Hey everyone! I'm wrapping up a six-month professional development course at work this Friday and I feel like treating myself to a new 20V impact driver. My current one works just fine, it's just an older 18V with a 20V converter. I'm mainly using it for home projects, so I don't need the top-of-the-line model. I have batteries, so a bare tool would work great. I'm hoping to spend around $100, but I'm open to spending a little more if there's a sweet combo deal or a 'buy one, get a free gift' kind of offer. I'm also considering getting a cordless brad or nail gun (Dewalt preferred) or even a 12 gauge shotgun for fun, haha. Any suggestions on the best deals out there? Thanks in advance!

Hey, there's a 12V driver with two batteries on sale right now that could be perfect for home use! I'm not exactly sure how it compares to the DCF850 Atomic, which is my current favorite.
If you’re looking for deals, spring sales might still be happening. I'd recommend checking out the DCF870 if you already have the 20V battery. I really love mine, but it's generally around the $200 mark. For your budget, hitting up local pawn shops or marketplace sites could be the way to go – you can often find great deals there. Oh, and if you're after sheer power, the DC860 is a solid choice if you can find it!
Marketplace can be hit or miss, but there's a big pawn shop near me that usually has good stuff. Since I don't really need to drive far, I prefer keeping it simple. Also, I'm kind of leaning toward a 12 gauge, haha.
Definitely check out Fasteners Inc for their Saturday flash sales; they've had good deals on the DCF870.
But is that even 20V? It's important to stick to what OP is asking about!
