Why We Love This Deal
There’s this cultural perception that the best power tools are these gargantuan, lethal instruments. On the flip side, most would appreciate a smaller precision tool that can fit into a tight space. Luckily, there’s no need to choose between power and finesse—DeWalt's 12V Max tool series solves that problem, and its impact driver that Walmart is selling for a mere $60 is the absolute best of both worlds.
The DeWalt Xtreme 12V Max Impact Driver is 47% off while this deal lasts, and even ships free. DeWalt tools are already massively popular, and this one in particular is a Walmart bestseller. Either this deal is going to end, or the tool is going to sell out, but either way, it means that this price won’t last forever.

The claim to fame for DeWalt’s 12V Max impact driver is that it has 52% more torque and it’s 19% shorter than previous models, according to the brand. Translated into layman’s terms, this all means DeWalt’s 12V Max tools are more powerful and more compact than the older brushed models.
When you consider the long-enduring power of this driver's brushless motor and the tri-LED lighting that surrounds the head, you’ve got a tool made for driving in even the most difficult of spaces.
What Shoppers Are Saying
One shopper called it a “great little driver” and said it was “very light but very powerful for a 12 volt,” agreeing with DeWalt’s claims. They said they use it for pocket holes and use it with a 5Ah battery, which gets the job done.
One of the few complaints about the driver asked, “What’s the point of this?” if it doesn't come with a battery. And that’s a pretty valid question, but there’s a great reason behind it. DeWalt’s tools are popular, and DeWalt batteries are premium products in their own right. By not including a battery and charger with every purchase, DeWalt saves loyal customers money in the long run. You can also get a 12V battery and charger kit at Walmart if you need one.
The DeWalt DCF801B Xtreme 12V Max Impact Driver is now just $60, and everyone from DIYers to your local handyman is going to be racing to get theirs first. Don’t wait and miss out on this sale.
