Just got a tool catalog in the mail and this impact caught my eye.. no model nunber listed (was shown as a stock photo of a kit). Not seen one with the led by the speed selector.

 

Did some searching and cant find it? Anyone seen it?[External image (uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com), not copied]

Looks to be same size as the 887 with the torch of a 996.

guessing no lighting options as that has to be the speed selector for rpms?

i hope this is a fake

Nothing new here.. just a DCF887 with a Flexvolt battery

That led lighting (by the speed selector) isn’t on an 887 though?

This not only has the 887 triple led but the 60 lumen led at the base. If it is the gen 3 impact I would have expected more design changes. This seems fake to me.

Full page of the catalog.. can see the ‘new’ design in 2 different spots.. dont know why they would go to the trouble of faking it? Was thinking stock photo released too early maybe?[External image (uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com), not copied]

It’s fake..

 

They have taken the bottom from the drill so they could show the impact driver with a 9.0 

 

The 1-2-3 is missing from the impact

The use of CGI in advertising isn’t all that uncommon in a lot of industries. Probably just a missed detail on a cut and paste job.
