DeWalt 20V MAX XR Drill/Driver DCD800P1 vs DeWalt 20V Max XR Impact Driver
Buy the DCD800P1 drill/driver if you need to bore holes in wood, metal or masonry-style materials and want a complete kit with a 5Ah battery and charger in the box. Buy the DCF845B impact driver if your work is driving screws and fasteners, where its 1,825 in-lbs of torque and 4,500 IPM beat any drill. They are different tools, not rivals: the drill is the better all-rounder for a first power tool, the impact driver is the better second tool for anyone driving lots of screws. Owners of the XR line praise the brushless motors and battery life; the main complaint about the impact driver is that it ships bare, with no battery or charger.
- Choose the DeWalt DCD800P1 if you want one cordless tool that drills and drives, and you want a battery and charger included.
- Choose the DeWalt DCF845B if you already own 20V MAX batteries and mostly drive screws and long fasteners.
