    If you miss this deal, the DCF850 usually sells for $169 and free shipping from https://www.i-tools.co.nz/products/dewalt-impact-driver-14-b…

    • They also have a lower spec model, the DCF787 for $89

    Dewalt sold by itools are "20v" imported from US. They are not NZ version and do not have NZ official warranty. They said they offer 3 year warranty in their store. Might only suit local buyers.

    • I suspect DeWalt NZ would not honour the warranty for items bought through i-tools; however, you should still be protected under the Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA).

        I-tools send you a prepaid courier ticket to send faulty tools back with. Granted i've not had to send any back, i've been getting tools off them for YEARS. You just deal with i-tools for any warranty repairs.

    • Genuine question: how can an item exported from the US by an importer who paid a tariff on it be cheaper than one imported directly to NZ?
      Baffled by the state of the world these days.
      Or are they imported from the US's neighbours? Or US models diverted before reaching those shores?

      (Thanks OP - good deal)

      • What tariff are you referring to?

        • I assumed, incorrectly it turns out, that enough of a given unit would have been sourced from Asia to increase US prices significantly recently. Wikipedia and pdevonporf set that straight.

      • Because it is easy without having to do advertising, manage the franchise, manage warranty claims, and stock parts, which makes overheads minimal. The Dewalt power tools. in New Zealand are source directly from China unlike the American model, which is assembled in US. I have a grinder from i tools it doesn't say made in US. It just has US amongst other icons and is 20 V which is the reference to the batteries, maximum power but not operating power which is 18 V

        • Yes. 20v is pure marketing. It just refers to the max voltage when fully charged. Both 18v and 20v pack have identical number of cells in series (5s)

        • You can't buy direct from Dewalt, so any repairs you take it back to the shop and they deal with Dewalt. With I-Tools, they do it all in house and even send you a courier ticket to send the faulty tool back to them. You say they don't have to manage warranty claims which is why overheads are minimal, but they do handle warranty claims…

          • @Fragluton: When I said warranty claims it was that DeWalt has such a large inventory compared to I-Tools, which has a selected inventory and not about the lack of warranty. That's the difference between parallel import, and large corporate brands.

      • Don't forget to upvote if you like the deal

  • umm, i have a Makita DTD153, this seems to be slightly better - 205Nm, 3 Mode select, $142.50 is very tempting

      Difference doesn't look like much. Unless your current unit doesn't do the job you need, I wouldn't bother.

    Thanks for sharing this one, that's an incredible deal. I work for an electrical company so shared in our work chat and emailed to some builders we work with too. Sorry Mitre10!! 😂

  • Is this compact type driver as handy as the standard ones? Your hand will have to be very close to the object that you work on, won't it?

    • I guess it depends on what you're using it for.
      The compact design is shorter, so it fits into tighter spaces, but it’s a bit wider, so you can’t get quite as close to perpendicular surfaces.
      There’s enough clearance for your hand, and the bit usually adds another 1 to 2 inches.

  • Thanks OP, grabbed one.

  • Thanks OP, new to power tools and just seen the prices for batteries..any tips to get them cheaper? Is 2ah ok for odd jobs?

    • +1

      Yes, I think the 2Ah should be fine for the odd job.
      Check out i-tools for cheap batteries. They’re parallel imported, so they’ll say 20V instead of 18V, but they’re the same thing.
      The best way to get batteries is usually by buying kits or through DeWalt redemption offers. That’s how I got my batteries.

      • Thank you :)
