Review for DEWALT DCF887 XR Brushless 3-Speed Impact Driver by Centrica
30th May 2023

I’m now on my second one of these. After 3 years of almost being used everyday the chuck mechanism broke so I got another as I find them a nice size and they are strong. I like the lights on the from t for when your in a dark area. Dewalt is my go to range for power tools. I would highly recommend.

Been very swayed by the quality of De Walt now. Given these drills some real mistreatment but they still perform excellently. Slightly slow to charge but hold the charge well for days. Now let's just see De Walt bring out some awesome extras like Radio and Kettle. (Decent ones!) Also its great having the T Stak element to their storage boxes. Much easier than the old bosch ones to stack and get apart!

I have always used Dewalt power tools. I have over 20 power tools. My work requires my tools are reliable and do the job time and time again.
If I have one criticism of the Dewalt power tool range is that they need to bring out a multi charge pack. Like what Milwaukee have.

Paired with 2AH battery it is very light and compact and will easily get you through small jobs. With 5AH batteries I will last for quite a long long time drilling joist with proper accessories.

I recently bought one of these to replace my Stanley Fatmax impact driver. I purchased the DeWalt because I have a big collection of 18v XR tools now and it made sense to stay on the same battery platform. As always DeWalt didn’t let me down. You’ve got great control over different speed settings. The torque is unbelievable for such a small tool. The moulding and ergonomics of this tool is fantastic. I love it and would highly recommend one if you’re looking to purchase or replaced an impact driver.

Recently bought a impact driver and cordless drill set at a bargain £160 it also came in a thought system 2.0 tstack case what alone cost £30.

At the price the drill is clearly bot a top end drill but have had no problem drilling into stone using it so really can’t complain as for the impact driver you wouldn’t even know it was from the budget line. The power is out of this world. So much so that I used the wrong sized raw plug and it actually broke the head of the screw clean off. Impressed

I’ve got two of these. One is over 4 years old and get daily use. Very capable of driving long screws at high torque. As others have said will get hit with sustained use but doesn’t seem to done it any harm. Also useful with square drive bit as a light duty impact wrench for nuts. I wouldn’t recommend it for that use all the time but really handy if you’ve a lot of coach bolts to spin nuts on for instance. LED workpiece lights work well.

Nice little unit to use for repetitive drilling or when you need a combi drill and fixings too. Build quality feels robust like the other Dewalt tools I have. Cost wise I managed to pick this unit up for £50 from screwfix in the sales. Only negative is it doesn't come with a magnetic strip for the side of the impact driver or a belt clip like the combi drill or hammer drill.

Love this impact driver, had a few now over the years, the latest I have is the 3 speed version, handy to be able to slow it down when needed. Good, compact size, handy belt clip included on 1 side and a magnetic bit holder on the other. Pair it up with a 5ah battery and you're covered all day

Seems pretty proof.
Done a fair amount with it and it keeps going. Happily drive 300mm decking helical metal through sleepers, loosen wheel bolts and the variable power switch means you can use it on more delicate applications.
Great light with it too.

Having started my dewalt collection with a combi drill, I then added this impact driver. Nice and comfortable in the hand and makes light work of screwing/unscrewing screws of all sizes, saves me loads of times every day. Came with 2x 5.0Ah batteries which last for ages, and all for £179 from Toolstation. Recommended!

As a new comer to the trades, I wanted something a bit more robust for an impact driver than my other “DIY” one I used to have. I got the kit that toolstation had with the impact, combi and 3x5ah batts. What a kit. I used the impact driver to remove a gate hinge and clasp abs it was not an issue for it. I love the leds on it and the 3 power settings. Never had that on my other impact tool.

It feels nicely weighted and ergonomical. Time will tell how robust it is but I’m building a fence and workshop soon and this will test the tool.

Great driver, has never failed me and is probably the most used tool in my kit. It will happily drive in coach bolts, long screws into oak framing. Almost always on speed 3, way faster than its predecessor. The only downside is the lowest speed and its gentle drive is a waste of time and never gets used. Much quicker to just go easy on the trigger on a higher speed.

I owned the predecessor to this for a good few years until it died. i was very happy with it and was going to buy the same again, until i saw this. i purchased it about 6 months ago and it is great, it has more power than the last and i really like the variable trigger. im not sure if there is a point to the different speed settings as the variable trigger does the same job. but if your trigger happy and just want to point and fire then i guess it would suit you. very happy, comfortable deign, sturdy and lightweight.

