dewalt dcf887

there is very little info/reviews on this dcf887 impact.

does anyone have one? any insight and info would be helpful.

it is my favorite cordless tool that I own. Short enough to get into tight places, lightweight, long battery run time, and a good amount of torque. The led's are very handy also

I've got one too... No complaints whatsoever!

I don't have that particular one but I do have a Dewalt 18V impact driver. I use the damn thing all the time and love it so much, I bought one for a spare incase I break the one I have.

If you don't have an impact driver, get one. After you use it a few times, I can almost bet you a dollar, you'll wonder why you didn't buy one sooner.

i have one but its got a few years on it to say the least lol im looking to upgrade.

Lowes has it on display for you to handle, dewalt . com has the specs

Just bought one yesterday. If you are in the midwest, Farm and fleet has Dewalt bare tools on sale for $35 off. Picked mine up for less than $100 out the door.
I have the original 18 volt 1/4 impact DCF 825, and this thing is light years ahead of that one! There is just no comparison between the 2. This one will literally drive a 2" drywall screw so fast on setting 3 that you almost fell like it's out of control. I did buy the 18 volt adaptor kit for my 18 volt tools that had 2 2 amp 20 volt batteries and the adaptor. These batteries did give the old tools a new breath of fresh air and I figured since I already had the batteries and charger I would splurge and get the 887 since I use the 1/4" impact the most. I also have the 1/2" 18 volt impact 820 for working on lug nuts.
The 820 struggled even when new on taking lug nuts off with new batteries. The Ni-Cad batteries just **** so bad, and when I put the 2 amp 20 volts on this tool it made it work so much better. I was able to take off all 4 wheels on my car without it even working up a sweat. With my 18 volt NiCads, the battery would be dead after 1 wheel and it had no power to break the lugs off.
I think the DCF887 is actually stronger than the 1/2" DCF 820 and will have no problem with lug nuts. Don't be scared of the 2 amp smaller batteries in the adaptor kit, they last sooo much longer it is worth the price. Then you can slowly work your way into the 20 volt line and buy bare tools like the 887! LOVE IT!

Precision mode isn't so hot but it's a great impact driver. I use the Fuel more because of the narrower front end, but I like the lighting solution on the 887 more.

Yeah definitely, an impact is so much more powerful than a regular drill. I bought some drill bits that have are hex, so they fit into the impact.

I used it last week to install blinds in my friend's house -- to pre-drill for the holes for the mounting brackets, and then I used my manual screwdriver to drive the screws into the wood so I could feel when the fasteners were getting snug enough. I had my regular DeWalt non-impact drill -- could've used either.

I have the DCF885. Love it and use it all the time. Definitely one of those 'why didn't I buy this sooner' tools.

I have the 895 brushless impact. That thing is amazing. I used it with a 1/2" square adapter and an impact socket to change tires on a rusty old boat trailer on the weekend. Spun the lug nuts off with ease.
