- Is the DCF504 a ratchet or an impact wrench?
- It is a cordless ratchet: it turns sockets at low speed with ratcheting action, not the high-impact blows of an impact wrench. Use an impact wrench for breaking loose tight fasteners.
- What size sockets does it take?
- The DCF504 has a 3/8-inch square drive, so it takes standard 3/8-inch sockets. That covers most automotive fasteners but not 1/2-inch-drive work.
- Does the kit include a battery and charger?
- Yes, the kit ships with a 20V Max battery and charger. Bare-tool versions exist for buyers who already own DeWalt 20V batteries.
- Will it remove lug nuts?
- No. Its torque is well below what lug nuts and other high-torque fasteners need. Use a breaker bar or impact wrench for those.
- How does it compare with the Milwaukee M12 ratchet?
- The DeWalt runs on 20V Max batteries and is larger and heavier; the M12 is more compact and lighter but uses Milwaukee's 12V line. Pick based on which battery platform you already own.
- Can it be used for extended periods?
- Yes, the brushless motor is built for sustained use, though the tool will get warm during long jobs. Let it cool between heavy sessions.
