When I moved to my first apartment after college, I bought a cheapo drll from Sears because I was broke. 10 years, a wife, 2 kids, and a house later, I was still using that cheapo drill. It was still running, so I just kept using it even though I would see some fancier ones at Home Depot. Why, oh why, I waited so long to upgrade my drill and figure out what an impact driver does is one of the regrets I’ll be thinking about on my death bed.Honestly, usage you get out of this drill and impact driver compared to its price is hard to beat. The drill makes drilling holes through concrete, wooden posts, stucco, dry wall, etc. so easy. I mean it’s almost scary how fast and accurate the drill is. I didn’t even know what impact drivers were until I ordered this, but oh man I can’t believe I built 30 pieces of furniture without one. Although I will say, a powerful impact driver + cheap quality screws is not going to be fun. The drill bits are going to demolish the screw, even at the lowest speed setting.I could not be happier with this set. I’m not a handy person at all but now I’m trying to find projects to do so I get to use these tools more.

I would have bought them a long time ago if I knew how powerful these drills are! I have built many things with them, and they have never disappointed. I didn’t experience any fatigue from using the drills for long periods like I have experienced working with other drills. I own several expensive brand drills, but find that I always reach for the Dewalt. The Batteries last for a very long time & they charge up fast. The drills are easy to use, and are very powerful drill set. I would highly recommend it.

Don’t bother with thinking you’ll save some money by buying some low budget 18-Volt tools… The 20 Volt DeWalt tools are like having a NASCAR, and everything else is just a Prius… Bought this set for my 23 yr old Grandson. Me, I build Movie Sets (for over 35 years), and I’m frequently on Location out in the middle of nowhere; so I have a full collection for myself. Note: 20 Volt DeWalt is the ONLY Brand you’ll ever see on a Film Crew Set.

The battery life isn’t as good as the older drills, but they recharge faster so there’s give and take. I bought a set of spare batteries and I swap and charge pretty often. That keeps up with heavy use very well. I put the steps and landing together in a part day using the drill to pre drill, and the impact to drive the screws. Never had to wait for charge with the extra set of batteries. The impact wouldn’t set a 3 1/2″ deck screw through a 2×4 and into a 4×4. It killed the battery dead with one screw. However, the drill/driver did it just fine. It has to be the gear ratio, because the impact is really fast.

Did a ton of research, including talking to the Dewalt service people, pouring over technical specs and the likes before settling on this set for my husband. He’s a very high end tool user – we have a small farm and have built everything except the main house ourselves (horse barns/fences/decks/docks/sidewalks/finishing interior work/you name it.) He also does all of our vehicle and equipment maintenance. So his drills took a ton of use and he ran through batteries like a kid eating candy. I wanted something powerful, that wouldn’t crap out part of the way through a job, with batteries that didn’t need to be constantly swapped.This set has definitely delivered! Here’s his commentary specifically on the driver: “Excellent torque/power for a quarter inch driver. When we originally built the dock on our pond I used a half inch air impact to drive 8” lag screws through dimensional lumber into recycled telephone pole pilings. Some recent repairs required removing and reattaching some of the 8” lags. I was skeptical but decided to give it a try with the quarter inch Dewalt XR cordless. Not only did it do it, I think it sank the lags faster than the half inch air gun. I was amazed. One piece of advice, buy some quality socket adapters. I gave one of the lags an extra crank to really sink it tight and it broke my cheapo 3/8 socket adapter.”One word of caution: My husband is so happy and impressed, he’s seizing every opportunity to buy the “sister” tools! I needed a large shelf/platform built between the beams in the horse barn and noticed a brand new Dewalt saw in use. lol!!

