Upgraded from an older 18v kit. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv I independently chose the drill and impact tool, before I came across the kit.I like the 3 speed impact gun. It seems more powerful than my older one, and it can be set to be really gentle. The drill is more appropriately sized for my use. I used to have a hammer drill, but I did not like that it was so big and it was not a great hammer drill. I rather have a smaller drill like this, and then get a corded hammer drill for the odd case I need that.
Thanks for the information. These are the same price right now at my local home store and I was trying to figure out what the difference was. I'll be buying the 887 because it's more versatile with its three speeds.
I went from an 887 to an 809 and I'm loving the 809 so far. The 887 is notorious for having issues with the speed selector. After a few years I started having problems where I would have it in speed 2 and it would think it was in speed 3 or I would have it in speed 3 and it would act like it was in speed 1. Plus the variable trigger on the 809 is sooooo much nicer than the 887. The trigger on the 887 doesn't feel nice at all, it's hard to control the speed. The 809 works fine for construction screws and drywall screws and things like that. If I'm driving lags screws I'll use my big XR drill. Plus I got my 809 on sale for $70 so for that price I'm super happy with it
Just picked up the 809 kit today from Home Depot for $99 and I still think that's a fair price for this tool. Mine came with the tool itself, a 2.0 Ah battery, battery charger, belt hook, and carrying case. Haven't even used it yet and I already love it. I've used several Dewalt tools in the past and I've noticed that they're very durable and tough tools.
@@MichaelMechanixHello, to date, how has the DeWalt 809 screwdriver turned out for you? Is it as good as it says? Could you tell me if you know its current price, with charger and battery.
Home Depot had the 809 w/ 2 batteries , charger, and bag for $99. The batteries are 1.5AH, but I have it in my garage where I service my window air conditioners and do minor repairs on bikes and other equipment. Anything else, I use my bigger impact guns and drills in the wood/mechanical shop or any other construction projects needing extra power in the tools. For $99 you can't go wrong for minor stuff...keeps me from walking 200 ft to the shop to get the others. LOL I'm a serious fan of the black and yellow...but on big construction jobs the Milwaukee 18 volt fuel line of impacts is number one. Milwaukee is in the lead with their variety of 18 volt tools as well...like mag drills ($2600.00), portable strut cutters ($3000.00), etc. Good video. Thanks.
I just bought the 809 kit today from Home Depot and it came with 1 battery (2.0 Ah), a charger, belt hook and carrying case for $99. I thought that was a good price for this tool. I'm gonna use it for DIY car maintenance at home.
I just bought the 809 kit from Home Depot this afternoon. It came with the tool itself, a 2.0Ah battery, a battery charger, belt hook and carrying case for $99. I thought that was a good price. I was looking at other impact drivers from other brands (Ryobi, Makita, Milwaukee) and went with this DeWalt kit because of the price and how compact it is. The Ryobi one was way too big and bulky while the Makita and Milwaukee ones were just a little out of my price range. I've used several DeWalt tools in the past but never owned one until today. I've noticed that they are very tough/durable tools and seem to last a long time.
Tell you what?! For $149.00 I'd rather take the DCF887 over the Atomic for $129.00 for $20.00 more I can get the ones that have the max torque and max Rpm's of 3250. But I don't think I ever gonna need another one because my dcf888 is working fine! I love it! Well you know what! I'm thinking about replacing my old and worn out and smoked Ryobi p237 brushed 3 Speed Impact driver and I'm choosing between the Craftsman Brushless Impact Driver or the DeWalt dcf 809 And I haven't decided yet!! But they're both great impact drivers though
I actually just picked up the Craftsman display brushless impact with a charger and 4ah battery for $63 dollars. I'm collecting impacts for a comparison video and designing tool and Battery mounts. The craftsman brushless seemed nice for the price! I would check your local Lowes and see if they have any of the brushless Craftsman on sale or not!
