Decent deal. There are lots of these around at similar prices on Ebay. IF, you buy there, it is important to get a high volume high rated seller. Many buy kits or damaged pallets and part them out selling the individual pieces below retail/sale prices to make a profit. I got one for like 52 bucks without shipping around five or six months ago. . This is the brushed version that used to be the top of the line before the brushed ones (887). There are still many professionals who prefer this impact driver over the brushless version. The brushless version has been known to "let the smoke out." You want a high quality impact driver, this is worth considering.

FYI - Fastenersinc oversells and then cancels orders.

A brushed tool, this 885 was one of the first 1/4" 20v battery impact drivers that DeWalt mass marketed. These may not be the latest and greatest and the price reflects that, but this 885 has proven itself in the field as a reliable tool. Below, the brushless 887 does have more power, but can also have more problems with the multi-speed gearbox. Compared to 'eBay' that may or may not be a returned item, yes, the shipping is what hurts this deal.... everyone wants the latest and greatest when this tool works fine for most.
