Which kit is better for a two-person crew?

The DCKSS550D3P2. Five batteries let two people run tools all day without waiting on the DCB107 charger, and the rolling bag carries the whole set.

Is the 6-tool kit worth the savings?

At $529.00 at Home Depot as of October 28, 2026 it costs $70 less than the 5-tool kit at $599.00 at Prime Source as of November 3, 2026. You get one more tool and a ToughSystem case but three fewer batteries.

Which has better storage?

The 6-tool kit. Its ToughSystem case stacks with other ToughSystem boxes and protects tools better than the soft rolling bag on the 5-tool kit.

Do both use the same 20V MAX batteries?

Yes. Both are DeWalt 20V MAX lithium-ion kits, so batteries and chargers interchange across the tools in either kit.

Which is better for drilling and sanding?

The 6-tool kit lists sanding and drilling as its intended applications and includes a multi-tool for sanding. The 5-tool kit covers drilling with a hammer drill and also has a 3-speed oscillating multi-tool.

Which lasts longer on a charge?

The 5-tool kit, because it ships with five batteries including two 5Ah packs. The 6-tool kit has only two batteries, so you will recharge sooner.
