The maximum fastening torque is 330 ft-lbs, and the maximum breakaway torque is 600 ft-lbs, allowing you to complete a wide range of applications.
The compact design, measuring only 6.95″ in height and 3.48 lbs in weight, allows for easier access to small spaces and reduces user fatigue.
Through the Tool ConnectTM app, you can personalize your impact wrench by selecting from three fully customizable modes. These modes include: speed, LED brightness and delay, Precision WrenchTM Control, and Precision TapTM Controls, among others.
Precision WrenchTM enables the user to set the runoff speed in reverse, thereby preventing fastener runoff from occurring. Users can set pause before impact and auto shut off times in the forward mode to aid in the consistency of fastening operations.
Using Precision TapTM, you can cut threads more easily and quickly because the tool automatically alternates between forward and reverse motions (vs. manual tapping).
The DCF896 Mid-Range Impact Wrench is based on the DCF894 Mid-Range Impact Wrench, which is the most recent addition to the DEWALT® impact wrench family. Because of the integrated Bluetooth® technology, this tool can be used in conjunction with the free Tool ConnectTM mobile application and online inventory manager portal. This allows users to track, manage, and customize the tool settings. It is possible to program three customized modes based on individual requirements through the app. Users also have control over forward and reverse speed to account for different fastener sizes and types, LED brightness and delay, Precision WrenchTM mode (which is exclusive to the app), as well as the all-new exclusive Precision TapTM mode. Precision WrenchTM allows users to program the tool to automatically shut off after impacting for a predetermined amount of time. This feature is particularly useful for those performing repeatable applications, as it reduces variability in impact time, which helps to tighten consistency. A feature known as Precision TapTM mode is designed to make thread tapping faster and easier by having the tool automatically alternate between forward and reverse motions, while maintaining rotational consistency and obviating the need to change the tool’s direction manually. Make use of this tool in conjunction with other Tool ConnectTM offerings to provide a comprehensive management solution.
I purchased this to remove a Honda 19mm crank bolt for the purpose of replacing a timing belt. Although these bolts are usually on at a distance of 250ft or less, I could not get them off for the love of God. The weighted socket was also unsuccessful; after about 2 5.0amp batteries later, it decides to move and eventually come off, so I returned it and purchased the 1200ft version, which included a battery and charger for the same price.
