The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
At $308.15, the DEWALT DCF887P1 is the most expensive tool in this batch by a substantial margin. It runs on the 20V MAX platform at 3250 RPM with a 5-amp draw and weighs a trim 2.1 pounds. The 5Ah battery included in the P1 kit designation is the key differentiator, providing extended runtime for professionals who cannot afford downtime waiting on a charge.
The 4.7-star rating from 335 reviews reflects genuine professional satisfaction, though the review count is lower than volume-market entries like the DCF809B. This is expected for a high-price professional kit where the target audience is smaller. Based on specs and verified owner reviews, the DCF887P1 is valued for the combination of a high-capacity battery, 3250 RPM speed, and DEWALT's reputation for jobsite durability.
For a buyer comparing the DCF887P1 against the DCF809C2 kit at $179.99, the primary difference is the battery capacity: the P1 kit pairs the tool with a larger 5Ah pack versus the smaller batteries in the C2 kit, giving significantly longer runtime per charge. Buyers who are not running extended high-demand sessions may find the DCF809C2 or DCF809B a more practical choice at a lower price.
Pros
- 3250 RPM matches the top speed tier in this category for fast, confident fastening
- 5-amp battery draw and P1 kit designation indicate a high-capacity battery for extended runtime
- 4.7 stars from 335 reviews confirms professional-level satisfaction
- 2.1-pound weight keeps the tool maneuverable despite the premium kit positioning
- 20V MAX platform provides full compatibility with the DEWALT cordless ecosystem
Cons
- At $308.15, it is by far the most expensive tool in this category and priced significantly above alternatives with similar performance specs
- No active monthly purchase data in the listing, reflecting a smaller professional target market
- Buyers who already own DEWALT 20V batteries gain little added value from the bundled kit

Performance notes
Battery powered at 20 volts with a 5-amp draw and 3250 RPM output, weighing 2.1 pounds. The DEWALT DCF887P1 kit is configured for professional job-site use where the high-capacity battery provides sustained runtime across demanding fastening tasks. The 3250 RPM speed makes it one of the fastest-driving 20V tools in this group.
What buyers say
The 335-review pool at 4.7 stars shows consistent professional approval. Positive feedback centers on the reliable 3250 RPM performance, the runtime advantage of the included high-capacity battery, and DEWALT's build quality under heavy use. The main criticism is the price premium relative to what the bare performance specs suggest, with many reviewers noting the kit cost is driven by the battery rather than the driver itself.
