Do you think the 845 will be more powerful then the 840? Or jus the 840 with modes? Cuz for me honestly idc bout modes i like to just use variable trigger and always in high mode anyways. Even on the flex impact or jus boit any other tool for that matter
Little something im guessing the same IPMS since thats what really seems to help the 840. Ill still prolly end up with it cuz i always have to have the best dewalt lol
If you hold the drivers vertically, then no problem in that corner. Depends on the corner. I think the 850 is designed more for tight spaces then corners, like in between studs or joists that are close together, or any place that's really tight
I think they both have their strong points. I think the 850 would also be better for automotive applications like removing rusted fasteners in tight spots. It does provide more torque than the 840 with only a minimal loss of speed. I'm not even sure why someone would be driving any fasteners directly into a corner much less driving them on a regular basis. And don't tell me that's how you toenail a stud. If you toenail a stud by driving a fastener into the exact corner of the 90 then you're doing it wrong. They are both great. The 840 has the speed on small to medium fasteners but the 850 can sink larger fasteners that the 840 can't. So it all depends on the application what you need most.
I prefer the 850. It gets into places my m12 surge can’t get into. If I need a longer reach I just use a longer bit holder. You can make an impact driver longer but you can’t make it shorter.
I agree with everything you said 840 is a great value! I use it way more than my 850. it is lighter and more powerful and I can get it in to more Spots. Good video thanks!
@@bettinanstevens9259 As far as drivers being used for what they’re meant to be used for…faster is more powerful when it comes to driving. Nobody with common sense buys a driver to use as a nut-buster.
i got 850 ,total agree . could not get joice hanger screws in straight . also can you address the collets . my 850 moves so much it gets virtually useless with an extension .is this the way all dewalt collets are .
The 840 for sure. Ive barely used my 850 since. For me the chunkiness seems to be more of a problem then the length. And the power and feel of the 840 is fantastic. Feels more balanced. O and one other thing you forgot in the beginning of the video to show us the battery charge on the 2 batteries lmao how do we know your not skewing results lol
@@americafirst6016 yea I got the 5.0. It's plenty for the work and repairs I do around the house. When it's not enough I bust out my far more superior harbor freight Bauer drills. 😂Seriously though those red things don't suck

Totally agree Robert. I'm excited for the forthcoming 845 XR, looks like it will have the 840 body with added modes.
That sounds awesome!

@@bossmanz28 it'll be 1825 in.lbs and 3400 RPM versus the 840's 1700 in.lbs and 3200 RPM. So not dramatic, but a step up for sure.

@@bossmanz28 yeah the new one will be 4200 IPM, I actually don't see the spec of the 840 on Dewalt's product page ...

The DCF 840 is my favorite impact to use. It’s snaps quick and was well thought out.
Weighs less than Milwaukee M12 impact drivers and it’s 20v
yeah good choice

Yeah, thanks!
Its faster not more powerful. It would be like saying Bruce Lee is more powerful than Mike Tyson.

@@slickrick8046 I do. That's exactly why Im leaning toward the 850, for a nut buster. I guess I don't have common sense. Poor me.
@@bettinanstevens9259
I guess you don’t. If you did you would get an impact wrench.
Welcome to the 840 club stay for a while
At the moment, I got the 850 for power and the m12 fuel impact (not the new one unfortunately) for smallness.
both good choices!
Newbie here. Why do you guys have two impact drivers. Wouldn’t just one do the same job?
On corners just flip the tool vertical. Either upright or upside down.
Problem solved.
All will have that issue.

Hah good point
Why would you hold the drill sideways inside a corner. Gangster grip?
Lol sometimes the bottom of the cabinet is in the way
I was wondering the same thing. Why not rotate the tool 90°? I guess now we know, it's because of the cabinet bottom.
I weighed the 850 too against the 887 the 850 is slightly heavier than the 887 also
Told you so
Yeah lol
Some corners not all. Try working with the 840 in tight spaces. 850 gets most if not all of the jobs done 840 doesn't. My personal experience.
the 850 is a better built tool too but they should angle these impact more
840 all day period
Well thought out well reasoned.
Thanks!
So it wasn’t the bong hit ? 😆 I’m not even smoking so I don’t know why I brought that up hehe
@@2hotscottpro haha
Your first point of the corner you would just turn the drill battery facing up 🤦♂️
Not always, but yeah.
850 is the best
thats why i got the 12 version.
12v version is a good ass tool. Slap a 3.0 or or 5.0 and it’s an amazing well balanced tool
