20V MAX XR Brushless Cordless 3/4 in High Torque Impact Wrench with Anvil Kit & PowerStack vs DeWalt DCF899M1 Impact Wrench

Buy the 20V MAX XR 3/4 in High Torque if you work on trucks, heavy equipment or lug nuts that need a 3/4 in drive and maximum breakaway torque. Its 1,900 ft-lbs breakaway and 1,400 ft-lbs fastening torque are far beyond the DCF899M1, and the 3/4 in hog ring anvil takes impact sockets directly. The DCF899M1 is the better pick for general 1/2 in fastening, engine work and tight spaces: it is lighter, shorter and has a 1/2 in detent pin anvil most mechanics already own sockets for. Owners of both praise the brushless motors and LED lighting; the XR is heavier and bulkier, so it tires you faster overhead.

• Choose the 20V MAX XR 3/4 in High Torque if you need maximum breakaway torque and a 3/4 in drive for trucks, trailers and heavy machinery.
• Choose the DCF899M1 if you want a lighter, more compact 1/2 in impact wrench for everyday automotive and general fastening work.
