Brushless motors can deliver more power than similar-sized brushed motors, and as such, the DCF887 has a higher no-loaded speed of 3,250 RPM (versus 2,800 RPM), a higher maximum torque of 1825 IN-LBS (versus 1400 LBS), and it is capable of delivering a higher number of impacts per minute (0-3,800 IPM) than the DCF885 (0-3,200 IPM). The 3-speed model, DCF887, offers speeds of up to 1000 RPM, 2800 RPM, 3250 RPM, and 3800 IPM, as well as 1825-inch-pounds of turning effect. As a result, no-load speed on the DCF887 increases to 3,250 RPM (versus 2,800 RPM on the DCF885), maximum torque grows to 1825 IN-LBS (versus 1400 LBS), and the number of impacts per minute increases to 0-3,800 IPM (versus the lower model’s 0-3,200 IPM).

The biggest advantage of lithium-ion batteries is that they have a much higher energy density versus standard batteries, helping provide more power to power-hungry tools like the DCF885 and letting them run for longer between charges. With its ergonomic handle, the DCF885 provides a comfortable and secure grip, minimizing user fatigue even during extended use. Its durable construction ensures the tool can withstand heavy-duty applications and prolonged use without compromising its performance. The DEWALT DCF887 is a premium, top-of-the-line cordless motor that’s designed to be the ultimate power source for your toughest jobs. It features a brushless impact driver. The brushless means more power efficient and less heat. The most significant difference is that the DCF887 features a brushless motor (as opposed to the DCF885’s brushed motor), the main benefit of which is that brushless motors can deliver more power versus brushed motors of the same size.And trust us…we’re speaking from experience here, having resorted to using a drill driver on several projects to drive longer fixings into tough materials like hardwood, steel, and concrete. Dcf885 has a food performance and is relatively easy to maintain. If you are looking for a sturdy and durable construction tool to help you complete your home improvement projects, the Dewalt DCF885 cordless drill/driver might be the right choice for you. This model is designed to provide users with a high level of comfort even if it’s being used for extended periods. Part of the intelligent XR Lithium Ion Series designed for efficiency and making applications faster DEWALT DCF887 introduces a powerful brushless motor in a compact 4-1/2-inch tool body for precision drilling, driving, and fastening. The DCF887 impact driver has a variable speed range of 0-450/0-1,500 RPM and provides 2,400 in./lbs. Of max torque, which is more torque than the typical cordless drill. Both models also come in a variety of different kit types, including those which include the tool only, and others loaded with either standard-powered lithium-ion batteries, multiple batteries, or higher-powered batteries which you can choose between depending on your needs/budget.

One of the few gripes that users had was that the machine isn’t very quiet. Most impact drivers are noisy, but you may need to be wary of waking your family when you use this oneWith a maximum torque output of 1400 IN-LBS and maximum impacts per minute of 3,200 IPM, the DCF885 delivers more than enough power to handle larger fixings in the toughest of materials.
