- Full review of DeWalt XR Impact Driver DCF887 and battery with charger. I show you the Features and benefits as well as some of the downsides to this amazing drill. Afterwards we do several tests of the drill’s power and sensitivity of the sensors in the home and working on the car. This drill has 20 - 150 foot pounds of torque and can handle all light to medium level jobs. It even gets into the range of heavy jobs with a lug nut removal test! This is one of my favorite drills and a great investment for car and home repairs. However, watch this video first before buying the drill to know if it’s right for you! Links to the tool alone and a kit on amazon are below. Let me know what you think!

yikes, when putting lug nuts back on you should finger thread first to avoid cross threading.
Really good review. Went through literally every practical home use thing. Good work
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing Comprehensive video. Thanks from UK.
Great video my wife has bought me one for Christmas, can’t wait to get it, I should be laying some decking before our Christmas dinner.
Just bought one. Nice
video, very informative. Thank you!
Have fun! I love this drill =)
Nice review, thanks! Always thought about getting an impact and saw this one on sale. Pulled the trigger on it after your review 😂🙋🏻♀️Anna
Glad I could help! I found this to be a very versatile and useful drill. I still use it today and am very happy with it.
Great video straight to the point I just ordered from Amazon
Really good review. Thank you.,
If you really need to get into those tight areas, I suggest you get yourself a right-angle adapter. Make sure it is rated for an impact driver though. If you want a good right-angle adapter, I would recommend the Dewalt DWARA100 Right-angle Adapter as it is rated for an impact driver.
I just bought the hammer drill and impact drive (DCF887) and i am so excited because i bought it specialy for my lug nuts which is going to save some time!!!
If you buying specially for lug nuts...You need an impact wrench
If you guys get one, try to get the latest, the Type 3 which has improvements over the first two. Which type is usually stated below the Model # on the tool itself, not the box. This applies to many of DeWalt's tools.
I just bought this impact. Great video
I'm glad the video helped! This drill is my favorite to use 👍
How much did you pay I'm thinking about getting this one too
*Excelente kit **MyBest.Tools** suficiente mente potente y ligero. la luz incorporada en el taladro es muy superior a versiones anteriores que se encuentra cerca del broquero.*
I have the 887 and have never had any grief with it. Using the smaller batteries as you are, I doubt you would ever damage the impact because they simply cannot deliver enough sustained current to push the tool over the edge. I use all 5ah batteries as Vince did when he smoked the 887 and they will produce enough sustained current to eventually cause a failure.
I like vcg's channel but did you notice that the dcf887 would cut off and they would just chabge the battery and eventually the 887 died? It was probably protecting itself and was reset by removing the battery
Thank God, you made a positive review video about the Dewalt DCF-887 impact driver, according to VCG Constructions, they claim, these drills and impact drivers are no good. I used mine to remove lug nuts off of my 2008 Tahoe when it got a flat, with the 2 AH battery, and it performed flawlessly, and with no issues!! Great video, but you should have used the longer Philips bit to remove the screws on the door latch plate..
Yeah, that VCG video is a bit extreme. That’s more so for hardcore industrial/construction work. I’ve had mine for quite some time and have done a ton of home/automotive jobs with it with zero problems and love the sensor it uses. Very easy. Haha true on the bit! Unfortunately I bought the Dewalt bit set after this video and used that tiny bit. Another good investment 👍
Awesome!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
THANKS
Glad you liked the video Sang!
Thank you for the review. I am having a combi drill that I have no issue of drilling but when undoing or driving screws I always have issues. For example, if I try to undo a screw on my the metal sheets on my carport I am struggling. I had to press so hard to the back of the drill to do the job; otherwise the philip head just being pushed out of the screw and tripping the screw. Does it sound like I need this compact driver?
Cheers
How many ft lbs of torque does your current drill have? If you need more power this could fix your issue.
Just got mine used.
Planning to get one also for automotive use. Very nice review. Hope this model will last. How's ypurs since you posted this video?
