Kobalt 24V Brushless 2-Tool Combo Kit vs Kobalt 24V Impact Driver Combo

Both kits are Kobalt 24V brushless two-tool sets built on the same battery platform, so the real split is power and control. The 2 Tool Combo Kit #0672827 gives you the stronger drill (650 in-lbs, 23-position clutch) and a three-mode impact driver with self-tap and finish modes, which suits deck and cabinet work. The Impact Driver Combo is lighter and faster on the driver side (3,500 RPM) but its drill tops out at 500 in-lbs with a 17-position clutch, so it favors driving-heavy jobs. Owners of Kobalt 24V tools generally praise the brushless motors and the five-year tool warranty; the common complaint is that one 2.0Ah battery in a two-tool kit runs out fast.

• Choose the Kobalt 24V MAX Brushless 2 Tool Combo Kit if you drill as much as you drive and want the higher-torque drill, 23-position clutch and self-tap/finish modes.
• Choose the Kobalt 24V 1/4-inch Impact Driver Combo if most of your work is driving screws and you want the faster 3,500 RPM driver in a lighter kit.
