Question: I have the big brother 059 300 ft pounds impact, I was looking at this model to get for smaller jobs/tight spots instead of a electric ratchet?  help?
Document: The dewalt i purchased was noo where near the power i needed, this was my fault for not reading the foot pounds/inch pounds correctly. wanted something with at least 300 ft/pds or more.May come in handy on smaller jobs.
If you are looking at the DC823 or DC825 or any other 18v impact, get this instead. Why? 25% more torque than DC825 (1330 in/lb) and 240 more inch pounds than DC823(1500in/lb). The DC820 has 1740 in/lb. With a couple simple adapters you can do anything you can with the other 2 impacts. Any "impact rated" 1/2" to 3/8" adapter will get you the functionality of the DC823.
I bought this Friday, 9-6-13, on line from Amazon without physically seeing one at a retail store. The next day, Sat, I went looking to see exactly what I had ordered. None of the Dewalt suppliers had this particular model to look at (home depot, sears, lowes, ace hardware, etc), but they did have the next model, the 300 ft lb (DW059K) which is considerably larger and heavier.
I have the bigger version of this impact gun. That thing is a work horse. I read all the wonderful reviews on this guy and thought, hey I already paid big bucks for the battery, I might as well make use of my extra one and get this smaller version for the price. It was a great buy. I really like how compact it is. Of course it's not gonna break off lug bolts when you have to take off your tires, but it will still handle a good load.
Yes, it really will remove lug nuts. I bought it for work in automotive engine compartments and other tight spaces and it works perfectly. Very compact and way more powerful than it looks when you first see it. As others have said, why bother with the 3/8 drive version when the 1/2 has more power? I would highly recommend this tool to anyone that wants to get their jobs done quicker and easier.
I didn't realize it is the lowest torque of the family of 1/2&#34; Dewalt impacts. 145 ft lbs. In fact I didn't know there was a family of 1/2&#34; Dewalt impact tools. As it turns out, They have about 4 models that go all the way up to 300 ft lbs which would have been the one I wanted. I did loosen a nut on my pickup truck wheel after a couple of tries.
I love all my dewalt tools...except this one. It lacks serious power even for what its rated at. AT max i was getting 80ft lbs. On the plus side it works for smaller jobs but i have no concerns about not using an impact socket with this puppy since it works like a little girl.
I have a lot of Dewalt tools, and have never really complained about them before. The cordless drivers and other tools have always come thru for me in the past, I had the larger 18V impact wrench driver in my tool box for a while, but someone made off with it one day, so I decided to replace it with a smaller verision of the 18V and this does not have the power to do the jobs needed. So now it's just a paper weight.
My only regret in the purchase of this cordless impact is I didn't buy it years ago! Sure...I got it on sale and saved quite a bit of money, but I hate to think of all those jobs over the years where this would have been a real time-saver for me.I typically use this for freeing tough fasteners and getting things off and on FAST. Once it's tight, I go to my trusty torque wrench.
Oh I wish I had this tool years ago. I have done so many jobs with this tool. Rarely use my air impact anymore.How do they get so much torqe out of a battery.? Changing a tire is a snap.But still tighten lug nuts with a torqe wrench od course.
Answer: yes
