Very compact with plenty of strength. Has a strong enough light source that I have actually used it for a flash light. There is no hesitation when driving in screws. I particularly like the fact it has variable modes. Impact drivers work so fast that if it only had a variable speed trigger, by the time I react, it is too late or there is always the possibility of accidentally pulling the trigger too tight. Is there an appreciable difference in variable speed triggers and varying modes? Maybe not but there is definitely more peace of mind with the variable speed. I have a number of Dewalt power tools and the drill driver is the same high quality as the other power tools. I highly recommend anything in the Dewalt line.

Be advised that this DCF787 has a major drawback over earlier DeWalt impact drivers. While earlier versions had 3 nice bright white LED's mounted in the head to provide plenty of light, the DCF787 has only one LED, cutting the brightness by 2/3rds. Very disappointing. How much would 2 add'l LED's have cost DeWalt?

Went with DeWalt because of past durability. Been using a 1/2" drill/driver to run deck screws and the difference is amazing. Light weight, easy to handle, and drives 3-1/2" screws with no effort. Switched to the 2ah battery to reduce weight and still get good run time. Bits easy to change and the tool is compact in size. Good price, great performance, and, if lasts, a winner.

I purchased this impact because I've recently had access to several used Dewalt batteries and have found many are still good batteries. I'm a very avid fan of Milwaukee tools but since I have a source for the Dewalt batteries I thought that I would get this impact to compair it to my Milwaukee FUEL impact. I've got yo say that I was pleasantly surprised and plan to add it to my regularly used tools. The price was very fair too and it was delivered in just a few days. So far it has been a good decision to give this Dewalt tool a try.

Pros: plenty of power and I like the three speed/torque ranges. It's Dewalt through-and-through. The tool is well balanced and easy to handle. It feels very comfortable in use. Performance-wise, I've had no problems driving hundreds of 2-1/2" and 3" screws into and through whitewood 2x4s. That's my main use. Cons: nothing worth mentioning. If I lost this driver tomorrow I'd probably replace it with the same model. When I got it I expected to only use it for heavier jobs, and stick with my drill/driver for routine work. Turns out, I use it for almost every screw-driving application.
