DEWALT20V Max XR Cordless Drill Combo Kit, Brushless, 2-Tool (DCK283D2)

First of all the charger takes only 110V, so be careful not to connect to 220V. You may get 3rd party chargers for your set. The kit came with pre charged (half) and so I gave it a try. It's great, and you feel the power. The carrying box is also sturdy and useful.The only thing I wasn't happy about was the price of the combo. I purchased and while it's in transit on the way to me, Amazon made a discount on the product and reduced the price by about 15-20%.

No soy experto pero para mis trabajos caseros están excelentes. Buena relación potencia, calidad, precio. La maleta está perfecta para llevarlos a todos lados y guardar además mi estuche de brocas y de puntas para el atornillador de impacto. Las baterías son de 2 AH c/u.

As a combined kit, the tool price is a fantastic value, but the further added value of the Dewalt/Amazon 25.00 instant rebate made it a price no one could beat. I was looking at these 2 tools individually as bare tools, as I already have batteries & chargers from my existing 20V collection; but this kit was better value-priced than 2 bare tools. The included charger is slower than the DCB101 but that is how Dewalt keeps prices down I guess. I already owned the DCF895 but had a project requiring more manpower and needed to acquire another for the family crew. I thought the 895 trigger tool release was slick and had more than enough power & speed to do the job. The 887 has even more power and the design of the snout allows a better grip than prior models DCF885 or DCF886. Jury is still out on the low speed torque delay... I do not use torque setting #1 enough to conclude if I approve or disapprove. For fine wood screws I still prefer my original 12 Max drill/driver for ultimate control; but this may be anyone's personal preference (or not). I truly believe this tool has more power than you will ever need. Anyone complaining about disappointing performance is probably using the wrong tool for the job. Seriously, anyone complaining a 1/4" hex-to-1/2" square adaptor to fit a lug nut socket did not take the lug nuts off a car is not realistic. Any impact with adaptors and/or loose fitting/worn sockets is going to suffer in torque output at the business end. Knuckle-busting torque on lug nuts is not the intent of this tool. In all of this tool's intended application, it has surpassed expectation so far. The LED light features are kind of neat, an improvement over prior models if that is something you're in practical need off. I would not just dump my DCF895 just for the sake of advancing to the newest DCF887; but if you have the older 886 or 885 then the 3 speeds of the 887 is a step-up for sure. The drill... well, very glad I waited. I had the 1st generation brushed design (plastic chuck) and it was just so-so on a big reno job. I waited for the brushless line to come out and did not immediately jump a the first generation DCD790.. wanted to see what the jury reported. As time would have it, when a new project forced the need to move up to a more powerful brushless model, the DCD791 came out.. .but I still watched for pricing! It has not disappointed. As others have commented it fits perfectly in your hand and the amount of power output seems unreal for it compact size. I already had the DCD995 high-end hammer drill/driver and it is big and HEAVY. The DCD791 is now my go-to drill/driver for sure. Keep the weight down with the 2 amp-hour batteries and move up to the bitter 5 amp hour if you need longer run time... it has not disappointed. I gave away my original brushed drill and impact driver to a newcomer into the world home renovations and am sure they will both still serve the new owner well enough. In short, both of these 2nd generation brushless tools have power and features user will find superior to prior models and will not disappoint. If the bare tools were cheaper, I would have got them as such... but for the price this was the best anywhere around and delivery from Prime was fast.

