PORTER-CABLE 20V MAX Drill & Impact Driver Kit vs Porter-Cable 20V Drill/Impact Combo Kit

These are the same Porter-Cable 20V MAX drill and impact driver pair, so the tools themselves are a tie. The difference is the listing: Product A is a 2-tool kit with a 6-1/2 in circular saw, recip saw and flashlight in the box, while Product B is the bare drill/impact kit. Buy A if you want a full starter set from one battery platform. Buy B if you already own 20V MAX tools or only need drilling and driving. Owners on both sides praise the power and durability, but the most common complaint is batteries that arrive dead or won't charge, so check the date code and test the charger on day one.

• Choose the PORTER-CABLE Power Tool Combo Kit if you want a circular saw, recip saw and flashlight alongside the drill and impact driver, all on one 20V MAX battery.
• Choose the Porter-Cable 20V Drill/Impact Driver Combo Kit if you already run 20V MAX batteries or only need the two core tools and want the simplest kit.
