DeWalt 20V MAX 4-Tool Combo Kit vs DeWalt 20V MAX 2-Tool Combo Kit DCK224C2

Buy the 4-tool kit if you want the widest range of jobs covered out of one bag: drill, impact wrench, recip saw and light, with two batteries. Buy the 2-tool ATOMIC kit if you mostly drill and cut flush, and you want the newer brushless drill in a smaller body. The 4-tool kit wins on breadth and value per tool. The 2-tool kit wins on drill quality, compact size and motor type. Owners of the 4-tool kit praise the batteries and the saw; the common complaint is the brushed drill and the impact wrench's size. ATOMIC owners like the short drill and the multi-tool's control, but two tools cover less ground.

• Choose the DeWalt 20V MAX 4-Tool Combo Kit if you want a full starter set for framing, demo and fastening, and you would rather have four tools than two.
• Choose the DeWalt 20V MAX 2-Tool Kit (DCK224C2) if drilling and flush cutting are your main jobs and you want the compact brushless drill.
