- This is an unpaid review of the Dewalt DCF850B Impact Driver and a comparison of it to the Dewalt DCF887B.
20V Impact Driver Model DCF850B
20V Impact Driver Model DCF887B
At less than 4 in. in length, the Atomic 20V 1/4 in. Brushless Cordless 3-Speed Impact Driver can handle tight applications like narrow cabinetry or framing without the need for an additional tool. Though the Impact Driver is lightweight and compact in size, it does not sacrifice performance with its brushless motor that delivers up to 1,825 in-lb of torque and 3,250 rpm for driving large-diameter screws. Illuminate dim workspaces for enhanced visibility with the 3-LED on-board work light and keep your workflow consistent. - Навчання та стиль
I love my DCF850. Plenty of power and its compact size is so helpful. Its my go to driver.
I had the Bluetooth 887 version and just today I got the shorter one I love it
Ya I’ve been happy with both. Great tools so far.
I just changed my handful of dcf887 to dcf850. A dewalt adviser told me "the newest, and best is the dcf850"
Newest isn’t necessarily always the best but in this case I think you made a good decision.
One thing I think you skipped over is that if you choose the 1st speed setting its good for setting screws in more delicate situations, like hanging doors. This is pretty huge because it means the impact driver can be used not just for its "muscle" but also where finesse is needed. More verastile and as a result its my go-to driver.
I touch on the 3 detent speeds, since this is more comparing the two impacts and they both have that feature it didn’t seem necessary to comment further on what each speed is used for. Further most impacts in this price range have that feature as well.
@@ToolsThatBuildnot the same.
The 850 does not impact on setting 1 like the 887 did/does
@@MikeVideos327 it should, the difference between the 3 detents should be the same on both models ( I confirmed with my impact and my rep they function the same on setting one) if that’s what your saying
The 850 is a little monster, absolutely my favorite impact, the 850 is an XR over seas and only an Atomic in North America, I never use my 887 anymore.
I just picked up mine today $89 new in box. Tool only but no biggie. Looking forward to putting the thing to work soon.
Let me know what you think once it’s well used
I’m a year late to the party and I’m really late to the power tool game. I’m 37 and I just learned how to use power tools so I’m embarrassed to say it. I just invested in drills and impact driver and I bought the brushed combo ones at first and I ended up buying the dcf850 cuz my new job I always have to work in tight areas and the DCF850 is a great investment for me. The DCF850 Is my fave in my toolbox.
Hi, why does the bit holder swing a lot with the Dewalt DCF887N screwdriver? Do you recommend any model of small Dewalt impact wrench that does not have this defect? Thank you
Hey, not sure what your asking. Where in the video do you see it swing? And what are you referring to when you say the bit holder?
Forgive me, I'm Italian and I'm trying to make myself understood by translator, I mean the chuck swings , it rocks
@@Trigundel1977 rocks in and out or side to side? Like it’s loose? The chuck goes out and in to release/lock the bit
does it swing from side to side? the tip rotates off axis@@ToolsThatBuild
@@Trigundel1977 it does not swing if I’m understanding you correctly no. If it’s turning off access it’s most likely a bent driver bit. Are you talking about your own driver or one in the video? If your talking about one in the video let me know at what time in the video your referencing as I can’t find what you mean.
Basically, any new tool branded Atomic is one they took the XR version and shrunk down without sacrificing performance.
I bought a $320 kit with the DCF850 and a compact hammer drill, worth every cent.
Originally the atomic line was a cheaper built no frills tool. They usually sold them in kits with 1.5ah batteries with no gauges etc. the price wasn’t low enough to justify the lack of features. They stopped producing those tools and revamped the atomic line up, now they are compact XR but if you buy some of the older atomic tools they are a subpar tool so yes the new ones are good but be careful what your getting because the atomic badge doesn’t always represent value.
@@ToolsThatBuild Some of the old Atomics were also 12V tools, not 20.
@@1steelcobra there was never “atomic” 12v. The new 12v line is and always has been called XTreme 12V.
Drill- Packedge in typical box, came with a tool bag (added bonus), two batteries, one charger, drill, and driver. Two words "plenty of Torque" ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv well I guess that's three. Nice upgrade from current setup. Has belt clips, I don't think I will be using those. Driver and drill were bigger than what I expected but it is an upgrade from the current setup. For the money I would say that this is a great setup for Professionals and DIY/Weekend warriors.
Just curious what the b is for? Compared to the dcf850? Thanks!
B is bare tool much like DCF850P1 is the 850 in a kit that’s all. The impact itself is the DCF850 and the letters after indicate how it’s sold.
In my research on a new tool. I found that the 887 has had a burn up issue. Wonder if this is a real issue or just internet hype
Some people said that early on but I haven’t had any issues and I can’t find any evidence of truth to that rumor
It happened on mine, and VCG construction on UA-cam
Ever had trigger problems with your Atomic 850?
No not one issue been going strong since launch
I've never had an issue with my 850. It's my go to driver. Plenty of power and it fits everywhere.
Which one would you get?
Either is really good but I would get the 850. Smaller head but still a great reliable impact. Mine is still doing great.
887 burns up and has a known issue
craftsman and dewalt are the same company
Yes I say that in the video.
*Drives 2 small screws*
“There they’re basically the same”
Run some 4” and 6” lags. Let’s see the real difference..
I have ran lots of lag bolts using both impacts, they are the same. They are also the same internally so it’s no surprise. Thanks for the feedback
The XR is built tougher. Has stronger gears inside. The atomic is cheaper in build quality and more for homeowners.
Incorrect, same housing and gears inside. You can find lots of examples of them opened up online. The atomic is still geared at the professional to medium heavy use user. Craftsman is the homeowner brand to compete with ryobi.
@@ToolsThatBuildwhere does Kobalt fit in ?
@@BenTheAVGNFan Kobalt would fit in below both of these. It’s a house brand for Lowe’s that’s meant to compete along side mid tier brands like Craftsman and ryobi. Kobalt will be Fine for lots of people but it’s not a professional grade tool, nor is it sold as one.
@@ToolsThatBuild Gotcha, I know there is like a colt that swears by them, but good to know.