I’ve had two of these impact drivers. The first was taken out of the back of my van among other things by some thief! It was this impact that I missed the most. You never realise how much you use a single tool until it’s gone. It truly is a great impact driver and the screwdriver setting really does help when you don’t need full power. Now it never leaves my side, it’s here with me now as I type this.

They can use a wide range of Dewalt batteries. Definitely value for money.
The LED light is great if you're working in a cupboard or other dark place.

(Already have a milwaukee.) Had it on a wish list for ages but didnt get round to buying it. Got it for a present which they had for like 6months but I didnt see them. I wish I had seen them sooner!!

Safe to say, I have not used my Milwaukee since.

Apart from power, most noticeable difference is the trigger. Being specifically responsive to your touch. I was concerned that as it has immensely strong power ability, it was going to ruin every screw I drove in on light jobs like picture hanging or hinge tightening on kitchen cabinets.... but the incredible trigger means it will go to exactly how you want it. Havent rounded a screw head yet!!!

An absolute winner!!

Had my original Dewalt impact stolen off the van so recently upgraded to this model. What a difference!! Excellent bit of kit , copes with anything thrown at it. Makes me wonder how I’ve managed all this time without it. Dewalt tools have never let me down and this one is no exception

Hi guys, it's Matt here from Tools2trust. As an apprentice I've had plenty of use with this smart, sleek and sexy impact driver ! Not only can you boast to all your workmates that you're rocking a dewalt impact but you also have a tools manufactured to be sturdy, durable and solid to feel and hold. With a belt clip and long battery life it really is a must have (especially on site). I found that it was easy to use however it didn't have any extra features that made it stand out massively from the makita impact. So my advice is: if you can find them new for a good price then it's a no brainer on this amazingly powerful impact. However if it's breaking the bank it may be worth checking out other brands makita and hitachi !

Asked on 20th May 2021 by TH Floors & Doors

Should I get the DeWalt impact driver or a Milwaukee? Any other brands anyone would reckon? I've got a few DeWalt batteries knocking about which is why I'm tempted for the DeWalt to save a bit of cash on the batts

Answered on 20th May 2021 by Fraser Contracts

These impact drivers are good value for the money if you already have batteries and charger then just buy the bare item will be more cost effective.

Answered on 20th May 2021 by Vital Plumbers Ltd

I’ve never had any issues with my Dewalt impact driver always gets the job done and like you I went for Dewalt as I already had batteries

Answered on 20th May 2021 by Get Home Improvements

I’ve used dewalt, makita and Milwaukee tools. I chose to go with dewalt as it felt the better range of tools for my handyman business. My neighbours a plumber and uses Milwaukee as they do tools for his range. I personally think dewalts a great range and I love the impact gun. If you already have the batts, then it’s cheaper to go with the brand with the batts. Saves on a lot of money.

Answered on 20th May 2021 by Jake Electrical Services Ltd

No issues with my dewalt. Makes sense if you've got batteries etc sitting about.

Answered on 20th May 2021 by Michael

Power is good on dewalt, we used a lot on site only issue was the the hex chuck started to loosen up on some of them. I have my own makita and thst has been A1 no issues had it 8 or 9 years power not as good but good enough for 1st and 2nd fix

Answered on 20th May 2021 by Spud the Sparky

Had my dewalt for over a year and not had any problems, tried my colleagues milwaukee and its pretty much the same tool just a different colour.

Answered on 20th May 2021 by Luxe Windows & Building Ltd

If you have the batteries it’s a no brainer. Use mine every day

Answered on 20th May 2021 by MP ELECTRICAL

As others have said if you’ve got batteries it makes sense to go dewalt. I would recommend the drivers I think they’re cracking bits of kit

Answered on 23rd May 2021 by MET Services

My DeWalt is faultless! At first I thought the 1st torque selection was a waste of space but subsequently found it quite useful on some very small screws. Very powerful and always up to the job.

Answered on 25th May 2021 by Define Interiors And Flooring

Dewalt hard wearing

Answered on 3rd June 2021 by Holmes Construction

I'm my opinion, it's cheaper to stick to the De Walt platform your on since you have the batteries. So having a charger and batteries already means you can buy the bare unit or if you got a deal on a impact drill set you'd have the extra charger and batteries you'd never run out.
