Both the impact drivers DCF885 and DCF887 have a massive advantage in battery consumption. With the DEWALT DCF885 impact driver, you can use any MAX battery of any amperage. The DCF885 impact driver works with DEWALT’s FLEXVOLT system, allowing you to increase runtime drastically by using batteries with a power up to 12.0 Ah.

Users were impressed by the overall durability of this impact driver. Some users claimed that they dropped this tool almost every day without noticing a serious drop in its overall performance. Finally, the design of the impact driver has been focused around making it as comfortable and easy-to-use as possible. It makes sense when you look at the stats of the respective types of tool. The torque output of the DEWALT DCD777C2 drill driver that we looked at previously, for example, sits at 500 in-lbs. Sounds good, but compare this to the impact driver at the center of this article (1,400 in-lbs) and there’s no contest! The DCF887 sits a couple of models above the DCF885 in DEWALT’s range of impact drivers, so it isn’t surprising that it comes with a few additional benefits out of the box.The lightweight and compact design was a major hit with most users. This allows you to use the driver for long periods of time without experiencing fatigue. Part of the intelligent XR Lithium Ion Series designed for efficiency and making applications faster It works with DEWALT’s range of 20V Max lithium ion batteries, with these being known to hold a higher energy density than standard batteries, helping the impact driver to run for longer between charges.

Generally speaking, users praised this tool for carrying on the DEWALT tradition of high-quality tools. And if you already have any compatible DEWALT batteries laying around, that makes this tool even easier to use Another factor that adds to this model’s outstanding performance is the fact that it comes with a lithium-ion battery as standard (in all kits except the DCF885B which comes with the tool only). The torque density of the motor is very high. That means the higher horsepower of the Dewalt DCF887 motor comes from the lower speed it spins at. The higher the torque density, the more power you can get from a motor with a given weight.DEWALT DCF887 introduces a powerful brushless motor in a compact 4-1/2-inch tool body for precision drilling, driving, and fastening. The DCF887 impact driver has a variable speed range of 0-450/0-1,500 RPM and provides 2,400 in./lbs. Of max torque, which is more torque than the typical cordless drill.

With a maximum torque output of 1400 IN-LBS and maximum impacts per minute of 3,200 IPM, the DCF885 delivers more than enough power to handle larger fixings in the toughest of materials. One of the few gripes that users had was that the machine isn’t very quiet. Most impact drivers are noisy, but you may need to be wary of waking your family when you use this one Firstly, the stand-out difference between the DEWALT DCF885 vs DCF887 is that the latter comes with a brushless motor as standard, as opposed to the brushed motor that the DCF885 comes with.

The DCF885 impact drivers carry out up to 2800 RPM and 3200 IPM at a torque of 1400 inch-pounds. These are impressive stats for a passage-level impact driver.
