1 BIG Difference | Which DeWalt Impact Wrench do You Need?

if you're looking for a new impact gun these DeWalt cordless impact guns are great for the

toolbox they operate and function the same there's a one small difference that's a big deal they both

are brushless half inch impact guns but with this model this is a hog ring on the end what a

hog ring is on the tip of it to hold the socket on if you're working in areas that you're going

to change a socket often automotive work things like that the hog ring is perfect for that but if

you're working in areas that you can't risk losing a socket you can drop down the engine compartment

or you're working overhead you don't want to drop a socket on top of someone the one with

the detent pen is perfect for that is much safer for those type of situations let's go over the

features and details and make this DeWalt impact gun a must-have for your toolbox because they both

operate and function the same I'll just use this one as an example you can see it has xr symbol on

the side of it the xr means is a brushless model the brushless models have more power they are more

energy efficient which means your batteries last longer this has 1200 foot pounds of torque for

removing those tight bolts and 700 foot pounds of torque for tightening back on the three speed

power settings give you adjustment for how fast or how much torque you want to use on setting three

which is the highest you have 700 foot pounds of torque you go down to setting two we have 300 foot

pounds of torque in setting one we have 100 foot pounds of torque the tool itself weighs 6.4 pounds

if you buy it with a kit the battery and the charger it's 7.2 pounds another nice added feature

on the front of this has led lights when you turn this on it really helps to see in those dark areas

when you're working at nighttime or in low lite conditions on automotive work now to figure out

which one you want to buy to make it easy for you of what the DeWalt part number is up on the screen

let's start with the hog ring model this is sold only as a bare tool a bare tool means it does not

come with a battery so if you're ordering a hog ring model you order it just like this

that way you have the tool and use your own batteries you already have if you want to

order a detent model you can order it again just as a bare tool just like this or you can order a

detent with a kit the kit comes with the impact gun a 4 amp hour battery a fast charger and the

carrying bag I hope this video helped you decide which model you want to buy the hog ring or the

detent model you can buy the right tool the first time and not waste any of your valuable money
