DEWALT 20V MAX Hammer Drill and Impact Driver(DCK299P2)

Heavy duty no doubt! I wasn’t sure what the difference was between a drill and a hammer drill and I’m too curious for my own good so I bought this setup and I like it. So far I haven’t needed the hammer part of it yet but I’m sure it will work excellent. I have a decent DeWalt arsenal of tool and they never eat me down.

I've hesitated buying cordless tools because I was never satisfied with their performance or power. I am so glad I bought the DeWalt 20v XR, I couldn't be happier. Pair it with a 5amp or larger battery and your set, I'll be buying more tools.

I used to be a Milwaukee brand nut but I went to the other side and these work well and take a pretty decent amount of abuse. I favor these for the job site…. DEWALT

I'm really bias here, I am a DeWalt guy and always will be. I love their products, well built and durable. The only thing I don't like is their cost. DeWalt tools are a bit spendy. However, DeWalt tools are designed for the professional who expects a lot from their tools.

i am not a construction business or anything, just use it in Home repairs (Concrete) i tried it to test twice and it work just fine / very strong & very powerful. also did small wood work and it more than perfect.
i got the bundle of Hammer Drill & Impact Driver & 2 batteries and a charger.
international shipping is just great came within 10 days.

Excelent case, very tough. Super strong hammer drill and impact driver, it feels with very nice construction assembly.
You should register your products at DeWalt.com for the warranty.

Just can’t beat the quality of this tool. Love the work light that comes on when the trigger is slightly activated, belt, clips, and hard cover case. Will always be a Dewalt customer.

After watching Laura on Garden Answer (you tube channel) use this drill with the Power Planter, I had to try both. Power Planters now come in a lighter weight "Laura version," BTW. Wow at the power of this drill! I've dug dozens of little holes and even managed to loosen the dirt to plant a 3 gallon shrub without shoveling (just scooped the dirt out of the hole with my hands). The clutch disengages immediately if I hit something, so I haven't had the slightest twist on my wrist using it. Be sure to watch Power Planter's intro video! I've also used it at higher speeds with a drill bit. Love love love this drill!

El envío llegó el 10 de julio cuando yo no estaba en mi residencia y lo recibí al día siguiente antes del plazo prometido (calificación 5). El pedido cumplió con las características anunciadas (calificación 5). Estoy muy contento con la dos herramientas inalámbricas (brushless) con sus respectivas baterías, un cargador y otros accesorios (calificación 5). Mi espectativa estaba en que el taladro de percusión y el atornillador de impacto fueran originales (fabricados en USA), por lo tanto, me fijé en la marca hecha en relieve y también en la base del mango donde se inserta la batería (calificación 5). Me gustó el precio favorable del kit haciendo que DeWalt sea una firma muy competitivo con relación a otra marcas de Europa, Japón y del mismo país (5). Conclusión: El mejor servicio y con excelentes herramientas de trabajo.

i use it for all types of work: in wood, concrete, in iron, aluminum and in all, the tools are great.

I liked the grip of both tools and the quality of them.

THE DRILL WORKS WONDERFUL. IT CAN OPEN HOLES IN THE WALL QUITE EASILY. THE ONLY BAD THING I FOUND WAS THAT IT IS A LITTLE HEAVY. IF YOU WANT TO BUY A CORDLESS DRILL I RECOMMEND THIS 100 PERCENT. IT COMES WITH 2 BATTERIES AND THE CHARGER FOR 1 BATTERY. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO BRING 2 CHARGERS

It is the second set of the same model, but this time I bought it for a friend after hard use for more than 5 years without any problems and performance as new

I purchased this product mainly for the impact driver since I already have a Dewalt drill driver. However, the drill just sweetened an already sweet deal. Adding a li-ion charger and TWO 20v batteries plus a carry case. Was a no brainer. The items work amazing and are to DeWalts standard of quality. Very happy with my purchase.

these meet our expectations using them daily in a Public Works Department they see a lot of use and in unfavorable conditions water, mud, heat, cold, etc. Tools function great and are a great asset for us in our field.

 My husband is a handyman and loves working on small to large projects. I bought him this set for Christmas and he went off and built this treehouse using the Dewalt set. I’d say he is loving them.

I love both of these tools. They have tons of power. Very happy with this purchase. They are a little heavy with the 5ah battery so I purchased some of the powerstack batteries, makes them even easier to use.

I can’t say enough good things about this Dewalt drill and driver combo. I do a lot of woodworking, home projects and use one or both of these several times a week. They just work and work well. They work in tandem well. I’ll have the drill drilling holes and the driver driving the screws and go back and forth between the two. I have the larger 5amp batteries on both so they last forever. I can go through a full day of heavy usage and still have plenty of battery left. I was at a point about six months ago where I needed to replace several power tools. I had never owned Dewalt before but a buddy raved about them so I purchased this combo. They have worked so well I’ve moved most of my power tools to Dewalt. It is so nice to have everything using the same batteries. This kit sold me on Dewalt.