I bought a used one and it’s still running strong!
Can i use flex volt battery with these?
Thank you so much for the video I have the atomic version of that. I'm just curious if the atomic can do just as well as the XR version. I think when I get home I'm going to try that and see what I can do with my impact Wrench.
How did the atomic do? I think that has quite a bit of power too.
@@savorwithdmurph1113 I had a project, just a couple of days ago where I had to sister a 4X6 beam to the house. I had to use a spade bit to drill the hole and also for counter-sinking my lag bolt. My DeWalt Atomic drill driver blew me away! It took me about 1/2 an hour to get the job done. I'm so impressed with this tool.
Just because it's the least of the bunch doesn't mean it can't perform...
Go see reviews of the atomic version, it's pathetic, the atomic lines compare to the good old 12v models, I am not joking, I've owned both, the XR brushless tho, is clearly 300% better in term of raw power, for home owners, the atomic line is great, but for contractor it sucks.
Here's for you the reason why I am saying this th-cam.com/video/NjQ8VX0e190/w-d-xo.html
Did you see the VCG Construction channel's test of the DCF887 and the problems they encountered? (It smokes in the lag bolts test)
I just checked out the video. Very interesting. Looks like it failed 3 times on the lag bolt test. Thanks for sharing.

I don't do that kind of work so I haven't had any issues and I've used my DCF887 quite a bit. It has saved me hours in maintenance time on the automotive jobs I perform. The sensor, lights, and 3 speeds makes it great for working on the car. The alternate model would probably be more likely to strip a bolt since it doesn't have the same torque categories and offers only 1 range.
DMurph & Pri-Pri Thanks for your honest in depth review! I was trying to decide between this driver and the new Gen 3 Milwaukee 2853 driver. The Milwaukee is also nice and a little shorter in dimensions and have 4 speeds (self tapping screw mode) and no wobble on the chuck. But I will say the Dewalt 3x lights are much better.
Btw, just an FYI, someone stole your video: th-cam.com/video/UnmBwOcPjFU/w-d-xo.html
You might want to report this to TH-cam and file a complaint.
They are bias to there favored brands I've use this drill on 4 inch lag bots put in like 45 and no smoke!!!
They are Milwaukee fan boys
Hey I'm from tamilnadu and i would like to become a diy craftsman, so pleas give me suggestions to buy power tools for regarding work. Makita or dewalt which one would best for me, whether price wise and performance wise?
I drilled into freshly cut tree stump just now w the 887 and the 5 amp battery. No smoke nothing. With a Bosch paddle bit. 7/8". If your smokes. It maybe the factory lube being burned off. My firearms do the same, Duh.
Thank you for sharing your test with us spookerr! This is a great drill and it’s good to know it can perform the tougher jobs.
Just picked up tool+ charger+3amp battery for $87 at Lowe's. That's a gr8 deal.
Old Hickory how did you get it for $87?
@@guns8527 found a deal at lowe's. For 79.99+tax still available.
My Lowe’s has the bare tool at $139 and you get the 3 amp battery and charger for free. I wonder why they are different? Did yours say $139 and it rang up at $87 ? Where is the Lowe’s you got yours?
@@guns8527 I did price match with fastnersinc.net onine
That's how you mess up your wheel stud people! You should put the lug nuts back onto the studs by hand tightening first with your fingers to make sure you are not cross threading.
Yours is very clean for auto work 🤣, but I have this too pretty good👍
😅 I demoed it after owning for a few weeks. It's a bit greasy now.
I just got one and would rather have a on off switch for the lights. They stay on way too long after you stop using it and runs the Battery down faster.
Nah it’s fine, with a 5amph battery it will last all day
Do u still have this driver and is it still working?
Yes, it still works well. One of my favorite tools!
Dude cool video however, please buy a tie clip mic. In that garage your audio is really reverberant. Also just a suggestion but learn how to white balance your camera.
