To replace the Dewalt 14.4v battery it would cost nearly $70.00, and at that price I may as well buy the DEWALT DCF885C1 20V Max 1/4″ Impact Driver Kit. I’m not knocking Dewalt, that battery didn’t owe anybody anything. The issue is that the Dewalt branded battery is out juice after 3 or 4 deck screws. It looks pretty rough, but to it’s credit, it runs like a champ. If I remember right, my father bought it second hand, and it was well used. The Dewalt driver I’ve mentioned, was a hand me down. This is the first run on it, so I expect it to be strong, it will be interesting to see how it runs in a year. I ran a few deck screws into some treated lumber, and it runs quite well. I’m no electrician, but based on experience that’s about what I would expect. The new battery with a full charge shows 20.5v on my meter. The Harbor Freight 18v battery is larger, but about the same weight as the Dewalt 14.4v battery. The Harbor Freight 18v charger seems a fair bit lighter than the Dewalt 14.4v charger. The driver is roughly the size and weight of my Dewalt 14.4v impact driver. The charger, driver, and battery seem of reasonable quality. The battery had at least some charge out of the box, I made sure it went forward and reverse and then put the battery on the charger. I swore you couldn’t use a coupon on close out items, so either I was wrong or I just got hold of a nice cashier.
I noticed later that they had applied the 20% coupon to the impact driver, saving me about $8.00. The other cashier was desperately tying to get me to buy the warranty so I didn’t really look at my change. 40 off of the $2.00 bit holder was something. I gave the cashier a 20% coupon figuring. I also purchased a magnetic bit holder for $2.00. I’ve seen it priced at ~$99.00 in store before, but I think that it’s usually right at ~$40.00. Normal price is $99.00, but it was on close out at $39.97. It’s the driver, charger, and single battery in a fitted plastic box. So with that in mind I swung by my local Harbor Freight and bought one of their 18v 1/4 impact driver packages. Thanks to you both.įirst on the long list of tools I’ve been wanting was a 1/4 inch impact driver with a battery that actually works.
