I install 70 Volt Paging systems in city buildings.  This is a great tool to check loading and check for shorts, use it for troubleshooting all the time.  We also use it to test whether existing systems are on 70 or 25 Volt systems.  Easy to use, It will give you a total speaker load readout in watts without having to convert impedance , ohms....  It will put out a tone to check speaker audio too.  A must have for paging system installers.

I redone various rooms in my home including my kitchen and this tool i bought to only cut some flooring in a very tight place under some cabinets that nothing else would work proved itself to be useful many times over for various uses through the whole project.  Was going to resale after using but Will never be without one ever again. Plenty of power and never failed me once.

I bought this driver a few months ago to treat myself to a new tool. I have a cordless drill with a hammer option, and wasn't sure I really needed this but was persuaded by the positive reviews. I have used this driver on several projects - driving into wood and concrete - and have been amazed at how effortlessly it works on screws and bolts. When it encounters resistance, the hammer kicks in and screws are driven home without stripping. I recommend hearing protection if you are using this tool for extended periods in an enclosed area or driving screws overhead near your ears. I'm sure the other reviews have covered all the features and details of this product, so I will close by saying that anyone who does projects around the house will find this a very useful addition to your workshop.

I freaking love this tool. I am an electrical engineer, and I often have to reach for sockets/wrenches/wire cutters/etc. I used this tool for just about everything, and I often use the vice grip more than 10 times a day. I have put this tool through (industrial) hell, and it has survived fairly well. I would recommend this.

This a great tool.  I've owned mine for over a year now and love it.  I've used it to maintain my property as well as my mother in law's.  Between the two, it's gotten plenty of use.

The tool cuts limbs with ease.  I've also used it to cut saplings up to 6" or so.  It's so good at what it does, you're tempted to cut bigger items than what it was designed for.  The batteries last a long time, probably upwards of an hour or so of continuous use.  I have two so I always leave one on charge while using the other.  I never run out of juice, well from the batteries anyway.  Many times I personally run out of juice but that's another story.  And the battery recharges is a reasonable time too.  Again probably 45 minutes or so from a complete discharge.

 There are a couple of things that could be improved though.  One is the battery is hard to disengage from the charger or tool with a gloved hand.  So you have to remove your gloves, depress the battery's clip,and then pull it out of the tool or charger.  It would be nice to do this with gloves on.  The second item is to make the saws length adjustment continuous.  As it is now, you have to add a ~2' insert.  This becomes a hassle if you're cutting limbs from low to high.  You have to stop to add the extension or take it out.  If you try to cut the lower limbs with the extension in, the tool becomes heavy to handle as you basically have a heave weight on the end of a fulcrum that you're trying to control from the other end.  The last improvement item would be to have the chain driven by a shaft so the battery and motor are on the end near the operator, thus making it easier to handle/control.  But I'm sure these modifications would add to the cost.

Overall, this is a great tool with long lasting and fast recharging batteries at a reasonable cost.  I would definitely purchase it again.

Great quality tool, very little hand fatigue with long use

I use this every single day while performing home inspections. In fact, it is probably my favorite tool. The problems I have uncovered and the knowledge I have been able to provide with this has payed for it 100 times. Having both the pin and pinless mode is imperative. If it hasn't rained in a few days they without pinless you would never know if there is still leaking. Results are highly reproducible and accurate. One of the nicest things is the fact there is a chart on the back with levels of moisture for different materials/ modes. This is helpful as the pin/pinless modes read moisture differently therefore 30% on one is different from the other.
The beeping is a nice touch in hard to reach areas. It would be nice if you could silence it though as can be a bit annoying while using for extended periods.
Lastly, the power butting could be moved or redesigned. I like to carry this with me a lot and is easily turned on in a pocket. Not a huge deal but have gone through a few batts quickly when it gets wedged against something in my tool bag.

P.S. pin cover is hard to open but that does prevent it from getting lost/ someone sticking themselves. I find it easiest to push on the front and rotate back, usually pops right off that way. Just make sure not to pin yourself.

I use it almost every day and I have had not problems. This is the second XA20 I have. Results are very well with in my needs. For me it is just the level of pro level tool that I need to do my corporate work.

You could literally shave with this; it's that sharp.  Coworkers are jealous of how easily it cuts through zip-ties, tie-lines, even a heavy duty tie-down strap. The handle never slips, even when I have grease, oil, water, etc. on my hands. The clip is heavy duty; i've tried Gerber, Kershaw, and half a dozen others and the pocket clip usually snaps after a few weeks, forcing me to put the knife in a pocket and dig for it when I need it. With my job, I usually have to pull this guy out ten times a day and he is definitely worth the investment. If you ever have use for a utility knife, do yourself a favor and spend the money on this guy instead.

I purchased the Power Wrench after seeing it in a "What's New" section of a magazine. It has grown to be my favorite tool in my tool box.

