Is the DCF513B worth it?

It is worth it if you already own DEWALT 20V MAX batteries and regularly work in tight spaces. If you need to break loose rusted bolts, a cordless impact wrench is the better tool.

Does it come with a battery?

No. The DCF513B is a bare tool, so you need a DEWALT 20V MAX battery and charger, sold separately.

How does it compare with the DCF512?

The DCF512 is the 1/4 in. version and the DCF513 is the 3/8 in. version. Pick the 3/8 in. model if your sockets are 3/8 in. drive.

What size sockets does it take?

It uses standard 3/8 in. drive sockets. It does not accept 1/4 in. or 1/2 in. drive sockets without an adapter.

How much torque does it have?

DEWALT rates it at roughly 70 ft-lbs of max torque. That is enough for most assembly work but not for seized fasteners.

Bare-tool prices tend to drop during DEWALT promotions and holiday sales. Buying a kit with batteries can cost less per usable tool if you have no 20V MAX packs.

Our take on the DEWALT ATOMIC 20V MAX Cordless Ratchet, Brushless, 3/8 in. (DCF513B)

The DEWALT ATOMIC DCF513B is a bare-tool 20V MAX cordless ratchet with a brushless motor and a 3/8 in. square anvil, built for tightening and loosening fasteners in tight engine bays and under-dash spaces. It runs on the same 20V MAX batteries as DEWALT drills and impact drivers, and the compact head plus variable-speed trigger are its main selling points. It is sold without a battery or charger, so the real cost depends on whether you already own DEWALT 20V packs.