Finally built a wood workshop and bought these on sale for $189 to augment a single 18v DeWalt, was tired of swapping bits like a rookie.1. POWERFUL. Can’t imagine a use for power setting 3 (both units have 3 levels), maybe turning a Ferris wheel or winching a monster truck out of the mud? Sheesh. If I find a use for 3rd gear I’ll report back. Drove 3.5″ hex screws using level 2 into hard lumber like push pins. Direct brushless power is the way to go, unreal.2. Having 3 LED lights is more useful than I would have imagined. If you have a single LED . . . no more shadows.3. Battery indicator on back of battery (not on the bottom) is smart.4. Impact driver – 1/4″ quick release means bits are a one hand operation both in and out. When it hits resistance and the impact kicks in, whatever’s on the business end becomes a helpless victim. But put it on power level 1 and it’s delicate enough to drive 1/2″ weak sauce screws into soft wood.5. Belt clips are easy to add / remove, smart design. Unnecessary in the workshop, but need em on the ladder. Zip zip, done.6. Don’t need the case for the drills but it’s big enough to hold my bass drum pedal and stick bag perfect.Ever buy something and be happy with the purchase every time you use it? Yeah, this.
Candid Reviewer –
The Dewalt DCK283D2 MAX XR Lithium Ion Brushless Compact Drill and Driver set is, at the time of this review (Aug 9, 2016) the latest and greatest iteration of Dewalt’s 20V Compact Drill and Impact Driver. I bought them as an upgrade for the older 18V Dewalt tools (hammer drill, compact drill, and circular saw) which I have owned for almost a decade. All I can say is HOLY COW THESE ARE AMAZING!It’s stunning how far technology has come. Compared to my older 18V tools–which were very good–these are considerably smaller, lighter, and more powerful, plus just as durable or more so! Seriously, I should have upgraded sooner. Of course, it’s probably a good thing I waited, as these newest versions (DCD791 Compact Drill and DCF887 Impact Driver) have the advantage of better illumination options (brighter LEDs, with a 20 second standard shut off delay after activation, as well as a 20-minute illumination option). Far from a gimmick, the brightness and placement of these lights is a major convenience any time you have to drive a fastener from inside a dark cabinet or other confined/poorly lit space.Dewalt also makes a hammer drill version of their compact drill, as well as a full size regular and full size hammer drill. I decided that if I ever need the power of a hammer drill, I will invest in the full-size hammer drill. But for 95% of all things I do or make with my tools, this DCD791 Compact Drill has PLENTY of power, and the light weight and slim form factor are amazing. I can get into small spaces much easier, and support the tool for much longer without fatigue. Need to drive a 2-1/4″ hole-saw through 3/4″ plywood? No problem! I’m totally thrilled with this compact drill’s performance.The Impact Driver is equally exciting. Even more compact than the drill, it offers a nearly ideal balance between brute power (especially on setting 3) and delicate driving tasks (settings 2 or 1). Thanks to the reduced speed as well as reduced torque on setting 1, I am comfortable driving even relatively delicate #6 and #4 screws into wood with it. And on setting 2, it drives #8 1-1/2″ screws very quickly, with the impact function kicking in just as the head of the fastener begins to seat. Perfect! I’ve driven a few hundred screws with it now–about four times faster than I can drive them with my old 12V Bosch driver–and not one seated too deeply or tore out. 90% of the time I leave it on setting 2 and the sensitivity of the trigger gives me enough control to drive fasteners anywhere from reassuringly slow to blazingly fast. As I previously alluded, I also find that the level of control with an impact driver is markedly better (compared to a standard cordless driver) when seating fasteners flush. The ratchet provides audible and palpable feedback at the moment the fastner is beginning to seat and tighten, making it a lot easier to avoid over-driving the fastener below the surface of your material.A couple of things to know about these 20V tools…. First, 20V is the max operating voltage; these are technically 18V tools, so the 20V claim is a bit of a marketing gimmick. What makes them “more powerful” is not the voltage but the fact that they use better parts/components than the 18V tool line that Dewalt also still sells. At the same time, they are also more compact than most equivalent tools in the 18V line. The chief advantage over the older 18V tools is the use of Lithium Ion (memory-less) batteries. My older 18V batteries HAD to be fully discharged and recharged at least once every month or they would go bad alarmingly quickly. Since I’m the kind of guy who tends to tackle a nine-month boat-building project, and then take a few months off before I start something else, this meant I kept finding myself needing to buy expensive replacement batteries. After doing that twice–and spending WAY too many years juggling four half-dead batteries between my tools and two charging stations–I finally upgraded to this newer 20V system. WOW… the batteries are so much lighter, smaller, and more powerful… and they don’t seem to discharge (let alone go bad) at all, even if left unattended and uncharged for more than a month. This is a major improvement over the NiCad 18V batteries, which would need to be replaced or would barely hold a charge if neglected to that same extent. Also, just for reference, I recently built a rolling kitchen island for my wife (22″ x 36″ x 35-1/4″), plus four small portable tool-organizer cabinets (11″ x 11″ x 18″) over the past two weeks using this drill and driver. At present, I still have not recharged anything. The impact driver battery still shows a full three bars of power and the drill battery shows two bars of power when I press the battery gauge. So not only do they hold a charge well, but they obviously operate quite efficiently. I’ve been doing a lot of drilling and fastening on these projects, including making a few cutouts for power cords with a 2″ and a 1-1/4″ hole-saw. I’ve also dropped them three times already from approximately 3′ height–hard enough to bounce them–but the plastic and rubber cladding are so durable there is no sign of any scuff or crack. This is the familiar DeWalt build quality that I’ve come to know and love!If you are still using the older 18V tools with batteries that don’t hold a charge like they used to, or if you’re still using corded tools, or if you don’t have a drill/driver and think you might like one, do yourself a favor and BUY THIS SET. It is outstanding, and it will do 95% of what most DIY’ers need to do with these tools. The only reason to look at the full size or hammer drill versions is if you’re pretty certain you will need to drill into stone, brick, or masonry at some point (and more than once or twice). In that case, a hammer drill is pretty much a necessity and will save you considerable effort.[UPDATE 8-20-2016: Today my drill’s battery dropped to one bar for the first time since I began using this set. So that means the 2Ah battery lasted approximately three weeks, during which time I built a rolling kitchen island, three mini tool-organizer cabinets, a rack for organizing my clamps, a large drawer, and a few miscellaneous small tool holders, plus drilled over a dozen holes through 3/4″ plywood with hole saws ranging from 1-1/4 to 2-1/4″ diameter. That’s a LOT of drilling and driving, and I’m sure I could have kept going for awhile since it just dropped from two to one bar today. The impact driver currently still has two of three bars when I check the battery gauge, so it has yet to see the charger. This is such a great set. So lightweight and compact, yet very powerful. Not once have these tools bogged down or even slowed in operation. Awesome.]

