Great DIY/Project Tool

I bought this as I had a Dewalt XR drill driver which came with two batteries but lacked some torque when driving screws into wood; a driver could use the spare battery and have more torque.

Well this unit has the torque. The different speed selection is useful and the torque is much higher than the drill driver, which is okay for small DIY jobs but not up to CLS stud work for example.

The only warning I would give is to also get driver bits. I have found I am stripping the cheaper screwdriver bits quite quickly.

The batteries last well but will be significantly discharged over a day, I use the drill for pilots and the driver for the heavy screws. Consider a spare battery for charging and a fast charger to get it charged while using the others or to do multiple batteries overnight.

Really happy with the tool though. No problems at all, just adapting to having the right tool with a lot more power.

Brushless isn’t the way

Workhorse with induction motors, nothing to wear out.

Bought as a second driver for the added torque for driving 6 120mm stud screws quickly and flexibility of the 3 speed settings, i found my existing impact driver whist brilliant was a bit to much for smaller screws, so now i can use the 887 for the big and small jobs and the 787 for the in between jobs with different bits installed to speed up workflow. I have been very impressed by the dewalt yellow range so far. I did wonder initially if i should have gone up to festool etc, but for the work i am doing the 18v dewalts are in for the win. Have the 2ah batts for the impact driver so keeps weight down and the 5ah on everything else.Read full review...

No Less Than Expected

After many years of daily service, my old dewalt impact driver finally gave up. I didn't think it possible to improve on the old one but boy I was wrong! The three speed function is a great feature and the torque is immense for an 18v. I used my mates makita one while waiting for the delivery of the new unit and it was useless compared to this. If you're in the trade and haven't invested in the dewalt platform then I strongly recommend you do! Read full review...

They don’t come better than this!

Had a Bosch Pro Model for years and thought it was really good! It’s a toy compared to this! Am building a collection of DeWalt tools in the XR range including a drill, jigsaw, chop saw. Have been so impressed with the power, quality and battery sharing I went for this. It’s so powerful you have to take care not to overdrive screws. Great illumination of the job from the LED’ s (which remain on for some seconds after use) and simple push in/quick release of bits. I really cannot fault it!

A brilliant buy with a 3 year warranty!

Good quality versatile & powerful.

Cracking bit of kit the three speed settings are a great improvement on the older model. Setting one is ideal for counter sinking screws. Compact size allows you to get into small awkward spaces.

Oh my! What a tool!!

This is perfect. Have used non Stop around the house and garden- very powerful unit. Setting 1 ideal for regular screw type jobs, setting 2 is ideal for joist screws and bolts and setting 3........ may as well be used to torque your wheel nuts!!Read full review...

Should have bought one years ago

Fantastic light impact driver with 3 led lights to illuminate work piece. Way better than using a drill to drive screws etc as they always slip and damage both screw fitting and bit. Awesome non slip power in 3 levels and smooth variable trigger make job easy. Read full review...

Wanted one of these for ages and the misses wanted a birthday idea so a win win in my eyes. Great build quality, a looks good to the 3 speed setting Is a good idea so you don't over do it when driving in the little screws. Bloody fantastic tool, if you don't have one buy one it won't be a disappointment. Great job dewalt Read full review...

DCF997N Brushless impact driver 18v

I love it & I think it will pay for it's self in the bits I'm know longer braking & can't get over how much more powerful it is on the 3rd speed I've undone the drive nut & clutch basket nut with a 1/2" drive adaptor where I'd have to use an impact wrench I could go on but just buy one you won't be disappointed it's just a versatile bit of kit 5⭐Read full review...

Dewalt DCF887N has the Power

This Dewalt DCF887N impact driver is amazing, if you already have a Dewalt drill then you can use your battery from that, saving you having to buy one etc...The Dewalt 887 impact driver is so effective & powerful, it does not muck around when it comes to the job at hand, I use it for everyday screwing & drilling (wood, masonry, brick,) also it takes off & on the cars wheel bolts with ease, it definitely has some kick to it especially if on speed 3 (powerful speed/torque) I always use speed 1 & speed 2, I’ve had no need to try/use speed 3 as of yet! But hopefully will do at some point. Overall the Dewalt 887 is well made, it’s balanced very well in your hand, powerful & effortless to tackle most hard jobs & the Halo lights around the impact chuck is a great feature from this driver. I definitely would not be without one now. Read full review...
