Power Tools: Choose a Cordless Drill Kit or Drill-and-Impact Combo

Choose among four cordless power tool kits by matching your work to a single drill/driver or a drill-and-impact pairing, then weighing condition, compact design details, and listed price.

Last updated Jul 28, 2026

A cordless kit can mean either a focused drill/driver setup or a pairing that adds an impact driver for fastening work. That distinction matters more than simply choosing the highest-voltage name. The four choices below span new, used, and certified-refurbished conditions, with listed prices from USD 99.00 to USD 170.00. Start with the tool format you need, then use the specific design details to narrow the field.

Quick take

The DEWALT DCD771C2 is the straightforward pick for shoppers seeking a drill/driver kit without an expressly named impact driver. The Makita, DEWALT ATOMIC, and Milwaukee options are two-tool sets that pair a drill/driver with an impact driver. For a compact-tool emphasis, the ATOMIC set provides a stated 5.88-inch drill-driver tool-head length. Condition also separates the choices: DEWALT and Milwaukee are listed new, Makita is listed used, and the ATOMIC kit is listed certified refurbished.

Decision matrix

  • For drilling and everyday fastening with one primary tool: Pick the DEWALT DCD771C2. Its title identifies it as a drill/driver kit, and its description specifies a two-speed transmission with 0-450 and 0-1,500 RPM ranges.
  • For hard-to-reach working areas: Pick the DeWalt DCK225D2R 20V MAX ATOMIC combo. Its drill-driver is described with a 5.88-inch tool-head length.
  • For a combo kit with an all-metal gearcase and chuck: Pick the Milwaukee Cordless Compact Drill and Impact Driver Power Tool Set.
  • For an 18V lithium-ion combo with a brushed motor: Pick the Makita Driver-Drill/Impact Driver Combo Kit.

Product notes

Makita Driver-Drill/Impact Driver Combo Kit

At USD 170.00, the Makita Driver-Drill/Impact Driver Combo Kit combines an 18V drill-driver and impact-driver pairing with lithium-ion battery technology, a charger, and a tool bag. It suits shoppers who want that Makita two-tool arrangement and prefer the listed brushed motor configuration. The key limitation is its Used condition, which makes it a different condition choice from the new DEWALT and Milwaukee kits and the certified-refurbished ATOMIC set. Its listed 10.03-pound item weight is also worth considering for anyone who expects to carry the complete kit between work areas.

DEWALT DCD771C2 20V MAX Cordless Drill Driver Kit

The DEWALT DCD771C2 is listed at USD 99.00 and is the most direct choice when a cordless drill/driver is the central need. The kit is listed new and includes batteries, a charger, and a contractor bag. Its compact, lightweight description and two-speed transmission make it a focused option for drilling and fastening tasks. The tradeoff is its narrower tool lineup: this is a drill/driver kit, rather than a set expressly described as including both a drill-driver and an impact driver. Choose it when that simpler format aligns with the work you plan to do.

DeWalt DCK225D2R 20V MAX ATOMIC Drill & Impact Driver

At USD 164.99, the DeWalt DCK225D2R 20V MAX ATOMIC kit pairs a 1/2-inch cordless drill-driver with a 1/4-inch cordless impact driver. It is a compelling match for shoppers prioritizing a compact combo, with onboard LEDs noted for low-light work and a short drill-driver tool-head measurement for tighter areas. Batteries, a charger, belt hooks, and a kit bag are included in the described set. Its limitation is the Certified - Refurbished condition, so it is best for shoppers comfortable choosing that condition category rather than a new kit.

Milwaukee Cordless Compact Drill and Impact Driver Power Tool Set

The Milwaukee Cordless Compact Drill and Impact Driver Power Tool Set is listed at USD 154.99 and pairs an 18V compact drill/driver with a 1/4-inch hex compact impact driver. Choose it for the M18 REDLITHIUM battery system, the impact driver's quick-change hex arrangement, and the included charger, contractor bag, and belt clip. The drill/driver is also described with an all-metal gearcase and chuck. The tradeoff is its place toward the upper end of this four-kit price range, making the tool pairing and M18 format the main reasons to select it.

Final recommendation by use case

Choose the DEWALT DCD771C2 for a new, single drill/driver kit with two speeds. Choose the DeWalt DCK225D2R 20V MAX ATOMIC when a compact drill-and-impact pairing is the priority. Choose the Milwaukee Cordless Compact Drill and Impact Driver Power Tool Set for its M18 two-tool configuration, all-metal drill components, and quick-change impact-driver format. Choose the Makita Driver-Drill/Impact Driver Combo Kit if its 18V lithium-ion, brushed-motor combo format fits your needs and its Used condition is acceptable.
