DeWalt 20V MAX XR Drill/Driver DCD800P1 vs DeWalt 20V MAX XR Brushless Drill/Driver Kit

Both are the same 20V MAX XR brushless drill/driver platform, so the real split is the battery and the safety electronics. The DCD800P1 kit ships with a standard DCB205 5.0 Ah pack and a kit bag; the POWERSTACK kit ships with the compact DCBP520 5.0 Ah pack and adds the ANTI-ROTATION System that cuts the tool off on a hard bind. Owners of both praise the compact 6.37 in. head, the 2,000 rpm top speed and the 3-position LED. Buy the POWERSTACK kit if you want the anti-kickback protection and a lighter pack; buy the DCD800P1 kit if you want the belt hook, bag and the battery you can share across an existing 20V MAX collection.

• Choose the DCD800P1 if you want the standard DCB205 5.0 Ah battery, belt hook and kit bag, and you already run a fleet of 20V MAX packs.
• Choose the POWERSTACK kit if anti-kickback shutoff and a lighter, denser battery matter more to you than a bag and belt hook.