The Dewalt DCK283D2 MAX XR Lithium Ion Brushless Compact Drill and Driver set is, at the time of this review (Aug 9, 2016) the latest and greatest iteration of Dewalt's 20V Compact Drill and Impact Driver. I bought them as an upgrade for the older 18V Dewalt tools (hammer drill, compact drill, and circular saw) which I have owned for almost a decade. All I can say is HOLY COW THESE ARE AMAZING!It's stunning how far technology has come. Compared to my older 18V tools--which were very good--these are considerably smaller, lighter, and more powerful, plus just as durable or more so! Seriously, I should have upgraded sooner. Of course, it's probably a good thing I waited, as these newest versions (DCD791 Compact Drill and DCF887 Impact Driver) have the advantage of better illumination options (brighter LEDs, with a 20 second standard shut off delay after activation, as well as a 20-minute illumination option). Far from a gimmick, the brightness and placement of these lights is a major convenience any time you have to drive a fastener from inside a dark cabinet or other confined/poorly lit space.Dewalt also makes a hammer drill version of their compact drill, as well as a full size regular and full size hammer drill. I decided that if I ever need the power of a hammer drill, I will invest in the full-size hammer drill. But for 95% of all things I do or make with my tools, this DCD791 Compact Drill has PLENTY of power, and the light weight and slim form factor are amazing. I can get into small spaces much easier, and support the tool for much longer without fatigue. Need to drive a 2-1/4" hole-saw through 3/4" plywood? No problem! I'm totally thrilled with this compact drill's performance.The Impact Driver is equally exciting. Even more compact than the drill, it offers a nearly ideal balance between brute power (especially on setting 3) and delicate driving tasks (settings 2 or 1). Thanks to the reduced speed as well as reduced torque on setting 1, I am comfortable driving even relatively delicate #6 and #4 screws into wood with it. And on setting 2, it drives #8 1-1/2" screws very quickly, with the impact function kicking in just as the head of the fastener begins to seat. Perfect! I've driven a few hundred screws with it now--about four times faster than I can drive them with my old 12V Bosch driver--and not one seated too deeply or tore out. 90% of the time I leave it on setting 2 and the sensitivity of the trigger gives me enough control to drive fasteners anywhere from reassuringly slow to blazingly fast. As I previously alluded, I also find that the level of control with an impact driver is markedly better (compared to a standard cordless driver) when seating fasteners flush. The ratchet provides audible and palpable feedback at the moment the fastner is beginning to seat and tighten, making it a lot easier to avoid over-driving the fastener below the surface of your material.A couple of things to know about these 20V tools.... First, 20V is the max operating voltage; these are technically 18V tools, so the 20V claim is a bit of a marketing gimmick. What makes them "more powerful" is not the voltage but the fact that they use better parts/components than the 18V tool line that Dewalt also still sells. At the same time, they are also more compact than most equivalent tools in the 18V line. The chief advantage over the older 18V tools is the use of Lithium Ion (memory-less) batteries. My older 18V batteries HAD to be fully discharged and recharged at least once every month or they would go bad alarmingly quickly. Since I'm the kind of guy who tends to tackle a nine-month boat-building project, and then take a few months off before I start something else, this meant I kept finding myself needing to buy expensive replacement batteries. After doing that twice--and spending WAY too many years juggling four half-dead batteries between my tools and two charging stations--I finally upgraded to this newer 20V system. WOW... the batteries are so much lighter, smaller, and more powerful... and they don't seem to discharge (let alone go bad) at all, even if left unattended and uncharged for more than a month. This is a major improvement over the NiCad 18V batteries, which would need to be replaced or would barely hold a charge if neglected to that same extent. Also, just for reference, I recently built a rolling kitchen island for my wife (22" x 36" x 35-1/4"), plus four small portable tool-organizer cabinets (11" x 11" x 18") over the past two weeks using this drill and driver. At present, I still have not recharged anything. The impact driver battery still shows a full three bars of power and the drill battery shows two bars of power when I press the battery gauge. So not only do they hold a charge well, but they obviously operate quite efficiently. I've been doing a lot of drilling and fastening on these projects, including making a few cutouts for power cords with a 2" and a 1-1/4" hole-saw. I've also dropped them three times already from approximately 3' height--hard enough to bounce them--but the plastic and rubber cladding are so durable there is no sign of any scuff or crack. This is the familiar DeWalt build quality that I've come to know and love!If you are still using the older 18V tools with batteries that don't hold a charge like they used to, or if you're still using corded tools, or if you don't have a drill/driver and think you might like one, do yourself a favor and BUY THIS SET. It is outstanding, and it will do 95% of what most DIY'ers need to do with these tools. The only reason to look at the full size or hammer drill versions is if you're pretty certain you will need to drill into stone, brick, or masonry at some point (and more than once or twice). In that case, a hammer drill is pretty much a necessity and will save you considerable effort.[UPDATE 8-20-2016: Today my drill's battery dropped to one bar for the first time since I began using this set. So that means the 2Ah battery lasted approximately three weeks, during which time I built a rolling kitchen island, three mini tool-organizer cabinets, a rack for organizing my clamps, a large drawer, and a few miscellaneous small tool holders, plus drilled over a dozen holes through 3/4" plywood with hole saws ranging from 1-1/4 to 2-1/4" diameter. That's a LOT of drilling and driving, and I'm sure I could have kept going for awhile since it just dropped from two to one bar today. The impact driver currently still has two of three bars when I check the battery gauge, so it has yet to see the charger. This is such a great set. So lightweight and compact, yet very powerful. Not once have these tools bogged down or even slowed in operation. Awesome.]

Love these, great price!
