Questions and answers
- Which kit is better for drilling into concrete?
- The DeWalt. Its DCD806 is a hammer drill with 340 unit watts out. The Bosch kit's drill/driver has no hammer mode, so it is for wood, metal and plastic.
- Which has the stronger impact driver?
- The Bosch on paper: 1,800 in.-lbs. versus 1,500 in.-lbs. for the DeWalt DCF860. The Bosch also lists 3,400 rpm and 4,000 impacts per minute.
- Is the DeWalt kit worth $220 more?
- Only if you need the third tool and the FLEXVOLT battery. For drilling and driving alone, the Bosch kit at $179 does the same core jobs for less.
- Which is easier to carry around?
- The Bosch. It weighs 2.3 lbs tool only and comes in a soft bag. The DeWalt kit carries three tools and three batteries.
- Which has more battery capacity in the box?
- The DeWalt: a FLEXVOLT DCB606 plus DCB206 and DCB204 batteries. The Bosch includes two 18V 2.0 Ah batteries.
- Should I wait for a Bosch price drop?
- It already fell to $149 on October 30 before rising to $199.99 on November 2. The DeWalt has held at $399.00 since November 1.
