SKIL CB8437B-10 20V PWRCORE 20 Brushless Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless Drill Driver and Impact Driver Combo Kit vs DeWalt DCK299M2 Hammer Drill and Impact Driver Kit
The DeWalt DCK299M2 is the stronger kit for anyone who drills masonry or works all day: it adds a hammer mode, two 4.0Ah batteries and an all-metal three-speed transmission. The SKIL CB8437B-10 is the lighter, simpler two-tool set for home and light commercial driving, and owners praise its torque, bright lights and fast charging. Reviewers of the SKIL flag one real annoyance: the direction button is easy to bump out of place. DeWalt's XR line has the longer track record for pro durability, but it is heavier and bulkier to carry overhead.
- Choose the SKIL CB8437B-10 if you want a compact drill and impact driver for home repairs and light jobs, and you value low weight and bright onboard lights over hammer drilling.
- Choose the DeWalt DCK299M2 if you drill into brick or concrete, run tools for long stretches, and want two batteries plus a hard case in one kit.
