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.
This was an exact replacement for the old one that lasted about 10 years. ruclips.net/user/postUgkx7yWIKcrbA9KMHkGSfcgxW2lsjHT6B8Sh The top of my mitigation tube by my roofline was just a 90 elbow which allowed too much debris to fall down into the fan, eventually ruining it. Without this issue, I bet it would have kept running another 10 years. When I replaced this fan, I added an extra elbow joint so the top tube now it does a 180, which should solve that problem. The radon guys around here wanted to charge me a $300 diagnostic fee, then parts/labor (probably close to $600 total). I installed this all by myself in about an hour for the cost of the fan; it would probably be even easier/faster with two people. FYI the manufacturer's warranty greatly differs depending on whether you install it yourself (1 yr warranty) or have a licensed installer do it (10 yrs).
for 2 decades i always said an impact drill oughtta have enough power to take a car tires on and off. which is supposed to be like 100 psi but i think auto mechanics do 150 psi. 2 amp batteries are by far all i need in hvac. sometimes i do lag bolts put probably only need like 90 psi for that. my numbers might be a little off im not exact. so if youre getting 350 psi thats just incredible to me.
I really like my 887, I take good care of it and boy it does my projects and more. Couldn’t be happier
This is the standard for power tool reviews. Thanks my guy
I'm hooked on DeWalt. I have the 885, 887, 890, 894 and 899 I also have the atomic hammer drill. Absolutely love all of them. Constantly keeping an eye out for DeWalt 20v stuff... Can't get enough!!!
A very disrespected 809 has been my full time impact driver for almost 3 years in home remodeling. Every day when I take it out of my toolbox I wonder if it's going to work because it is so busted up. Dropped off ladders hitting every rung, crushed under the brake + pile of garbage for some reason, kicked around and bathed in sheetrock dust during demos. Hell, I recently tied an 18' beam together with it in one go and it didn't die. 6" x 5/16 GRKs, 3 every 18" thru 4 LVLs.
Depleted one 5ah battery on one side and then brought another 5ah to 1 bar on the other side. Around 70% of the way through it did get hot enough to burn your skin. Really thought that would be it for the thing, but nope still seems to work. Noticeably more resistance in all the gears. It could flush like 60% of them without predrilling, slowly, and that would have probably killed it. So I went with 1/4 predriller, mostly to save time but I am a starting to get attached to the little guy.
Doesn't have the power to rival other impacts on the jobsite but the capability is there for all but the biggest stuff. And the size is relevant. If you stick just a bit in the chuck it's short enough to squeeze inside a 9" cabinet and take the hinges off. Can't do that with the xr. And being shorter also makes it more transportable.
Very broad range of performance between the different batteries. Noticeable difference between 5ah and 8ah batteries. I use the 8ah when framing.
Don't ever ask to borrow anything from me!
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! thanks for watching.
Now this is what you call a review... thank you STR !
Just picked up the 809 kit today from Home Depot for $99. I thought that was a reasonable price for this tool. Bought it for DIY auto maintenance at home.
This is a great test! Thank you!
Great in-depth review and testing!
Hi I think you're very informitive one of the things is that you always provide the price of the tools which I find very helpful. However in this one you were calling the XR887 the DCF887 at some point but I understood. Also is the chuck, or anvil on the 887 a 1/4 drive as well?
I noticed you did a review on the atomic combo kit and the impact driver didn’t say atomic on the back only brushless and it wouldent break loose 150 foot pound but in this video it done 350 the model with the atomic writing on the back does it have more power? Thank you
Can you review the dewalt dcf899m1? Curious as to how it performs compared to other half inch impacts.
hi! have you tested the DCF850? I got one and tested on my truck wheels, tightened with torque wrench at 150ft-lbs, but the 850 wont release the lugs. I used the 5AH battery, fully charged.
Great detailed test! Thank you!
Thank you very much.
Good test, thanks! I was surprised to see that my Makita 1/4” drivers had more power than my 3/8” Makita Sub Compact wrench.
We will have to test the Makita drivers soon. Thanks for watching!
Excuse my ignorance. I have seen bits with different colors, e.g yellow, red, green, blue and now black. Is the color a code for the torque you can to the bit apply or is just a manufacturer way of making these bits easier to grip with the finger tips? Thank you all for the answers
I got the 887 and the 809...i use the 809 for screws and fasteners and the 887 more for like paddle bits and my inside pipe cutter stuff like that
What it the best 1/4 drive impact from dewalt now ?
