwaukee 18v mid level impact wrench struggling (300ftlbs max).
