DEWALT ATOMIC 20V MAX Brushless Cordless Ratchet, 1/2 Inch, Bare Tool Only (DCF512B)

Really like this tool!

I needed a new cordless 1/2” drive power ratchet mostly to replace all the front and rear suspension components and brakes on my 2009 SUV and chose this DeWALT 20V Atomic Max (bare tool only without battery because I already own a pair of 20V DeWALT 5Ah batteries and a pair of 2Ah ones as well). $133 for the bare tool is a great bargain, but if you need to pony up the extra $ to buy one with a battery, it'll be worth the money! This guy is powerful and I found out the hard way it's better to use it in a short bursts mode (pressing the trigger handle momentarily a few times) rather than holding it for fully automatic, so to speak. If the bolt or nut you're tightening reached the max torque of the wrench the handle will keep spinning, and with its long length plus the weight of a 5Ah battery on the end, it'll easily and quickly slam your hand into whatever is in its way, so take caution! And btw, this guy seems to max out somewhere around 20-50 ft/lns of torque, so only use it to get things assembled then use a good click torque wrench to perform the final tightening to the proper torque setting. Overall, it’s one of the best tool purchases I've made in a long time, and I've bought a LOT of tools!

I love this thing. Outside of tight spots (its a little bulky) it's basically my go to ratchet. I was concerned about the torque but it really doesn't matter. It operates manually just like a standard ratchet so you can break loose or final tighten with normal wrist power but it saves the frustration of having to drive out those super long bolts 1/8th turn at a time. Just break loose then hold the trigger. Awesome tool. It's Dewalt so the quality is awesome. I haven't found the battery limit yet. It's held all the way through all the jobs I've used it for so far without even dropping the battery indicator so I imagine it's about an all day of regular use on one 6ah battery.

Me sorprende la fuerza que tiene

Thank u DEWALT to make evry think easy

Es muy práctica y muy eficiente para los lugares estrechos la recomiendo mucho y estoy muy satisfecho con mi herramienta dewalt

Yeah it’s nothing crazy for ft/lbs, but it’ll still snap your wrist! Use it all the time, I work as a mechanic in a garage. My go to for brakes. Has been dropped many times. Still going strong. Ratings seem accurate. Would recommend to DIYs and tradespeople. Little bulky, but hey, it’s a 1/2”. If you use it properly and manually brake nuts loose then spin them off, works well.

Muy útil para mí, y llegó rápido.
