Is the rotary hammer worth it over a hammer drill?

For concrete anchors, core bits and chipping, yes. A rotary hammer's SDS-Plus mechanism drills masonry far faster than a hammer drill. If you only drill wood, drywall and occasional brick, the drill and impact driver alone are enough.

Do all three tools use the same battery?

Yes. The drill, impact driver and rotary hammer all run on DeWalt 20V MAX batteries, so packs and chargers interchange across the bundle.

How does this compare to the DeWalt Atomic or XR lines?

XR tools are the full-size brushless line with the most power, and Atomic tools are compact versions for tight spaces. This combo's drill and impact driver are full-size brushless tools, so expect more torque but more bulk than Atomic.

What bits does the rotary hammer need?

It uses SDS-Plus shank bits and chisels, not the round-shank bits the drill takes. Budget for a small SDS-Plus bit set if you don't already own one.

When is the best time to buy this bundle?

DeWalt bundles often see deeper discounts around Black Friday, Father's Day and end-of-year clearance. Check the price history on this page to see whether the current price is near its low.

About the DeWalt 20V MAX Drill & Impact Driver Combo Kit & Rotary Hammer Bundle

This bundle pairs DeWalt's 20V MAX brushless drill/driver and impact driver combo kit with a cordless rotary hammer, all sharing the same 20V MAX battery platform. The drill and impact driver cover most drilling and fastening jobs, while the rotary hammer adds concrete and masonry capability that a standard hammer drill handles poorly. Brushless motors on the combo tools mean longer runtime and less maintenance than brushed versions. Bundles like this usually cost less than buying the three tools separately, so compare the bundle against the sum of individual kit prices before buying.

Best forContractors and remodelers who drill and fasten dailyHomeowners tackling concrete anchors or masonryBuyers already on the DeWalt 20V MAX battery platformAnyone replacing a brushed drill and impact driver set

Pros

Brushless motors on the drill and impact driver for efficiency and durability
One 20V MAX battery platform shared across all three tools

Cons

Rotary hammer is heavier and bulkier than a hammer drill for overhead work
SDS-Plus bits and chisels are an extra cost not shared with the drill's chuck
Bundle may include fewer batteries than three tools really need
Rotary hammer is overkill for buyers who only drill wood and drywall

What reviewers say

Owners of DeWalt 20V MAX brushless drills and impact drivers generally report strong torque, good battery life and durable chucks. Rotary hammer users praise concrete drilling performance but note the weight for overhead work.

What people mention

PowerPraisedOwners say the drill and impact driver have enough torque for deck screws and lag bolts.
Battery lifePraisedBrushless motors and 20V packs are reported to run through a full day of light to moderate use.
WeightCriticisedThe rotary hammer is called heavy and awkward when drilling overhead or in tight spaces.
BuildMixedMost owners find the tools durable, but a few report chuck runout or switch issues on the drill.
PlatformPraisedBuyers like that batteries and chargers work across the entire 20V MAX line.
