DEWALT is growing its 20V MAX tools with its newest Mid-Range Impact Wrench (DCF896). This tool will help keep you from under or over-tightening screws and bolts thanks to the TOOL CONNECT system and its features. This wrench will make your work more efficient with its lightweight power and technology.
What’s New?
This impact wrench retains all the power from the previous models in this new compact size, weighing only 3.48 lbs. (tool only). It achieves 0-2000 RPM and 3100 impacts per minute with ease, making securing any bolt through concrete or arduous material not a problem. The machine’s torque is impressive, offering 330 ft.-lbs in the future and 600 ft.-lbs. In reverse. It allows you to drive or back out a stuck bolt snagged in the concrete. It is better than getting a grinder, cutting off the bolt, or drilling it out of the hole. You can get this tool in a Hog Ring kit (DCF896HP2) or Detent Pin kit (DCF896P2) configuration. You can also get the Detent or Hog Ring as bare tools.
The Mid-Range Impact Wrench is also part of DeWalt’s ever-expanding TOOL CONNECT system, filled with technology to help maximize your tool. For instance, PRECISION WRENCH is a control that automatically turns off the power after impacting for a pre-selected amount of time. This feature will prevent over- or under-tightening by maintaining consistency in the tool’s duration. PRECISION TAP is another new feature in TOOL CONNECT that you can access on their mobile app. PRECISION TAP is a control that simplifies tapping threads and saves you time.
What’s TOOL CONNECT?
TOOL CONNECT is a system that DeWalt is integrating into their 20V MAX tools. This system will help maximize every aspect of the machine while keeping track of its location and status. TOOL CONNECT is a three-part inventory system that connects the tool, phone, and office or tool crib to get up-to-date notices on your devices. It gives live data on tool use, location, and last use. Using a private Bluetooth connection, customize your tools to fit jobs to maximize each battery charge.
Know you will be drilling into solid concrete; increase the RPM on the DCF896 Impact Wrench before your worker ever takes it out. Do you know that the material you need to secure to the floor or wall for a particular project has a certain depth to go in before damaging the surrounding concrete? You can use the PRECISION WRENCH in the Mobile Connect App and set how long the impact wrench will turn before shutting off. That way, you get the necessary accuracy without worrying about user error.
