DeWalt 20V MAX Cordless Drill/Driver Kit vs DeWalt 20V MAX 6-Tool Combo Kit

Buy the DCD771C2 drill kit if you need one light drill for home repairs and light building. Buy the six-tool combo kit if you want a full 20V MAX setup for framing, fastening, cutting and sanding. The drill kit is compact at about 2 lb and easy to handle overhead, but its two 1.3 Ah batteries run down quickly and the 300-watt motor is modest. The combo kit is heavier and bulkier, yet it adds brushless motors, a hammer drill, an impact driver, a circular saw, a grinder, a sander and a multi-tool, and its 4.6 rating from over 7,000 owners shows it holds up on real jobs.

• Choose the DeWalt 20V MAX drill/driver kit if you want one compact drill for furniture, shelving and light repairs, and you value a light tool over a full tool set.
• Choose the DeWalt six-tool combo kit if you are outfitting a shop or jobsite and want drilling, driving, cutting, grinding and sanding from one battery platform.
