    I’m glad this looks like it turned out to be a solid choice. I kind of just stumbled upon the combo kit and didn’t have an impact driver at all and decided to pick it up.

    Been using my 850 every day two weeks from now and I have no regrets at all. 887 been on my tool box since a went to my local depot and bought the new atomic. I even test it against my 887 and it really performed really well beating the XR in almost every test. I’m a drywall framer

    I freaking love my dcf850. It replaced my dcf787, it wasn’t powerful enough for driving these 6 inch Simpson truess screws. I had to use my dcd999 to get it done fast but I was overwhelmed by the weight and after lifting sheets of osb to the roof the last thing I want to do is work with a heavy drill overhead. It’s so small I can throw it in my diamondback bags.

    I’m a HVAC guy and i’ve used my 809 for about 3 years every day and i’ve dropped it a couple times once off a scissor lift from 30 feet and it still worked fine. All it does is take our 1/4 5/16 3/8 head screws.

    I do love the small size of the Dewalt 850 and the power, But I will sacrifice power etc to precision and that’s why I am a huge fan of the Makita XDT16 it’s also compact as-well. I just prefer it because of the different modes you can place that tool in with the touch pad to allow the tool to be more precise in delicate operations.

  • @Fictitious_Character
    @Fictitious_Character 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    New 850 looks pretty good and performed well too. I'll be interested to see if they do a new XR compact impact driver. Either way I currently have enough drivers so no reason to rush out for a 850 even with the awesome size.

    This was great. I have the 1st gen Atomic impact and drill. While the new one is a little better, it isn't quite enough to get me to upgrade (yet). The Atomic is still a huge upgrade from the Black and Decker stuff I had before. #beltsandboxes

    I’m in the service business and use mine daily, I have a lot of dewalt tools and my nail guns are now cordless. I use to get the cheap atomic combos back in the day and when the xr came out I purchased it and it rocked so I’ve stuck with them ever since then, I will say I’ve had to replace my impact driver twice due to the power surge issues. The drill driver has been a beast and fine. I’m going to get a new atomic just because it looks cool and seems legit.

  • @praghakahnful

    And a 5yr old Ryobi brushless impact driver. I was recently considering “upgrading” my driver to a dewalt.
    But shocked to discover every model of dewalt I can find has a lower torque rating then my 2000 in-lbs ryobi. 😮

    • @spikester
      @spikester ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@b-2466 I see this also, new tools like the low-range DCF923 impact wrench now have the nice push button speed/lamp controls like its 2 bigger brothers but bears the atomic label. It no longer means a cut down version of the full XR tool anymore, but a full featured modern compact tool, for example the newer compact 1 3/4" bandsaw also has the atomic label yet its a full quality tradesmen tool for the conduit jockeys. Overall it makes the brand less confusing now knowing you aren't getting a 'cut down' version of the tool anymore just because it bears the atomic name like when the lineup was first introduced. Cheers.

    Two things detract me from that impact. The fact that the speed bore fell out meaning it might have a bit retention pin issue similar to that of the older m18 gen 3 fuel and the fact that it does not have the new selector mode dial that the impact wrenches do... like why couldn't they just put some effort in to incorporate that into this to?

    After years of faultless use of Makita battery tools I decided to try DeWalt XR It started when the drill in the kit had NO SECOND SPEED GEAR FITTED, after getting a new kit, my 18v drill put out lots of smoke when drilling a hole in steel with a drill my Makita drill would have had for breakfast. It was repaired under warranty but I haven't trusted it yet, after 3 months the impact driver bit retainer broke, it was replaced and lasted 4 months then broke. The angle grinder Still works but the detent on the tool lock spat the dummy (pacifier to merikans)
    I will NEVER BUY A DEWALT TOOL EVER AGAIN. PERIOD.