Glad you liked the video and thank you for the tips Bradley. This video was shot on my Iphone 6 plus. Good image quality but the audio and lighting not so much.
Have a look at software called FilmicPro, it’s quite inexpensive and you can set white balance.
I understand it is a driver but Can it be ever used or convert to a drill?
Yes, you can purchase a drill bit set that is made for the driver. This is an example of one dewalt made.

@@savorwithdmurph1113 thank you.
I own the exact same model, but my experience has been worse: Even with the large 6 AH battery, mine has NOT been able to break loose lug nuts, and that has been a big disappointment to me. I wonder if I got a lemon? I suppose it is possible that some tire shop may have way overtightened them. I should do more testing to confirm. However, the 115 ft. lbs. that you quoted sounds like a lot to me. I typically torque mine to 90 - 100 ft. lbs. Anyway, thanks for the video! The lug nut test was exactly what I wanted to see.
Right tools for the right job old man
1) Tyre shops off the street DO often overtighten with air wrenches…and seldom use a torque wrench setting 2) This tool is an Impact DRIVER for screws and small bolts, not a 1/2” drive Impact Wrench (which can be 4 or 5 times stronger). It CAN do some wheel bolts, but it is not designed specifically to do that like a wrench.
You should never put lug nuts back with a driver/wrench. Dont you know about cross tread
@The Last Guy I use the impact driver to put the lug nuts on and then tighten them to speck with a torque wrench. This process for the most part keeps me safe from cross threading. This was a demo to show the power of the impact driver.
@@savorwithdmurph1113 its not about tighting the nuts. Its about not using the impact to put em on initially. Instead should put the lugs with your hand . Then use the impact
Pickle Rick I think he may have gotten it backwards. Yes, def put on by hand until tight. Then finish with impact wrench.
youre supposed to thread by hand a couple turns to prevent cross threading, then use impact, then use torque wrench.
These are not made to loosen lug nuts

It's for screws etc, if you want to do nuts and bolts you need to use an impact wrench, big difference.
Big bolts. It works great on all the little bolts/nuts and has sped up maintenance/repairs considerably.
@@savorwithdmurph1113 I'm sure it has but it's still meant for driving screws due to the way it hammers and turns, the impact wrench has more torque and twists nuts the way they are meant to be driven.
A hammer drill would potentially creat an issue as it hammers screws/bolts forward. An impact driver hammers with the rotation so it won’t cause issues with pulling nuts and bolts, especially ones that don’t max out the torque. Yes, an impact wrench is the best to use for nuts/bolts but for those looking for a versatile tool (myself) an impact driver isn’t a bad choice.
@@savorwithdmurph1113 No one mentioned a hammer drill. The impact driver impacts both forward and in rotation, similar to a hammer drill but more on rotation than that does. An impact wrench goes in rotation only. Close but no cigar.
Your doing it all wrong on speed 1 keep the trigger pressed then it will slowly impact till you get it flush!
Hey Mario! Thank you for the tip 👍
I think you mean "you're"
🤔. The 887 isn’t really made to do auto work. “ bolts “. It’s a compact impact driver. They make a impact gun. Had a bigger anvil plus motor is bigger. You run high torque on 887 a lot it will burn up 887 is for driving small to medium fasteners. They make full size Impact drivers better suited to bigger fasteners
Dcf899
@@silversurfer1472 model doesn’t matter it’s a impact “driver”. They make impact “guns” and you don’t need a socket attachment they are built on the gun I own 2 that are made to do this type of work. The anvil inside is larger made to take the larger torque loads
he is liar he always push his other hand on drill i tested on my car it didnot open 80 nut lug my car wheel . he does this to buy it from amazon
Hey man, I just put the drill to my lug nuts and they came off when tightened to 100 ft/lbs. The drill is speced to deliver that much power. That’s at the upper level of its operating power so probably not a great idea to use this specifically for that. Just a demo of power. Calm down...
