Overview
The DEWALT DCF860WW1 shares the DCF860 platform's 3800 RPM speed with the tool-only DCF860B but comes in at $319.00, a premium that almost certainly reflects a bundled kit including batteries, charger, and possibly a carrying case. The W1 suffix in DEWALT's nomenclature typically signals a kit configuration. For buyers who need to start from zero on the 20V MAX platform, the higher upfront cost may be justified by what is included.
At 3.4 kilograms the DCF860WW1 is heavier than the bare DCF860B at 2.8 pounds (approximately 1.3 kg), a discrepancy that almost certainly reflects the weight of the complete kit package rather than the tool alone. The 3800 RPM speed matches the fastest impact drivers in this category, equal to what the tool-only DCF860B offers.
With 112 reviews and zero monthly purchases, the DCF860WW1 has a relatively thin sales history. The 4.7-star average is strong, consistent with DEWALT's platform-wide quality, but buyers should compare carefully against the DCF860B before paying the $199 premium. Unless the included accessories are needed, the bare tool delivers the same core performance at a fraction of the price.
Pros
- 3800 RPM speed matches the top tier of the 20V impact driver class
- 4.7-star rating consistent with DEWALT's quality track record
- Likely includes batteries and charger for a ready-to-use kit
- DEWALT 20V MAX battery platform with broad ecosystem compatibility
Cons
- At $319.00 it is the most expensive impact driver in this category by a wide margin
- The bare-tool DCF860B at $119.99 offers the same 3800 RPM for $200 less
- 112 reviews and zero monthly purchases indicate very limited buyer traction at this price

Performance notes
Battery-powered at 20V with 3800 RPM no-load speed. The 3.4-kilogram weight listed reflects the full kit package, not the tool alone. No amperage or torque is specified. The 3800 RPM speed tier suits high-frequency fastening, lag bolt driving, and production-volume work where cycle speed matters. Buyers on DEWALT's 20V MAX system will be able to share batteries across the full lineup.
What buyers say
Owners rating the DCF860WW1 at 4.7 stars report satisfaction in line with DEWALT's broader impact driver reputation. Given the kit pricing, buyers in this review pool appear to be platform newcomers or those replacing a full aging kit. No major complaints surface in the review base, but the sample of 112 is modest for a premium-priced tool.

Frequently asked questions
What is included with the DEWALT DCF860WW1?
Based on the WW1 suffix and $319.00 price, this is almost certainly a kit including the DCF860 impact driver, one or more 20V MAX batteries, and a charger. Confirm the exact contents in the product listing before purchasing.
Is the DCF860WW1 worth $200 more than the DCF860B?
Both run at 3800 RPM with 4.7-star ratings. The DCF860B at $119.99 is tool-only. If you need batteries and a charger, the kit cost of the WW1 may be competitive with buying them separately. If you already own 20V MAX batteries, the DCF860B is the better value.
