- Is this kit worth it over buying the drill and impact driver bare?
- If you need batteries and a charger anyway, the kit bundles them with several tools on one 20V MAX platform. Buying bare tools only makes sense if you already own 5.0Ah packs.
- How does it compare with DeWalt's brushed combo kits?
- The brushless motors here run cooler, deliver more torque per charge and last longer than the brushed versions. The brushed kits are lighter and simpler but give up runtime and power.
- How long do the 5.0Ah batteries last?
- Runtime depends on the tool and the job, but 5.0Ah packs roughly double the capacity of the 2.0Ah packs sold with entry kits. Most owners get through a full day of mixed drilling and driving on two packs.
- What is in the box?
- The kit includes the 20V MAX tools, two 5.0Ah batteries, a charger and a carrying case. Check the tool list for your region, since bundle contents vary by market.
- Do the batteries fit other DeWalt tools?
- Yes. The 20V MAX batteries work across DeWalt's 20V MAX cordless range, including saws, grinders and outdoor tools. Older 18V NiCad tools are not compatible.
- Can the impact driver take round drill bits?
- The impact driver has a hex chuck for 1/4-inch hex accessories. For round-shank drill bits, use the hammer drill or a hex-to-keyless adapter.
- Where is the Dewalt DCK695P2 (2x5.0Ah) cheapest?
