Bench identifies DeWalt 860 as the leading average finisher and Milwaukee as second in Project Farm’s February 2025 impact-driver comparison. PF Shop also visually checked the original final table: DCF860B averages 1.3, Milwaukee 2.0 and DeWalt Hydraulic 5.7. The hydraulic driver is a comfort-oriented alternative in Bench’s summary; it is not assigned an invented third-place raw average.

Project Farm compared screw-driving and lag-bolt speed, maximum torque, noise, subjective vibration, weight, dimensions and no-load rotational speed. PF Shop read the final source table directly; only its reported average finish is transcribed in this reviewed subset.
This is a historical February 2025 test, not a new PF Shop hands-on review. Average finish covers the selected performance tests and is not a universal quality score. Other products in the source lineup still require exact-model review. Battery and test-configuration differences must be considered before generalizing the result.
