We used the dewalt DCK240C2. Felt this was not strong enough!

For the money I paid, this kit was a very good helper. The drill's front part is called the chuck. It can get loose by itself.

Best purchase I made. Batteries last well and don't need to drag extension cord around.

Honestly, probably my DEWALT 20V MAX CORDLESS Drill Combo Kit, 2-Tool (DCK240C2)

I still wouldn't buy it, though, I'd get the Metabo HPT kit, or spend more for a brushless combo kit from Dewalt or Milwaukee.

Unfortunately, they failed relatively quickly, but being so far away warranty service was not an option.

Plenty of power and the batteries last forever.

I have owned that kit for many years, it's still going strong after much homeowner\DIY work. Just finished 300' of fence last week.

An excellent choice for the light-duty contractors and a fine introduction to DIY beginners, the DeWalt DCK240C2 combo kit is a great deal.

I am thoroughly impressed with the performance, features, and value of the DEWALT DCK240C2 20v Lithium Drill Driver/Impact Combo Kit.

For what I do, small engines, motorcycles/atv's and side-by-sides and a few compact tractors, it's my absolute favorite tool.

I've had mine for about 6 months, and I love it! Call me old school, but brushed tools haven't disappointed me yet.
