Performance
Physical & Build
The DCF887 is DeWalt's mainstream 18V XR brushless impact driver, a 3-speed 205Nm tool with Precision Drive assist to stop screws stripping or overdriving. At 134mm it is a touch longer than the compact ATOMIC DCF850 but covers the bulk of fastening work. We rate it the safe all-round XR pick; for tight access the shorter DCF850 matches it on torque, and for serious bolt work the 282Nm DCF860 is the step up.
