DEWALT has announced several fastening solutions joining the XR roster that houses DEWALT’s 20V MAX* batteries and power tools. The new 20V MAX* XR 3/4- and 1/2-in. High Torque Impact Wrenches, 20V MAX* XR 1/4-in. Quiet Hydraulic Impact Driver and the existing 20V MAX* XR 1/4-in. Three-Speed High Torque Impact Driver are designed to meet a range of user needs from max torque for heavy-duty applications to quiet operation in noise-sensitive work environments.
“DEWALT’s latest fastening solutions not only meet the standards of the XR lineup, but are industry-leading with advanced engineering and design features,” said Bill Harman, vice president of Product Management, DEWALT. “In its 100th year, DEWALT continues its commitment to user-focused innovation with these tools that meet specialized needs like high torque, less noise, and optimized ergonomics to drive productivity.”
20V MAX* XR 3/4- and 1/2-in. High Torque Impact Wrenches
For tough jobs demanding power, DEWALT has introduced its highest-rated max torque impact wrenches: the new 20V MAX* XR 3/4-in. High Torque Impact Wrench (DCF964) and 20V MAX* XR 1/2-in. (DCF961) High Torque Impact Wrench with expanded capabilities. The new DCF964 provides up to 102% more torque‡ for use in tough applications.
For heavy-duty 1/2-in. fastening applications, the DCF961 provides users with more performance with up to 28% more torque when paired with the XR POWERSTACK Oil-Resistant 5 Ah Battery‡ . Both tools feature a glass-filled nylon housing to help protect against oils and solvents. Other features include PRECISION WRENCH mode, which helps prevent overtightening and fastener run-off, and a four-mode push button switch to change speeds and LED brightness.
20V MAX* XR 1/4-in. Quiet Hydraulic Impact Driver
The new 20V MAX* XR 1/4-in. Quiet Hydraulic Impact Driver (DCF870) is DEWALT’s quietest impact driver***. This tool caters to noise-sensitive environments. Designed for framing, cabinetry and other applications in tight areas, the impact driver delivers up to 40% faster driving with consistent performance in demanding applications and cold temperatures. The tool also features nine built-in LEDs and a 20-minute work light mode to help illuminate dark workspaces.
New fastening tools will join the existing 20V MAX* XR 1/4-in. Three-Speed High Torque Impact Driver (DCF860) and 20V MAX* XR 1/2-in. High Torque Impact Wrench (DCF961) to expand the growing XR fastening portfolio.
*Maximum initial battery voltage (measured without a workload) is 20 volts. Nominal voltage is 18.
**Regarding battery, based on longer life (charge cycles) and more power, not in application vs. DEWALT 20V MAX* batteries with comparable amp hours.
‡ More torque: DCF964: rated max fastening torque using DCBP520 vs. DCF897 with 700 ft. lbs. using DCB205; DCF961: Rated max tightening torque using DCBP520 vs. DCF900 Impact Wrench with 1,030 ft. lbs. using DCB205 (sold separately).
***DCF870: DEWALT’s quietest impact driver - while impacting only, RMS sound pressure difference with 5-in. deck screw into PT 6x6 using DCBP034 vs. currently produced DEWALT cordless impact drivers. Quieter operation - RMS sound pressure difference vs. DCF787 with 3-in. deck screw into PT 4x4 using DCBP034 (sold separately); Faster driving - vs. DCF787 with 3- x 3/8-in. lag bolt into PT 4x4 using DCBP034.
