Is the DCF887P1 worth it over the older DCF885?

Yes for most buyers. The DCF887 adds a brushless motor, a third speed setting and more torque, so it drives faster and runs cooler than the DCF885. The older model is only worth it if you find it much cheaper and rarely push hard fasteners.

How does it compare with the Milwaukee M18 impact driver?

The DEWALT is smaller and lighter with similar torque, while Milwaukee's M18 Fuel offers comparable power and its own battery platform. Pick based on which battery system you already own, since both are pro-grade.

How long does the 5.0Ah battery last?

Expect several hundred screws per charge in typical deck and framing work, less in cold weather or with heavy lag bolts. A second battery is worth adding for full-day jobs.

The kit includes the DCF887 impact driver, one 20V MAX 5.0Ah lithium-ion battery and a charger. Bits and a belt hook are not listed.

Does it accept standard 1/4-inch hex bits?

Yes. The 1/4-inch quick-release hex chuck takes standard 1-inch and 2-inch insert bits and bit holders, so most bit sets work without an adapter.

DEWALT kits typically drop during holiday sales and spring tool events. Watch the price history and buy when it dips below its recent average rather than at full list.

The DEWALT DCF887P1 is a 20V MAX XR brushless impact driver with a 1/4-inch hex chuck, three speed settings and up to 1,825 in-lb of torque. It is a compact, pro-grade tool built for driving long screws and lag bolts without the bulk of a drill. The kit ships with a 5.0Ah lithium-ion battery and charger, so it is ready to use out of the box. Its latest best price sits near the low end of its recent range, making it a solid buy if you need one now.