Since I got this set been using it heavily framing and drywalling in my Maintenance job. It's been putting in work. Not here to convince anyone what to buy, just to say I am happy with my decision to stay with the XR Series of tools to add to my personal Inventory. I appreciate the quality of build. Y'all have a good one and keep up the Quality work DeWalt.

This kit is awesome. The battery life is unbelievable. I’m a remodeling contractor and use these every day. They have plenty of power. Not heavy. The lights on them are good so you can see what your doing. I’m very happy with them.

Best purchase ever. I use these all the time. Lots of power and easy to use. The battery lasts a long time and retains power well. Honestly the large battery adds a bit of weight, so that's the downside. But I use them with other Dewalt tools too so it's been great. I recommend getting good quality drill bits to use with these.

Both of these drills have problem already. The drill itself has motor issues causing it to not run smoothly. The rpms vary causing inconsistent speed during use. The impact driver broke yesterday on site. The trigger mechanism became stuck and nonfunctional. I suspect these were refurbished tools, hence the early failure. I'll be buying in a store that can offer a warranty. I'm a contractor, not a low use homeowner, I need my tools to work as expected.

The quality and light weight makes these drills great. Battery's are long lasting with fast charging times and the kit itself makes it easy to carry around.

I use the hammer drill for concrete and it's saved me do much time thanks to the amount of torque and hammer drill settings. The smaller one is great for home use and quick jobs.

All in all these are great drills. 👍

It was hard to let go of a working 18v set that I have had put through the ringers for years but I wanted to add other components too and didn't want two types of batteries to maintain. 20v, brushless motors, and Dewalt were the only choices for me for DYI guy.

I have a 15 year olds Milwaukee drill that functions great. But the batteries were going, so I explored simmering new, smaller, and better batteries
These are awesome, and I love having two drills to stop having to switch from drill to screw.
I still love my "old school" Milwaukee drill, but the new kids have a home in my home repair arsenal

it's a very well made tools, got it in 2 weeks in israel all news tools. now the tools itself are very powerful and does an excellent job worth every penny the only down side i see i that the drill come without any bites so order bits whit it. thank you dewalt for awesome tools for a reasonable price.

I bought this set as a last resort to switching to Milwaukee, but I must say I really like this purchase. I even asked my wife if she would like a set, she said no thank you. Lots of power in the 5ah batteries and the impact is great as well as the hammer drill. So far, I have used the impact to drive 1000s of screws into steel 1/2" to 1/8" thick with no problems. The speed settings definitely are a plus and great for not over torquing the screws. Over torquing means breaking which leads to making another hole. This tool is a must have for your collection and especially if you are in need of something heavy duty for everyday use. This guys for you.

The tools are both brutes, especially the drill.. It'll twist your arm off if it stalls in something in either low or medium gear. The lights are great and the chuck on the drill is just awesome, if you spin a bit in this, your doing it wrong... Impact driver is just as good, I use it to pre-torque my lugs when changing tires and it stalls at about 70# which is perfect, then I pull out the torque wrench and finish them off.

I switched to DeWALT 20v MAX XR tools earlier this year and a driver/drill combo set was the last pair of tools I needed to complete my new kit. DeWALT has a reputation as being very tough and long-lasting, and these two are just as good as the rest of my kit.

PROS
- Solid
- 4A/H batteries will last a long time between charges - even in high-draw tools like a week-whacker
- Interchangeable batteries between a huge array of tools
- 3 Bright LEDs on driver that stay on for 30 seconds or more after turning off the tool, allowing me to hit the button briefly to light up the work area, then find the screw, then use the tool. Three LEDs right at the collet mean there really are no shadows from my hand.
- Though there is only 1 LED on the drill, it is at an angle that allows me to find the hole marking easily. The drill also has three brightness settings. Don't look at the LED - it will drill a hole through your eye by itself.
- Plenty of power to drive large, long screws into hard wood
- Bag will be nice to carry the tools, and it's big enough I can get several in
- Comes with a handle for heavy drilling tasks such as getting through concrete
- Hammer function on drill makes it easy to get through masonry
- Three variable RPM settings on the drill allow for different material hardness at the correct speed
- Both tools are well balanced and comfortable to use.
- The driver's quick-attach/quick-release feature for bits is really nice.

CONS
- Drill has only 11 torque settings. My old brand had 20 and the greater precision was nice.
- Does not come with the quick-charge battery charger, only the standard one. When your battery is exhausted it's not cool to have to wait 4 hours for your batteries to charge. At the price DeWALT charges for this kit, even on sale, they should be able to provide the fast charger.

BE AWARE OF
- The driver's "Screw" feature (left setting) took some getting used to. It kept stopping on me until I figured it out.
- The batteries can be difficult to release the first few times. Once I got the hang of it though, it is fine.

