Black Decker/dewalt DCF961B 20V Xr 1/2 in High Torque Impact Wrench

Product Description

The BLACK DECKER/DEWALT DCF961B is a cordless 20V XR 1/2 inch high torque impact wrench built for heavy-duty fastening and removal applications on the jobsite. It delivers 1,626 Newton-meters of torque and 2,372 Newton-meters of breakaway torque, which is up to 71% more torque output than the DCF899. After 4 seconds of continuous impacting, the tool automatically ramps up power to help break loose stubborn or corroded fasteners. The DCF961B ships as a bare tool, with battery and charger sold separately.

This impact wrench is designed for professional trades requiring high-cycle fastening and heavy removal work. Typical applications include automotive service, structural steel assembly, equipment maintenance, and industrial fastening tasks where standard impact wrenches lack the torque needed to seat or remove large fasteners efficiently. The 4-speed mode select and PRECISION WRENCH mode make it suitable across a range of fastener sizes and torque requirements.
