Review: This DEWALT 20V MAX XR impact driver redefines expectations for compact tools. The brushless motor delivers 1825 in-lbs of torque in a package lighter than most competitors, while the 3-speed selector lets me match power to the task - from delicate cabinet work to driving 6" lag bolts. After six months of daily professional use, it shows no signs of wear and maintains consistent power through entire battery charges. **Key Features:** ✔ **Precision Control**: Electronic brake prevents over-driving ✔ **Compact Design**: Fits in tight spaces (5.3" head length) ✔ **Durable Construction**: Survived multiple 10ft drops ✔ **Efficient Brushless Motor**: 57% more runtime than brushed **Performance Highlights:** - Drove 500+ deck screws on single charge - Removed rusted trailer hitch bolts effortlessly - Maintained speed under load **Technical Advantages:** ✓ 0-3,400 RPM / 0-3,800 IPM ✓ Belt hook included ✓ LED worklight with 20-second delay **Why Professionals Choose It:** - Actually fits between 16" on-center studs - Provides noticeable vibration reduction - Delivers consistent power until cutoff **Perfect For:** • Framing crews needing all-day tool • Electricians running conduit • Automotive technicians While tool-only, it's worth investing in DEWALT's 20V system. The balance and power make this my go-to for any driving task, eclipsing heavier models I've used for years. **Why 5 Stars?** - Exceeds pro-grade expectations - Innovative speed control prevents material damage - Built to withstand jobsite abuse A rare tool that makes you work faster with less fatigue. The DCF845B has become my most reached-for driver, proving that smart engineering beats raw power alone. **Note:** Pair with 5Ah battery for heaviest tasks. **Pro Tip:** Use speed 1 for precision work, speed 3 for stubborn fasteners. This impact driver represents the perfect balance of power, control, and durability - worth every penny for serious users. It's ruined me for lesser tools. **Bonus:** The tri-LED light actually illuminates the work area effectively.
Review: I use DeWalt and Ryobi battery powered power tools. I am retired , was only using them on occasion.I had Ryobi for many years, before I started up a company I only used the Ryobi driver and drill. After the company fired up, I was using many different Ryobi tools, putting many hours on them, at this point even my oldest ones are still working well. I was checking out the DeWalt driver at store and I liked it's feel and size, so I had to find out why DeWalt has been around for a long time. At this point I am very happy with it's design, the light on the front has served me well on many occasions. I wasn't sure about the speeds 1 thru 3, but after using them I found them very useful. It has a lot of power, which I definitely love. I use it exclusively at this point and have since purchased a reciprocating saw, and a cut off tool. The brand new cut off tool is another story. Right out of the box it was defective, spindle had probably half inch of play in and out. And, spindle lock did not work at all. I've never purchased a Ryobi tool that was defective out of the box, plus they all still operate to this day. I will let you know if there is a problem with this driver

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many foot lbs does this produce? tia.?**
A: 152ft-lbs, according to Dewalt's website.  Enough to injure your wrist if you're not prepared for the power. It's an awesome tool!

**Q: What's the difference between this and the 885b non xr?**
A: The 887 is much stronger as well. This one has 1800 inch lbs of torque which is stronger than any other brand's impact driver (except the kobalt 24v but it's much lighter than that one)

What the power means is that it will drive a large lag bolt quicker and smoother than other brands which will struggle to do the same job

Don't even consider brushed version.  The brushless are more powerful, more energy efficient and made in USA.  They only cost a little more so not really a benefit to get the 885

**Q: What type of adaptor is needed for socket use with this impact driver?**
A: You can purchase on here 1/4" hex to socket adapters for 1/4,3/8,1/2" sockets.  However, this is not an impact wrench, it is an impact driver.  So you will have no problems using this for basic socket tasks, but you would not want to try and change a tire.

**Q: Is a dcb205 battery compatible with this driver?**
A: Yes, all 20v battery wether it's 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 or 5.0 ah battery works
