It will not, under any circumstances, remove the semi-lug nuts. It also won't take the lug nuts off pickup trucks or SUVs. And, while it may be able to remove an undertorqued lug nut from a small car, it will not be able to remove properly torqued lug nuts from anything. This is a ONE QUARTER INCH impact driver for screws, small nuts, and bolts. To pull wheels, you'll need at least a 1/2" impact with 300+ FOOT POUNDS of torque (which won't be enough for semis).
This driver requires 1/4" hex shank bits, but you could use regular drill bits by purchasing a 1/4" hex shank drill chuck adapter, such as the Neiko 20754A adapter on Amazon.
Actually, I used it on the spur of the moment to replace the tire on my wife's CR-V. I grabbed this impact, the adapter, the socket, and my 4-way and headed to the park, where she discovered she had picked up a screw at soccer practice. I had intended to use the 4 way to loosen them up and then use the impact to zip them off and on, but I decided to try the impact first. When I put the spare on, it broke loose four of the five nuts and did an excellent job of seating them all. I finished torqueing them with the four-way wrench, but they barely moved. This tool, like any of the 3/8" or regular duty 1/2" impacts, wouldn't have stood a chance against the lug nuts on my 1 ton diesel, but neither would any of the 3/8" or regular duty 1/2" impacts.
We regret any inconvenience or difficulty in locating information. This impact and hammer drill is powered by a 120V charger, which is included. DEWALT does not recommend attempting to force the charger to work at 220V with an adaptor or a transformer.

Get one. It's a small bag: This is something I really enjoy. I've been working on automobiles for a long time and wish I'd gotten one sooner. Working on cars becomes much faster and more enjoyable as a result of this. Consider how much time you spend removing nuts and bolts from parts if you repair or modify automobiles. On a car, the bolts could be 15 or more. There are 24 threads per inch, which means each bolt must be rotated 15 times to move one inch. Consider how much faster that would be if it happened almost instantly. br>br>This tool has a lot of torque for a lightweight tool, so it can handle a lot of jobs, and it's small and cordless, so it can reach a lot of places beneath the car. I still loosen bolts that are too tight for this tool with a wrench before hitting them with this driver because it saves so much time, and the same goes for tightening - I'll tighten it up most or all of the way (depending on the torque required), then use a torque wrench to set the final torque. br>br>The bag does not quite match the scale depicted in the photo. It's cute for bringing a sandwich to work, but don't expect to bring a club sandwich or anything with a lot of tomato in it.
One (1) battery is included. 5 ah and includes a canvass as if it were a carrying case (rather than a hard case made of plastic). There are no extras (no bits, adapters, etc. ) included with the charger. Although you can choose between forward and reverse, there are no other controls besides the speed-sensitive trigger (the more you depress the trigger, the faster the drill rotates). Despite the dreadful number one, This driver (1/4"), powered by a 5ah battery, drives 3inch wood nails into a standard 4x4 without a pilot hole. Lightweight tools require more pressure to keep them from bouncing out of the screw, but they are less stressful to hold. The 20V battery has a lot of little plastic grooves and mounting slots for attaching to the drill, which makes me nervous that something will break and ruin the drill or the battery (attach and detach battery carefully). In contrast to the 14, 4/18v DeWalts with a slam-in battery). To insert a driver (flathead/phillips), simply pull back the mounting ring, insert the bit, and release the bit, which will lock into place. It DOES NOT STORE COMMERCIAL DRILL BITES. I'm going to see if I can find a drill bit adapter and see how well an impact driver works for drilling holes. Although the rotation speed can be controlled with the trigger, there is no torque control. br>Although only one 20volt battery was included in the box when it arrived, the Amazon description indicates that an additional 5ah battery is included. It was discovered that the second battery is being shipped separately for some reason. The blank canvas- nylon- The case is sturdy, and the zipper is strong and large enough to hold tools and accessories, but it appears to work better for holding my welding gear (gloves, electrode cables, stinger, and so on; a helmet will not fit with this gear). I got a cordless DeWalt grinder for a good deal because it didn't come with a charger or battery. Both the impact driver and the grinder will (obviously) be powered by the same batteries and charger that came with the impact driver.
Even though it is inexpensive, Dewalt's driver is excellent. This is a fantastic piece of software. To drive screws, you'll need a lot of power. I just finished putting up 8-foot-tall shelves in my garage, open shelves in my kitchen, and shelves in my basement food storage area. This made the job a lot easier. This impact driver wore out my hand before it wore out the impact driver. After about 5 hours of work, the battery was still very full. I drilled about a dozen holes and had no problems. Following that, I spent hours screwing 2x4s and plywood together. I'm just a regular guy who works on small projects around the house. This device served its purpose well. I've got everything I require. I'm sure the brushless motor version is more efficient and powerful, but unless you do this type of work on a regular basis, I can't imagine this brush engine version being inadequate for weekend (home) warrior work. Today's work was probably the toughest day I've ever put a tool through. I'm pretty sure I didn't even use half of the battery's capacity. There is only one battery in my car. began with a full battery. When I was finished, I plugged it into the charger, which took about 30 minutes to recharge. (Not to mention the fact that I don't have a speed charger. ) Simply the most basic. ) anyway, great tool at a great price; in the future, when or if this one fails, I'll probably buy the brushless version just to compare and see if it's better. However, for the types of projects I do around the house, this tool is perfect.
My first driver with an impact. I arrived at the office. This DW is being used by two of my coworkers. I put it to the test. got sold. Made in the United States of America! I purchased the DCF885C2, which includes a spare battery and a belt hook. It's not a soft bag, but rather a hard case.
I'm going to stick with DeWalt because it allows me to. For years, I've used a "good ole'" battery-powered electric screwdriver to assemble lumber. In fact, I bought the DeWalt screwdriver in this series a year ago specifically for that purpose. Then I saw these impact drivers being used in YouTube videos and knew I had to get one. It was an investment that paid off handsomely. My wrists and hands are no longer in pain. Furthermore, the screws are easy to install. It's absolutely incredible. So that I can save money on batteries, I'm sticking with DeWalt. It is not inexpensive. I don't agree with the prices they charge.
My drill just started smoking, despite the fact that there was no lode in it. This drill is only a couple of years old. I've had no issues with other DeWalt drills. Could you please advise me on how I should proceed?.
Hello, I bought this drill a couple of months ago for a future project. I started working on the project earlier today, which consisted of simply drilling some screws into a flange and then into some wood. I was able to install 6/8 screws, but the drill would no longer spin for more than 2 seconds at a time, and the output was very low. I thought it might be the battery, so I fully charged it, but the problem persists. I squandered a lot of money on this drill, which I can no longer use. br>br>If I could do an exchange, I'd be willing to give it another shot.
