Brushless Impact driver versus cordless drill

With the demands, like-minded folks have for their power tools, for more power, driving large deck screws, drilling more holes per charge, and powering paddle bits, mixing thin set and other home improvement, building, and repair jobs. With the technology available at the time, there was really only one viable option.

The best option for satisfying these power demands, increasing the size and weight of the 18-volt rechargeable NiCad batteries. The increased physical size, additional run times, and more powerful motors meant using larger capacity batteries, in turn adding a significant amount of weight and overall size to tools. 

Quality minded Homeowners, motivated by their never-ending passion for remodeling, and home improvement projects. Also, enjoy the value added benefits, upgrading to and using the new cordless power tools. Follow along. Join in on the chat, as we discuss the advantages of using the new DeWalt brushless Impact driver as it compares to the old school cordless drill drivers.

The thing that creates as many problems as it solves by the one tool dose all approach. Using a heavy-duty cordless drill, for everything more often than not means using a tool that is either too big, or small for the job at hand.

Take for instance, a home remodeling project requires you to perform a typical job. Shooting small wood screws, too install a piano hinge, cabinet door hinges, drawer hardware etc.  With that in mind, let me ask you an equally simple question. How many screws will you strip, when using one of the 18-volt overpowered, behemoth cordless drills?

I will go out on a limb here and say, if you are anything like me, a heck of a lot more than you care to admit. Too be honest, I believe we will all agree our favorite heavy-duty cordless drills are so heavy and powerful, they are hard to and often impossible to get into and control in tight spaces.

The DeWalt model # DCF895C2 is a much-improved 3-speed, BL (brushless) motor design cordless impact driver. Weighing in at 3.1 lbs., this powerhouse uses the new Lithium ion battery (included) to power the new BL motor. Increasing run times, ranging from a conservative 1.5 to double that of the old school cordless drills and impact drivers using the 18-volt NiCad batteries.

Smaller size means less intrusive making the BL cordless impact driver and proper bit easier to get into tight spaces, complemented by lighter weight makes the DeWalt cordless impact and new Lithium ion batteries, a winning combination for anyone that enjoys using the best impact driver for their job.

Making the DeWalt DCF895C2 even better, the battery has an easy to view fuel gauge that indicates how much power is in the battery. No more of that starting a job with a dying battery, a quick look at the gauge, and you are ready to go to work, no worries.

The fine folks at DeWalt did not forget about the importance of a good work light when designing the DCF895C2 impact driver. Three bright LEDs light the way, not only while driving screws in dimly lit spaces, used as a flashlight for finding your way in the dark as an added bonus. Let’s face it no one likes crawling around in dark crawlspaces, stumbling around in addicts, installing kitchen cabinets, or closet organizers in dark hard to reach spaces.

Increasing the versatility of the DeWalt ¼-inch cordless impact driver is easy as eating a piece of your favorite pie. When you buy the DeWalt DW2169 38-piece impact-driver accessory kit, drive hex-head sheet metal screws, Phillips head deck, and framing screws, 1/4-inch, 5/16-inch, 3/8-inch nuts and bolts with the nut driver bits quick, fast, and in a hurry.
