Just as important? Being as usable as possible, and thankfully the DCF885 is the perfect example of a tool that features just as much brain as it does brawn. And trust us…we’re speaking from experience here, having resorted to using a drill driver on several projects to drive longer fixings into tough materials like hardwood, steel, and concrete.

Brushed motors will, in general, require constant maintenance to supplant destroyed brushes. 885 VS 887 – Motor Performance

It makes sense when you look at the stats of the respective types of tool. The torque output of the DEWALT DCD777C2 drill driver that we looked at previously, for example, sits at 500 in-lbs. Sounds good, but compare this to the impact driver at the center of this article (1,400 in-lbs) and there’s no contest! DeWalt DCF885 is one of the famous impact drivers of the DeWalt brand. It is available in many different kits, and each kit offers various equipment with the tool. If you’re looking for a lightweight, compact impact driver, it is the best choice for you. While it doesn’t come with a brushless motor (it features a brushed motor instead), and despite not being the most powerful impact driver in DEWALT’s range, the DCF885 still boasts more than enough power to make a good choice for professionals and DIYers alike.
