Dewalt DCF887 18V XR Brushless Impact Driver 3 Speed + 1 x DCB182 4ah Battery

Product Information

As impact drivers have a pistol-like design, they are easy to handle and, most significantly, can handle tight and large fixings easily. If you want the most feature-rich DeWalt impact driver, you go for the Dewalt DCF888 with Tool Connect. In our opinion, however, we’d call the DCF887 the best value DeWalt brushless impact driver. Why? It’s “last year’s model”—and that means discounts! Use the original charger provided with the kit. It will hardly take thirty to seventy minutes to charge the impact driver fully. DeWalt (and other) impact drivers are loud tools! We take an SPL meter and record the A-weighted dB sound pressure level readings from 24” away (approximating the distance from the tool to your ear). We do this in a consistent environment to ensure accurate results. Weight

With 60V FlexVolt tools supplementing higher power for their 20V Max cordless tools, smaller DeWalt 12V tools often get overlooked. In our testing, however, the DeWalt DCF801 does an admirable job accomplishing 80% or more of what you expect from a full-size impact driver. This second generation impact driver is superior to it's first generation counterpart, where it offers more torque, speed, working life and efficiency. Even if a person works with rigid spaces, the lightweight dcf887 allows you to handle it with complete comfort for more extended periods. The most eye-catching feature is probably the brushless motor that delivers up to 57% more run time than brushed motors. DEWALT DCF887 ReviewAlthough the impact driver and drill driver look and work almost the same way, you will need to get an impact driver for better and smooth performance because drill drivers cannot always handle tight materials and blame the torque. Kenny’s life around power tools started early. His grandfather was an airplane mechanic in WW2 and took up woodworking as a hobby after retiring from the power industry. Building everything from bookshelves to lazy Susans, he became extremely accomplished while his young grandson observed, fascinated at the way raw wood could turn into something both beautiful and functional. In fact, Kenny still uses several pieces that his grandfather made more than 30 years ago. Impact drivers have lots of power, but the best tools also stay nice and compact. Overall weight remains an important factor. We measure the bare weight of each tool and also with the most advanced compact battery available at the time of testing. Footprint Dewalt DCF887, with its powerful torque, lets you have a better experience of drilling. It would make it easy for you to:

It is one of the best impact drivers on the market. It has a smooth design and is more powerful than most other drills available in the market. But what about pricing?Sales 101 will teach you that every feature must have a benefit. When we look at the feature set to help determine the best impact driver, we’re looking for features that have tangible benefits. That includes having a brushless motor, the number of speed settings, app-based controls, LED light design, bit insertion/ejection, and more. Value It is highly efficient with every feature and function, including li-ion battery and fast speed, and various kits. It provides every kind of user comfort while working without putting on many excursions. Be it a plumber, mechanic, or electrician, etc. It is the right choice for almost everyone. Although both the models have almost the same features, dcf887 has got some advantages over dcf787. It has 3 LED lights that remain for 20 seconds after trigger release, while dcf787 consists of only one.

PrecisionDrive' mode offers additional control in screwdriving applications to avoid material and fastener damage In this dcf887 review, we will see how this all-new impact driver tool has shaken and captured the market with its unique functions. It is very light as well as compact that enables us to carry it anywhere with ease. Compared to its predecessor, this impact driver is around 15% faster and nearly 30% more powerful, which is a noticeable upgrade for sure. The 400 Watt brushless motor can reach 205Nm of torque. With its variable speed trigger positioned on its XR Switch, you can set three different speed settings and the PrecisionDrive torque setting allows you to have more protection and control over your work. If you need more power than usual, reaching up to 2,800rpm to drive screws in or 3,200 impacts per minute is possible. And finally, since you'll sometimes be working in smaller spaces with this compact device, the LED halo ring around the 1/4" hex drive should help you see your work more clearly. DCF887: Price UKIn our testing, the DeWalt DCF887 impact driver stayed in the top half for performance, design, and value. When we look over this tool, nothing stands out and says “fix this”. It just works…reliably. DeWalt’s product team doesn’t necessarily chase the numbers that other brands push for. Instead, they seem content knowing they have an excellent impact driver. As a DeWalt user, the only decision is whether you want the Tool Connect features available in the DCF888. In the final test, we set our nut-busting rig to 150 ft-lbs (1800 inch-lbs) and see how long it takes to break the nut loose. The result is the total time of 5 tests. Clint’s career has covered nearly the entire realm of audio and video production. After graduating at the top of his class with an Associates Degree in Recording Engineering, he began working for the famed Soundelux studios in 1994, one of the largest post-production companies specializing in audio for feature films & television. Working on a myriad of feature films, Clint honed his skills as a dialogue editor, foley editor, and sound designer. Years later, he moved into the expanding area of video editing, where he served as the company’s senior AVID video editor for three years. The variable speed trigger is what you can find in Dewalt 20v max tools. While testing the 3-speed settings of dcf887, we found out that it can easily sustain 429 RPM under the load. There is an expectation of seeing such a high-level impact driver of this class sustain more than 400 RPM. It is very effortless for dcf887 to reach this target without any hassle. Also, it does not face any issue in driving a ¼ inches screw. The number one thing that we notice about the DeWalt DCF887 is definitely its ultra-compact form factor with a head length of only 140mm. This allows the device to reach the tightest spaces possible and allows you to work in a more comfortable manner. Its lightweight design also helps with that, of course - with only 1.4 kg of weight, the impact driver doesn't become too exhausting to use even after long work periods. In addition to that, the motor design is fully brushless. Which means, it requires little to no servicing in the long run and the batteries last longer than usual. Improved Power and Speed
