Metabo HPT 18V MultiVolt Driver Drill Kit vs Metabo HPT KC18DDX 18V Drill and Impact Kit

Both kits share the same 485 in-lb brushless drill, 1.5 Ah batteries and charger, so the drill half is a tie. The KC18DDX adds an impact driver rated at 1,240 in-lbs, 3,200 RPM and 4,000 IPM, which is the tool most owners reach for on screws and lag bolts. Buy the KC18DDX for general fastening and driving; pick the MultiVolt Sub-Compact kit only if you want the drill alone in the smallest package and will add an impact driver separately.

• Choose the Metabo HPT 18V MultiVolt Sub-Compact kit if you mainly drill and drive light screws and want the smallest, lightest single-tool setup.
• Choose the Metabo HPT KC18DDX if you want a drill and a high-torque impact driver in one kit for framing, decking and heavy fastening.
