20V MAX Cordless Drill and Impact Driver
A drill and an impact driver in one kit. Good starter set for someone setting up a basic tool collection.
$139
This is a two-tool combo: a drill for making holes and an impact driver for driving screws. Covers the most common DIY tasks — hanging shelves, assembling furniture, basic repairs around the house.
Comes with two batteries, a charger, and a bag. One battery can charge while you use the other. The impact driver is compact enough to fit in tighter spots where a bigger tool won't.
These aren't brushless motors, so they're not as efficient as newer models. But for occasional home projects, most people won't notice the difference.
Why it works
- Two batteries means less waiting around for a charge.
- Impact driver fits in tighter spots than longer models.
- Complete kit — nothing else to buy before you can start.
Who it's for
- Someone moving into their first house and starting a tool collection.
- A DIYer who's been borrowing tools and is ready to own their own.
What to know
- Not brushless. Newer models are more efficient if that matters to you.
- 1.3Ah batteries are smaller capacity — fine for light use, not all-day jobs.
