Can the DCK227D2 drill into concrete?

No. It is a drill/driver with no hammer mode. For brick or concrete, get the DCK2050M2, which has a 3-mode hammer drill.

Is the DCK2050M2 worth the extra money?

If you drill masonry or run tools all day, yes. The hammer mode and 4.0Ah batteries are the main reasons. For wood and metal only, the DCK227D2 does the job for less.

Which kit has more torque?

The DCK2050M2 impact driver, at 1,825 in-lb versus 1,700 in-lb. The gap is small in practice.

Which is better for tight spaces?

The DCK2050M2. Its ATOMIC impact driver is under 4 in. long, against 5.15 in. for the DCK227D2 driver.

How long do the batteries last?

The DCK2050M2's 4.0Ah packs hold roughly twice the charge of the DCK227D2's 2.0Ah packs, so expect about double the runtime per charge under the same load.

Do both kits include a charger and case?

Yes. Both come with a charger and a bag, plus two batteries.
