DEWALT DCF961NT 1/2″ XR Brushless High-Torque Impact Wrench

Special Features of the DCF961

The DCF961 is a heavy-duty powerhouse designed to tackle the most demanding industrial applications. Its high-efficiency Brushless motor delivers a staggering 2372 Nm of maximum breakaway (nut-busting) torque and 1626 Nm of maximum fastening torque.

A standout feature is the Boost Mode: after 4 seconds of continuous impacting, the tool automatically increases power to help loosen the most stubborn, rusted, or seized bolts. It also features a 4-mode membrane switch, including Precision Wrench™ mode, which helps prevent over-tightening in forward and fastener run-off in reverse. For enhanced visibility, the built-in LED has a 20-second delay and adjustable brightness settings.

Key Highlights:

• Monster Torque: Outperforms the legendary DCF899 by up to 71% in fastening power.

• 4-Mode Control: Three speed/torque settings plus Precision Wrench™ mode for total application mastery.

• Intelligent Power: Automatic boost function for extra-tough fasteners.

• Ergonomic Design: Comfortable XR rubber grip and switch for reduced fatigue and maximum control.
