The W7153 IQV20™ DXS® Cordless Impact Wrench is designed with the user in mind, offering a seamless combination of portability and high performance without the hassle of cords or the frustration of power loss. The tool's ingenuity lies in the  DXS® - Drive Xchange System™, a proprietary innovation featuring easily interchangeable direct drive anvils and sockets that maximize the transfer of motor torque directly to fasteners. This intelligent design streamlines the work process, allowing the tool to adapt quickly to various tasks, effectively doing the job of three tools in one and saving valuable space in your toolkit. 

The DXS® system represents a leap forward in tool functionality. By providing a range of interchangeable drive accessories, this patented system equips users with the right tool for every job, minus the hassle of adapters. The result is a cordless impact wrench that is as versatile as it is powerful. And when it comes to maintenance, the ability to effortlessly swap out worn or damaged drives minimizes downtime, keeping you on the move and your jobs on track.
