The 10 Best Cordless Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kits
Two-tool drill and impact driver kits with batteries and charger, ranked from live Amazon data.
Ranked by ToolboxTop10 from Amazon data captured Oct 10, 2026. How we rank
A combo kit pairs a drill/driver with an impact driver, two batteries and a charger, the starter set for most cordless tool owners. We ranked 10 best-sellers from DEWALT, Milwaukee, Makita, Bosch, CRAFTSMAN and Greenworks on rating, review volume and features (brushless motors, two batteries, a 1/2-inch drill chuck and a bag or case). Choose the battery platform first; it decides which tools you can add later.
Batteries only fit their own brand's platform, so the best tool for you is often the best
one that runs on the packs you already have. Here's our top-ranked pick on each platform on this page.
A tool-only model skips the cost of a battery and charger you don't need.
Tools sold as "compatible with" another brand's batteries aren't listed here. They're made by third parties, and the battery brand doesn't warrant them.
Where the deals are
The tools ranked here come from DEWALT, CRAFTSMAN, Bosch, Greenworks, Milwaukee, and Makita. Prices on these brands move week to
week on Amazon, and the deepest cuts usually land around Prime Day and Black Friday.
Every price button on this page opens the live listing, so you always see today's
number, not the one we captured on 2026-10-10. If your pick is over budget
right now, check back in a few days — DEWALT and CRAFTSMAN rotate through sales and bundle
deals often.

How we rank
Every tool gets one score from 0 to 100, weighted
45% on its star rating,
35% on how many people have reviewed it (more reviews = more
confidence the rating is real), and 20% on the features that
matter for the job. The list is ordered by that score. Best Overall is our pick for the
best all-around, ready-to-use tool; Best Budget the best value at or under
$160; and Money No Object the one to buy if price is no object.
The features score is built from a brushless motor (35%), two batteries (25%), half inch chuck (20%), bag or case (20%), capped at 100. The review-count score is on a log scale, so each tenfold jump in reviews adds the same amount, and 60,000 or more reviews gets full marks. Open Why this score on any tool to see its numbers.

Buyer's guide
Why buy a combo kit?
A drill and an impact driver cover nearly every drilling and driving job, and the kit price usually costs less than the two tools and batteries bought separately. More importantly, it puts you on a battery platform you'll use for future tools.
Which battery platform?
Pick the one whose other tools you'll want. DEWALT 20V MAX, Milwaukee M18 and Makita 18V LXT have the widest ranges. CRAFTSMAN V20, RYOBI ONE+ and Greenworks 24V are cheaper with fewer pro tools.
12V or 18V/20V?
12V tools are smaller and lighter, great for cabinets, electrical and overhead work. 18V/20V tools have more power for big holes, long screws and masonry.
Is brushless worth it?
Yes if you use the tools often: brushless motors run cooler, last longer and get more work per charge. For occasional home use, a brushed kit like the DCK240C2 is fine.
What does a hammer drill add?
A hammer mode pounds as it spins, for drilling small holes in brick and concrete. It's useful for anchors; for big masonry holes, use a rotary hammer.
Tools to avoid
Not everything in the search results deserves your money.

MICWELL
Cordless Impact Driver and Drill Combo Kit (Tool Only) Compatible with Dewalt 20V Max Battery, Up to 2300 In-lbs
4.5302 reviews$75.99
It's sold as a combo kit but includes no battery or charger, and claims more impact torque than DEWALT's own impact driver.
Why we'd skip it
The listing says in bold that it does 'NOT INCLUDE BATTERY AND CHARGER, TOOL ONLY', while the title calls it a 'Combo Kit', which on the DEWALT, Milwaukee and Makita kits here means batteries and charger in the box.
It claims up to 2,300 in-lbs from the impact driver, versus 1,500 in-lb for DEWALT's DCF787 in the DCK277D2, on the same DEWALT batteries.
DEWALT's own DCK240C2 kit, with two batteries, a charger and a bag, has 61,088 reviews.