It's fantastic that now I'm down to a single tools battery type where before I had three. If I make the decision to replace my existing 56v lawn mower with the DeWALT one, I will then eliminate that too and truly have a single interchangeable battery system for all of my battery-powered lawn and woodworking/maintenance tools.

RECOMMENDED
- I also got a set of tool holders and mounted them under a shelf - the type that fit like a battery. With this, I no longer have my tools lying all over my work bench. I also built a cabinet for all my batteries and one charger and now that is better organized too. A neat and organized shop makes for better work.

Been using this for "just" over a year now, works well. Extremely powerful for a cordless tool. Awesome Battery life. My only complain is that, while using the drill, the screws that held the handle together cut and fell out.

Im a fan of Dewalt tools previous drills have lasted me 20 years, basically the batteries die, these new lithium ion tools are not supposed to have that problem like the old nimih type seems durable like previous tools these new tools have led built in led lights to help illuminate your work really helpful when drilling in tight spaces and frees up a hand im hoping these last me another 20+ years of great service

I wanted to upgrade my old Dewalt 18v set. This is the combo I had been looking at and had not pulled the trigger. I saw the price and description and decided to order. It was delivered to my door within 48hrs. It was also exactly as described. I use them around my property almost on a daily basis. They are everything that I thought they would be and more. The best part is there was not a scratch on them. You would think they were brand new and the man. Date is 03/2021. Again I could not be more satisfied!

This set is awesome! My old set is from 2007 which I still have. I also have the 12v set for every day use but since I bought this new 20v set it’s way lighter than the old 18v and I’m using way more due to the weight. Now the power is great. Impact driver has great power also. I own a lot of dewalt tools and I’m always happy. Highly recommend.

 Solid set. Made quick work of every project I’ve used them for. The 5amp hour battery is great, though a tad heavy for the impact driver, I suggest getting an additional 2.5 amp for ease of use.
Drill goes through metal like butter, it’s settings are simple and the light is very handy. I have not used it on cement yet to test the “hammer.”
The Impact driver is very torque-y... a bit much for light screws. It has 3 settings: 1 will screw an average screw into wood, 2 will take that screw through the wood a bit far, 3 will likely strip the screw and send the drill into outer space.... all together it’s new, and has the 20v power you expect from dewalt.
This package is the best price/battery combo available anywhere.
Best part? It’s made in the USA supporting American jobs and economy! (though with foreign components).

I messed around with a few cheaper multi tool plus battery packs. The batteries are always crap and not always a great choice of tools to use with the same battery. After a LOT of research I came to the conclusion there are a LOT of 20vMax stuff out there and will be there for a long time. They are all solid units. I also got the brushless weed whip. Love it.

Straight out of the box, both are in fine shape.
After seeing all the 1 star reviews, the first thing I checked was the battery connection terminal (both on the tools and batteries) to see if there was any damage or poor build quality.

They both looked great. (I noticed the bad reviews regarding the batteries were all from around late 2018, so I assume the bad batches from that period have all been sold/returned or recalled long ago.)

So far, everything's ship-shape.

One thing I was curious about (if anyone knows the answer), is the clear grease (I assume Dielectric) on the metal contacts of the battery connection points (both on the tools and batteries).

I was wondering if anyone knows more info about what the specific brand of grease they used was.

Love the power and battery life. But, these are definitely more tool than a wanna-be DIY-er (like myself) might need. Specifically, the chuck on the drill can be very difficult to release. I about lost all the skin on my hand when I put the drill in reverse and grabbed to chuck to release a drill bit. Now, I use a tough glove when releasing bits. Great tools, as usual, from dewalt. I may have bought more tool than I really needed, but wanted the hammer drill.

THE BAG IN PHOTO SHOWN LOOKS LIKE A LARGER BAG , MOST GUYS LIKE TO PUT A FEW ITEMS IN THE TOOL BAG ALONG WITH THE DRILL , I DIDNT LIKE THE MINI-ME MADE IN THE USA BAG AT ALL NO ROOM!!! MAKES ME WONDER IF DEWALT CUT CORNERS ON PRODUCT QUALITY , I ALMOST WENT WITH MILWAUKEE FOR A LITTLE MORE . HOPE I DON'T REGRET THIS PUCHASE???

A little pricey but are well made and being higher voltage driven sure do get the job done. Inside no problems, outside in below freezing temperatures using the drill driver for driving 2 inch long deck screws for over three hours and the Impact tool to install nuts and bolts on a wooden bench no battery or other problems. I really enjoyed using these tools, they should last a long time!!

