DeWalt Impact Driver
The DeWalt 1/4" DCF895C2 impact driver ($300) features the company’s new brushless motor technology, which is engineered to provide maximum run time. According to DeWalt, that means 57 per cent longer run time compared with the company’s conventional impact driver. Beyond the motor, the new 20-volt impact driver also includes a push-button, 1/4" chuck that accepts hex bits, doing away with the awkward sliding collar and allowing for true one-handed bit changes. It has three LED lights surrounding the chuck that illuminate whatever needs twisting. The tool also is quite light and compact, weighing 3 lb. and measuring only 5 1/4" in length.
