I have the detent anvil on my DCF894 and can take off the sockets by hand without a problem....

While the 899 gets you roughly double the torque of the 894, I would recommend the 894 if removing lug nuts is your application. The 894 is plenty powerful for that and you'll just be carrying around unnecessary size and weight unless you have a more demanding application. In a vacuum this is probably the better deal though.

It has a switch for 3 settings as well as a variable speed trigger. I pretty much stick to setting "2"

I have too DCF894 purchased with $150 and I'm happy with it basically takes out every screw from my car's including the axle with is metric 36 so I will not pay more for something that I don't need it unless you are working in a Auto repair shop
Until that one time you need it....and it's usually when the car is on jacks and you are an hour into the job. Not fun

For anyone considering this for automotive work (lug nuts/suspension work) it absolutely can handle anything you can throw at it. The issue with this version is it has the "detent anvil", where you need a tool to take your socket off. The anvil you would like is called the "hog ring" by dewalt, or also known as a friction ring by other manufacturers. To me, it is a dealbreaker. I have personally have the hog ring version of the dcf899 and love it
I can't stand these stupid detent anvil impacts. I have an old corded Milwaukee detent anvil that was my first ever impact (bought before I knew there were 2 types of anvils), and it's extremely annoying to have to grab something to jam in the anvil and release the socket every time you need to switch sizes. Definite deal-breaker if you're going to spend decent money on a tool like this.

Nothing a grinder can't fix. Seriously, shave off half and call it good.

I'll be heading to Lowes in the AM to see if I can get the price match minus 10% for pros

bought tool only in July for 182 on amazon, this is a great deal.

needed both of my 1.5ah batteries to get all the snows off and replace with summer tires.
the 4.0 ah batts should be great, tho will make this heavier.

Any way to adjust the torque to prevent overtightening?
The three speeds have different torques according to the back of the box.
Speed 1 - 100 ft lbs
Speed 2 - 300 ft lbs
Speed 3 - 700 ft lbs

I used this exact impact a couple weeks ago with a 19 mm socket doing a timing belt service on my Honda pilot and it went on and off like sockets go on and off of a standard ratchet.

All you guys complaining about the denent pin are hysterical.
I watched about 15 reviews on YouTube for the 899 yesterday.
EVERY SINGLE ONE the socket came off the tool when they were changing lug nuts, sometimes it happened multiple times.
So if they were using a hog ring, that's way more annoying than it being difficult to remove the socket with DP anvil.
And if they were using a DP, it's not as hard to remove as everyone complaining about it on every one of these threads says.

Yes but you definitely don't want to be using it on 10,12,14 mm bolts. also, it probably only reaches its stated foot pounds after several impacts. In other words, tighten it to one or two impacts then switch to your torque wrench.

It may be different on smaller models. I've used the detent anvil 899, and sometimes the only way to get the socket off is with a punch. Especially with greasy hands. The entire purpose of the detent anvil is so that the socket doesn't come off easily... again, would not recommend for automotive work where you are constantly switching sockets. Great tool, depending on your use.

I just use an impact extension when I know I will be changing sockets quite a bit.
