DeWALT DCF870N 18V XR Brushless Hydraulic Impact Driver – Body Only
Ultra-compact hydraulic impact driver for quieter, controlled fastening
DeWALT DCF870N is an 18V XR brushless hydraulic impact driver designed for professional tradespeople who need reliable screwdriving performance with less impact noise. Its oil-filled hydraulic mechanism provides a quieter alternative to conventional impact drivers, while the compact body makes it easier to work in confined spaces, cabinets and installation areas.
Key Benefits
Hydraulic mechanism for reduced noise: Unlike a conventional impact driver, the DCF870 uses an oil-filled hydraulic mechanism to deliver fastening impacts with reduced noise and vibration. It’s a useful choice for indoor installation work and environments where controlling noise matters.
Brushless motor for efficient performance: The brushless motor is designed to deliver reliable power, improve efficiency and support a compact tool design for everyday professional use.
Compact 101mm body: Get into tight spaces where a longer driver can be difficult to position. Its short front-to-back length is particularly useful for cabinet fitting, electrical installations and general assembly work.
Up to 56Nm of torque: The DCF870 provides the fastening force needed for a wide range of screwdriving and assembly applications. Its hydraulic action prioritises smooth, controlled fastening rather than the extreme torque of a high-torque impact wrench.
Three operating modes: Choose the appropriate setting for the task to improve control across different fastening applications.
Drop-and-load 1/4" bit holder: Insert compatible hex bits quickly and operate the holder one-handed, helping speed up bit changes when moving between fixings.
Nine-LED halo light: The 82-lumen LED ring illuminates the work area around the bit. A dedicated flashlight mode provides up to 20 minutes of continuous light, useful when checking fixings or working in poorly lit spaces.
18V XR battery compatibility: Use compatible DeWALT 18V XR lithium-ion batteries, including suitable POWERSTACK packs, to integrate the driver into your existing cordless tool collection.