These were the first DeWalt cordless tools I ever purchased. Up until now it has been Bosch, Bosch, more Bosch, and some Bosch thrown in for variety (and one 10 year old Makita that refuses to die). Then I discovered some youtube channels that touted DeWalt as the best. Pfftt .. .DeWalt? You mean Bosch? lol Let me tell you, friends, this drill is as smooth as glass, tons of power, and very fine speed control on the trigger. The driver … a beast. I drove in 3/8″x4″ lag bolts (about 80 of them) on a single charge. Forget how it drove them in like hot wire going through butter, forget the smoothness, forget it all …. that tiny battery held up and let me finish the job on a single charge.What I would change is … nothing. Maybe a double charger so I can charge both batteries at the same time? Or maybe one extra battery? I am so happy with these two tools I am officially defecting to Team Yellow. Sorry, Team Blue, the love is gone. I have a new interest in my shop. And it’s yellow. 🙂

Been great so far. Only thing I can’t comment on is the batter life as I haven’t used it quite enough to get a good feel for it.The normal drill is great, and a much needed updrade from my 12V base model (non XR whatever) from 12 years ago. And it’s MUCH lighter. Aside from the power, this is the most notable and welcomed difference from older drills.I thought having the light would bug me, as I don’t think you can turn it off. It doesn’t. It’s awesome and I’m always glad it’s there regardless of the project at hand. Belt clips are also nice.As for the impact driver – after having it save me from a frustrating experience, I’m going to go ahead and say it’s a must have in your tool collection if you don’t have one. I was late to the game knowing about these, and wow do I regret that after having just resurfaced a deck a couple years ago. Simply put – if you’re driving in screws, especially in treated or hard wood, fence, deck, deck blocking, tile sub floor etc…. it just puts them right in. In my case, I had some very tight spots I needed to put some screws in – there was simply no way I could get the angle needed for enough push with a normal drill. I finally tried this out, and boom, in they go.If I hold down the trigger and just watch the bit spin, yeah, there is a wobble. But I’m thinking that is what’s supposed to be happening (it’s almost comical when using a 6″ extended driver bit, lol). It didn’t seem to affect much when I was actually putting in the screws.One note – why I first got it, I put the battery into the charger in what I thought was the right spot. Turns out, you need to push it to make sure it clicks all the way in. If you don’t, the contacts hit enough to light up the charging light (so, at that point, you might think it’s all the way in), but then it will turn to “charged” immediately, which is of course wrong.

Order these on a whim. I needed some new Dewalt’s and saw this package deal for 20v Lithium drill set. Now, I will say this – Title is slightly deceiving as it’s 20v Max and 12v base. Still does the job and works extremely well!! Used it to put my 4.5″ lift kit on my 92 Jeep and had no issues for the most part. Battery life is decent. For consistent pick up and use I got about a good 4 solid hours before she needed to change the battery ( That is undo a bolts, put down, line up new shackles thread on new bolts and then use dewalt to set them and lock them down).PROS:Lightweight, Great Price, Good Power (will lock on bolts super tight), Nice bag, quick charging timesCONS:States 12v with 20v Max – Not a true 20v, The LED light on the Impact drill is located under the bit, makes it hard to see what you are doing above it to line something up..Overall – For the price and what you get, I couldn’t be happier! It helped me get the job done and will be using it for other jobs as well!
