Which is better for drilling concrete?

The DCK2101QQ1WW1. Its DCD1007 hammer drill is DeWalt's most powerful 20V MAX hammer drill at 2,100 in-lbs, and the 8Ah battery keeps it running. The DCK226E2's DCD799 handles light masonry but has less power.

Which one lasts longer on a charge?

The DCK2101QQ1WW1. Its 8Ah battery is rated for up to 275 7/8-in auger holes per charge in 1-1/2-in fir. The DCK226E2's 1.7Ah batteries are much smaller and need frequent swaps in heavy work.

Is the DCK226E2 worth the savings?

Yes if your work is light to medium: cabinets, framing, small anchors and overhead jobs. You save about $54 at current prices and carry a much lighter kit. For all-day drilling or big holes, the extra money for the DCK2101QQ1WW1 pays off.

Which is better for tight spaces?

The DCK226E2. Its DCD799 hammer drill has a 6.49 in head length, DeWalt's shortest 20V MAX hammer drill, so it fits between studs and inside cabinets where the DCD1007 will not.

Do both kits include batteries and a charger?

Yes. The DCK2101QQ1WW1 includes a 4Ah and an 8Ah POWERPACK battery plus a charger. The DCK226E2 includes two 1.7Ah POWERSTACK batteries plus a charger. Both come with a contractor bag.

Which has more torque in the impact driver?

The DCK2101QQ1WW1. Its DCF845 delivers up to 1,825 in-lbs and 3,400 RPM with 3 speeds. The DCK226E2's DCF809 delivers up to 1,700 in-lbs.