When I got these, the batteries had one bar, so I charged them. It only took an hour, maybe an hour and a half to fully charge each of these 5ah batteries. I've replaced my mailbox and drove 3/8 x 4" legs bolts through 3/4 plywood and into a treated 6x6. I built a handrail for a disabled friend's house, I'm currently remodeling a barn and have driven probably two pounds of wood screws, I've reinforced the handrail on my Dad's frint porch, I swapped out the track on the barn door, removing eight 3/8 lag bolts, and reinstalling them. ALL BEFORE CHANGING THE BATTERY! The battery life is amazing.
I love the screwdriver setting on the impact, and the bright bright 20 minute flashlight setting on the drill. I didn't even know they had those features, they're just bonuses.
I also have the 1/2 impact and love it, and the 20v, 7 1/4 circular saw which is extremely satisfying powerwise.
The impact is fairly light weight, but a little heavy with the 5ah batteries, I'm thinking of getting 2ah batteries for when I'm on a ladder. The 1/2 hammer drill is pretty heavy, but I want that in a heavy duty drill. They seem extremely well made, and when I've had them a while, I'll update my review concerning the longevity.

I've only had them for a week and only used them on one small house project, but I'm happy with some things and not so happy about one.

The Happy:
Power - both the drill and the impact have much more power than my 15 year old predecessors
Battery life/power - The lithium batteries seem to run forever - 4 AH and I haven't been able to find the end
Light - nice to have a light, but this model has the one down by the base, wish it have them around the chuck
Speed options - The 3 speeds combined with the variable trigger really give you control
The hammer feature on the drill - Something I find I need only once a year, but it's nice to have it onboard
Several other features - the push to insert on the impact is nice, the batter "bar" indicator, the fact it came with two 4AH batteries, even the carrying bag, all are nice touches and have noteworthy value

The Unhappy:
Really only one - the weight. These are top heavy even with the 4AH battery on the bottom. I had no idea they would be that way. I presumed with the brushless motor they would be super light.

Conclusion for now:
I got these at a reduced price and feel I got a really good deal. They are well made, as mentioned have a lot of power and useful features. I suspect they will last the rest of my life - TBD of course - LOL! I do recommend them especially if you can find a deal.

I use these heavily and daily for my job. The 20v batteries are fantastic. I’ve probably charged them 3x since November (2 1/2 months ago!!). My old Milaukee batteries would die in my van overnight if it was cold outside but these batteries are amazing. The impact drill is also very powerful. Barely have to push. If I had to complain I guess itd be the belt clip screw gets loose (like every drill) so you have to put lock tight on the screw. Other than that these are awesome.

I use this drill and driver set all the time. Nice to have the hammer drill function for concrete and masonry anchors. Impact driver is powerful for its size . Often use it with a socket adapter for smaller fasteners on car , van and motorcycle. Will drive many screws in wood on a single charge. Another battery will fully charge before running out of power . I bought this combo set for my son and it comes with 5ah batteries where as mine came with only 4ah batteries so that should provide even longer usage before needing to recharge. Bought a combo set for my other son last year so obviously I am very pleased with how they perform and hold up.

I own many dewalt cordless 20 and 12v tools and bought this set for work in another state. As always I get what I expect from dewalt. I see people saying the batteries are loose and the switches are hard to press. In over 20 years of using dewalt drills at least 5 days a week and never seen a loose battery that was installed correctly. Sometimes buttons are hard but the performance of dewalt XR drills/tools never let me down!!!

I've had Dewalt drills and other tools before (still do), and I have always been very pleased. The last set of drills I had was a comparable Milwaukee 18 volt set that I used for the last 8 years or so. I bought them when I started building my new house. They worked very well, and I have no complaints. Lately though they stared losing battery power (both batteries), so I decided to get new drills. The drills I got are the extra run time 20 volt set. One of the reasons I decided on the extra run time (the larger batteries on both drills opposed to one large and one small, shorter run time battery) is because I already have the 1/2" Dewalt 20 volt impact driver with the same batteries. Now I have 3 batteries, and 2 chargers, all the same.

After reading some of the other reviews, I was hesitant to get these drills because of complaints about loose batteries, switch problems, and the chuck apparently not tightening down (or whatever). On those things I have comments.

On the loose battery issue... I see that the battery moves around a bit by about a 32nd of an inch. After having the impact drill already with the same battery setup, I never noticed that until it was suggested in the reviews on these drills. I went out to my shop and looked at it, and sure it does that, but it is not noticeable at all (like I said, had it not been suggested, I would not have noticed!). So when I got these drills, they are exactly the same movement; no big deal (not even a small deal).

On the switching issue... I have been a contractor for 20 years building aluminum patio covers, etc. I have used many different brands and sizes of cordless drills over the years. I have never had one that didn't need to be turned on for a second to get the gears to sort of "mesh" (for lack of a better term). Every drill I have ever used, period. When building those patio covers you are running in hundreds of screws a day, and drilling hundreds of holes, every day switching from speed to torque. There is no issue here.

On the chuck issue, I cannot speak for the drill that apparently has an issue, as the chuck that came with these drills has the black, all steel, knurled chuck (vs. the one with the black plastic grip and the shiny chrome looking chuck. I believe those are the ones that get the complaints. Mine works perfectly.

