Overview
Not a drill driver, this DeWalt is a small battery impact tool with a brushless motor, a quarter inch chuck and a built in work light. It is yellow, light and listed as lightweight.
Its strength is high torque and three speed settings in a small body that fits tight spots. The limitation is what is missing: no battery, charger or bit set is named in the listing.
Who it's for
Deck builders, framers and installers who drive many screws are the audience, especially in tight spaces. Buyers who want a drill driver, or a ready kit with power supplies, should look at a different listing.
Pros and cons
- High torque for its size
- Three speed settings
- Built in LED light
- Compact and lightweight
- Battery and charger not listed
- Quarter inch chuck only
Performance notes
A brushless motor wastes less energy as heat, which extends runtime, and the impact mechanism adds rotational blows to drive long fasteners without stalling. The speed settings let you match the setting to the material and screw.
