Our take on the Dewalt DCF801B 12V Max Brushless Impact Driver, Bare

The DeWalt DCF801B is a compact 12V Max brushless 1/4 in. impact driver built for precision fastening. It measures 5.05 in. long, delivers 1,450 in-lbs of torque, and has a three-mode switch with Precision Drive for control on small screws and delicate work. Three LEDs on the nosecone light the work surface. It is sold bare, so batteries and charger are not included. Against 12V rivals it trades some outright power for size and control, and owners rate it highly for light assembly, cabinet work and driving fasteners overhead or in tight spots.

Questions and answers

Does the DCF801B come with a battery and charger?
No. It is a bare tool: the box holds the impact driver and a belt clip only. You need a DeWalt 12V Max battery and charger.
How does it compare with the DCF815?
The DCF801B is brushless, shorter at 5.05 in., and adds a three-mode switch with Precision Drive. The older DCF815 is brushed and has a single speed setting.
What is Precision Drive?
It is the lowest of the three mode settings. It limits torque and speed so small screws and delicate materials are less likely to strip or split.
What bit size does it take?
It has a 1/4 in. hex quick-change chuck, the standard size for impact driver bits.
Is it strong enough for deck screws?
It can drive short deck screws, but it is built for precision fastening. Long or large fasteners are better handled by an 18V or 20V driver.
Does it have a belt clip?
Yes, a belt clip is included in the box.
