SKIL CB8437B-10 20V PWRCORE 20 Brushless Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless Drill Driver and Impact Driver Combo Kit vs DeWalt 20V MAX 3-Tool Combo Kit

Buy the DeWalt kit if you want three tools and two batteries. The oscillating multi-tool adds cutting, sanding and scraping that the SKIL kit cannot do, and the second battery keeps you working while one charges. Buy the SKIL kit if you want a lighter two-tool setup for drilling and driving, with a drill that owners say has strong torque. The DeWalt drill is the weaker of the two on paper at 340 UWO, and the SKIL impact driver's 1,800 in-lbs is close to the DeWalt's 1,825. Owners of the SKIL praise the bright lights and fast charging but complain the direction button bumps out of place easily.

• Choose the SKIL combo kit if you mostly drill and drive, want a compact kit that is easier to handle overhead, and do not need a multi-tool.
• Choose the DeWalt three-tool kit if you want a multi-tool for cutting and sanding, a spare battery, and a carry bag in one purchase.
