Best DeWalt high torque impact wrenches

Top pick: DeWalt 20V MAX XR Brushless 1/2" High Torque (DCF900) — the classic high-torque choice: around 1,030 ft-lb fastening torque, hog ring anvil, and it's the one most people mean by "DeWalt high torque." Get the kit version if you don't already own 20V batteries.

Who the others suit:

• DCF964B 3/4" high torque — the biggest jobs: 1,900 ft-lb breakaway and a 3/4" anvil for truck and equipment lugs.
• DCF897P2 3/4" kit — heavy-duty work where you want batteries in the box.
• DCF891B 1/2" mid-torque — a lighter, handier compromise for daily shop work.
• Atomic DCF921 / DCF921P1 — compact jobs in tight spaces, not stubborn lugs.
• DCF913P2 3/8" — engine-bay and smaller fasteners.

Check the anvil type and whether it's tool-only or a kit before you buy.
