DeWalt 20V Max High-Torque DCF860 vs DeWalt DCF787C1 20V MAX Impact Driver
The DCF860 is the stronger tool: 2,500 in-lbs of torque, 3,800 RPM, three speed modes and nine LEDs, versus 1,500 in-lbs, 2,800 RPM and a single speed on the DCF787. The DCF787 is the better first buy for a homeowner because it comes as a complete kit with a battery, charger and bag, and it is smaller and lighter in the hand. Owners rate the DCF787 well but not as highly as the DCF860, and the gap is mostly about power and control rather than reliability.
- Choose the DeWalt DCF860 if you already own 20V MAX batteries and need maximum torque, three speed modes and a bright work light for heavy driving and large fasteners.
- Choose the DeWalt DCF787C1 if you want a ready-to-use kit with battery, charger and bag, and you mostly drive screws in tight spaces and lighter material.
