The verdictOur take

The DCF801 is DeWalt's 12V XR sub-compact impact driver, a 3-speed brushless tool that punches well above its size at 163Nm, in a tiny 0.8kg bare body. It is built for one-handed and overhead fastening where an 18V driver feels heavy. We rate it a strong light-trade and second-fix choice for anyone on 12V XR; for more torque and the bigger battery ecosystem, the 18V DCF887 is the step up.
