OK DEWALT

So i was perusing through Amazon today. It caught my eye.

 

Does this have enough torque to remove lug nuts?

I have Milwaukee M18 2860-20 (450 ft-lbs) and M12 2554-20 (250 ft-lbs). The smaller one does not have enough torque for stubborn cases.

 

For me the big question is batteries. Do you already have dewalt batteries?
They are where the $ is.
There are some counterfeits on Amazon too.

 

Now I’d be interested in tools I can just toss some brand-agnostic 18650’s into but I hear they use them anyway inside the batteries

 

Looks like this Dewalt has 400 ft-lbs, unlike the higher end model 961B that has 1750 ft-lbs.

 

I have the DCF891 which supposedly supplies 600 ft-lbs, with 800 ft-lbs breakaway torque. It has no problems whatsoever with lug nuts.

 

That's the same battery my DeWalt lawnmower uses, two.

 

I actually like my DeWalt corded 1/2 impact. Its not powerful but snugs them down.

 

Great price on a really good impact. I have one myself and use it all the time on my rig. Plenty of power and torque.

 

Looks like a good deal 400 ft-lb is enough for the steering stop bolts and axle nuts.

 

Please stop posting reasons for us to buy MORE stuff.

 

Gen2 M12 2563-20 stubby now does 550 ft-lb, should be enough to remove the crank pulley bolt, which is probably the most stubborn fastener on the vehicle: https://www.northerntool.com/produc...ve-size-1-2-in-volts-12-model-2563-20-6051870

 

I use kobalt 24v for anything bigger than a Milwaukee m12 due to a clearance leaf blower long ago. The mid torque stubby 1/2" has been great.

It turns into a long term relationship since you don't want a bunch of incompatible stuff--I use the same batteries to mow the lawn.

 

How much is the battery ?

 

I have the bigger model (DCF900P1)

And it's a beast. It'll snap your wheel studs.

 

I see a 4Runner rim.

 

The larger 20v batteries $60 each. I order 2 last week for $100.

 

Yeah, you want at least the 20v/5amp batteries to get all the torque capability out of it. But it's a great set up.

 

I have the DCF921. Never had any trouble getting lug nuts off with it. It also broke free the oil filter canister on our 2015 Camry that was overtightened by a quick change place. (Replaced the canister after removing it to be safe)

I've also used it to change out lawnmower blades. Great tool.

I'd also recommend a set of these sockets.

I have a really old harbor freight pneumatic earthquake that will slow the earth’s rotation. My son’s pneumatic DeWalt could not remove a pitman arm with the puller. The old HF had no problem. Dragging a hose sucks but so does cursing.
