Yes, they can be swapped out. The 4 amp charger will charge the battery faster than the 2 amp charger, but both chargers will work with both batteries.
It was assembled rather than manufactured. There is a significant distinction.

I did a lot of research and this driver came up first on a lot of lists, so I was disappointed with it. The product has a serious flaw in terms of woodworking. There is zero torque on the first setting. Even soft lumber is too difficult for it to drive a 1" wood screw into, and it bogs down halfway through. There is plenty of torque on the 2 setting. For simple wood screws, it's way too much. It's difficult to keep track of depth. The one setting appears to be for extremely fine screws or delicate work. I'm not sure why I'd use this driver for something so delicate. br>This is an excellent product for lag bolts, heavy deck screws, machine bolts, and other similar applications, but it fails miserably in woodworking applications. More torque is required for the first setting so that the torque gap between the first and second settings is narrowed. The first one I ordered was returned because I thought there was a problem with it, and the second one is the same. I only gave it two stars because, as other reviewers have stated, it is excellent for heavy work. I'm still on the fence about returning it.
The majority of the time, I use this tool to drive 2 1/2 inch screws. In treated wood, 3" deck screws are used. We construct access ramps for handicapped people who have trouble entering and exiting their homes. On this type of application, this driver comes into its own. In comparison to older DeWalt drills that used heavier NiCad batteries, it is extremely light. Our jobs last between 3 and 4 hours on average, and the 2-hour jobs are the most common. The amphr battery is a good performer. I rarely need to change out my pack during a work session if I start with a fully charged one. Unless you have a pressing need for a longer run, the smaller, lighter 2-pounder is the way to go. Over the heavier 3 and 4-packs, amp has a significant advantage. Ah units. The lighter weight tool is critical for those of us over 70. A full charge takes approximately one hour using the included charger. The drill has enough torque to handle almost any common drilling/fastening job that it can handle. The 887 isn't meant to take the place of a high-end car. However, after the lug nuts have been broken loose or finished with a lug wrench, the torque impact wrench will run them in and out. The impact driver's durability and battery life will be determined over time, but I would strongly recommend it.
After almost three years of use (as I mentioned, a LOT of use! ), his old DeWalt impact drill began sparking and smoking one day. ) despite the fact that the darned thing clung to life. I decided to surprise him with a new three-speed drill that he'd been eyeing for the past year, and the old drill now has enough life to be used around the house for small jobs. DeWalt is a fantastic brand!! One thing the description fails to mention is the coolest feature he was looking forward to. The new batteries are equipped with a charge indicator! It's no longer necessary to guess whether the battery is fully charged or nearing the end of its life. So cool! And this thing has a lot of power! It's a big hit with him. And the cheapest I could find it for is $199 (they were $299 when we first started looking at them, which tells you how long he's wanted one!). lol! ) but Amazon had such a great deal that I couldn't pass it up; it was almost $20 cheaper. This drill is ideal. br>He strongly advises you to use it.
I don't mean to disparage DeWalt, but I preferred a driver that was a tad less powerful. To assist you in making your decision, you can watch all of the YouTube videos that compare Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita, and other brands. All three of the aforementioned items receive high marks. br>br>I went with this DeWalt because it has three speeds and three LED lights. It has completed all of the tasks that my Milkwaukee M18 Fuel driver has completed so far. But I'm a do-it-yourselfer, so I don't need to put 10" lags in a 6x6. br>br>This takes care of a 3. Easily drive a 5" construction screw through a 1x, drywall, and into the wall stud. My 9-year-old son can drill holes and screw things in without feeling overwhelmed when using power speed 1. It's been a joy to watch him use power tools in a safe manner. M18 is too powerful even at speed 1. Both drivers have variable speed control that is activated via a trigger. On this XR, I generally use speed 2. br>br>The three LED lights from DeWalt outperform everything else. There is no shadow to be found. The attack's focal point is distinct and visible. This LED array should be copied by all makers. Copy the LED lights by putting your tail between your legs. br>br>It's a joy to use the one-handed collet. Pull the collet down with one hand, the bit ejects a little and is released, then pull the bit out with the same hand. LOVE IT, ONE HAND! My M18 requires no hands on occasion because it has a collet issue where it fails to lock and the bit falls out on its own; otherwise, use one hand to pull the collet down and the other hand to pull the bit out. Not this DeWalt!! br>br>This kit is also fantastic. Two batteries are included in the hard case. They're also two. Rather than the cheapo 1, 0ah. 3 or 1. The cheapest sales are associated with the number five. br>br>Once again, the YouTube comparison videos will assist you in making your final decision. To work alongside my M18 Fuel driver, I believe this was an excellent purchase. I just wanted to call attention to a couple of features that I'm finding to be more enjoyable than I anticipated.
On November 3, 2019, I purchased this item. It's not something I've used in a long time. Not more than ten times per year. So, I'm writing a review today because one of the two batteries is completely dead? Even though the battery is in the terminal, the charger will not detect it. I tested the battery in the drill that is still functional, and it is still functional, plus the battery terminal is capable of changing the battery. br>br>I have no idea how this happens. I've taken excellent care of this drill and will continue to do so. br>I suppose I'm more dissatisfied because I've only used it a few times. Since I got it, I don't think I've had to charge both batteries more than twice. Now I'm either going to have to buy a new one or call Dewalt and see if they'll replace the dead battery: br>br>.
As a contractor, I've been using the driver for nearly six months. It's a capable small driver, but I wish the batteries were larger. Later on, I had to purchase larger batteries, leaving the small two. Batteries, oh how useless they are. I agree with other reviews that the batteries do not fit snugly into the slot and that the low power mode is inadequate. Aside from that, it's still a very useful driver, with plenty of power and a small size.
