DeWalt DCD793D1 20V Drill/Driver Kit vs DeWalt 20V MAX Drill & Impact Combo Kit

Buy the DCD793D1 if you want one strong, compact brushless drill. It has more torque (404 UWO vs 300 UWO), a faster top speed (1,650 vs 1,500 RPM), a shorter head, and a brushless motor that runs cooler and lasts longer. Buy the combo kit if you also need an impact driver for driving long screws and lag bolts, since one drill cannot do that job well. Owners rate the combo kit 4.6 out of 5, and the common complaint on both is the small batteries.

• Choose the DCD793D1 if you want the better single drill: more power, a brushless motor and a compact body for cabinet and overhead work.
• Choose the 20V MAX combo kit if you need an impact driver as well as a drill and want two tools and two batteries in one bag.
