This bundle pairs the DEWALT 20V MAX XR Brushless 1/4 in. Quiet Hydraulic Impact Driver with the DEWALT 20V MAX 3.0Ah Compact Battery & Charger Starter Kit, turning a bare tool into a complete, ready-to-work kit. Model Numbers: DCF870B (quiet hydraulic impact driver, tool only), DCB230C (20V MAX 3.0Ah compact battery and charger kit).

The DCF870B uses a hydraulic drive system that DEWALT rates as up to 57% quieter during impacting than its standard cordless impact drivers. Quiet does not mean slow: the brushless motor delivers up to 3,000 RPM, 4,200 impacts per minute, and 500 in-lbs of torque, with published claims of up to 40% faster driving in demanding applications. That makes it a strong fit for schools, offices, healthcare facilities, apartment turnovers, and any occupied space where a conventional impact driver is too loud.

The tool is built for access and control. At roughly 4 in. long and 2.2 lbs bare, it fits between studs, inside cabinets, and around ductwork. A 1/4 in. quick-connect hex chuck takes standard impact bits, 2-speed mode select (0 to 1,100 / 0 to 3,000 RPM) lets you match output to the fastener, and a 9-LED work light with a 20-minute work light mode helps in dark utility rooms and under cabinets.

The DCB230C kit supplies the power. The DCB230 3.0Ah compact battery gives more runtime than a small starter pack while staying lighter and shorter than larger packs, and its 3-LED fuel gauge shows remaining charge at a glance. Lithium-ion chemistry means no memory effect and very low self-discharge. The included charger handles DEWALT 12V MAX and 20V MAX lithium-ion batteries, charges a 20V 3.0Ah pack in about 45 minutes, and uses LED diagnostics to show charging status and battery temperature.

Who should buy it? Finish carpenters, cabinet installers, remodelers, electricians, HVAC techs, maintenance crews, and commercial punch-out teams who want a quiet, compact impact driver and do not already own a DEWALT 20V MAX battery and charger. It is also a clean entry point into the DEWALT 20V MAX platform.

DEWALT's Quietest Impact Driver, Ready to Work

The DCF870B is a purpose-built quiet driver, and pairing it with a compact 3.0Ah battery and charger keeps it light, balanced, and ready out of the box.

• Who it's for: Remodelers, finish carpenters, electricians, HVAC techs, and maintenance crews working in occupied buildings or tight interiors who need a battery and charger with the tool.
• Why it stands out: Up to 57% quieter impacting without giving up pace, at 3,000 RPM and 4,200 IPM, on a compact pack that does not make the tool nose-heavy.
• Worth knowing: This kit includes one battery, so heavy all-day users will want a second 20V MAX pack in rotation. The driver is rated at 500 in-lbs; if your work is mostly heavy lag driving, a high-torque impact may still belong in the truck.

• Does this bundle include a battery and charger? Yes. It includes one DCB230 20V MAX 3.0Ah compact battery and one DEWALT 12V/20V MAX charger, from the DCB230C kit.
• Is this a standard impact driver or a hydraulic impact driver? It is a hydraulic impact driver. The hydraulic mechanism reduces noise during impacting by up to 57% compared to standard DEWALT cordless impact drivers.
• How long does the included battery take to charge? About 45 minutes for the 20V 3.0Ah battery on the included charger.
• Does it use standard impact bits? Yes. The 1/4 in. quick-connect hex chuck accepts standard impact-rated 1/4 in. hex bits. Bits are not included.
• Will the battery work with my other DEWALT tools? Yes. The DCB230 is a DEWALT 20V MAX battery, and the charger also charges DEWALT 12V MAX lithium-ion batteries.
