DEWALT DCK277D2 Drill & Impact Driver Combo Kit Deal

The DEWALT DCK277D2 brushless 2-tool combo drops to $169 with two batteries, a charger, and a bag — here's who it makes sense for and what to know before buying.

What you're actually getting for $169

The DCK277D2 bundles a brushless 20V MAX drill/driver and a brushless impact driver — both on DEWALT's widely supported 20V battery platform. Brushless motors run cooler and longer than brushed ones, which matters if you're using these for anything beyond occasional weekend tasks. The kit ships with two 2.0Ah batteries, a charger, and a contractor bag. Two batteries at this price point is the real hook: you can keep one on the charger while the other is in the tool, which eliminates the most common frustration with budget combo kits.

Good fit, and where it falls short

This combo suits homeowners stepping up from a single cheap drill, or anyone finally committing to the DEWALT 20V ecosystem — that battery compatibility pays off long-term across dozens of other tools. The honest limitation: the included 2.0Ah packs are on the smaller side. For sustained use on a job site or heavy framing work, you'd eventually want to add 4.0Ah or 5.0Ah batteries. At $169 it's competitive for brushless, but if you already own 20V batteries, a bare-tool bundle might stretch further.