I am no longer a contractor, but (besides building a lot of stuff) I am in the process of converting a 45 foot bus into a motor home. This will be about a 2-3 year project, and I am looking forward to using these new drills. They are nice and heavy, and balanced (even with the extra run sized battery, the drill motor is heavier than the battery, providing good balance). Keep in mind that a heavy drill doesn't kick back as easy as a light one (when the drill bit suddenly gets stuck in the material). Also, I don't know how necessary the "3 speeds" are, but I'm ok with them. I don't want to forget to mention the little LED light that comes on when you drill. I LOVE the 3 brightness levels. The highest one puts me in mind of those high powered flashlights. It is VERY bright, and will come in handy.

I highly recommend these drills. Thank you, Glennman

This combo is a fantastic deal. I loved my 5 year old 18V lithium Ion drill driver and it still worked great but the batteries were starting to go. A direct replacement of the old style batteries was $99! It didn't make sense to spend nearly $200 on batteries for old tools when I saw this combo which was only $279 in June of 2020 my mind was made up for me.

My DeWalt cordless 18V drill/drivers have always been the tool I use most as a DIY guy. This is my third such item and it is a huge improvement on my last 18V lithium ion. Speed, torque, size, the sureness of the chuck are all dramatically better. The hammer setting my previous unit was kind of useful not a big plus, the hammer performance of the DCD996 is probably the biggest upgrade as I see it so far.

It's not a lot smaller or lighter than my previous drill but enough that I feel and see the difference every time I use it. I've got pretty bad arthritis in my left shoulder an my right shoulder was recently replaced with titanium components. Point being, it's very painful working at or above head level and the reduction in weight has allowed me to get things done with a lot less pain. That's a deal I'll take any day.

The DCF887 impact driver is a beast. It's kind of like a genetic experiment that combined the most aggressive traits of a honey badger, a wolverine and a tasmanian devil.
It's been a while since I'd used an impact driver but I was completely unprepared for the power and speed of the tool. On first use I drove 3 1/2" deck screws through 3/4" pressure treated ply over pressure treated 2x4 so fast it was 1/2" below the surface before I could release the trigger. That was entirely my fault. I had it on top speed and leaned in just as I did with my older drill/driver. The three power settings and the variable speed trigger make it very easy to apply just the right amount of speed and power for any job.

It's size make it easy to maneuver in tight spaces. I utilized it's size and power to handle 80% of the nuts a bolts when I recently did a complete remove and replace of the front suspension of my Honda CR-V, (everything except the knuckle and wheel bearing, which I replaced last year). In combination with my monster DCF899P1 impact wrench(which I really love), the DCF887 made the job dramatically easier. No scraped or smashed knuckles. No straining to get enough torque on a breaker bar. Just pull the trigger and the nut/bold comes off... every time. It helped make the job much quicker and nearly stress free. Bad thing is that the tool was only a month old and already looks live a veteran of many rears in the garage. It cleaned up a little, but avoid accidentally grabbing the wrong rag and getting any brakleen on it. The lettering will come right off. I found that out the hard way.

The two XR 20Volt Max 5 amp hour batteries are fantastic. I've used these tools extensively for 10 to 12 hours in a day and they have never dropped lower than two lights on the three segmented charge meter.
With an adapter they make by old style 18 Volt recip saw run better than ever.

My only gripe about this entire kit is that the batteries don't snap solidly into the tools. There is a good bit of sloppiness and rattle. They have never come loose and for all I know this may be a feature rather than a error. Just something that dampened my enthusiasm a bit.

I see this combo has gone up dramatically in price. Hopefully they will have sales or special buys to bring the price back down.

I do not know why there are mixed reviews on this product as I received my order in 2 days with a sealed box and everything was wrapped up brand new and the batteries fit tight like they are supposed to and the price on this is fantastic! The batteries alone that come with this kit would cost you over $150 not counting the charger so you are paying another $140 for two top quality drills from a well known company Dewalt at a blow out price and I was shopping at both Home Depot and Lowes and both were over $100 more expensive and I did not even have to go out to buy it here!
I was using another Dewalt basic drill I purchased 3 years ago and these are so much easier to use and the power is amazing and only wish I would have purchased these sooner as it would have been easier to finish my home projects with the right tools!
Thanks for the great price and high quality tools!

Great drills. Drilling into concrete/brick with masonry bits is a lot more pleasant with the hammer drill versus my standard drill. The impact driver works very well for standard tasks, but I wish it had higher torque settings. I know higher torque is an unrealistic expectation for this compact battery operated impact drill, so I don’t hold this dream against it. Price feels a bit high, but it does come with two massive 20V 5AH batteries and dewalt seems to make good quality products in my experience. I’ve never been a fan of the yellow color, but it does make spotting your scattered tools a lot easier.

was very happy when placed the order. Waited too long for it to arrive at Saudi Arabia as the world get too slow due to precautions from covid19. when searching for a machine, I always avoid ordering any corded machine from the states though their prices are very attractive due to the differences in voltage as we have the 240 VAC. Moreover, was afraid that it will not be air shipped because of batteries. after all of this, it arrived and was very happy to start using it!!! discovered the charger is 120VAC????. That is unexpected as the chargers should be universal same as mobile phones?? no any mention of that in any write up about the machine..
Now it is still boxed and became useless. I like the Black and Yellow brand and it has a lot popularity in Saudi but have no dealer/Agent????
That is a very sad experience and left with no option!!