I have the 809 Atomic and love it. I am not a fan of the manual 3 speed transmission on the 887 due to debris getting inside the switch and jamming it. Also heard the 887 has overheating problems. I abuse the 809 everyday no issues
Glad to hear the 809 is working well for you! I think the 887 overheating is likely for contractors running giant lags all day long. Where potentially an impact wrench would likely be a better fit. Just my thoughts, but haven't had overheating so far.
I just picked up the DCK278C2 kit that comes with the 809 impact and 708 drill, Home depot is running a promo right now and was able to get a 5ah battery for free! for 300$ I think this is more than what I need at home.
In the UK the prices are almost identical (£2-3 difference). You could quite easily lose that saving on a busted piece of wood from less control, so the DCF887 is more economical. I moved from a DCF885, which was very powerful, but little control to the DCF887. I find this more useful as a DIYer, as I don't need to change drivers.
Oh yeah! That's what I have in my tool bag besides my Hitachi Triple Hammer Multi-Volt IP-56 Rated Brushless Impact Driver. I got a DeWalt dcf888 with a 5.0 and 8.0ah Battery Pack and dcf801 Xtreme with a 5.0ah 12V battery pack in my tool bag along with my DeWalt dcd996 Brushless Hammer Drill and my XR 7-1/4" Brushless Circular saw. The dcf888 and the dcf894 1/2" Midrange Brushless Impact Wrench are good tandems in my jobsite.
Ive had the ATOMIC 809 for a while now. Bought my firat place, did reno's with it, built with it, etc. Considering I paid $360 and got it in a 4-tool kit, it does exactly what both my wallet and I ask.
Hi, the 887 is stronger, I’ve seen this tool smoke and burned, I’m not sure if it’s just that tool or if this 887 is an issue! Idk, I’m interested in it just not sure! Excellent demonstration ty, Bob,
I’ve noticed on the Dewalt website you “Atomic” and then “Atomic Compact”.... are they all “compact” and just not indicated? Or are they different lines? Either way, IMO Dewalt just has way too many lines and SKUs (12v, 20v max, 20v max XR, 20v compact, Atomic, Atomic compact, Flexvolt Advantage, Power Detect..... they need to really reevaluate it all! It reminds me of years ago when Steve Jobs came back to Apple and said they had way too many SKUs for the Macs and paired them done.
Yeah Apple definitely keeps things simple and streamlined compared to others. However, with me being in the Engineering field I lean on Lenovo or another type of windows based machine. That's because I need a tailored machine to handle the software I'm running. I think that is what the hope was here, but then it just explodes by many tool brands.

I think if they have a smaller Flexvolt battery you could just use them across the board (besides 12V), but the smallest is the 6ah which is not light. I HATE that they did the power detect and Flexvolt advantage. Power detect is at Lowes and Flexvolt advantage is at Home Depot. That has to be a nightmare to manage for Dewalt from a product and manufacturing standpoint.....let alone the consumer.... Sorry! You got me going on a rant. Hahaha!
@@kohltec9911 Apple keeps it simple now, but back then during Jobs’ forced exile from Apple, Macs were sold in many computer stores and even at Sears (long before the Apple Stores) and there was even a “joint venture” with IBM and Motorola that created the PowerPC which was Apple’s attempt to license the OS - the whole thing was a disaster and after 10 years they pleaded for Jobs to come back,,,, The rest is history of course!

I like Craftsman and knowing they are the sister brand to Dewalt, that is good. I’ve heard their new brushless impact driver is really a Dewalt in red even down to the 3 LED lights around the collet. Unfortunately though Craftsman just doesn’t have a huge brushless line yet and their prices are not much lower than Dewalt. So right now Ryobi is my top choice. They have really upped their game with the brushless HP line and overall no one has the huge array of shop tools, garden tools, heck even cleaning tools that they do, and at real homeowner / DIYer pricing. (And they are a sister company to Milwaukee!) I don’t need “contractor”level tools, but I do want the power when I need it and the durability. Dewalt certainly has the durability, but I have to tell the $99 old Ryobi “blue” table saw I got in 2006 is still going! And saving that extra money on tools means I can upgrade to a new Apple Watch...and iPad...and iPhone!
