The verdictOur take

The DCF860 is DeWalt's high-torque 18V XR impact driver, a 3-speed brushless tool rated at 282Nm, the most powerful driver in this group and built for structural fixings and large fasteners. It keeps Precision Drive assist for control despite the extra grunt. We rate it the choice for XR owners doing heavy bolting; if you do not need that much torque, the 205Nm DCF887 or compact DCF850 are lighter everyday drivers.
