Overview
The DEWALT DCF964B operates on DEWALT's 20V MAX battery platform and is priced at $299.95. With 285 owner reviews averaging 4.7 stars and 300 units sold per month, it is one of the stronger performers in the premium cordless impact wrench segment. That monthly sales figure at this price confirms it is drawing deliberate purchases from buyers who know the DEWALT ecosystem.
The listed weight of 9.15 pounds is notable. While that is on the heavier end for a cordless impact wrench, it reflects a full-size design built for torque-intensive work. Buyers doing tire changes, large fastener removal, or construction assembly who need sustained power output will find the trade-off between weight and capability acceptable.
At $299.95, the DEWALT DCF964B competes at the top of the consumer cordless impact market. The DEWALT brand brings ecosystem familiarity for buyers already using 20V MAX batteries. The 4.7-star rating and 300 monthly sales suggest the tool earns its price through consistent build quality and performance, based on verified owner reviews.
