Which kit is better for drilling and driving only?

The 2-tool kit. Its DCD1007 is DeWalt's most powerful 20V MAX hammer drill, and the DCF845 matches the DCF887's 1,825 in-lbs. You also pay $299 instead of $648.95.

Is the 6-tool kit worth the extra money?

Only if you need the circular saw, recip saw and multi-tool soon. Bought as bare tools, those three usually cost more than the $350 gap between the kits, so the 6-tool kit makes sense for full jobsite work.

Which has better batteries?

The 2-tool kit. It includes a 4Ah and an 8Ah POWERPACK; the 6-tool kit includes two 5.0Ah batteries. The 8Ah gives the longest single-battery runtime.

Which is easier to carry around?

The 2-tool kit at 13.73 lbs. The 6-tool kit's package weight is 29 lbs, so it stays in the truck more often.

Do both have brushless motors?

The 2-tool kit is brushless throughout. The 6-tool kit's description says brushless, but its spec sheet lists a brushed motor type, so confirm before buying.

The 6-tool kit states a 3-year warranty; the 2-tool kit's listing does not state one. Both use the same 20V MAX battery platform, so batteries and bare tools interchange.
