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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Driver gets extremely hot driving deck screws, May 22, 2008

By 

spyinthesky (Rhode Island) - See all my reviews

This review is from: DEWALT DC825KA 18-Volt Compact Impact Driver (Tools & Home Improvement)

This driver works well but gets EXTREMELY hot during extended use. It reached close to 130-135 degrees at the top of the grip and on the back of the motor housing not to mention the gear housing was hotter. The battery needs to cool for an hour before the charger will begin to charge. The driver needs a better cooling fan if it's to be used for more than 1/2 hour at a time. For intermittent use it would be fine. The forward/reverse switch could use a more positive detend and or more throw.

5.0 out of 5 stars Much better than previous model, October 18, 2008

This review is from: DEWALT DC825KA 18-Volt Compact Impact Driver (Tools & Home Improvement)

This impact works much better than Dewalt's previous model, also it is much more comfortable to use. It has a good deal of power for driving screws, I haven't tried drilling with it as I have a regular 18 volt drill for that. A previous reviewer said that the one he got has a great deal of runout, mine does not share that quality with his, I have no problem driving any kind of screw, except flat blade screws. I bought this mostly for driving screws into metal and it works great even better with the new nano batteries. I would reccomend this tool to any one who drive alot of fastners, especially if they drive larger fastners.