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
Hi mate, picked up a DCD709 + DCF809 with 3 2Ah batteries for £199 (GBP). Is this worth it? OR should I return it and buy a DCD796 + DCF887? Mainly for home use & for other people. Should be around the same price but will have to be refurbished or used drills.
For at home use for small to medium DIY projects you should be fine with the Atomic DCD709 and DCF809. If you're drive big screws/lags or concrete anchors/tapcons then you'll want the DCF887. Also, if you want to be able to drill into concrete the Atomic DCD709 drill will not be a good fit and you'll want the DCD796 or if you can find a DCD996 (That is what I personally have it would be good. The DCD796 and DCD996 both have hammerdrill modes to them for drilling into masonary/concrete. I hope this helps you! Let me know if you have anymore questions.
@@ji8651 I think you would be fine with the Atomic starting out. If you start having enough volume and work of jobs then you'd be able to justify the upgrade down the road.
@@kohltec9911 Cheers for this video as im getting a combo kit and From Australia and saw this comment which is great as I am tossing up between the 709 and 796 how ever a lot of negatives on the 796 chucks.
I’ve got a Makita XDT14 and I love it, my first Makita Impact (one of the early 18 Volt LXT models) lasted more than 10 years of almost daily use on commercial jobs. Nobody makes better and more reliable impact drivers than Makita.
@@andersonnettleship845 I just picked up an XDT16 to work on on new video amd design some 3D printed mounts. I haven't had much time to tes yet, but seems like high quality so far.
@@kohltec9911 ihave some points on the Milwaukee . First, very fast, especially the last speed, which breaks the screws and destroys the bits. Secand bosch is more stable I guess and reasonable speed they have
I am amazed I have the same driver DeWalt 887 and I have trouble putting in a 2 inch screw! so what am I doing wrong? is it the type of screw head, can you help?
809 is home depot atomic...lowes version of atomic same price kit but it's a 840 and is more powerful then a 887 and twice as strong as the 809 ....dewalts secret release
With no speed selector ,they r all powerful enough, except idiots like to use them for jobs they were not intended for just because they can get an adapter for it
Not a bad idea! I usually just use a 1/4" to 3/8" socket adapter to use a socket. I did check the DCF809 to the DCF890 and they are close in torque. The DCF809 has 1700 in-lbs which converted to roughly 141 ft-lbs. The DCF890 was advertised at 150 ft-lbs of torque. I would imagine it's not going to break lug nuts on a truck, but still handy to have if you are using your regular Impact for something else!
I own an 894 for the big DIY jobs. When I need to get into tight spaces on a vehicle or otherwise I grab my 3/8 809. Also dont discount the impact ready right angle on your 887 (keep it at speed 2) for hard to reach spaces. The 890 is overpriced for such an old tool. Its cheaper to buy an 809 and 3/8 anvil.
Huh i got the 887 and it indeed does not have selectable speed gears. It is literally a black plastic/rubber cover. I winder why. Im in the UK but i dont see why that would make a differance. Its a made in China one not Mexico. Still shouldnt be a differance really. I love dewalt tools but stuff like this is very annoying and this is why theyre drill driver line up is so confusing.
Milwaukee is a good brand, but has never been for me. I also hate the color red.... and trust me I don't base my tools off favorite colors because then I'd have all Metabo/Hitachi so they were green LOL! Milwaukee's hydraulic driver is pretty nice!
@@killengoth1450 your absolutely right, but Dewalt is still an american owned company. Milwaukee tools is owned by Techtronic Industries, a Hong Kong based corporation that manufactures tools for the Milwaukee brand. While your right as to many tools and everything else for that matter is made in china, if i could help it, i’d help an american corporation whenever possible.
