Which is better for drilling into concrete?

The DeWalt. Its DCD799 is a hammer drill/driver built for masonry, and it is only 6.49 in long. The Craftsman kit lists no hammer mode.

Which has more torque?

The DeWalt impact driver, at 1,700 in-lbs versus 1,460 in-lbs for the Craftsman. The DeWalt also uses brushless motors.

Is the Craftsman worth it for the extra tools?

Yes if you need a saw and light-duty tools and want to spend $199.99 instead of $249.99. The extra tools are brushed and less powerful.

The DeWalt, on paper. Brushless motors and POWERSTACK batteries are rated for more cycles than the Craftsman's brushed motors.

Do the batteries interchange between brands?

No. DeWalt 20V MAX and Craftsman V20 use separate battery platforms, so you stay within one brand.

Which is lighter to carry around?

The DeWalt, at roughly 7-8 lbs versus 15 lbs assembled for the Craftsman kit.

Buy the DeWalt DCK226E2 if you want the strongest, most compact two-tool kit: brushless motors, 1,700 in-lbs of torque, and a 6.49 in hammer drill.
