DEWALT 20V MAX Drill & Impact Combo Kit vs DeWalt 20V Max Drill and Impact Driver Kit

Both kits are 20V MAX brushless DeWalt two-tool sets with two batteries, a charger and a contractor bag, so the real split is the drill and driver inside. The DCK248D2 pairs a 1/2 in ratcheting-chuck drill with a compact impact driver rated for higher fastening torque, and its 3-speed drill gives finer control for hole sizes and materials. The DCK277D2 (DCD777 drill plus DCF787 impact driver) is the lighter, shorter-bodied set, with a 15-position clutch and a drill head around 5.9 in for tight spaces. Owners of both lines praise runtime and the brushless motors; the DCK277D2 carries a strong 4.6 rating across thousands of reviews. Buy the DCK248D2 for heavier drilling and driving, the DCK277D2 for compact, all-around home and trade work.

• Choose the DEWALT DCK248D2 if you want the more powerful drill and impact driver for heavier drilling, long screws and mixed job-site work.
• Choose the DeWalt DCK277D2 if you want a lighter, shorter kit that fits into tight spaces and covers everyday drilling and driving.
