how does it do with an impact driver

it does not provide enough air to run an impact without waiting several times on each wheel you are trying to remove. If you are looking for a unit to drive an impact wrench I would definitely recommend that you DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER THIS UNIT FOR THAT PURPOSE

I gotta believe it's going to do a super job. I haven't used it with impact driver, but everything is super, and it's got lots of oomph.

I just used it with a 1/2 impact wrench today to rotate tires, worked great! Don't expect to open a tire shop with it, but for occasional use it's more than adequit. I set the output pressure up to 120 PSI to get the most out of my impact gun.

The drill has multiple speeds and is made for use with various drill bits of different sizes with its adjustable chuck. The impact driver is for driving things, e.g., screws and bolts; it does have a variable speed trigger but not meant for drilling purposes.

It's a battery powered driver, which give you a wonderful "impact" torque. I had never had an impact driver before, had struggled with electric and battery powered screwdrivers, trying to drive screws into hard wood, treated fence posts, etc. When I took on the project to tear out carpet and install cement board and porcelain tile in my family room, I knew it would wear me out trying to drive hundreds of screws into the cement board under layment. So, I bought this impact driver. It is amazing!!!! I don't know how I lived so long without an impact driver! I am a 60+ year old woman (who has more tools than the average man), and I now can drive just about anything without messing up my wrists or shoulders. I use it for almost everything now. It has 2 batteries, which is really nice when working on a big project like laying my 400+ square feet of cement board. Each piece took about 30 screws. When the driver battery started wearing down, I popped in the new battery and continued working. By the time I had nailed the board and cut the next bunch of cement board, the other battery was fully charged and ready to go again. I also like the balance of this driver, properly weighted and not too big or heavy. You can't go wrong with this Bosch. If you're looking for a cordless screwdriver, forget the standard ones and get a good impact driver. Tip: start using the star bits and screws ... they're much less likely to strip out than the Phillips screws when driving deep into hard wood.

Ron,On my set, the Impact Driver does not have a clutch, but is reversible. The drill does have a clutch and is reversable

Yes, I actually use a socket and impact driver with mine. Never had a problem. I'm very happy with them

No, an impact driver is like the drill/driver, but with more torque for driving nut/bolts larger than screws and such.

No, DCF886M2 is an Impact Driver, 1st you shouldnt use an impact for drilling and 2nd it simply wont fit.

A drill is just driven around by the motor, usually with some ability to control the speed with the trigger. An impact driver is "hammered around", like an air tool that removes lug nuts from an automobile or truck wheel. Often nuts are very tight or are corroded in place, so the impact will break them lose. I have a normal drill and an impact driver. Both take the same 1/4" shank bits as well as drill bits. I favor the impact driver when drilling stucco to install anchors for stuff I want on the house. For most jobs I use the regular drill. I don't often need the impact driver to remove nuts, but it sure helps when I need it. (A third tool is a hammer drill, which is more substantial, uses special concrete bits and chisels, and can make holes in concrete walls and slabs quickly.)

The Drill has 3 settings: "Full torque Hammer Drill, Full torque Standard Drill, and "Torque limited Screw drive mode" where you set the torque you want (Note that since this drill is brushless, it regulates torque electronically according your "clutch" setting, not an actual click-click mechanical clutch like older models). The Impact driver is "impact only" (of course...)

Mine runs my impact just fine. Now it doesn't run it like a nascar pit crew impact. But more than sdequate to take a tire on/off. If you're running a garage or business look at something a bit beefier. But for the occasional back yard mechanic this will be fine

I don't know the exact torque value, lets just say it's good for light work and tight spaces which is why I got it. If you need heavier torque, I suggest you purchase a butterfly impact gun, flexable and easy to use. Assuming you have compressed air, beyond that, you would need a standard impact driver for the tough ones, and impact bits.

Drill is like others said, DCD710; Impact Driver is DCF815; I like them both....also have 18 volt system with lots of accessories...this 12v is just as good, smaller size is real asset. No issues yet.

never used this impact driver for that. you want to check with harbour frieght. they have a impact driver especially for taking of lug nuts. I have one and it works great.

Not sure what you are asking, I run impact adapters and sockets with this tool. For a small tool the thing really delivers quite a punch. I find it very versatile when running screws in odd locations where I cannot use the standard impact gun. There are tons of adapters available for this thing. Do keep one thing in mind it has a small shaft, so when I am on a tough thing to loosen I try to use a socket initially to break the hold on the bolt.

An "impact drill" as you call it (actually more properly called an impact driver) is intended to provide huge amounts of torque necessary to insert bolts and screws. It's not meant for drilling, although it will function just fine as a drill--it's simply UNSAFE to use as one. The torque it provides is enough that if your drill bit gets stuck in something, instead of slipping in the chuck, the impact driver will simply shatter the bit. Then you have shrapnel. No bueno.

I use them with a cordless hammer drill. I don't believe the "pounding" action is the same with an impact driver. My impact won't take straight bits, so I have never tried it.
