   Quality, Professional equipment
   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

   Still my favorite power tool after more than a year of use!
   I love this driver so much I bought 3 of them (so far). Our crew uses them for almost everything, so I may buy more. We drive screws with it, drill holes, drive lag screws and tighten nuts onto carriage bolts. The get used so much, it’s the tool of choice when we’re building wheelchair ramps. The only time I prefer a drill to drill holes is when it’s a really big hole or I need a hammer drill for concrete. Small holes in the end of deck boards to prevent splitting are much easier with this. It’s so light, and even the light 2.0 Ah battery lasts forever. The DCF887 has the brushless motor for more power and less maintenance. It has TONS of power. We don’t use nails in our ramps, only screws–so it gets a workout. I bought the kit that came with the charger and two 2.0Ah batteries (and case). I also bought several other bare DeWalt 20v tools, but decided to try Enegitech batteries, since they were so much less expensive. After more than a year, I’m sold on generic batteries, so save your money. Shop carefully, though; prices are all over the map. They are 5.0Ah batteries, and although I usually stick with the smaller DeWalt 2.0Ah that came with my kit (they’re lighter so the driver is a little more balanced that way and much easier for smaller people to use), if I don’t have a charged 2.0Ah ready, I just pop in the 5.0Ah and it runs forever. For my usage, I almost always keep the driver set on the middle power setting: 2. When set on 1, it doesn’t have enough power to drive most screws for me, but if I need precision, it’s a good way to get a screw started. However, after some experience, I find I can handle everything I need to do on 2. A bigger lag bolt might require 3, but not often. On 3, it’s too easy to drive the screw halfway through the board if you’re not careful. 2 is perfect for most of my requirements. Having a magnetic attachment is handy to hold your screws. I haven’t found one I love yet. But for driving screws, I can’t recommend this highly enough. You will love it! I strongly advise spending a bit more on this brushless one over the brush versions. More powerful and longer lasting.

   Small but mighty, better than the ATOMIC version by a mile.
   Arrived with belt clip in a small branded DeWalt box. Was surprised to see no driver bit was included, as often drill drivers have a basic bit to start with. First impression is very good. I like the three radial LED lights on the front of the driver. I have the smaller ATOMIC version of this XR driver and this driver is only slightly larger in the parallel axis, the body size is approximately identical. The first task i used this for was tightening a particularly stubborn T25 Torx screw used for a door hinge assembly. On Level 1 of 3, the driver did not advance the screw at all, apparently there is a torque sensor associated with each power level. On level 2, the driver successfully tightened the screw to my desired torque, and in the process destroyed the Torx driver bit that I was using. I am very impressed. I don’t leave reviews very often but this was worthy. If you need compact torque, I highly recommend this item.

   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 techniciansWhile 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 abuseA 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.

    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.
