DEWALT DCK299D1W1 Drill Combo Kit vs DeWalt 20V MAX 6-Tool Combo Kit

Buy the DCK299D1W1 if drilling and driving are the job and you want the strongest drill of the two. Its DCD998 hammer drill with the 8.0Ah battery is the more powerful tool, and the impact driver is compact and light. The six-tool kit wins on breadth: a circular saw, grinder, sander and oscillating multi-tool cover cutting, grinding and finishing that the two-tool kit cannot touch. Build is comparable across both, but the six-tool kit's tools are the lower-spec versions and it carries a 3-year limited warranty. Owners rate the two-tool kit higher, though on far fewer ratings.

• Choose the DEWALT DCK299D1W1 if you mostly drill and drive, work in masonry, and want the strongest hammer drill and a light impact driver in one bag.
• Choose the DEWALT six-tool combo kit if you need to cut, grind, sand and trim as well as drill, and want one battery platform to cover a whole project.
