There will always be a better deal later especially since this is not an XR variant. Seconded, there is no reason to buy this right not if you do not need it right away. I reach for the impact several times a week even when I'm not working on a project, but definitely use it in every project I work on. Context, I am a weekend warrior but upgrading from the Ryobi Impact/Drill kit ($88 from past deal) has made my life so much easier due to more compact size, power, weight, and runtime. Of course, this kit is 'good enough' but if you have a time machine or aren't in a hurry, I would definitely recommend waiting. And the tools are XR models versus regular brushless. Also, the batteries are 2AH versus 1.3AH (or 1.5AH). IMO, it is well worth it if you can wait for a deal to come back as the impact has 3 speed settings-one of which is the precision mode which has saved my holes many times. I had this set for a while but returned it in exchange for the XR Hammer/Impact kit (DCK287) for $25 more past Boxing Day at HD. Batteries give the greatest boost and they pack the lowest in these starter kit. One thing I really like about DeWalt personally, is the FlexVolt batteries, that can be used on all the smaller 20V Max tools, as well as the more powerful 60V tools.Īgreed, you get the kit and then find yourself upgrading the batteries. Then compare to a few other brands, to see if the tool availability and pricing suits you better or worse than DeWalt. If these will be your first cordless tools, take some time to look deeper into the DeWalt lineup, and check out other tools you might be interested in.
The tools are fine but they give you lowest capacity/performance battery.īeefier batteries give these cordless tools much more power/usage/time.
They have been incredibly useful since moving to a larger home / property.Īgreed, these kits lure you into their eco system. I do find the light placement to be poor though, as the chuck shadows the tip of your shorter drill bits. I got a similar kit, but the drill without the hammer mode, and I got a bonus 2Ah battery. They you find yourself immediately wanting the reciprocating saw, then the string trimmer, then the. It's a trap! They suck you in the door with a low price on a drill and driver combo.
