DeWalt vs Flex Impact Driver: 20V DCF887 vs 24V FX1371

I like the Flex. Homeowner power house. I’ve owned several Dewalts. They seem to die at about age 5.

I love flex. DeWalt is overpriced for what it is

Flex number 1 power tools

I've always been a dewalt guy. But that was when they were made in America. But that's gonna change if the sawzaws are that much better

Flex all day long.

DeWalt has the light at the right spot for no shadow.

I have both dewalt amd flex. I can say without question flex is insanely good. With fkwx releasing new tools on the regular its a matter of time till they have as many options as dewalt

Flex sucks, DEWALT for proven Longevity.

Flex

I have both. I like the flex because of the fast charging & warranty.

Still love my 885...

I like flex tools as I have 5. However, as other people commented the lineup of tools for Flex is limited. I do hope they come out with additional tools as it is nice to use one tool platform for battery purposes.

The dcf840 blows the 887 out of the water in both power and speed I have the 887 too but I would like to see this same test with the dcf840 if possible Thx.

I have combo sets of both. Give me the flex all day. Yes, heavier but that extra heavyness helps in driving power.

The 887 was released in 2016, what are yall doing not testing out the 845? Also both companies have stacked lithium batteries, why not test those?

Flex is the powerhouse with ultimate lifetime warranty..! BAM..!

Should’ve used the 845 vs fx1371a .

The reality is there are more 887’s sold than any others. Everyone else is playing catch up.

Dewalt with 5 ah powerstack is more fast !

🙄 "PromoSM"

👍👍

I have DeWalt stuff, and have no issues with the results here. The issue with Flex is how heavy it is, and how (currently) limited their tool range is compared to DeWalt. I'm not a pro, and I'll never use either tool at its limits, so comfort is really my biggest issue, and DeWalt tools have great grips that just feel awesome in the hand. Mix that with a much lighter tool, and that's a good combo. Personally I'd go with the 850 in any case, then you also got a much smaller tool as well. With all that said, if Flex sticks around and expands their range, I'll certainly consider them in the future. I love my Ego lawn stuff, and I love how much more modern of a take Flex has on tools, so I hope they push the other makers to modernize their feature sets.

The results were as expected; not really a wonder tbh. Not really a fair comparison IMO, the 887 is really getting long in the tooth.

I use dewalt because I’ve had the batteries forever.

The poor 887 has been fighting the good fight on yt for almost a decade lol

Not a fair comparison with an old impact vs newer one I'll take one that's half the weight even if it's less powerful most of those tests weren't even for what you'd use an impact for terrible video

Flex thank you

I’ll take the Dewalt.

This is an excellent review and it is impressive. I own a lot of Flex tool (over $250K) and based on the video, I will throw away my Flex tools and start investing into the future by upgrading to DeWALT.
Thanks for your suggestion.

Cost, batteries, that only matters to homeowners. When it comes to pros, the ONLY thing that matters is how does it do in the field and what kind of warranty you're getting. Nothing lasts forever, but you're not going to buy something that you have to keep replacing. I can't wait to start buying Flex tools. They continually up the game. They remind of me Bosch when they were at their height, just dominating everything across the board. When you bought a Bosch, you knew you could beat it like it owed you money and it'd just turn around and say, "Thank you sir. May I have another?" Now, I'm far from a DeFault fan. In fact, I hate them because when I was running my own company and a brand new compressor I bought from them failed, they refused to honor the warranty and told me that it was going to cost me $150 to replace the motor of a NEW compressor that I was using on my first job with it. I told them to go to hell.

Having said that, 20V vs 24V is not a fair test. Of course the Flex (which I'll be buying from now on) is going to cream the DeFault.

Why wouldn’t you put it up against the new Dewalt XR?

Sure the flex has more power but will it still work in a decade of being beat to shit?

Weight is a big thing. If your using the tool overhead. Also all day long if you use a lighter tool you will be working faster. If I need to drive Bolts, I use the right tool an impact wrench. The impact driver is for driving screws, not breaking lug nuts off a truck. But yes the Flex warranty is hard to beat. And it has the power if you need it.

Dewalt has never made a good impact driver

A brand new model vs. one that is nearly a decade old? I'm no fanboy either way, my power tool bench looks like skittles, but c'mon. How about giving it a fair comparo. Why not the 850 or 840?

Top for 2023 fle. V 2015 Dewalt. Seems fair.

Hahaha. How much does flex pay?

The DCF887M2 kit might be a fairer price comparison, with two 4AH batteries rather than the 2AHs.

The 887 is soon to be discontinued. And gets out performed by the 850, 840and 845. Was this a re upload?

The stupid video factory just keeps churning.
