DeWalt 20V MAX XR Hammer Drill/Impact Combo Kit vs DeWalt DCK299M2 Hammer Drill and Impact Driver Kit
Both kits pair a brushless hammer drill with a 1,825 in-lb impact driver and two 4.0Ah batteries, so the real split is the drill. The DCK299M2's DCD996 is the older premium drill: 3-speed all-metal transmission, 38,250 BPM and a 3-mode LED. The DCK250QQ2's DCD806 is the newer drill with a faster 2,000 rpm top speed and a more compact body. Owners of both report strong torque and long battery life; the DCD996 is heavier and bulkier, the DCD806 trades the third gear for size. Buy the DCK250QQ2 for a lighter, newer drill; buy the DCK299M2 if you want the proven 3-speed drill and a hard case.
- Choose the DeWalt DCK250QQ2 if you want the newer, more compact DCD806 hammer drill with a faster top speed and a soft bag that packs small.
- Choose the DeWalt DCK299M2 if you want the proven 3-speed DCD996 drill with an all-metal transmission, more blows per minute and a hard case.
