DeWalt 20V MAX 6-Tool Combo Kit vs Craftsman 20V Max 6-Tool Combo Kit

The DeWalt DCK694P2 is the stronger kit for daily jobsite work: brushless motors, a 7-1/4 in. circular saw, a hammer drill with a 3-speed transmission and a 1,825 in-lb impact driver. The Craftsman kit is brushed, uses a smaller 5-3/8 in. saw, and its impact driver tops out at 1,460 in-lbs, but it adds a jigsaw and a sander where DeWalt gives a work light. Owners rate the DeWalt highly; the Craftsman suits light to moderate home and trade use.

• Choose the DeWalt DCK694P2 if you want brushless tools, a full-size circular saw and a hammer drill for framing, decking and heavy fastening.
• Choose the Craftsman 20V Max 6-Tool Kit if you want a jigsaw and sander in the box and mostly cut and fasten lighter material.
