DeWALT Impact Drivers
Choosing the Right DeWALT Impact Driver
DeWALT impact drivers drive long screws, lags, and self-tapping fasteners through a 1/4-inch hex chuck. Most models here run on 20V MAX batteries, in compact ATOMIC and full-size XR versions. The lineup also includes the XTREME 12V MAX for tight spaces, the DCF870 Quiet Hydraulic, the DCF860 high torque model, and Tool Connect versions. Buy tool-only, or as a kit with batteries, including POWERSTACK and POWERPACK kits.
What to Look For
- Size class. ATOMIC and XTREME models are shorter and lighter for tight spaces, while XR models are DeWALT's full-size line for heavy fastening.
- Speed settings. 3-speed models like the DCF845, DCF887, and DCF850 let you drop power for small screws and trim.
- Hydraulic drive. The DCF870 uses a fluid-filled drive for lower noise and smoother driving.
- Kit or tool only. Kits range from 1.3Ah compact packs to 5.0Ah batteries. Tool-only fits an existing 20V MAX setup.
