- Is the DeWalt ATOMIC kit worth it over a single drill?
- If you drill into brick or concrete as well as wood and metal, the second tool earns its place. If you only drive screws indoors, a single compact drill covers it.
- How does it compare with DeWalt XR drills?
- ATOMIC tools are shorter and lighter but less powerful. XR drills have more torque and take larger batteries, at more weight and length.
- Can I use larger DeWalt 20V batteries in these tools?
- Yes. Both tools accept the 20V MAX packs, including 4Ah and 5Ah sizes, which give longer runtime at more weight.
- What is in the box?
- The kit includes the 1/2 in. drill/driver, the 1/2 in. hammer drill, two 2Ah batteries, a charger and a carrying case.
- Does the hammer drill replace a rotary hammer?
- No. It drills small holes in brick and block, but for repeated or large holes in concrete a corded or cordless rotary hammer is the right tool.
- Are the chucks keyless?
- Yes. Both tools use keyless 1/2 in. chucks, so bits change by hand.
- Where is the Dewalt ATOMIC 20-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Compact 1/2 in. Drill/Driver Kit and 1/2 in. Hammer Drill with 2Ah Battery & Charger cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $348.00, as of our latest check.
