Which is better for a full remodel?

The DCKSS550D3P2. It adds a hammer drill, circular saw, recip saw and multi-tool, which a remodel needs and a single impact driver cannot do.

Is the combo kit worth the extra money?

If you need more than one tool, yes. At $599.00 at Prime Source as of November 3, 2026, it replaces five separate purchases plus four extra batteries and a rolling bag.

Which has more torque?

The DCF887D2 impact driver is rated at 153 ft-lb. The combo kit's DCF845 driver is built for the same driving and fastening work, but the single driver is the compact, torque-focused choice.

Do both use the same 20V MAX batteries?

Yes. Both are DeWalt 20V MAX tools, so batteries and chargers interchange across the two.

Which is easier to carry around?

The DCF887D2. It is one compact tool, while the combo kit travels in a heavy rolling bag with five tools and five batteries.

Which lasts longer on a charge?

The combo kit gives you more total runtime because it ships with five batteries, two of them 5Ah. The single driver runs on its included pack until you recharge.