This is my first DeWalt drill and impact driver and my experience so far has been great. The hammer drill is very powerful, in fact I use it a lot in concrete with no problem. The impact driver is a must have and what I like most about this DeWalt combo is that you get two of the most popular DeWalt models. Batteries are very good, for a long day job it depends on what kind of job and surface you are working on, sometimes they can survive a full day. So far I have been very happy and satisfied with this combo.

Replaced a cheap brushed drill that finally bit the dust after about five years.

Put up a 12' x 14' gazebo on our deck which took four people about 12 hours and did not need to recharge. The impact driver's low speed mode was great for putting in roof panels and not over tightening the screws. The mid level was great for driving all the the longer screws. Drill worked very well. The metal chuck is a plus. Very happy to get something I expect to last much long than a few years.

I started a handyman business and needed a decent drill for bigger jobs. The hammer drill delivers the power I need. At first, i thought the impact drill was useless until I worked on a deck. This impact drill was able to remove many of the old screws without stripping them.

When either of the drills are on the lowest torque setting, they will give the impression that the battery is not charged. This was something I discovered the hard way when the batteries were fully charged and both drills were at their lowest setting. Without the power, I thought that the batteries needed charge but then they were. long story short, check torque settings when there is no power.

I used to work at Industrial supplier with a racing car back in the day. Almost all the trades guys recommend Dewalt with "Metal Gears" not the "big box store stuff". These XR have all metal construction and are super tough. They are surprisingly powerful and so far I haven't run a battery all the way down yet. The combo is super powerful.

The one thing I do wish: I could turn off the LED lights on the drill and impact that came with it. Its not super annoying but no off switch seems silly. Broad daylight and I have an LED on.

I have a 4 year old kit set that I bought at Lowes. I loved it, but my charger went out and my tools get used daily so I decided to buy the XR kit after doing some research. I have no regrets, first day I got it I was at a home and could not get a bolt out with my old impact. I switched to the new XR which is a heavier duty tool and it took all 4 of them off with no problems. Highly recommend XR if you use your tools more often and rely on that torque you sometimes need to get the job done!

I am getting a bit worried of the quality DeWalt is putting out with their top of the line 996 hammer drill.

The drill does work fine and has tons of power. However there are times when I feel some sort of grinding or skipping in the gears and to me it seems like dewalt quality is slipping and that is disappointing.

It would have been 5 stars for sure if not for this defect.

I upgraded from an old DeWalt 18V combo set, and it was worth every penny.

When compared to a brushed motor, brushless has more power. Less energy is wasted as friction (heat) since the rotor and stator have an air gap between them. A brushed design has brushes that make contact as the rotor spins. That generates friction, heat, and they eventually wear out and need to be replaced. Brushless motors are more complex and expensive but do away with that, generating more power output at the rotor for the same power input.

In addition, brushless motors tend to be smaller. This means the drill and impact driver are both smaller than my old ones, and this is critical for the drill.

I am a big fan of Irwin Speedbor drill bits - specifically the three-bladed bits with flutes and the screw nose. That pulls the bit through wood, making it quick and easy to drill holes at least until you get to the back edge. Anyway, drilling holes through joists or studs to pull wire where the framing is already fully installed can be difficult or impossible without a right-angle drill: the drill and bit can be wider than the stud/joist cavity (14.5"). However, a 4" Speedbor bit in this drill (shorter because brushless) easily fits in a standard stud cavity with plenty of room to spare. I no longer need to beg borrow or steal a right-angle drill.

The impact driver is an impact driver. Nothing special to report on that, just that it does its job as one would expect. Same with the charger.

I like that this kit comes with a 4AH battery. Many of DeWalt's kits come with wimpy 2AH batteries. Those will not last as long - half as long, to be precise. Better to have the extra longevity to get the job done without swapping batteries in the middle.

This may be more expensive than the non-MAX variety, but it is worth every penny and I regret nothing. Go big or go home!

Update: After a year and a half of use and abuse, these tools are still going strong. They may be nicked up and dinged up, but they just work and work well. Since buying into this battery system I have bought a few other tools and I am even more grateful for the 4AH battery. I use it for the orbital sander and the extra runtime over a smaller battery is nice. I also bought a 6AH battery. Swapping between them when sanding bigger projects works well and I never run out of juice, thanks to the rapid charger in this kit.

As far as I am concerned there are two power tool systems worth buying: DeWalt 20V Max, and Milwaukee Fuel. You spend a little extra money up front, but you also don't need to replace a broken tool a few months later which is actually more expensive in the long run.

