So many different variations of this in the DeWalt line but I have the same version in a quarter inch drive impact as one of my daily tools and I'm telling you it's just a terrific workhorse and compact and worthy of being in my tool bag just saying
I've pulled off one of these hacks in the past, but at least in my cart, HD won't allow me to ship/pickup, or select 2 different stores for pickup.
Of course, I already have a DCF923, so I don't need this regardless. I mostly came on here to say that this tool is freaking awesome... So handy for all the typical socket work (lag screws, bolts on cars, etc)--works way better (and is smaller) than sticking an adapter on my impact driver.
I paired this with the DCF891 for the (imo) perfect 1-2 punch. But the 891 will likely be waaaay more than I will ever need--I haven't even used it yet! So far, the 923 has handled everything I've needed.

I just ordered both for pick up and returned the battery when I picked it up.
How does this deal work? You buy the combo deal w/ the wrench and the battery and just return the battery and HD gives you $??? back? Won't they expect both the battery and the wrench back?
Great wrenches- I have both the 3/8 and 1/2. Also, the split shipment hack is long dead- gotta receive both the same way, and simply return the piece you don't want.

3/8" drive is the right choice for DeWalt Atomic impact wrenches. It matches the power output of the tool nicely.
DCF923 3/8" drive is a better choice than the DCF921 1/2" drive.
Adding a low profile 3/8" to 1/2" drive adapter to the DCF923 only loses 1/4" of clearance.
Adding a 1/2" to 3/8" drive adapter to the DCF921 loses an inch (or more) of clearance, the adapter is weaker, and more power is absorbed (lost) by the adapter.
The perfect combo for most shade tree mechanics with DeWalt batteries is:
-DCF850 for 1/4" drive. Super low profile as an impact wrench, amazing as an impact driver
-DCF923 for 3/8" drive, perfect for most uses and lug nuts on smaller cars
-DCF891 for 1/2" drive, larger lug nuts and most suspension work
How does this deal work? You buy the combo deal w/ the wrench and the battery and just return the battery and HD gives you $??? back? Won't they expect both the battery and the wrench back?
Just add both to your cart and you'll see a breakdown of the price split, each item is prorated.

Well said.. unless you want to try to consolidate into one nice/full 1/2" impact socket set, 1/2" is a little big/overkill for the torque range these put out - definitely most suitable for a 3/8" drive - same for the M12/M18 stubbies.
On the Milwaukee side of things (since OP mentioned the M12), M18 high impact is where the 1/2" definitely makes sense (with 1100+ ft-lbs), you could argue the same for their mid torque at 650 ft-lbs (if I recall correctly).

Biggest dewalt battery I have is 1.7ah so I think ideally I'd need something bigger for this.
Also been debating between the 3/8in and 1/2in models.
