DeWalt DC825KA User Reviews:

  • Overall User Rating - 4.4 of 5 Stars

  • Favorable Reviews - 7

  • Critical Reviews - 1

  • I would reccomend this tool to anyone who drives a lot of fastners, especially if they drive larger fastners.

  • So I brought the impact driver home, gave the batteries a full charge then let er rip on some 3" drywall screws. I was blown away. You blink, its in.

  • I know a 1/4" impact is going to have play in the chuck, but this wobbles around like crazy.

  • The heavy duty impact driver is worth the extra cost

  • This driver works well but gets EXTREMELY hot during extended use.

  • can't be pleased any better

  • This is a great driver, I own a plumbing company and we have substituted this impact driver for our cordless drills. Much more compact and the built in light is very handy.