@@Htl3648 true, i think both brands are at least assembled and quality tested in the US, id like the help a US company too, but ive seen 2 different chucks sheer off of dewalt 1/2' impacts, big red hasnt had any problems yet.
@James Jones your buddies sound like they are gullible, sounds like haven't actually used any power tool, ive used a lot of difference brands of tools and ive found dewalt to be 1 of the worst brands, cant provide info on real world usage because im to busy returning the tool and buying some thing thats better

Would the DCF809B be power enough for removing lug nuts from a 2004 Ford F-150 ?
I would look for one of the cordless impact wrenches or the highest impact driver out there.
There is other XR models in between these two that are better than the atomic on your video
I have atomic everything it's perfect for anything. If you want more power then use corded
887 now available for £59 in 🇬🇧 bare tool
Who is selling for £59 ?
Take you 809 swap the collet out with a 3/8 anvil and dont look back, well worth it and still cheaper than an overpriced 890.
Not a bad idea! I usually just use a 1/4" to 3/8" socket adapter to use a socket. I did check the DCF809 to the DCF890 and they are close in torque. The DCF809 has 1700 in-lbs which converted to roughly 141 ft-lbs. The DCF890 was advertised at 150 ft-lbs of torque. I would imagine it's not going to break lug nuts on a truck, but still handy to have if you are using your regular Impact for something else!
I own an 894 for the big DIY jobs. When I need to get into tight spaces on a vehicle or otherwise I grab my 3/8 809. Also dont discount the impact ready right angle on your 887 (keep it at speed 2) for hard to reach spaces. The 890 is overpriced for such an old tool. Its cheaper to buy an 809 and 3/8 anvil.
Just get the 850
Huh i got the 887 and it indeed does not have selectable speed gears. It is literally a black plastic/rubber cover. I winder why. Im in the UK but i dont see why that would make a differance. Its a made in China one not Mexico. Still shouldnt be a differance really. I love dewalt tools but stuff like this is very annoying and this is why theyre drill driver line up is so confusing.
887 best
Save your money. Keep the old one.
Ive fucked up then 🤦♂️ got the 809
Or just get milwaukee witch is smaller and alot more powerful
Milwaukee is a good brand, but has never been for me. I also hate the color red.... and trust me I don't base my tools off favorite colors because then I'd have all Metabo/Hitachi so they were green LOL!
Milwaukee's hydraulic driver is pretty nice!
Milwaukee tools are made in china and is now a chinese owned company. Based on that alone i’ve completely abandoned that brand.
@@Htl3648 all companies including dewalt have some products coming from china, or is made from Global material.
@@killengoth1450 your absolutely right, but Dewalt is still an american owned company. Milwaukee tools is owned by Techtronic Industries, a Hong Kong based corporation that manufactures tools for the Milwaukee brand. While your right as to many tools and everything else for that matter is made in china, if i could help it, i’d help an american corporation whenever possible.
@@Htl3648 true, i think both brands are at least assembled and quality tested in the US, id like the help a US company too, but ive seen 2 different chucks sheer off of dewalt 1/2' impacts, big red hasnt had any problems yet.
My 887 is fucked already. Useless tool can't handle hard work avoid avoid aboid
if ur trying top find the best impact drivers why look at dewalt, dewalt is crap, why are they so big and heavy
Tell us what you think are the best impacts
Look in the mirror little Troll Hobbit and wish for a better 2022....most likely you can only afford Hart tool from WalMart
@@kohltec9911 Dewalt DCF887 hands down
@James Jones your buddies sound like they are gullible, sounds like haven't actually used any power tool, ive used a lot of difference brands of tools and ive found dewalt to be 1 of the worst brands, cant provide info on real world usage because im to busy returning the tool and buying some thing thats better
Atomic trash
