Which DEWALT 20V Drill Set Fits Your Workbench?

The DEWALT 20V Max Cordless Drill Driver Set, DCD771C2, is the classic entry kit. Its motor delivers 300 unit watts out, a 2-speed transmission runs 0 to 450 and 0 to 1,500 RPM, and a 1/2 inch single sleeve ratcheting chuck grips bits tightly. The kit includes two XR 1.3Ah batteries, a charger and a contractor bag.

The listing is clear about its limits: it suits home repairs, light construction, and drilling wood, plastic and light metal, and it is not suitable for concrete, masonry or heavy industrial use. Torque appears as 650 in-lbs in one spec line and 530 in-lbs in another, so the listing does not settle the exact figure. The 1.3Ah batteries keep it light but run out sooner on big jobs.

It suits assembling flat-pack furniture, hanging shelves and mounting a monitor arm. If you drive a lot of long screws, the DCK240C2 adds an impact driver; if you want longer runtime, the brushless DCD777D1 is the step up.

The DEWALT 20V MAX Cordless Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit, DCK240C2, pairs the DCD771 compact drill with a 1/4 inch impact driver. The listing gives specific sizes: the impact driver is 5.55 inches long and 2.8 pounds, and the drill is 7.5 inches and 3.6 pounds. Both have LED work lights with a 20-second delay.

The impact driver has a 1/4 inch hex chuck for one-handed loading of 1 inch bit tips, while the drill keeps the 1/2 inch ratcheting chuck. The kit includes two batteries, a charger and a bag, and a 3 year limited warranty. The listing does not specify battery capacity or describe either tool as brushless, and the “Brushed” line in the specs refers to finish, so treat it as unconfirmed. The description names the impact driver as DCF88M2, which may be a typo.

• Compact drill and 1/4 inch impact driver
• LED lights with 20-second delay on both
• 3 year limited warranty

It suits DIYers who want both tools without paying extra for brushless. For bigger builds, the DCK277D2 brings brushless motors and 2.0Ah batteries.

The DEWALT 20V MAX* Cordless Drill Driver Kit with a 100-piece screwdriver and drill bit set bundles the same DCD771C2 drill with DEWALT’s DWA2FTS100 accessory set. The set includes Impact Ready, Tough Case and Pilot Point drive and drill bits, so you can start working the day it arrives.

The drill offers 300 UWO, two speeds and 1.3Ah lithium-ion batteries. Specs list drilling capacity of 39mm in wood and 13mm in metal. The maximum chuck size appears as 20mm in the specs and 200mm in the description, both of which conflict with the 1/2 inch chuck on the DCD771 elsewhere, so treat those figures as errors. It suits new tool owners who have no bits yet. If you already own a bit set, the plain DCD771C2 is the same drill.

The DEWALT 20V MAX Cordless Drill and Impact Driver Brushless Combo Kit, DCK277D2, is the most capable new kit here. It includes the DCD777 1/2 inch brushless drill/driver and the DCF787 1/4 inch brushless impact driver, two 2.0Ah compact batteries, a charger and a contractor bag.

The drill is 7.6 inches front to back with an ergonomic grip, an LED with a 20-second delay and a variable speed trigger for control on delicate surfaces. The specs list 1,500 in-lbs of torque and 2,800 RPM, which likely describe the impact driver, though the listing does not say which tool. The warranty line lists a 3 year limited warranty, a 1 year free service contract and a 90 day money back guarantee.

• Brushless drill and brushless impact driver
• Two 2.0Ah batteries
• LED with 20-second delay

It suits anyone building furniture, framing a partition or doing a room makeover. Brushless motors run cooler and more efficiently, and the larger batteries go longer between charges. For more on DEWALT drills in general, see our guide to the DEWALT 20V MAX drill lineup.

The DEWALT 20V MAX Cordless Drill Driver Set, DCD777D1, gives you the brushless DCD777 drill on its own with one 2.0Ah battery and a charger. The listing says the brushless motor delivers more runtime than brushed, and the tool is 7.6 inches front to back with an ergonomic grip and an LED with a 20-second delay.

It has a 2-speed transmission, a 1/2 inch single-sleeve ratcheting chuck and 53.1 Nm of max torque. Power appears as 300 watts in the specs and 340 UWO in the description. It carries a 3 year limited warranty. With only one battery, you will pause to recharge on long jobs. It suits someone who wants brushless efficiency in a drill-only kit; if you want an impact driver too, the DCK277D2 includes the same drill.

The DEWALT DCK225D2R 20V MAX ATOMIC 1/2 in. Drill Driver and 1/4 in. Impact Driver Combo Kit is sold renewed under the Amazon Renewed program, so it is a refurbished kit rather than new. It pairs the DCD794 drill, DEWALT’s shortest 20V MAX drill driver at a 5.88 inch head length, with the DCF809 impact driver, which is 5.1 inches long and delivers 1,700 in-lbs of torque.

Both tools belong to the ATOMIC COMPACT SERIES, have onboard LEDs, and the description calls both brushless. The listing claims up to 16% more power for drilling applications and uses 2Ah batteries. It lists seven items in the kit without naming each one. It suits anyone working inside cabinets, behind desks or in tight cable runs, and who is comfortable buying renewed. If you prefer a new kit with full warranty clarity, the DCK277D2 is the safer bet.