Have impressed family and friends that own other brands of power tool. Fairly new home owner of a concrete house. Have had to make 100s of holes for many projects. The drill has been amazing. I have access to and use SDS Hammer Drills and most of the time I go for this drill. Obviously the SDS is more powerful but when taking into account the lack of cord and the lower weight, the power difference is not that big of a plus.

The Impact driver and its adjustability is amazing, I would not own a non-adjustable impact driver. On its 2nd setting it will strip the concrete on Tapcon bolts if you are not careful. Very powerful. When working on my cars I rarely bring out the my High Torque 1/2" Impact Wrench, this will break lose most bolts that you will find in a car. Obviously you'll need the big gun for lug nuts, crankshaft bolts, etc.

If you are a pro or a fearless DIYer that tackles any and all projects, it's worth it spending the extra cash on this over lesser kits.

I have many DeWalt tools. They are all very high quality. These are no exception. I saw my remodelers use an Impact Driver to drive screws, which I had used my DeWalt cordless drill for. They said it was better, and they were right. Much more powerful, yet lighter, with 3 speed settings. Low for wood screws. Higher for tougher screws. The impact feature only kicks in on higher speeds when you reach higher torque to help you drive a troublesome screw in.

I used the Hammer Drill to drill holes in some thick stucco to mount a heavy water filter on the side of my house. It drilled the holes like butter. I'm sure it would work equally well on concrete or bricks. Highly recommend.

Dewalt is a good brand, I bought this set to replace a set that was stolen off a job site. It looked great until I took plastic bags off the the tools themselves, to find both tools are so rusted it looks like they where left in water for a month . When I ordered it I believed it to be listed as new tools . The batteries on each tool like as if there are used, the ONLY thing that’s new is the plastic case they came in. It looks as if someone put the cleaned up tools in the box and return them . I am very disappointed that they are not useable tools
IF THERE WHERE NEW !!!!! This would of been a good deal. Hopefully the rest of the $$400. Of tool I ordered don’t end up being the same way

As far as the stars it is a 5tat tool’s when it is NEW !!!!!
The one stars are because this is not new tool set

In my house hold there are a large number of dewalt tools ranging from drill bits to grass trimmers for yard work, job fan , saws ,tool boxs

The new order showed up yesterday.THIS ONE IS NEW . This one had a zip tie through the case , this one had the hammer drill handle, and the right style batteries.MUCH HAPPIER!!!! That makes this a good deal .

Would be 5 stars, the impact driver works mint but the drill's forward / reverse switch didnt really hold. Put the drill down in F, pick it up to use again and it's in R. Sent back to my local dewalt dealer, they replaced the switch but it was the same. So they mailed it back to dewalt. 3 weeks later it came back to me in the mail. The switch now stays put, though it's not half the positive feel of the switch on my other dewalt tools.

I'm glad I bought these. I didn't want the impact driver but elected to get this kit because they're cheaper when you buy it all together. The tool bags are great, too.

The drill is great. As well balanced as you can get for a 3 speed drill with a chuck like this. The light has 3 settings, so if you actually think you'll need the light, you can turn it up pretty bright. The clutch doesn't let the motor keep spinning while it's slipping, it 'shimmys' the motor for a half second or so (and then stops) when it senses the load to be more than the clutch setting. Reduces mechanical wear and power consumption. The chuck seems to be very well made, and is pretty easy to wrench down on a drillbit with. Metal sleeve too, no plastic. If you want to use it, the handle goes on sturdy. The only thing I don't like about the drill is that the 'safety' is a little flimsy. It doesn't take much to pop it into F/R. Gobs of torque in the low speed, and a fast bit in the highest speed.

The impact driver is great. There are 3 "torque" (speed) settings, and the tool is very well balanced in your hand. The light is radially around the hex chuck, rather than at the foot of the tool, like on the drill. I haven't used it as much but it seems very well made. To my surprise, the 'safety' on this is pretty stout.

Both of these tools seem to be well made, and I actually like the brushless motors. I'll update this review when these have seen their days with regard to longevity or battery life, but I'm looking forward to using them more.

These seem to be pretty good drills. I really like the torque limiting on them, it seems to be electronic, and it works great. It's especially handy on the impact driver for when you're switching fastener types on the fly and don't want to carry two tools. They're a lot lighter than the old NiCd or NiMh ones, which is good. I hope the batteries last.

Hi , I tried to charge my batteries in France , however a smoke started coming from the charger , and not working any more , I guess this is because it's designed to work with 110 V , can you advise if you have the same batteries charger that can work in European countires , or any recommended power converter from 220V to 110 V
thanks

I'm not a tool guy to be honest, but my little experience I have allow me to understand the essentials. I climb cell towers for work, and prefer a light load. These aren't exactly light, but they last forever while I'm on a tower top. I had accidently dropped my drill from a 28 foot tower, it hit the asphalt parking lot below and disconnected the battery, but it still worked. On the topic of the drill, we have to use the drill and a special tool to strip 7/8 inch coax to prepare for connectors, this drill is perfect for that. With highly adjustable speeds you can ensure you have an accurate strip without ripping the copper bare. I've never used Milwuakee so I can't say whether this is better than them or not, but these are fantastic tools.

