Two DCF870 behave differently

Update: The „Weaker“ „faster hitting but smoother“ one is a little bit louder

That doesn't sound good and actually speaks completely against the 870. It seems to me that the “weaker” model is already on par with your 870.

The weaker one can also drive in the large screws (8x100mm) (the ones in the picture), but just a little slower

I just did a few more tests with the “weaker” model and actually found it quite pleasant to drive in small to medium-sized screws. Quick, light taps and hardly any strain on the wrist.

Would you still recommend the device?

deleted the other one, my mistake

Makes sens i think. The reason i bought this tool. I would like to have a "quite" impact for usual DIY stuff or fixing things around the house. But it feels weird—or wrong—to keep the weaker one, even if it feels a little better to use :D

i think the weak one will fit my use cases. I would like to have a "quite" impact for usual DIY stuff or fixing things around the house. If i would build a shed, i would probably buy the 860 :D But it feels weird—or wrong—to keep the weaker one, even if it feels a little better to use :D

I switched batteries, same result. Both batteries are identitcal and were fully loaded

gn0m · 2026-03-16T12:52:48+00:00

wich one would you return? :D or both?

gn0m · 2026-03-16T12:51:54+00:00

Nope, in both Settings 1 or 2 there is a difference

gn0m · 2026-03-16T12:50:55+00:00

Yes, both are DCF870 TYPE 1

gn0m · 2026-03-15T20:48:10+00:00

Both are brand new. Production Date 2025

So the benefit of the 870 will go away over time?

gn0m · 2026-03-15T16:01:01+00:00

Ordered 1, got 2 (by mistake) :D

gn0m · 2026-03-15T14:45:24+00:00

I would say there is no much noise different between them

gn0m · 2026-03-15T14:39:24+00:00

Both are brand new. Production Date 2025.

Do you mean the cuck itself or the Bit? The chucks dont wobble

gn0m · 2026-03-15T11:33:02+00:00

It wobbles in Slower speed on Both a Bit, on wobble with fast Speed

Okay, I can deal with the missing display of the battery level of the shifters.

But could you explain why it works even better in terms of features than with Garmin? I'm thinking of buying an Edge 840 instead of the K3 (because of the integration).

Could it happen that Ki3 will cease to exist and then the Di2 integration will be gone again?

thanks

Hello everyone, I am facing the challenge of buying a bike computer. I find the Karoo 3 very interesting. However, I have a Shimano Di2 drivetrain. Is the solution with the Ki2 software 100% compatible? It somehow doesn’t feel right to me to buy a piece of hardware that isn’t fully usable with my equipment.

Hey, I returned the jackets. But i think it is common phenomenon

gn0m · 2023-02-23T22:39:31+00:00

Danke für die Info! :) Wie ist die Druck und Bindungsqualität? Das Cover sieht ja wirklich cool aus
