Our take on the DEWALT DCF860B 20V MAX* XR Brushless Cordless 3-Speed High Torque 1/4 in. Impact Driver (Tool Only)

The DeWalt DCF860B is a brushless 20V MAX XR impact driver rated at 2,500 in-lbs of torque, DeWalt's highest for this class. It has a 1/4 in. hex quick-change chuck, three speed modes, up to 3,800 RPM no-load speed and nine built-in LEDs around the chuck. It is a bare tool, so batteries and a charger are sold separately. It suits pros and serious DIYers driving long structural screws, lag bolts and decking, where its torque and speed beat older 18V and compact 20V drivers. Owners rate it highly for power and speed; the main trade-offs are its size and weight and the extra cost of 20V MAX batteries if you are not already on the platform.

About the DEWALT DCF860B 20V MAX* XR Brushless Cordless 3-Speed High Torque 1/4 in. Impact Driver (Tool Only)

This is a 20V MAX XR brushless cordless impact driver with a 1/4 in. quick-connect hex chuck. It delivers up to 2,500 in-lbs. of max torque and a no-load speed of up to 3,800 RPM. It is sold as a tool only, so the battery and charger are sold separately.

A variable speed trigger and a 3-speed mode select control the driving. Speeds 1 and 2 are set to match the installation speeds of commonly used self-drilling and tapping screws. Check the impact driver manual and the screw manufacturer's instructions for proper installation.

Nine built-in LEDs light the work area, and a work light setting runs for 20 minutes. The tool is Tool Connect Chip Ready, so with a chip (sold separately) it can be tracked in the Tool Connect Site Manager app. Applications include electrical, drywall, plumbing and mechanical, deck building and dock building.

Questions and answers

Does the DCF860B come with a battery and charger?
No. It is sold as a bare tool. You need a DeWalt 20V MAX battery and charger, sold separately.
How does it compare with the DCF887?
The DCF860B has much higher torque, 2,500 in-lbs against roughly 1,825 in-lbs, plus a higher top speed and three speed modes. It is also larger and heavier.
What is the chuck size?
It takes standard 1/4 in. hex bits, the common size for impact driver accessories.
Can it drive lag bolts and deck screws?
Yes. Its torque and three speed modes make it suited to deck building, dock building and structural fastening.
Which batteries work with it?
Any DeWalt 20V MAX battery. Larger packs give more runtime, and the tool is heavier with them.
Is it good for light assembly work?
It can do it, but the low speed mode is the safer choice. A compact driver is easier to handle for small screws.
