#Dewalt 20v brushless hammer drill impact driver combo upgrade

Both are durably constructed and easy to handle.

It includes the 20V MAX* XR Brushless 1/4" 3-Speed Impact Driver and 20V MAX* XR Lithium Ion Brushless 3-Speed Hammerdrill. Users who want the latest and greatest brushless design might be better served by Dewalt’s DCF895, Milwaukee’s M18 Fuel, or Makita’s LXDT06 impact drivers, but should be prepared to spend more for them.Take on a multitude of task and projects with this 20V 2-Tool MAX Lithium-Ion Combo Kit (DCK299M2) from Dewalt. If budget is a factor, the new DCF886 is a great option for users who already bought into Dewalt’s 20V Max platform and are looking for a no-frills brushless impact. After testing models with electronic torque and speed control settings, I don’t want to ever go back to using ones without such a feature. Personally, I am quite fond of the bells and whistles that this impact driver lacks. It seems to me that the DCF886 is going be the economical choice for those who want a brushless impact without all the bells and whistles. Within the Dewalt 20V Max family, the DCF885 is still a great impact driver, despite its only having a brushed motor the DCF895 offers the most features, if you can adjust to the unconventional bit holder release design and the new DCF886 falls in between the two, far closer to the DCF885 than the DCF895. Between those two models the DCF886 likely delivers greater runtime (Dewalt claims “up to 57% more”), especially when paired with one of the new higher capacity battery packs. What I expect is for the DCF886 to slowly replace the similarly designed DCF885, which has a brushed motor. While the new model doesn’t quite match up to Dewalt’s “premium” brushless impact driver, that doesn’t mean it’s not a sufficiently capable model.

Users that want Dewalt’s premium model will have to buy the individual tools or kits separately. There will be two new combo kits bundling this impact with the new brushless hammer drill (DCK286D2) and drill driver (DCK281D2). This is a disappointment, but it makes it clear where the DCF886 stands in Dewalt’s lineup. The new model does not feature the electronic and speed adjustment found on the DCF895 or other brands’ leading impact driver models. Milwaukee’s M18 Fuel impact driver is slightly more powerful, with a 1600 in-lbs rating. This is about average for an 18V/20V Max impact driver, with the DCF886 matching the power of Makita’s leading brushless model. The DCF886 tops out at 1500 in-lbs, which is respectably high and the same as for Dewalt’s other brushless model. Right now it looks like Makita’s LXDT06 “quick shifting” brushless impact driver, with a length of 5-1/8″, is the shortest brushless impact driver around. Both designs are incredibly compact, but there might be times when that extra 1/4″ gets in the way. The new DCF886 has a 5.55″ front-to-back length, which is quite compact, but the DCF895 is 5.25″ long. Dewalt’s other brushless impact and original brushed motor impact. The new impact driver has been given Dewalt’s “XR” branding, which has also been applied to their other recent brushless drills, as well as repackaged cordless tool kits that include either of the new high capacity batteries.

It instead looks to be a direct upgrade to the similarly designed DCF885, Dewalt’s original 20V Max brushed motor impact driver. It is important to note that the DCF886 is NOT an upgrade to the DCF895, as it lacks several key features. The new Dewalt 20V Max XR brushless drill and driver trio. Meet the Competition: Milwaukee M18, Bosch Hybrid Impactor, Bosch Impactor, Makita LXDT06 “Quick Shift”Īs someone who found the DCF895’s bit holder to be somewhat harder to use than the one-touch bit holders found on Dewalt’s brushed motor impacts, I welcome the new design.
