DeWalt DCF887 Impact Driver

“I have the Dewalt DCF887. It makes driving and removing screws effortless, and the impact action does so without stripping heads, wrenching your wrist, and lets you drive long screws into wood like butter. It's the most used tool I own.”

“I do like that the M18 Fuel impact driver is more compact than the Dewalt DCF887”

“the tool repair shop at the other location has literal crates of DCF887 impacts that are just older than 1 year and if the switch just now went out thats not considered a defect so you'll have to ~$97 plus shipping on a tool that sells for $139.”

“I think the DeWalt DCF887 impact driver is more comfortable than the Milwaukee 2853”

“my DCF887 is still chugging along, and I don't plan on replacing it anytime soon.”

“I have a DeWalt DCF887 and its way overpowered for most tasks so I'm waiting for the new 12v screw driver”

“DCF887 and 2853 M18 require $80-90+ electronics assemblies just to replace a trigger. AKA toss the tool and buy another.”

“Very impressed with the power of these tools, and a great upgrade from my older Ryobi gear”

“I was so happy with the Craftsman impact driver that I replaced my dying Dewalt DCF887 with it, since it was pretty much identical but $30 less.”

“I have 4 of the last generation dcf887 and everyone of them has horrendous chuck wobble. Not only that but I am constantly replacing the spring inside the chuck because they brake constantly when you swap bits regularly. Sometimes in as little as 3 days. The anvil/collet wears out very quickly and causes your bits to fall out”

“On a 1/4" impact, it's hard to beat the DCF887 from Dewalt. I have a few different impacts, but keep reaching for that one.”

“a DCF887 impact driver and 2 amp. 3 moths in the trigger assembly started to "flutter". You'd hold the trigger at one speed and the motor would be all over the place. Just like the rest of my coworkers DCF887's. So i switched to red”

“Had the 887 for years and the newer models since released. No failures and they’ve definitely been abused on site and my own projects”

“My dcf887 impact driver which was 200 dollars when i bought it 6 years ago does this thing where when you pull the trigger full and constant it alternates between full and half power every few seconds. Just some electronics issues that cant be fixed.”

“The impact driver has multiple speed settings so it works for more situations than my previous HF Bauer impact, plus the quick insert collet is a nice touch.”

“I just grabbed a DeWalt 20v, DCF887. A cordless impact driver I got at a pawnshop cheap. It will not hold bits in the chuck(?).”

“3 Speed is something I very much appreciate with mine (A dewalt DCF887). Lowest speed gives precise control, middle is great for general purpose driving, top is perfect for driving masonry screws into concrete etc.”

“The 887 is my go-to 1/4” driver, I don’t even use the snap-on 1/4” anymore, and the belt clips on these guns are amazingly convenient.”

“it's a Dewalt DCF887 which has a computerized/smart **"delicate"** setting which seems to do a great job at metering torque”

“I've got a Dewalt and it's great, got the drill and multi tool so they can share batteries if needed. Multi speed is useful, if you want to use it as an electric screwdriver as well as an impact driver, think mine is the Dcf887 from memory.”

“my DeWalt DCF887 impact driver has fallen from the top of my 12ft ladder at least once a week since I bought it.”

“I have the following set and I like it. It came with the 887.”

“Dewalt DCF887 Impact driver, for sure. After using it for screws, small stubborn bolts, and everything in between, I wondered how I ever got by without it.”

“18v impact driver (DCF887) - they are fairly cheap and very good to use for difficult to drive screws - note you need hearing protection.”
