DeWalt DCF961 High Torque Impact Wrench vs DeWalt DCF899M1 Impact Wrench
The DCF961GH1 is the stronger tool: about 1,320 ft-lbs fastening and 1,900 ft-lbs breakaway versus 700 and 1,200 on the DCF899M1. It also adds Precision Wrench mode and a four-mode switch, and its glass-filled nylon housing resists oils and solvents. The DCF899M1 is lighter, comes with a 4.0 Ah battery, charger and bag, and is the easier tool for long overhead work and general fastening. Owners of both lines praise the brushless motors and hog-ring anvil; the DCF961GH1 is the one to step up to for rusted bolts and heavy equipment.
- Choose the DCF961GH1 if you loosen rusted or seized fasteners on trucks, trailers and heavy equipment and want the highest torque in a 1/2-inch cordless wrench.
- Choose the DCF899M1 if you want a complete kit with battery, charger and bag for general automotive and jobsite fastening at a lighter weight.
