DeWALT - Cordless Impact Wrenches & Ratchets Voltage: 12.0 Drive Size (Inch): 3/8

Key Features

Short Nose, Real Access

At just 5.1 inches long, this impact wrench gets into cramped spots where a larger tool turns a simple fastener job into a knuckle-buster.

Compact With Muscle

The DEWALT XTREME 12V MAX Brushless 3/8 in. Cordless Impact Wrench delivers 1,500 in-lbs of fastening torque and 2,400 in-lbs of breakaway torque, so size does not mean giving up usable power.

Better Control at the Fastener

Three mode settings with Precision Wrench help you work cleaner around nuts and bolts, while the three nose-mounted LEDs put light right where the socket meets the work.

Overview

The DEWALT XTREME 12V MAX Brushless 3/8 in. Cordless Impact Wrench, model DCF902B, is a compact cordless fastening tool built for tightening and loosening nuts and bolts in tight spaces. This is a cordless impact wrench designed for hard-to-reach fastening and removal work. If you already run DEWALT 12V MAX batteries and want a smaller tool that still has real pull on stubborn hardware, this is the one that makes sense.

What matters here is the balance of size and output. DEWALT rates it at 1,500 in-lbs of fastening torque and 2,400 in-lbs of breakaway torque, which is a strong showing for a 12V class tool. That means it is not just a light-duty assembly driver. It is made for real service work where you need to break loose rusted or tight fasteners, then run them back down without switching to a bigger, heavier wrench unless the job truly demands it.

The big selling point is the 5.1 inch overall length. On the job, that short head helps when you are working between pipes, inside equipment housings, around suspension components, or behind installed hardware where a bulkier 18V tool simply does not fit. It is also light at 1.73 lbs tool only, which makes a difference when you are reaching overhead, working one-handed, or moving through a long list of small fastening tasks in a day.
