I recently put the Cat DX71 18V 1/4” Cordless Impact Driver to the test, and it's become an essential addition to my tool kit. The brushless motor delivers impressive high-torque performance in a lightweight, compact design, making it perfect for both heavy-duty fastening and everyday tasks. Its precision control and adjustable clutch let me work efficiently across a variety of materials. While the battery life could be improved for longer projects, overall, it's a robust and reliable impact driver that truly stands up to demanding work.

I ordered this because my other impact driver is too heavy and much larger, which is restrictive when I work on my project car. That said, this arrived as described, and it's the third product from CAT that I have had the privilege to evaluate.First, I am a sucker for any tool with its own case, and this is one of the best cases I have come across. Fortunately for me, I don't travel with my tools, but this is definitely a plus for those who do. The drill is compact, and its dexterity is great; it feels comfortable to hold and is small enough to get into the places I couldn't reach with my other drill.I especially like that it brought two batteries compared to my other unit, which only came with one. As for the performance, this exceeded my expectations and outperformed my other name brand. This is definitely a commercial-grade product built to last.Unlike my other drill, this is brushless, which is more powerful. The torque power for this unit is excellent, and I could take out bolts that my other unit could not handle easily. The LED light is an excellent touch, especially for us older dudes who need reading glasses when working.Lastly, this is my third product from CAT, and it has become my go-to. I'm pleased with it and recommend it.

This drill is pretty awesome. The power and torque are above standard. This is somewhat compact compared to my other impact drivers. This impact driver is a nice high quality cordless power tool. The description and details are not completely clear in the listing about what is included. Since the title and description differ and the images don't show you everything. Well this set includes a very nice, sturdy and durable quality case, a belt clip, the two rechargeable lithium ion batteries with charger. I was disappointed that this impact does not have a bit clip on the head of the drill or the base, like most other ones that I have. And I must also say that the "1 for all" batteries are great, but the Caterpillar brand does not offer as many cordless power tools, as some other brands. But overall, this is an exceptional impact driver set. And the price is fairly reasonable.

We've gone through countless impact drivers for various projects and needs on our land. I had been partial to the DeWalt 20v, though it delivers about 1,500 in-lbs of torque. This particular impact driver from Caterpillar tops out at 1,600 in-lbs, but it's running off 18v batteries. The jury is still out on whether or not this will outperform my latest go-to for skirting installation. Which was the Greenworks 24v. The tradeoff is that it's a bit heavier, but then you get somewhere around 2600 in-lbs of torque with it. So ultimately you have to decide if 1500 in-lbs is suitable for your needs, which it probably will be if you just need a basic commercial-quality impact driver. Especially when working in tight spaces.Upside is that it's brushless. So you won't have to worry about the motor burning out quick, like with many of these off-brand impact drivers they sell for cheap. I was originally a little curious about the pricing, though. You get two batteries instead of the standard single battery you'll get with Greenworks or DeWalt. But this is priced a good fifty to eighty bucks more than either of those other ones. it's priced about eighty bucks more than either of those other ones. But when I was at Lowe's, I noticed spare 18v CAT batteries ran about $90 before tax. So basically the tool itself is priced about the same as the other big brand names. You're just ponying up for a second battery. Which, if you plan on using this for commercial purposes or extended periods of time, is a good investment.Only thing to do now is keep using it, and see how it holds up over the next year or two. I'm inclined to think that it should continue to perform well as time passes, just based on the brand. But I'll be sure to update this review in the future, should anything change. If you're a DIYer that will only use an impact driver once in a blue moon, it honestly wouldn't hurt to look at something that isn't brand-name, and only has one battery. But if you need something reliable that can stand up to frequent use, you can't go wrong with this one.
