DeWalt DCK277D2 Drill/Impact Combo Kit vs SKIL CB8437B-10 20V PWRCORE 20 Brushless Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless Drill Driver and Impact Driver Combo Kit
Both kits pair a brushless drill with a brushless impact driver, so the choice comes down to batteries and torque. The DeWalt DCK277D2 ships with two 20V batteries, which keeps one tool running while the other charges, and its impact driver is rated at 1,500 in-lbs. The SKIL CB8437B-10 includes one battery but a stronger 1,800 in-lbs impact driver and a charger with mobile charging. Owners rate both highly; the common SKIL complaint is a direction button that is easy to bump. Buy DeWalt for two-battery uptime and a contractor bag; buy SKIL for more driving torque and a lighter impact driver.
- Choose the DeWalt DCK277D2 if you want two batteries in the kit, a contractor bag, and a proven 20V MAX platform you can add bare tools to.
- Choose the SKIL CB8437B-10 if you want the higher-torque impact driver and a charger that can top up your phone on site.
