SKIL CB8437B-10 20V PWRCORE 20 Brushless Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless Drill Driver and Impact Driver Combo Kit vs DeWalt 20V Drill/Driver Combo Kit

The DeWalt kit is the safer pick for most shoppers: it ships with two batteries, a contractor bag and a brushed motor that has been proven on job sites for years, and its 5,186 ratings show far more owner experience behind that 4.7 score. The SKIL kit counters with a brushless motor, a 1,800 in-lb impact driver and a compact body that is easier to work overhead, but it includes only one battery and no case. Buy the DeWalt for a two-battery, all-day kit; buy the SKIL if you want brushless efficiency and a stronger impact driver in a smaller package.

• Choose the SKIL PWRCORE 20 combo if you want a brushless drill and a high-torque compact impact driver, and you can live with one battery and no case.
• Choose the DeWalt 20V combo if you want two batteries, a storage bag and a long track record of owner reviews behind the kit.
