  • Awesome but scary powerful 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! ... show more

  • Best price and quick delivery! Saved me from going to store and wait for someone to unlock a case .
Bought as a gift for my son. He is very happy with it and has no problems at all.

  • Neat tool
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. ... show more

  • Great tool!
Should have bought this years ago, you can use it like a breaker bar to break tough bolts and run them off the rest of the way. Makes jobs on the truck go way faster Love it!

  • Works well in tight spaces
For someone that works often on the car, this tool comes in handy. I always do upgrades and change parts in my car and somethings my drill does not fit. The atomic line has a much smaller design that allows easier maneuvering and it's quite powerful. Maybe not at powerful as a high torque drill but good enough for most needs. I like to manually torque bolts to oem specs anyway. I purchased just the tool as I have many batteries from my other dewalt products which are interchangeable. It's light weight and comfortable to hold even for longer periods. The weight is increased mostly but the battery capacity used. Great addition to my tool set ... show more

  • Favorite Dewalt tool
This is my absolute favorite tool. It works with my existing 20v batteries, is super well built, and is my go to for automotive repairs. I got a set of sockets that go down to 8mm to fit this wrench.

  • Great Right Angle
Fantastic power and it works great and it works good in tight places.

  • I wish I had this years ago!
Pros: Fast, powerful and built tough. Cons: It has a bit of a learning curve, one thing is it needs “room” to get some speed. If you are holding pressure in the direction you want it to go, as in its tight on the bolt it doesn’t have a ton of power. One trick is to back it off, say you want to loosen a bolt. Put it on the bolt as normal, but before hitting the trigger, turn the whole wrench as if you are using a normal ratchet to tighten the bolt. Don’t actually tighten it, just give the wrench a little slack to get a jump start. I was able to take off some rusty bolts on my rear bumper using this technique, and my 20v impact driver couldn’t get them to move. Another “downside “ is the size. It is long and kinda thick. It is what it is but I would also love a compact version or one with a head that adjustable angles. Bottom line is it’s definitely worth the money. ... show more
