We’ll provide more than 500 pieces of new content this year absolutely free for our readers-including objective evaluations of individual tools and products. We work with more than two dozen professional contractors around the United States who review products for us on real job sites and consult with us on testing methods, categories, and weighting. ![]() We consult with innovators in the technology and design of tools to gain a broader grasp of where these products fit and how they work. Our team will put our hands on hundreds of additional tools at media events and trade shows throughout the year. Our Pro reviewers work in the trades and have the skills and experience to know whether tools can perform well in the field.Įach year, we bring in and review more than 250 individual products. We’ve been in business since 2008 covering tools, writing reviews, and reporting on industry news in the construction, automotive, and lawn care industries. It’s all about giving you a legitimate recommendation and our honest opinion of each product. We won’t recommend anything unless we’d actually use it ourselves and we don’t really care who the primary retailer is. Why You Can Trust Pro Tool ReviewsĮver check out a “review” site and you can’t tell if they actually tested the tools or if they’re just “recommending” the Amazon top sellers? That’s not us. That’s how we give each impact driver a value rating. Regardless, it’s the sum of what you get compared to the price you pay that determines the value for you. The value a tool offers will be different for everyone depending on what features, performance, and price you prioritize the most. That includes having a brushless motor, the number of speed settings, app-based controls, LED light design, bit insertion/ejection, and more. When we look at the feature set to help determine the best impact driver, we’re looking for features that have tangible benefits. Sales 101 will teach you that every feature must have a benefit. Since someone with small hands tends to prefer a different style than someone with large hands, the handle size doesn’t play a part in our scoring. We look at how the tool fits in your hand along with how comfortable and secure the rubber overmold is. While we don’t come across many tools that have a terrible grip, some are better than others. This 12V impact driver rocks and you can get the kit for just $119! In terms of power-maximum torque skyrockets to 1450 in-lbs using a 2.0Ah battery pack. The top speed also jumps to 2850 RPM and you get three electronic speed modes including High, Low, and Precision Drive assist. The brushless DCF801 drops a full 1.2 inches off the head length of the prior model, shrinking it to just a hair over 5 inches. In our testing, however, the DeWalt DCF801 does an admirable job accomplishing 80% or more of what you expect from a full-size impact driver. With 60V FlexVolt tools supplementing higher power for their 20V Max cordless tools, smaller DeWalt 12V tools often get overlooked. It also serves as a much-requested brushless upgrade for the company’s dated DeWalt DCF815 12V impact driver. If you really want the lightest-possible experience, however, the DeWalt DCF801 does the trick. DeWalt has a rather shallow 12V line of tools. We’ll start with the DeWalt 12 Volt impact driver review we completed recently. Prices range from $149 to $319.įor compactness, you have two options. Our best DeWalt impact driver comes as a bare tool and in several kits. In our tests, the brushless DeWalt DCF887 impact driver required 2,237 in-lbs from our Gearwrench flex-head torque wrench to loosen its fastening efforts and broke 3,000 in-lbs on our pre-torqued bolts.ģ,000 in-lbs equates to 250 ft-lbs-the same kind of power we see in compact impact wrenches. On paper, it specs out to 1825 in-lbs of torque. As a DeWalt user, the only decision is whether you want the Tool Connect features available in the DCF888. Instead, they seem content knowing they have an excellent impact driver. DeWalt’s product team doesn’t necessarily chase the numbers that other brands push for. When we look over this tool, nothing stands out and says “fix this”. In our testing, the DeWalt DCF887 impact driver stayed in the top half for performance, design, and value. Why? It’s “last year’s model”-and that means discounts! In our opinion, however, we’d call the DCF887 the best value DeWalt brushless impact driver. If you want the most feature-rich DeWalt impact driver, you go for the Dewalt DCF888 with Tool Connect. ![]()
