Pro-Tip

Maximize Your Tool's Longevity: While the DCF512B delivers an impressive 70 ft-lbs of motorized torque, you should avoid using the motor to break loose severely rusted, seized, or massively over-torqued suspension bolts. Instead, use the ratchet manually—just like a traditional hand tool—to initially "crack" the fastener loose. Once the tension is broken, immediately engage the variable speed trigger to spin the bolt out fast. This simple technique protects the brushless motor and internal anvil from extreme shock loads, extending the life of your tool!