Before this tool, when I had to tighten screws in tight spaces I've used little stubby screw drivers.  But with the Phillips head attachment, I find the Power Wrench works every where the stubby screw drivers were.  Not only does it work, it works better.  It takes less time and has less hand fatigue.

I started out using it is a pretty specialized application, but now I use it to drive everything from screws, nuts and hex screws (putting together Ikea furniture was never easier).

It has two modes.  The Power Wrench mode, where you pull the trigger and it engages the motor.  It works by ratcheting a small metal piece in the head back and forth.  It is fairly noisy but it provides more power than you would expect a 7.2V tool to provide.  It can also be used as a manual wrench.  I really like that when the battery is too low to drive something, you still can use it.

The Power Wrench bundle is just a starter if you are going to use it often.  Any 1/4" socket or tool will fit onto the end of it.  I've bought little wrench and socket sets (both metric and standard) to extend the functionality along with a 1/4" to 3/8" adapter.  Paired with my larger socket set, sometimes I break lose nuts and the use the Power Wrench with the 3/8" adapter where I would normally be removing it with my fingers.

I've given several of these as gifts and recommend them to everyone.

Great tool. I use this every day as a dealership auto tech. If you can get this tool and a socket on a fastener it is the fastest way to get it off and on, period. Its torque isn't close to a 3/8 penumatic impact but its small size and lack of any cord or air hose make it very usefull when working on the interior of a vehicle or on any fastener its torque is capable of handling.  Its very usefull for engine R&R for pully bolts, valve cover bolts, etc. where the time challenge is the number of fasteners and not access restriction. Its also good for removing caliper slide pin bolts when doing brake jobs. The variable speed trigger makes it very controllable for small fasteners that the full force of the tool could break. the light is a very nice touch and i like the battery guage readout. the only minor downside i see is that this tool is more likely to be damaged by water contact, which can be a problem in the winter when snow and ice on the car you're working on start melting and dripping all over once pulled in the garage so you have to be carefull around it if you want to use the tool in that situation. if you're a flat rate auto tech this tool will make you money by increasing you're time efficiency.

What a great handy tool! I use this around the house and at work. Would have got 5 stars if it either had variable speed or was faster in general. I like how the bits can be easily changed.

Use it constantly.  Don't know what I did without it.

I work in an enterprise IT environment where something like this has been a dream of mine. It has been actualized and this item has been working out just great. It has great torque (it doesn't strain when loosening), and the motor is relatively quiet. I can also use my existing bits with it from my other screwdrivers, and have encouraged my peers to purchase one. Thanks!

Every associate who uses different crimpers always compliments this tool - it does great work. I haven't had need for the ratcheting bar, but it would be nice to have a way to disengage it so it can be used to easily cut significant lengths of CAT cable, but that's a job for another tool and is about the only problem I have with this tool.

I use it for all my terminations - have done well over 500 with it so far and not a single bad cut or crimp.

If you're using it to strip the jacket off CAT 6/6a cables, there's a chance you'll cut the copper wire a few times before you get the hang of where you need the tension to be.

This has got to be one of the most useful tools in the DeWalt 20V line-up and is a must have if you are a mechanic and handy-man around the house. Build quality seems to be very good and solid. Very powerful at 130 foot pounds of torque; will easily loosen lug nuts off a car tire, handle exhaust bolts, and suspension. I personally also use it to loosen my oil pan drain plug as sometimes it's difficult to loosen (if you are using this to loosen your oil pan drain plug, be sure not to use it to tighten the drain plug as it is strong enough to strip the threads on the oil pan; these things should always be hand tightened). Remember, if you're using this to fasten or tighten a nut/bolt, do not hold down too long when the bolt/nut is flush against whatever you're tightening/fastening, this thing is powerful enough to either strip the bolt threads, or drive the bolt through. Of course, you'll realize the do's and don'ts when you play with this thing.

PROS:
- Very ergonomic, excellent weight balance, comfortable grip
- Build quality seems excellent (don't like how it's made in Mexico, but can't do much there)
- 3/8 Drive accepts a wide variety of sockets and attachments
- Small/Compact to fit in tight spaces
- Seems to last long using DeWalt 20V 2.0 Amp Hour Lithium Ion Battery (Will accept all other DeWalt 20V 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 amp hour batteries)
- 3 L.E.D. lights are pretty bright and light up work area nicely
- POWERFUL @ 130ft/lbs; pretty much can loosen/fasten any bolt with ease.

CONS:
- made in mexico
- does not use a brushless motor (more efficient, less wear), uses brushed motor (less efficient, a little more wear, slight burning smell). You will smell a slight burning smell when using, but this is normal.
- no other cons so far, highly recommend this product.

Other Thoughts: Keep in mind that part number DCF883B is the bare-tool only. You will not get a charger or battery with this item. This is simply an add on if you already own DeWalt 20V Max line of tools.
