DeWalt DCF961 High Torque Impact Wrench vs 20V MAX XR Brushless Cordless 3/4 in High Torque Impact Wrench with Anvil Kit & PowerStack

Both are 20V MAX XR brushless high-torque impact wrenches with the same glass-filled nylon housing, PRECISION WRENCH mode and 4-mode switch. The DCF961GH1 is the 1/2-inch drive model with a hog ring anvil, rated around 1,320 ft-lbs fastening and 1,900 ft-lbs breakaway, and it ships as a bare tool with no battery. The 3/4-inch kit is the bigger fastener tool: a 3/4-inch hog ring anvil, roughly 1,400 ft-lbs fastening and 1,900 ft-lbs breakaway, and it includes one 5.0Ah POWERSTACK battery. Owners of both report strong torque and durable housings; the 3/4-inch unit is heavier and longer, so it is a two-hand tool for truck and structural work, while the 1/2-inch is the more versatile all-rounder for lug nuts and general jobsite fastening.

• Choose the DCF961GH1 if you already own 20V MAX batteries and want a 1/2-inch high-torque wrench for lug nuts, suspension and general heavy fastening.
• Choose the 3/4-inch kit if you need to turn larger fasteners on trucks, trailers or structural steel and want a battery and charger in the box.
