this is an excellent tool. great power to drive screws. i just spent the day building 8 ft tall shelves in my garage, open shelves in my kitchen, and shelves in my basement food storage room. this made the work easy. my hand was wearing out before this impact driver was. the battery was still very full after probably 5 hours of work. i drilled a dozen holes or so, without issue. then spent hours driving screws into 2x4s and plywood. i'm just some regular dude who does basic projects around my home. this tool was plenty. all i really need. i don't doubt that the brushless motor version is more efficient and powerful, but unless you literally professionally do this kind of work day in and day out, i can't imagine this brush engine version being insufficient for weekend (home) warrior work. the work i did today is about the roughest kind of day i'd ever put a tool through. and i don't think i even used half the battery power. i only have 1 battery. started fully charged. and when i was done, i put it in the charger and it was recharged in like 30 minutes. (and i don't even have the speed charger... just the basic one.) anyway, great tool and great price. in the future when this one eventually gives out or if it ever does i'll prolly buy the brushless version just to check it and see if it's different out better or whatever. but for the kind of home projects i do, this tool is certainly good to go.

I love this thing. I've been working on cars a long, long time and wish I had gotten one sooner. It makes working on cars much faster and more fun. If you fix or modify cars, think about how much time you spend taking nuts and bolts on and off of parts. Bolts on a car may be 15-24 threads per inch, meaning you have to turn a bolt 15 full revolutions to move each bolt one inch. Now imagine if that was almost instantaneous.

This has a lot of torque for a lightweight tool so it can handle a lot of jobs and it's fairly small and cordless so it can get into a lot of spots underneath the car. For bolts that are on too tight for this tool, I still loosen it with a wrench then hit it with this driver because it saves to much time. Same thing for tightening - I'll run it up most or all of the way (depending on torque needed) then set the final torque with a torque wrench.

The bag is not quite to the scale shown in the picture. It's cute for carrying a sandwich to your work site, just don't expect to carry a club sandwich or something with a lot of tomato.

As usual dewalt produces solid products. Just replace a 5 Plus years old dewalt drill. Been wanting an upgrade since the newer one has more power, the drill and battery are smaller and compact. I bought this here on amazon bc it was cheaper than Lowe's and Home Depot. Plus side...comes with a sturdy bag if you buy from the big box store it does not come with a bag. The bag is way better than those big bulky plastic cases. Overall, I'm happy about this upgrade.

Great device works like a charm. Wish the battery contained more of a charge inbetween uses but for the price this was expected and I can always upgrade to a larger battery in the future. The 3 LED lights on the front of the drill are great for illuminating what your working on. The Hog Nose release system works great for switching bits on the fly as well. All in all this was a good purchase and would do so again as a gift.

My first impact driver. Went to work & found two of my coworkers using this same DW. Tried it & got sold. Made in USA! Bought the DCF885C2, it comes with extra battery, belt hook & hard case, not soft bag.
