DeWalt 20V MAX 2-Tool Combo Kit vs Craftsman V20 2-Tool Combo Kit
The DeWalt DCK240C2 is the better kit for anyone who will use these tools hard. Its drill has a 2-speed transmission and 15 clutch settings, and the impact driver is rated at 1,400 in-lbs of torque. Craftsman's V20 kit is a solid, simpler set for light home work, but it gives up speed control and torque headroom. Owners of the DeWalt praise the torque and the two batteries plus charger, though some report short runtime and a broken bit retainer on the driver.
- Choose the DeWalt 20V MAX kit if you want a proven drill and impact driver pair with a 2-speed drill, 15 clutch settings and strong fastening torque for jobsite and heavy home use.
- Choose the Craftsman V20 kit if you want a straightforward drill and impact driver set for light drilling, assembly and repairs around the house.
