Is the DCK227D2 worth it over a cheaper brushed kit?

Yes, if you use the tools regularly. Brushless motors last longer and get more work from each charge, and the compact bodies reach places brushed drills of this class often can't.

How does it compare with DeWalt's larger combo kits?

Larger kits add a third tool and bigger batteries, which means more runtime and more job coverage. This kit is smaller, lighter and easier to carry, but you give up that extra tool and capacity.

Are the 2.0Ah batteries enough?

For drilling, driving and light remodeling, yes. For all-day framing or heavy fastening, plan on larger 20V MAX batteries, which fit both tools.

Does it work with other DeWalt 20V MAX batteries?

Yes. Both tools and the charger accept the full DeWalt 20V MAX lithium-ion line, so larger packs work without adapters.

The DCD793 drill/driver, the DCF840 impact driver, two 2.0Ah batteries, a charger, two belt hooks and a contractor kit bag. Bits and drill bits are not included.

Is the impact driver too powerful for home use?

It has a variable speed trigger, so you can feather it for small screws. Its 1,700 in-lbs is best saved for lag bolts and deck screws.

What reviewers say

Owners of DeWalt's compact 20V MAX brushless tools generally praise the short bodies, the light weight and the impact driver's power for their size. The common complaint is battery runtime with the small 2.0Ah packs, and some wish the kit included a third tool.

What people mention

SizePraisedOwners like how short and light both tools are, which helps in cabinets and between joists.
Impact powerPraisedThe DCF840 is described as driving long fasteners with little effort for its size.
Battery runtimeCriticisedThe 2.0Ah packs are seen as running out fast on bigger drilling and driving jobs.
Build qualityPraisedBrushless motors and chucks are reported to hold up well with regular use.

About the DEWALT 20V MAX* Brushless Cordless 2-Tool Combo Kit with (2) 2.0Ah Batteries and Bag DCK227D2

This kit pairs the DCD793 1/2-inch drill/driver with the DCF840 1/4-inch impact driver. Both tools run on 20V MAX batteries and use brushless motors, which extend motor life and give more runtime per charge than brushed motors. It comes with two 2.0Ah lithium-ion batteries, a charger and a contractor kit bag.

The DCD793 drill is 6.38 inches long, more than 2 inches shorter than its predecessors, and delivers 16% more power in that smaller size. It has 15 clutch settings and two speed ranges: 0-450 and 0-1,650 RPM with no load. The DCF840 impact driver produces 1,700 in-lbs of torque and runs at 0-3,200 RPM with no load.

Both tools have a variable speed trigger and an integrated LED work light for dimly lit job sites.
