  • Our take on the DEWALT ATOMIC 20V MAX* Cordless Drill Combo Kit, Compact (DCK278C2)

    The DeWalt Atomic 20V MAX Cordless Drill Combo Kit (DCK278C2) pairs a compact drill/driver with a matching impact driver, both built on DeWalt's 20V MAX battery platform. The Atomic line is shorter and lighter than DeWalt's full-size XR tools, so it fits into tight spaces and overhead work with less fatigue. Reviewers often call it a strong first combo kit or a handy second set for finish work. Against rivals like Makita's sub-compact and Milwaukee's M12 Fuel, it trades a little peak power for the convenience of sharing batteries with other 20V MAX tools.

    Best forHomeowners and DIYers who want one battery platform for drill and impact drivingElectricians and finish carpenters working in cabinets and tight framingAnyone already on DeWalt's 20V MAX battery systemBuyers who prefer a lighter, shorter drill over a full-size hammer drill
    Pros
    • Compact, short body fits between studs and inside cabinets
    • Two tools cover drilling and fastening
    • Shares 20V MAX batteries with other DeWalt tools
    • LED work light on both tools
    • Belt hooks and bit holders included
    Cons
    • Not a hammer drill, so no masonry drilling
    • Lower torque than DeWalt's full-size XR drills
    • Chuck and impact driver are brushed, not brushless
    • Batteries are compact capacity, so heavy use drains them quickly

    • PowerMixedSome owners find the drill and impact driver strong enough for home projects, while others say they bog down on heavy drilling.
    • Battery lifeCriticisedThe included compact batteries run down quickly during sustained use, according to several buyers.
    • Build qualityMixedOwners like the solid feel but note the tools are brushed rather than brushless, which some see as a step down from DeWalt's XR line.

    Questions and answers

    Is this a hammer drill?
    No. The DCK278C2 drill is a drill/driver only, so it is not rated for drilling into concrete or masonry.
    What is included in the kit?
    The kit includes the drill/driver, impact driver, two 20V MAX compact batteries, a charger, a contractor bag, and belt hooks.
    Does it use the same batteries as other DeWalt 20V MAX tools?
    Yes. Both tools run on DeWalt's 20V MAX battery platform, so the included batteries work with other 20V MAX tools.
    How does it compare to DeWalt's XR drills?
    The Atomic tools are shorter and lighter but have less torque and are not brushless. XR drills are larger, more powerful, and typically brushless.
    Is it good for professional use?
    It can suit professionals who need a compact backup or finish tool, but tradesmen doing heavy drilling all day may want a more powerful brushless model.
