Need 20V Power Tools or Batteries? Compare a Ratchet, Drill Driver, and DCB205 2-Packs

Four 20V battery-platform products-two Dewalt DCB205 2-packs, a HarvoTex cordless ratchet, and a Dewalt DCD805 drill driver-range from USD 31.90 to USD 70.96. This guide sorts out whether to buy batteries, a bare tool, or both.

Quick take

When you're shopping for power tools, the first decision isn't which color or brand; it's whether you need something that stores power or something that uses it. The four products here show the split: two are 2-packs of DEWALT DCB205 20V Max XR 5.0Ah lithium-ion batteries, one is a HarvoTex cordless ratchet wrench that runs on a Dewalt 20V battery, and one is a DEWALT DCD805 brushless drill driver sold as a bare tool. The listed prices run from USD 31.90 to USD 70.96. If you already own a 20V battery system, the bare tool or ratchet may be the only missing piece. If you don't, the battery packs matter more.

2 Pack DEWALT DCB205 20V Max XR 5.0Ah Lithium-Ion Battery New In PackUSD 65.60

DEWALT DCD805 20V - MAX Power Brushless Cordless Impact Drill Driver - Tool OnlyUSD 48.99

Both battery packs share the same DCB205 model and 5Ah capacity; one is listed at USD 65.60 for the 2-pack, the other at USD 70.96. The ratchet is the lowest-priced product, yet it has no battery included. The drill driver is the only bare drill/driver in this set.

Decision matrix

  • If you need replacement batteries for an existing 20V Dewalt system: The two DCB205 2-packs are the only battery-only products in this group. Choose the lower-priced pack, the "New In Pack" option at USD 65.60, unless you have a reason to prefer the "New In 2PCS" listing at USD 70.96.
  • If you need a compact ratchet for tight spaces and you already have a compatible battery: The HarvoTex 3/8-inch cordless ratchet is the only ratchet here. It is also the lowest-priced product at USD 31.90, but it requires a Dewalt 20V battery.
  • If you need a general-purpose drill/driver and you already have batteries: The DEWALT DCD805 brushless impact drill driver is the only drill/driver listed. It is tool-only, so it needs a battery and charger from your existing system.
  • If you're starting with nothing: No single product here includes both a tool and a battery, so you would pair one battery 2-pack with one bare tool. Your total would depend on the combination you choose.

Product notes

2 Pack DEWALT DCB205 20V Max XR 5.0Ah Lithium-Ion Battery New In Pack

Two DCB205 batteries give you a 5Ah runtime bump for tools that use the 20V Max platform. This 2-pack is new, lithium-ion, yellow, and made in the United States. It is a practical pick when you want spare batteries for an existing tool and don't need another tool body. The catch is that it is not a tool. If your tool bag is empty, this pack alone won't drive a screw or remove a bolt. At USD 65.60, it is the lower-priced of the two DCB205 2-packs in this set.

Cordless Ratchet Wrench For Dewalt 20V Battery 3/8 Inch Electric Ratchet Tool

The HarvoTex cordless ratchet wrench is a 3/8-inch electric ratchet that runs on Dewalt 20V batteries such as the DCB204, DCB205, or DCB206. It is rated at 65 ft-lbs of torque, 500 RPM, and 1.9 pounds, with an LED work light, making it a compact option for jobs in tight areas. It does not include a battery, so it only makes sense if you already have a compatible battery. At USD 31.90, it is the lowest-priced product here, but the final cost rises once you add the battery you'll need to power it.

2 Pack DEWALT DCB205 20V Max XR 5.0Ah Lithium-Ion Battery New In 2PCS

This is the other 2-pack of DEWALT DCB205 20V Max XR 5.0Ah batteries. It matches the specs of the other pack: lithium-ion, 5Ah, yellow, and new condition. If you need more than two batteries on hand, this is another way to add a pair of DCB205s to your spare-battery stash. It won't give you a tool, so it's best for people who already have a drill, driver, or other 20V tool. The main thing to consider is the listed price: at USD 70.96 it is the most expensive product in this group, and the other DCB205 2-pack is listed at USD 5.36 less.

DEWALT DCD805 20V - MAX Power Brushless Cordless Impact Drill Driver - Tool Only

This DEWALT DCD805 is a brushless cordless impact drill driver sold as a bare tool. It is compatible with 20V MAX batteries and is made in Mexico. The tool is sold without a battery or charger. If you already have 20V batteries, this could be the piece that turns your existing power source into a working drill/driver. The limitation is the same one that applies to any bare tool: you need a compatible battery before it will run. The listed price is USD 48.99, which sits between the ratchet and the battery packs.

Final recommendation by use case

  • Already have 20V batteries? The DCD805 drill driver at USD 48.99 is the only drill/driver in this group, while the HarvoTex ratchet at USD 31.90 is the only ratchet. Pick by whether you need drilling/driving or ratcheting in tight spaces.
  • Need more runtime for a tool you already own? The DCB205 2-pack at USD 65.60 is the lower-priced way to get two 5Ah batteries in this set.
  • Need a second pair of batteries and care less about the price gap? The other DCB205 2-pack at USD 70.96 adds the same capacity, but at a higher listed price.
  • Starting fresh? Pair either battery 2-pack with either bare tool, depending on which job matters first. None of these four products is a complete all-in-one kit.
