DEWALT DCK277D2 Drill & Impact Driver Kit vs Bosch 18V 2-Tool Brushless Combo Kit

Both kits are brushless two-tool sets with two batteries, a charger and a bag, so the choice comes down to the drill. The DeWalt DCD777 is a compact drill/driver with a 1/2 in keyless chuck and 15 clutch settings; the Bosch drill/driver adds an all-metal chuck and electronic cell and motor protection. DeWalt's 20V MAX line is the larger battery platform, with FLEXVOLT batteries that extend runtime, and owners praise the compact size and LED delay. Bosch's kit is ETL listed and includes two belt clips, but its 18V platform is smaller. Buy the DeWalt for the widest battery and accessory ecosystem; buy the Bosch if you want an all-metal chuck and overload protection on the drill.

• Choose the DeWalt DCK277D2 if you want the bigger 20V MAX battery platform and a compact drill/driver and impact driver that share it.
• Choose the Bosch GXL18V-240B22 if an all-metal chuck and electronic cell and motor protection on the drill matter more to you than platform size.
