## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work to remove riding mower blades?**
A: Depends on how tight the nut or bolt is, this ratchet will take it off. But remember it is not a substitute for an "impact wrench" where it hammers as it loosens, the ratchet does not do that. I tried it on removing break caliber brackets on the front of my car, it did not buldge the bolts until I broke them free with the impact wrench . If it doesn't, it's still a nice piece to have in your arsenal of Dewalt tools. ⭐⭐⭐

**Q: Is there a clutch or some mechanism to prevent stripping of bolt threads with 70 ft/lbs of torque? ?**
A: What causes a bolt stripping is weakness in the material to begin with or improper torque (tightening) causing undue stress.  The DCF512B has a variable speed trigger, therefore the user controls the speed. If the fastener is not able to handle the torque it could cause breakage.

**Q: hola, quisiera conocer la velocidad de giro del trinquete, y si tanto el par de apriete como la velocidad de giro son ajustables para cada uso.**
A: Maximum RPM. 250.

**Q: Which DeWalt 20v batteries are recommended?  Are there any limitations in this regard?**
A: All DEWALT 20V batteries and all DEWALT 20V tools are compatible. Please note some tools require more power than others, so a higher Ah/Amp battery will provide longer runtime.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good torque
*by J***I on January 21, 2026*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best price and quick delivery! Saved me from going to store and wait for someone to unlock a case .

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome but scary powerful tool!
*by R***N on July 24, 2024*

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!