Very nice. I am curious how the 3ah or 4ah 21700 cell batteries would perform. Also, the tool temp differences comparing the 18650 vs 21700 cells. Dewalt tends to run hot or even smoke. I really like you videos. Very detailed and interesting.
Tool temp will be the same tool will consume the same wattage but the battery may run cooler
I'm not a DeWalt guy but if the atomic is used in normal conditions it has plenty of power. As far as batteries , do yourself a favor and beware of marketing and ultra cheap prices because more than likely your going to get the 1.3ah or 1.5ah. Depending on the tool , here we are talking impact drivers.....stay in the 2ah to 5ah battery and u will be a happy camper. Great video in showing differences in battery performance.
great review as always
Thank you! Cheers!
This has to be one of best reviews I have seen
I appreciate it. Thanks for watching.
What 1/4 in to 3/8th adapter was used in this video? Mine keeps breaking but yours is very strong. Thanks
Is your adapter impact rated? Cause if that’s the case you need to buy specifically impact rated bits
Getting close to wrench time, very good and informative..weights were different atomic has to maybe make up with larger motor or something…
Thank you very much for the kind words. Thanks for watching.
How about how many screws the can put in
Tremendo vidio.muchas gracias por la información
Weird thing about the two weights.. the 887 is lighter than my new Dcf 850…. How is the 845?
Atomic is a versatile tool for general use
Great video as always
Glad you enjoyed
I have the atomic driver along with many others but I seem to get all the power I need with a 5ah battery. The 1.5 definitely shorts the power but still works of course
Absolutely agree with you. Love the Atomic Drill and Driver, but the slim 1.5 Ah battery really hinders it. The 5Ah really brings the life out without any drop-off...at least for a long time. Thanks for watching.
@@Shoptoolreviews yes agreed
Can you review the dewalt dcf 894h 1/2in 20v impact wrench.
Lol, with a new 21700 4ah battery lol I bet it’s more capable than the old 5ah.
I think the 809 was over heated when hitting that 350 400 lbs.because you went from 100 to 400 on the same tool. Then the last nut on the model was only used on the 400.
DeWalt, please send this man some 21700 batteries.
We have 21700 batteries.
I did not test the 5ah battery in the 809 only did it with the 887 ??????????????
I own both of them they are both good tools
They are great tools and perform very well. Thanks for watching.
My DCF809 doesn't "impact" anymore, it is now acting like a normal drill. Not happy.
I get that it shows torque but why just do the best with the nuts and massive socket. Personally I think long screws are a much needed test when testing 1/4in. Impacts.
I wonder if the new power stack battery's or 21700 cells would help the dcf809 get better numbers maybe I'm just salty bc hercules did better idk I'll have to see
Why would you not hit the like button? He tries the tools out before we buy them?
Thank you, and I couldn't have said it better myself.
On the series loosening tests, have you ever measured to see if the bolts loosen at all down the line? Like the 5th bolt in line has experienced 4 bolts worth of vibration through the plate which could loosen them a bit.
No, the vibration doesn't affect this. Thanks for watching.
I use them mostly with the 5amp battery
Can't go wrong with that.
887 is heavier thanks to the metal silver tip. It'd heavy duty for serious and constant drops
Same size and weight, less power than the 887 and MINUS the the additional settings for delicate jobs (which for me make all the difference and turns an impact driver, made for heavy construction work - into a versatile driver for all sorts of jobs ) - and this is what the Atomic is..? And the 887 is pretty cheap already, you can find bare tool for as little as £80-90. And in sets and with batteries it commes out even cheaper.
As a buyer - I don't see any point in this Atomic impact driver. I could have understood it if it were smaller, but in this case, on the same battery platform...?
I am left with the same impressions about the batteries by the way - the Dewalt 4.0ah has pretty similar power to the 5.0ah, just an inferior capacity. But having the same weight and size - it is no brainier which is preferable.
Seems like you have a lock on your tools. Thanks for watching.
Yes🙌
Thanks for watching.
@@Shoptoolreviews thanks to you bro, really valued jobs you are doing.
👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for watching.
You should do the 887 vs the m18 gen 3 impact driver.
We will see what we can do. Thanks for watching.
Hmm... It looks like you're doing impact wrench tests on an impact driver. I have the DeWalt 809 atomic driver. I use it for driving screws and bolts and only on light duty for nuts and bolts because that's what a driver is made for, right?
For auto mechanic stuff and larger nuts and bolts I would use my DeWalt impact wrench not my driver.
So I'm unsure why you're testing and impact driver with big giant bolts as if it was an impact wrench not a driver? Maybe I'm just confused.
To test out the torque
I bought the atomic and I returned and grab the 12v Xtreme.
That's not a bad idea. The 12V tools are definitely lighter. Thanks for watching.
Jarco 101 I am torn between the atomic or 709 as itis known here and the 12v extreme/ max. The 12v certainly looks more like the size and weight that I want but was wondering if it had the guts but after seeing your comment looks like it does and would probably be more than adequate for what I need.
Thanks!!!
@@emmarowley1096 I personally like it more... 12v Xtreme smaller and same or even more powerful than atomic in my own opinion.
@@Jarco101 is that just with the impact driver? I can't find any videos regarding the atomic and the 12v combi drill and it's the drill I need.
Thank you for your quick reply.
Kind regards Emma.
@@emmarowley1096 I feel it more powerful.
Only advantage in atomic is if you have the bigger batteries like 5.0 or 8.0 even flexvolt you can use them since they all are 20v.
As I don't have those batteries and I am not planning to put 8lbs extra weight in a small tool which I like because is lite and can fit everywhere... yes I sure go with the Xtreme
That 887 is more capable than the dcf890. If it weren’t for the new batteries And xr impact driver I saw leaked today. (Looks a little more like a cross between Milwaukee impact wrench and driver.). I’d get the 887 And do a anvil 3/8 swap.
How hard do you think it would be to do a anvil swap
@@gamercoolapple1
Apparently it’s super easy to do. Just get a replacement DeWalt 3/8 anvil, And pop it in. Takes 10-15 minutes to do. It will void your warranty though.
Man Cave Tools did it. And I’m sure others have videos showing you how to do it.
@@gamercoolapple1 it isn't hard just check out mancaver tools he does it all ot the time.
We're interested in seeing this released. Thanks for the input.
Life hack, swap the 890 anvil assembly onto the 887 and you have a bad ass custom 3 speed 3/8 impact. Put the 887 anvil on the 890 and pretend it's a brushless 885... That's what I did with mine, they are more useful for me configured like that.... BTW, the 887 and 890 have the same torque rating, the 887 just has a higher rpm range...
It's 18 volt nominal
I just bought the 887 to replace my 886 that has paid for itself 100x over.
That's awesome. It's so great to know that you made the right choice. Thanks for watching.
Idk if impact drivers are even being used when you can just use an impact gun. I bought a Milwaukee 18m tool bundle that included the m18 1/4” impact driver, a hammer drill, and Hacksaw w a 4amp and 2 amp battery and charger for $250 at Home Depot in December.
You got a really great deal. Thanks for watching.
Show!!!!!
...me the money! Thanks for watching.
I don't know what I'm talking about my brain just referenced basic stuff
The more extensions that you put on the more the less talk you're getting out of it
540 nm reversed 🙄🙄🙄 that's blew my mind.
Damn the atomic. If you want a cheap dewalt impact go get the 787. Same size, much better impact driver
If you say so. Thanks for watching.
@@Shoptoolreviews You know that feeling you get when you say something and then after doing some more research you realize that you have totally buried your foot so far in your mouth that you now have a tail. Yea. I researched more and the 787 is not the tool I thought it was. I had thought De Walt had taken the XR off the 886 and labeled it 787. I was very wrong. Both are meh. 99 bucks get the makita or the Milwaukee.
It's not even capable of break the adapter..
Lol. These Husky adapters hold up very well. Most other brands break much sooner. Thanks for watching.
Shouldn't be using something that small to do that type of work to begin with
That's what we said in the video. Thanks for watching.
My E 809 ain't worth a damn
Still ain’t shit compared to Milwaukee. Their driver takes 260ftlbs while rated for half that. Plus the dewalt 12v tools work much better than any 20v
Thanks for watching.
