20V MAX XR Impact Driver, 1/4 Inch High Torque Brushless 3 Speed Premium Cordless with LED Light, Extended Runtime, Tool Only (DCF845B)

I use DeWalt and Ryobi battery powered power tools. I am retired , was only using them on occasion.I had Ryobi for many years, before I started up a company I only used the Ryobi driver and drill. After the company fired up, I was using many different Ryobi tools, putting many hours on them, at this point even my oldest ones are still working well. I was checking out the DeWalt driver at store and I liked it's feel and size, so I had to find out why DeWalt has been around for a long time. At this point I am very happy with it's design, the light on the front has served me well on many occasions. I wasn't sure about the speeds 1 thru 3, but after using them I found them very useful. It has a lot of power, which I definitely love. I use it exclusively at this point and have since purchased a reciprocating saw, and a cut off tool. The brand new cut off tool is another story. Right out of the box it was defective, spindle had probably half inch of play in and out. And, spindle lock did not work at all. I've never purchased a Ryobi tool that was defective out of the box, plus they all still operate to this day. I will let you know if there is a problem with this driver

Great product. Exactly what I needed

Works great in my small engine repair shop .

powerful and seems to be doing the job no issues with it

The DEWALT 20V MAX XR Impact Driver (DCF887B) has exceeded my expectations in every way during my DIY testing. What stands out most is its power and efficiency. The brushless motor delivers consistent torque across three speed settings, allowing me to tackle a variety of tasks from driving screws into tough materials to delicate assembly work without a hitch. One thing to note is its compact size, which makes it incredibly maneuverable in tight spaces. However, the trade-off is a slightly heavier weight compared to smaller models, which can be noticeable during prolonged use. I've used this impact driver extensively for building shelves, assembling furniture, and even light automotive work. The LED lights around the chuck are a thoughtful addition, illuminating the work area well, especially in dimly lit corners. In summary, if you're searching for a powerful, reliable impact driver for your DIY projects, the DEWALT DCF887B is a top contender. Its robust performance and ergonomic design make it a valuable addition to any toolkit, ensuring efficiency and precision with every use.

So, when the VERY short Dewalt Atomic 850 driver came out it got great reviews and really outpowered almost every other driver in the Dewalt ecosystem. I was sold, but then I started to read reviews mentioning reliability issues (from trades people in particular). Indeed, there were a LOT of them reporting they just didn't hold up. Around this same time, Dewalt released the 840 driver (Sheesh Dewalt....too many drivers!), and it had even more power, but was a little longer and had no speed controls. I assumed Dewalt would release a new XR version to replace their older (but still around) driver and sure enough - this 845 XR came along. Honestly, I'm pretty happy with it overall. Balance, power, control, etc. - all work really well for me. I just used it to install some shower grab bar anchor screws just the other day. No complaints for my uses cases which don't include driving a lot of big lags. The only downside to this tool and even the 850 was that it did not move the bar in terms of sheer power (important IF that is what you need) - especially as compared to Milwaukee and their monster drivers. If you do need that power, then maybe a Milwau....wait, this just in, Dewalt is releasing TWO MORE drivers this year. One is a hydraulic impact (nice for inside use!) and the other is clearly designed to go after Milwaukee on the power front. At first, I regretted not waiting for the new, more powerful, driver they ar releasing, but honestly, it is bulkier, likely heavier and, again for my use case, I'd rather have the smaller tool with likely more finesse (maybe not Makita level finesse, but still good). It is all about the RIGHT tool for the job (which is also why I have the more compact DCD800 drill driver as my every day drill over the BIG 99* series). Nothing wrong with the BIG BOY tools, but overkill for a lot of jobs. I am, of course, tempted by the new hydraulic driver...can't wait!

Great Item at a Great Price! THANKS!!

Performs flawlessly

This DEWALT 20V MAX XR impact driver redefines expectations for compact tools. The brushless motor delivers 1825 in-lbs of torque in a package lighter than most competitors, while the 3-speed selector lets me match power to the task - from delicate cabinet work to driving 6" lag bolts. After six months of daily professional use, it shows no signs of wear and maintains consistent power through entire battery charges. **Key Features:** ✔ **Precision Control**: Electronic brake prevents over-driving ✔ **Compact Design**: Fits in tight spaces (5.3" head length) ✔ **Durable Construction**: Survived multiple 10ft drops ✔ **Efficient Brushless Motor**: 57% more runtime than brushed **Performance Highlights:** - Drove 500+ deck screws on single charge - Removed rusted trailer hitch bolts effortlessly - Maintained speed under load **Technical Advantages:** ✓ 0-3,400 RPM / 0-3,800 IPM ✓ Belt hook included ✓ LED worklight with 20-second delay **Why Professionals Choose It:** - Actually fits between 16" on-center studs - Provides noticeable vibration reduction - Delivers consistent power until cutoff **Perfect For:** • Framing crews needing all-day tool • Electricians running conduit • Automotive technicians While tool-only, it's worth investing in DEWALT's 20V system. The balance and power make this my go-to for any driving task, eclipsing heavier models I've used for years. **Why 5 Stars?** - Exceeds pro-grade expectations - Innovative speed control prevents material damage - Built to withstand jobsite abuse A rare tool that makes you work faster with less fatigue. The DCF845B has become my most reached-for driver, proving that smart engineering beats raw power alone. **Note:** Pair with 5Ah battery for heaviest tasks. **Pro Tip:** Use speed 1 for precision work, speed 3 for stubborn fasteners. This impact driver represents the perfect balance of power, control, and durability - worth every penny for serious users. It's ruined me for lesser tools. **Bonus:** The tri-LED light actually illuminates the work area effectively.

Beste Akku schrauber Preis Leistung top Akku extra + Ladegerät dazu gekauft Besser als alle anderen schrauber

Muy buen complemento para tu taladro. Tengo un par de años con el y todo perfecto.

all good

Me gustó mucho por la fuerza que ofrece y la capacidad de elegir la velocidad y el modo para los tornillos autoperforantes. Esto de los tornillos con punta de broca no lo vi en el manual, en uno de varios videos que me encontré sobre esta máquina tratan ese asunto, hice la prueba y resulta que sí, funciona perfecto: Perfora, hace un ligero zumbido, se detiene unos segundos y luego lo atornilla hasta el fondo. De plano, no me gusta un atornillador de impacto para hacer perforaciones, puede hacer demasiado ruido en comparación con un taladro. Respecto al consumo de batería, es insignificante. Una de 2 Ah puede durar mucho y la herramienta se mantiene muy ligera.
