Paul_In_NJ Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 I am looking at the new 20V DCF895 impact driver and I am torn between getting the package with the 3.0 batteries. I have searched around the net looking for some type of comparison between these two. I saw a couple of nice You Tubes on Dewalt vs Milw. Obviously the 3.0 will run longer but I was looking for some type of metric like 1.5 will drive 100 3" screws and 3.0 will drive 175 between charges. It looks like the difference is about $70 when you purchase the tool and 2 batteries. That's not a big deal but is it worth the extra weight when using the tool and is there any difference in re-charge time between the two. On top of this this is the brush less motor which is supposed to be more efficient 57% more run time according to the marketing guys. I have a whole collection of the 18V line and if Dealt wants me to upgrade I would love to see some data to show me why. Preferably something like 18V Drill with XRP battery vs 20V Drill with Lithium 1.5 and 3.0. show me why I NEED to buy these new tools. :-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golden valley const. Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 In most cases the 3.0 will drive a little more than twice what the 1.5 drives. Why? Half the current draw per cell means slightly more efficient power delivery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
