Is the DCK449P2 worth it over buying tools separately?

For someone who needs a drill, impact driver, recip saw and light, the kit usually costs less than buying the four tools and two batteries separately. It is a weaker value if you already own 20V batteries or don't need a recip saw.

What is the difference between the DCD805 and the older DCD796 drill?

The DCD805 is the newer brushless hammer drill with a 1/2-inch metal ratcheting chuck and a 3-position pivoting LED. It is shorter than the DCD796 and keeps the anti-rotation control. Both run on 20V MAX batteries.

What comes in the box?

The kit includes the DCD805 hammer drill/driver, DCF887 impact driver, DCS382 reciprocating saw, DCL040 LED work light, two 5.0 Ah batteries, a charger and a storage bag.

Are the batteries compatible with other DeWalt 20V tools?

Yes. The 5.0 Ah packs use the DeWalt 20V MAX slide-on interface and fit the full 20V MAX line, including older brushed tools. They also work with 20V/60V MAX FlexVolt tools that accept 20V packs.

How heavy is the kit?

The packed kit weighs about 18.5 lbs with the case and batteries. The tools alone are lighter, but the recip saw and two 5.0 Ah packs add noticeable weight.

Our take on the Dewalt DCK449P2 20V MAX XR Cordless Combo Kit

The DeWalt DCK449P2 is a four-tool 20V MAX XR cordless kit: a DCD805 hammer drill/driver, a DCF887 impact driver, a DCS382 reciprocating saw and a DCL040 LED work light. All tools are brushless, and the kit ships with two 5.0 Ah lithium-ion batteries, a charger and a storage bag. The DCF887 is the standout, rated at up to 1,825 in-lbs of torque in a body 5.3 inches long. It suits buyers starting a cordless platform or replacing several worn tools at once; the full kit weighs about 18.5 lbs with the case.
