Dewalt xr multi tool8/31/2023 ![]() The walls are actually made of straw, unbelievable. Today of all days I went to a job on a fairly new estate, about 30 years old, and was shocked to find straw in the walls. And then recently I've started using it more and more, until most recently it's one of the staple tools. So for the longest time I never used this, it just sat in the van never getting much use. You tend to normally get them just like this, without the blades but you do get your sanding attachment to it, which you just click on there, put sandpaper on there if you like. Quite expensive, I think you can get them for less than £200 with a battery, a couple of batteries and charger, around £130 if they're on their own. I've had this bad boy for quite some time, it's the DeWalt 18 volt multi tool and it's the brush-less one so it's the newer one. And today I'm going to be talking about one of my favourite new tools. I'm Ben Curry from Electrical Innovations in Derby. I felt it could have come in slightly cheaper. I purchased it as a kit on a special with T-stak box, charger, battery and a few attachments. Over time this might become an issue and the sanding pad is shot. ![]() The reason I didn’t give the tool a five star rating is because the battery is starting to loosen in the battery casing and that’s with all of my DeWalt 18v batteries. The sander works a treat but at full speed the sandpaper starts sliding off which in turn starts wearing the sander pad. Fitting laminate flooring it’s great for cutting the bottom of door frames, cutting slots in fitted skirting boards, cutting plug boxes into plaster board walls and don’t forget cutting out the back of kitchen units to access water shutoff taps and the back of bookcases to gain access to power points. The most useful function must be the cutting blades. I have used this multi tool for around four years now, I pack it for every job I do as it’s so useful. Many users even said the tools were worth more than what they spent.DEWALT DCS355 XR Brushless Oscillating Multi-Tool And no one seemed displeased at the affordable price they paid. A common comment was that the batteries lasted far longer than expected with Atomic tools. Some reported satisfaction with the power of the Atomic line against the XR line. Many people expressed their surprise at how light and compact the tools were once they used them. People with experience with tools in both lineups seemed to love the smaller size of the new Atomic tools. So, we searched the internet, reading through forums, reviews, and comments to figure out what real-world users thought after using these tools.Īcross the board, users were mostly pleased with tools from both lineups. But there are many opinions out there, and these tools have been used by many people. We’ve done our best to offer a fair comparison of these two tool lines. Once again, the DCF809 Atomic impact driver beats both of these models, weighing in at a mere 2.1 pounds without the battery. ![]() In the XR line, the two impact drivers we’re comparing against the Atomic model are the DCF885 and the DCF887, both of which weigh in at 2.65 pounds with no battery installed. Overall, the Atomic line offers some of the most affordable power tools that are available from DeWalt right now. The DCF887 is a much higher-end model from the XR family that outprices both of the other models we mentioned, and while it did offer more power than the Atomic impact driver, the Atomic was still smaller. Still, the XR line does offer more powerful options if power is the most important factor for you.ĭespite being far more powerful and compact than the DCF885 XR impact driver, the DCF809 is actually more affordable, though only by a small margin. It’s slightly outperformed by the DCF887 but manages far more power than the DCF885. So, the Atomic isn’t the most powerful of the bunch, but it does put up respectable numbers. ![]() At the higher end of the XR range, the DCF887 slightly outperforms the Atomic model with 1,825 inch-pounds maximum torque and a peak of 3,600 impacts per minute. The DCF885 tops out at 1,400 inch-pounds maximum torque but manages the same 3,200 impacts per minute. Compared to the DCF885, the Atomic is far more powerful. The Atomic DCF809 impact driver is rated at 1,700 inch-pounds of torque and can produce a peak of 3,200 impacts per minute. Let’s keep comparing the same impact drivers. Even the DCF887, DeWalt’s flagship and more expensive impact driver, measures 0.2 inches longer than the Atomic model at 5.3 inches. The DCF885B, one of DeWalt’s most popular and affordable impact drivers, measures 5.55 inches in length, compared to the 5.1-inch length of the DCF809 Atomic impact driver.
