#20 volt dewalt drill and impact driver

I prefer the Atomic compact tools or the XR series, although I recently picked up my first 12v Dewalt tool, an Extreme extended reach ratchet, and I am pleased so far.īosch is another brand in my inventor. Make sure you go brushless, as I think their entry level price leaders are still brushed.

The Atomic is their compact, then there’s the regular 20v, and the XR. Any number of suppliers offer inexpensive hex drill bits that fit a driver, and they’re good enough for most household use.ĭewalt offers several grades of drills and drivers.

I use a driver far more than a drill these days. Not a perfect solution, but it kept my fifteen year old drill in service, and I still use it as a spare. I bought the adapter that retrofits my old 18 v Dewalt drill to the 20v lithium batteries. Another option is this kit which has a hammer drill instead of a standard drill, but more importantly in my opinion, it has the powerstack batteries which are awesome.Īs Brandon mentioned above, the Dewalt atomic stuff is incredible for the size/weight, but not available at Lowes to my knowledge.

You could get a nice Dewalt brushless drill and impact driver for $169 here which seems like a steal. but the fact is, you can (and should) have both. There are pages and pages here on the question of 'if you could have only one' etc. I personally would not be without an impact driver. I don't know what price point you're looking at, and/or how much your gift card is for, but a drill/driver combo from nearly any brand with some offset from a gift card is going to be a fantastic invesent. That said, there are still some great options available to you. Basically, you're missing Milwaukee, Makita, Ridgid, and Ryobi.
