DEWALT DCK290L2 20-Volt MAX Li-Ion 3.0 Ah Hammer Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit and DWA2T40IR IMPACT READY FlexTorq Screw Driving Set, 40-Piece

I've worked in construction and Hollywood film production for the last twenty years. I've used and abused every brand of power tool there is. If you want the best cordless tools currently available on Earth, buy this DeWalt 20v kit. These are not tools for the weak, timid, or poor. These are powerful, top-dollar, high-quality professional pieces. If you have any doubt about your need for these tools or your ability to handle them, then please buy something lesser, which is to say, most anything else. You can hurt yourself in a hurry with these tools. The torque from either drill or impact is substantial; when you hit the trigger, the tool jumps, hard. When you let off the trigger, it stops _right now_ and bucks again. You smell ozone and see sparks. This is good. This is power. These are the first cordless tools I've ever owned that have not left me wishing for more power. Actually, I've had to learn respect for these little monsters. The word "weak" will never enter your mind when these are around, and you can easily break things and cause all sorts of damage if you're not careful; snap bolts, drive screws right through your workpiece... Much like a powerful car, these reward skill and punish error. You could probably break your wrist with the drill and a big wood bit, if you tried. But I like power and I don't mind danger. If you feel differently, maybe get something tamer. The chucks are great. The drill's keyless chuck is strong, positive, industrial, precise. I like how the shaft locks up so you can change bits without hitting the trigger, if you want. The impact driver chuck is excellent, requiring no fiddling to insert, and never jamming up on release like some other impacts I've dealt with. I guess DeWalt has a new impact with a different pushbutton chuckless setup; might check that out someday, but this one rocks for now. The battery life is so good, it's unbelievable. The charger is very quick and has a large LED to let you know what's up. Speaking of LED's, the impact has three and the drill has one, all very bright and helpful. I guess some guys don't like the bag. I'm happier with a bag than a hard case any day, but that's personal preference. Anyway, the bag looks built to last and holds the two guns, batteries, and charger comfortably with room for a bit more. The only drawback to these tools is price. They are more expensive than some others, but you get what you pay for in this case at least. For me, the awesome performance plus the anticipated longevity make these tools a great value. Plus, when you show up at a job everyone will be envious and asking to fondle or borrow them. Fondle yes, borrow, no! I don't know how they did it, but the box showed up almost before I got done ordering it. Beyond fast shipping.Highly and unconditionally recommended.

I have had this for a few months now and its a huge improvement over my last drill / Driver which was a Dewalt 14.4 VUpdateBattery LifeThe battery life of this drill is huge. I have the 3 A hour battery and I hardly ever need to charge it. I just moved and I have done a lot of little project. So far since owning these I have charged each battery two times at most. This was not the case with my older 14.4 V drill. I would have had 10 or more charges at this point.Batteries also charge very quickly, feels like 30 minutes at most for a full charge.Old Review I have previously used and still own a Dewalt 14.4 volt drill and driver so I am aware of what the tools are capable of. I have had the 14.4 volt drill for 13+ years and it still works great, but the two batteries it came with are shot. The driver for 4 years also still works well and has good batteries. I decided on the upgrade because I wanted to give myself a Christmas gift, and a new battery was already $60.I went for the impact combo because based on reviews it seemed to have better features and I already had a non-impact drill. I also went with the 3.0A hours as it was not much extra money.The two features I want to talk about are weight and the wobbleWobbleIf you read reviews and watch videos of this drill there are a lot of complaints about bit wobble. Mine has no wobble at all, even on impact mode. If wobble is an issue it must be on an older or different model.Weight / size.This thing is super light. The batteries are much lighter and smaller then my 14.4 V. I originally got the 14.4 13 years ago because at the time 18V batteries were huge. Overall each tool is a little less in size and weight as the 14.4 weight models. I did not expect this.ConsThe only con so far is only the impact driver came with the belt clip. I did not even know that was part of the package when I bought it and I was like, "wow this belt clip is super cool" but then when it was not on the drill I was somewhat bummed. So its just a 1/2 bonus.

I basically ordered this kit because I recently bought a portable 20V Dewalt radio, but it didn't come with a battery and this kit came with 2 batteries, plus the cordless tools. So this combo was just brilliant for me! I've always just owned corded power tools, so this is basically my 1st cordless set ever, and this is my 1st Dewalt brand of tools ever also. For my 1st experience dealing with Dewalt...it truly has been amazing! I use to be a Black & Decker kind of guy, but I think I will be replacing them with Dewalt from now on. The quality is superior! They will last you your whole lifetime and your children's lifetime! So the investment on this kit is well worth it!

I bought this as a replacement for my older 14.4 volts drill (the price was at 267$ when I bought it) and wow, what a huge improvement... Both tools are very powerfull (believe me I used them in very demanding situations) and those 20v batteries can hold a very long time, much more than I ever expected. Speaking of batteries, the charge indicator on those is very useful when planning your work ahead.Also, those Dewalt Tools doesn't have any wobbling effect like the Milwaukee (18 volts) did when I tried them at a tool show.

These batteries last forever prior to a recharge cycle! The drills are a better build quality than the previous XRP series, the LED is a very nice little feature. The bag is quite handy. The drills are nicely weighted, and both chucks on the impact and hammer drill are again improved from previous. Definitely more than enough for the DIY'r. Hopefully these last as long as my previous Dewalt set.

Great product, great price!Wish I had more jobs to use this product on.More powerful than the 18 volt model, smaller, lighter, easier to use and the LED light is the best!I will not go back to a drill with no light again.Battery lasts a long time and does not discharge during non-use. Just remember to put the switch into the locked position when not in use.

I have used these bout two months. Can't say much for hammer drill as I really never had much time with it... I did use it for small time on hammer drill into concrete floor. Worked great... The impactor is my go to drill. One thing i got my set during a cold snap n weather was -20 and battery full charge last about 4 to 5 hrs and also would not charge in cold weather... Since then with warm weather they last days n charge fast.Probably best set i ever had.
