Is 1,800 in-lbs enough for lug nuts?

Yes for most passenger cars and light trucks, whose lug nuts are typically torqued to 80-150 ft-lbs. Heavily rusted or heavy-duty truck fasteners may need a high-torque model.

How is it different from DeWalt's high-torque impact wrench?

This ATOMIC model is smaller and lighter at 1,800 in-lbs. DeWalt's high-torque 1/2-inch wrench delivers more torque but is larger and heavier.

What comes in the box?

The kit includes the wrench, two 20V MAX 6.0Ah lithium-ion batteries, and a charger. Confirm the exact kit contents on the listing before ordering.

Does it use the DeWalt 20V MAX batteries I already own?

Yes. It runs on the DeWalt 20V MAX lithium-ion platform, so existing 20V MAX packs work. The kit's 6.0Ah packs also fit other 20V MAX tools.

What size sockets does it take?

It has a 1/2-inch square drive with a hog-ring anvil, so use standard 1/2-inch impact-rated sockets. Hog-ring anvils hold sockets by friction and can loosen with wear.

When is the best time to buy?

DeWalt kits usually drop during holiday sales and spring tool events. Track the price history and buy when it sits near the low end of its recent range.
