Quick take
Choosing a power tool or battery pack often depends on what you already have. This set gives you a 3/8-inch cordless ratchet, a 1/2-inch impact wrench, and two DEWALT battery two-packs. Listed prices run from USD 31.90 to USD 70.96. The ratchet and the impact wrench both require a battery you supply, so they make sense if you already own a compatible battery platform. The two DEWALT two-packs do the reverse: they add runtime for an existing 20V Max tool.

Product notes
HarvoTex 3/8-inch Cordless Ratchet
This ratchet is priced at USD 31.90, the lowest listed price in the set. It works with DEWALT 20V lithium-ion batteries such as DCB204, DCB205, and DCB206, and delivers 65 ft-lbs of torque at up to 500 RPM. The 1.9-lb body and built-in LED work light suit tight spaces. The 3/8-inch drive pairs with the compact body for tighter access. The catch: the product does not include a battery, so you need to supply a compatible DEWALT 20V battery to make it run. That input cost matters when you are comparing against the battery two-packs here.
Milwaukee M18 FUEL 1/2-inch Impact Wrench
Priced at USD 65.41, this bare tool uses a POWERSTATE brushless motor and lists 650 N.m of torque with no-load speeds up to 9000 RPM. It is an 18V tool that accepts M18 batteries, but the battery is not included. The compact head length of 4.33 inches and 1.07 kg bare-tool weight make it a fit for engine bays and tight spaces. The 1/2-inch drive is the larger drive size of the two tools in this comparison. Keep in mind you need an M18 battery pack from your existing setup, which means this product fits if you are already committed to the M18 platform.
DEWALT DCB205 Two-Pack, New In Pack
At USD 65.60, this product includes two DEWALT DCB205 20V Max XR 5.0Ah lithium-ion batteries. Made in the United States and new, it lists a 1-year manufacturer warranty. These are batteries only, so they need a DEWALT 20V Max tool to be useful. The 5Ah capacity is the capacity listed for this pair. This is the lower-priced of the two DEWALT two-packs in this set, and it gives you two batteries rather than one.
DEWALT DCB205 Two-Pack, New In 2PCS
This second DEWALT two-pack carries the highest listed price here at USD 70.96. It also includes two DEWALT DCB205 20V Max XR 5.0Ah lithium-ion batteries, made in the United States. Like the other battery set, it supplies only batteries, so you need a DEWALT 20V Max tool. The 5Ah capacity and two-battery format match the other set. The trade-off is price: at USD 70.96, it is the most expensive item here, so choose it only if you prefer the New In 2PCS wording.
Final recommendation
If you already own a DEWALT 20V battery, the HarvoTex ratchet adds a useful 3/8-inch ratchet at the lowest listed price. If you need torque for stubborn fasteners and you are on the M18 platform, the Milwaukee impact wrench is the bare-tool option that gives you 650 N.m in a compact head. For extra runtime on a 20V Max tool, the New In Pack DEWALT two-pack gives you two batteries at a lower listed price than the New In 2PCS battery set, so choose the New In Pack unless you have a reason to prefer the other wording.
