DeWalt 20V MAX XR 1/2 In. Impact Wrench vs DeWalt 20V MAX XR Mid-Range Impact Wrench

Both are DeWalt 20V MAX XR brushless 1/2 in. impact wrenches, but they sit in different classes. The High Torque DCF961B is the one for lug nuts on trucks, pipe flanges and concrete anchors, with roughly double the fastening and breakaway torque of the Mid-Range. The Mid-Range is lighter and easier to handle for most automotive and assembly work, and owners of both lines praise the brushless motors and 4-mode control. Buy the High Torque if you need maximum force; buy the Mid-Range if you want a tool you can hold overhead all day.

• Choose the High Torque DCF961B if you regularly break loose seized lug nuts, flange bolts or anchor bolts and need the strongest 1/2 in. cordless wrench DeWalt makes.
• Choose the Mid-Range if your work is general automotive, suspension and assembly, and you want a lighter tool that still handles most fasteners without the bulk.
