The different speed selection is useful and the torque is much higher than the drill driver, which is okay for small DIY jobs but not up to CLS stud work for example. Precision Drive mode offers additional control in screw driving applications to avoid material and fastener damage. The DeWalt DCF887 boasts an improved brushless motor which gives increased torque as well as maintaining excellent power and efficiency in a range of light to heavy applications.

It has a super lightweight and compact design that is very comfortable to use and fits in small spaces. Fitted with a high power, brushless motor that is capable of outputting up to 205Nm of torque, ensuring heavy applications are completed quickly. The DEWALT 18V XR Brushless 3 speed Impact Driver is a powerful heavy duty driver that is ultra-compact. This second generation impact driver is superior to it's first generation counterpart, where it offers more torque, speed, working life and efficiency. Powered by a DEWALT 18V XR battery and a fan-cooled brushless motor, the DCF887 puts out up to 205Nm of torque which ensures that heavy-duty fastening applications are completed quickly without needing to recharge the batteries.Bought as a second driver for the added torque for driving 6 120mm stud screws quickly and flexibility of the 3 speed settings, i found my existing impact driver whist brilliant was a bit to much for smaller screws, so now i can use the 887 for the big and small jobs and the 787 for the in between jobs with different bits installed to speed up workflow. DEWALT DCF887N 18V XR BL 3 Speed Impact Driver Bare Unit The DCF887 XR Brushless 18v dewalt impact driver is equipped with application control, this is achieved through 3 motor speeds and torque settings. I bought this as I had a Dewalt XR drill driver which came with two batteries but lacked some torque when driving screws into wood; a driver could use the spare battery and have more torque. This DeWalt impact driver features an integrated 3 mode selector which gives a variety of speeds to suit different applications; where mode 1 suits light and small jobs and mode 3 suits heavy impact jobs.

Featuring Aluminium front housing the DCF887 18 volt dewalt impact driver provides greater heat dispersion increasing motor life. With 3 speed on torque modes, you can exercise complete control over countless fastening applications. The DCF887N-XJ impact drivers overall length has been reduced to 135mm making it ideal for use in compact and small spaces.

The following are trademarks for one or more DEWALT power tools, accessories, anchors and concrete adhesives: The yellow and black color scheme; the “D”-shaped air intake grill; the array of pyramids on the handgrip; the kit box configuration; and the array of lozenge-shaped humps on the surface of the tool. I did wonder initially if i should have gone up to festool etc, but for the work i am doing the 18v dewalts are in for the win.
