The DeWALT 20V MAX XR 1/4 in. 3-Speed Impact Driver Kit DCF845P2 is a professional-grade cordless fastening solution built for demanding jobsite conditions. Powered by a brushless motor that delivers 1,825 in-lbs. of maximum torque and spins up to 3,400 RPM, this compact impact driver handles large diameter screws and tough fastening applications with ease. The kit ships with two DCB205 20V MAX 5.0 Ah batteries, a charger, belt hook, and kit bag, giving tradespeople and contractors everything needed to work through a full day without interruption. Whether you are driving structural fasteners, finishing trim, or working in confined spaces, the DCF845P2 combines power, precision, and smart tool connectivity in a lightweight package.

Key Features

• Brushless motor with 1,825 in-lbs. of torque and 3,400 RPM - eliminates the need for a corded power source while providing enough power to drive large diameter screws through demanding materials without bogging down.
• 3-speed switch with variable speed trigger - gives the user pro-level control and precision across different fastening tasks, allowing a single driver to handle delicate finish work as well as heavy-duty driving applications.
• 30% more torque compared to baseline - enables completion of tough fastening applications on the jobsite that lower-torque drivers may struggle to finish, reducing the need for pre-drilling in many situations.
• Integrated 3-LED work light - illuminates dimly lit workspaces and low-light areas so work does not stop when overhead lighting is poor or unavailable, improving both safety and productivity.
• Chip Ready design compatible with DEWALT TOOL CONNECT Site Manager App - allows users to track the tool's location with an optional chip (sold separately), helping reduce tool loss and improve accountability on busy job sites.
• 1/4 in. chuck size - accepts the wide range of standard hex shank driver bits and accessories already in most contractor's kit bags, minimizing the need for additional adapters.
• Includes two DCB205 20V MAX 5.0 Ah batteries - provides extended runtime per charge so work continues longer between swaps, keeping productivity high throughout the workday.

Why This Product

• The brushless motor design maximizes efficiency and extends motor life compared to brushed alternatives, making this driver a long-term investment for contractors who depend on their tools daily.
• Three speed settings plus a variable speed trigger put precise fastening control in the user's hands, so a single tool can move from delicate applications to heavy-duty driving without switching tools or risking over-driven fasteners.
• The dual-battery kit format means one battery stays on the charger while the other powers the driver, eliminating costly downtime waiting for a single battery to recharge during a full shift.
• The optional TOOL CONNECT chip compatibility adds a layer of jobsite asset management that helps contractors and crews keep track of valuable equipment across large or multi-crew work sites.

Frequently Asked Questions

What batteries are included with the DCF845P2 kit?

The kit includes two DCB205 20V MAX 5.0 Ah batteries, along with a charger, belt hook, and kit bag. The two-battery configuration allows one battery to charge while the other powers the tool, reducing downtime on the job.

What does "Chip Ready" mean on this impact driver?

Chip Ready means the DCF845 impact driver is designed to accept a DEWALT TOOL CONNECT tracking chip (sold separately). Once installed, the chip allows you to track the tool's location using the DEWALT TOOL CONNECT Site Manager App, which is useful for managing tools across large or multi-crew job sites.

Why would I use the 3-speed setting instead of just relying on the variable speed trigger?

The 3-speed switch lets you pre-select a maximum speed and torque range suited to your specific task - for example, a lower speed setting helps prevent over-driving screws in softer materials or finish work, while the higher speed settings are better for heavy-duty driving. Combined with the variable speed trigger, this gives you layered control that a trigger alone cannot provide.

Is the 1/4 in. chuck compatible with standard hex shank driver bits?

Yes. The 1/4 in. chuck on the DCF845 accepts standard 1/4 in. hex shank driver bits and accessories, which are widely available and likely already part of most contractors' existing bit sets.