I was very pleased with my choice of this drill set, which I researched extensively before ordering it.
DEWALT DCK299P2 20V MAX XR Lithium Ion has already been used a couple of times and those who used it were very satisfied. I expect that this drill set will be helping everybody in the family, as we'll keep it on loan for any relative who wants to borrow it...

Awesome set. Both pieces, drill and driver, get a huge amount of use in my shop. I work on motorcycles, racing karts, cars, and wood working in my garage/shop. Both get a huge amount of use. I finally cut the cord with my electric drill (although for really heavy duty use I still have my 3/8" and 1/2" corded drills in my toolbox and use this drill the majority of the time. Put together an impromptu club house for my son with leftover plywood and 2x4s, bouncing back and forth with both tools to drill holes, drive screws and it was way easier than running a cord out to the yard. The driver is great for removing nuts and bolts (although I don't use it for installing except for bigger nuts and bolts that I know I won't over torque, then finish with a torque wrench). Easier even than using my air tools although due to the form factor my air ratchet gets more use around my car (and of course air impact driver for removal of wheel lug nuts - this driver doesn't have to torque to deal with lug nuts at 94 ft lb). Lasts a long, long time on a charge. Get it, you won't regret it.

I've already gotten a lot of use out of these. The larger battery packs lasts forever, I'm by no means a professional (just do small house projects), but with the battery life I've experienced these could easily be professional use without running low and needing to recharge often. Even with the larger battery packs the tools have a nice balance and aren't too heavy for my use (6 ft, 205 lbs).

The Impact Driver is excellent, with a nice degree of torque settings to offer everything between light/delicate assembly use to full on heavy duty use like firmly tightening bolts. Haven't used the drill a ton yet but it's worked for the small jobs I've needed it for and always have the plug in drill if I really needed the extra power. I put an entire 10x8 yard shed together with the impact driver and didn't even put a dent in the battery, literally hundreds of bolts/screws and didn't blink an eye.

For price point im going to be extremely picky. This is the set you want. Pure power and long battery life with hard case. The impact drives 6 inch coarse wood screws faster than ridgid drove a 3. I ran these ruthlessly for 2 days building a work bench and bench seat. I could not run down the batteries to zero. 3 inch screws all day. Easily 300 1/2 inch drill bit pocket screw pilot holes and 300 screws.

Negatives.
Should come with belt clips and bit holders. $300 set come on dewalt. Both chucks. Impact every so often sticks and bit is slightly a pain to get out. Drill driver is sensitive to neutral lock and hand tightening chuck to bit as per instructions. Can overtighten easily and turn gears. (Its just different) Battery mount is a little loose and should be a better fitment. impact 3 speed select. Speed one is just to low in my opinion on the torque not so much speed. But to each his own. 3 speed will torque a pan head kreg hd screw clean through a pressure treated 2x4! Great job dewalt!

I buy DeWalt products regularly, but frankly have seen one too many fail prematurely. Of the eight DeWalt devices I have purchased, I have had significant issues with three. The batteries are way overpriced. So, why do I buy them? Because I share batteries and have sort of locked myself into this line.

We needed another set for our gang box as with bigger jobs, more people are taking off with the 4.0ah kit we already had. I like the way this one comes with the plastic box instead of the bag we got with the other. Makes for better stacking of devices and storage boxes in the gang box.

I cannot really say if I notice a whole lot different from the 4.0 we had already but the same quality is there and that is what counts. The batteries last a long time, the torque can rip your arm off if you are not paying attention, the charge is pretty quick, the charger also charges the 12V battery of our flashlight and although the light placement is not the best, it is good for a quick guide before drilling.

I have owned Makita, Milwaukee, Dewalt and I believe I had one off brand (do not even remember the name) and Dewalt was by far the best.

I would buy this in an instant again.

Expected quality. Plenty of power. Good battery life. The speed chuck holds fairly well. I have had it spin loose but not really any more than others. The hammer is not super powerful, so if you want a concrete drill this is not for you. It works just fine for drilling small holes in block or concrete for TapCons or small to moderate anchors, but if you want to punch 1" holes through poured walls, you will need a lot more. You get what you pay for. The bag is just right. Not a struggle to get the stuff inside and a tad more room for some little extras. Outside pockets are great for small bit case or drivers. Well thought out. Only gripe, and it is minor, is that it is difficult to zip the bag sometimes. Pleased with the weight. Heavy enough that you don't feel like it will break if you look at it or that it is junky, but light enough to use without fatigue. The speed control on the impact unit is not a gearing like on the drill. It merely limits the motor power like the trigger so I'm not sure it buys you much other than helping if you are driving machine screws fast and want to reduce the potential for stripping.
