![]() You aren’t sacrificing power, the available space in tight spots is increased, comfortability is fantastic, and the durability is top notch. If you are torn between the two choices, without a doubt go with the 850. With the included 5Ah battery in this kit, it was just as forceful, if not moreso, than the 887. This was not the case for myself, however. Prior to owning the 850, I had read a couple reviews stating that the 887 did a better job with certain screws (headlok, deck, etc.). In pictures, it might not seem like that big of a deal to some but when space is needed, it’s a fantastic option! The 850 feels much more balanced due to its significantly shorter design. When you hold the 850, it feels much less awkward compared to the 887. (3 speed, 0-3800 impacts per minute, 20V) This kit comes with the ¼” impact driver, 5Ah battery, charger, toolbag, and belt clip.įor me, as a DIYer, it’s all about the comfort and long-term use. The DCF850 is a step-up compared to the DCF887 even though they have the same specs. This kit also includes all the essentials to get started right away. Excellent build quality, power, and comfort. If this would be your first impact driver then look no further. ~ Not worth the upgrade if you don’t need the driver’s space saving design. ~ Fantastic kit - perfect for DIYers or professionals alike. ![]() Many users even said the tools were worth more than what they spent.Pros: And no one seemed displeased at the affordable price they paid. A common comment was that the batteries lasted far longer than expected with Atomic tools. Some reported satisfaction with the power of the Atomic line against the XR line. Many people expressed their surprise at how light and compact the tools were once they used them. People with experience with tools in both lineups seemed to love the smaller size of the new Atomic tools. So, we searched the internet, reading through forums, reviews, and comments to figure out what real-world users thought after using these tools.Īcross the board, users were mostly pleased with tools from both lineups. But there are many opinions out there, and these tools have been used by many people. We’ve done our best to offer a fair comparison of these two tool lines. Once again, the DCF809 Atomic impact driver beats both of these models, weighing in at a mere 2.1 pounds without the battery. In the XR line, the two impact drivers we’re comparing against the Atomic model are the DCF885 and the DCF887, both of which weigh in at 2.65 pounds with no battery installed. Overall, the Atomic line offers some of the most affordable power tools that are available from DeWalt right now. The DCF887 is a much higher-end model from the XR family that outprices both of the other models we mentioned, and while it did offer more power than the Atomic impact driver, the Atomic was still smaller. Still, the XR line does offer more powerful options if power is the most important factor for you.ĭespite being far more powerful and compact than the DCF885 XR impact driver, the DCF809 is actually more affordable, though only by a small margin. ![]() It’s slightly outperformed by the DCF887 but manages far more power than the DCF885. So, the Atomic isn’t the most powerful of the bunch, but it does put up respectable numbers. At the higher end of the XR range, the DCF887 slightly outperforms the Atomic model with 1,825 inch-pounds maximum torque and a peak of 3,600 impacts per minute. The DCF885 tops out at 1,400 inch-pounds maximum torque but manages the same 3,200 impacts per minute. Compared to the DCF885, the Atomic is far more powerful. The Atomic DCF809 impact driver is rated at 1,700 inch-pounds of torque and can produce a peak of 3,200 impacts per minute. Let’s keep comparing the same impact drivers. Even the DCF887, DeWalt’s flagship and more expensive impact driver, measures 0.2 inches longer than the Atomic model at 5.3 inches. The DCF885B, one of DeWalt’s most popular and affordable impact drivers, measures 5.55 inches in length, compared to the 5.1-inch length of the DCF809 Atomic impact driver. ![]()
