Which is better for home use?

Either works. The V20 Brushless 2-Tool Kit is the better value at its recent $99.99 low if you already have V20 batteries. The CMCK211C2 is the simpler buy if you want everything in one box.

Do both have brushless motors?

Yes. Both list brushless motors, so runtime and motor life should be similar.

Which has better batteries?

The CMCK211C2 lists two 1.7 Ah batteries, which are compact and light but drain faster. The V20 kit says multiple batteries but does not state capacity.

Is the CMCK211C2 worth the extra?

Only if you need the included case and two batteries. If you already own V20 batteries, the cheaper V20 Brushless kit covers the same two tools.

Both are brushless, so motor life is comparable. Battery life favors whichever kit has the larger Ah packs, and the CMCK211C2's 1.7 Ah cells are on the small side.

Can I use the same batteries in both?

Yes. Both are Craftsman V20 tools, so V20 lithium-ion batteries and chargers work across the two kits.

Craftsman V20 Brushless 2-Tool Cordless Drill & Impact Driver Kit vs Craftsman CMCK211C2 V20 Cordless Combo Kit

Both are Craftsman V20 brushless two-tool kits, so the choice comes down to price and batteries. The V20 Brushless 2-Tool Kit has ranged from $99.99 to $129.00 recently, while the CMCK211C2 is the older brushed-style kit name with 1.7 Ah batteries and a case. Buy the cheaper one if you just need a drill and impact driver around the house; pay more only if you want the case and two compact batteries.
