Its ultra-compact, lightweight design allows for use in confined areas. The 3/8 Square drive with hog ring enables quick socket changes. A variable trigger provides complete control over all applications. The efficient brushless motor delivers high performance, extends tool life, and allows for a much shorter design (only 125mm). A bright white LED with a delay feature improves visibility and functionality, with brightness control to dim or turn off the light. The comfortable rubber XR grip and switch offer greater application comfort and maximum control. It features several modes: Soft Joint Mode optimizes for decreased tightening and loosening time in soft materials (wood); FWD optimizes for fastest rundown of fasteners into soft materials (wood); REV optimizes for fastest loosening time of fasteners into soft materials (wood); Low Speed operates at a reduced speed in forward to prevent overtightening of small fasteners; Forward (reduced speed) and Reverse (normal speed); Precision Wrench helps prevent overtightening in forward and fastener run-off in reverse by pausing before impacting or lowering speed when a fastener is loose; and High Speed operates at normal speed in forward and reverse. The DCF923 18V XR Impact Wrench with Hog Ring Anvil is designed to easily handle various fastening projects, offering up to 406Nm of fastening torque and 610Nm of max breakaway torque in a 125mm long body for easy manoeuvrability without sacrificing power. It features a 4-mode switch for reliable high-level performance, operability, and versatility. The integrated LED work light enhances visibility in dimly lit spaces. Key specifications include: 406Nm Fastening Torque, 610Nm Breakaway Torque, Compact 125mm Head Length, Brushless Motor, and a 4-Mode Switch. The DeWALT DCF923 XR Impact Wrench boasts an efficient brushless motor and a 3/8in square drive with a hog ring for quick socket changes. Its variable speed trigger offers complete control, while the tactile 4-mode select feature allows you to choose from different modes and speed settings for optimal performance. Mode 1: low speed (approx. 160Nm), Mode 2: mid speed (approx. 400Nm), Mode 3: high speed, and Mode 4: precision wrench (pauses before impact to prevent over-tightening and reduces reverse speed to avoid run-off). The ultra-compact design provides easy access in tight spaces, complemented by a comfortable rubber XR grip and switch. An ultra-bright white LED work light with delay feature and brightness control improves visibility. This is a bare unit; battery and charger are not included. Specifications: Bit Holder: 3/8in Hog Ring, No Load Speed: 2,500/min, Impact Rate: 3,600/bpm, Max. Fastening Torque: 406Nm, Nut Busting Torque: 610Nm, Weight: 1.1kg (without battery).
