Say your New Year’s resolution is to get more done around the house. Or you’re just looking to upgrade an old pair of tools and already live in the DeWalt ecosystem (or want to get into it). Lowe’s is offering 35 percent off this DeWalt 20-Volt Max Impact Driver and Drill Set, which includes two solid power tools plus two batteries and a charger. Considering that one of these 20-volt, 2-amp-hour batteries costs $99 solo, this $149 bundle is a worthwhile investment.
DeWalt 20-Volt Max Impact Driver and Drill Set
The first tool is DeWalt’s 20-volt Max impact driver with a brushless motor. It features a ¼-inch chuck, which facilitates quick changing of small bits. Its max 1,700 inch-pounds of torque and 3,200 rotations per minute make it an excellent option for everything from cabinet screws to longer, larger deck screws. The brushless motor is a hefty upgrade over the traditional brushed kind, offering longer runtime, more power, and better durability.
Given its small size, the impact driver is easy to maneuver in tight spaces, while an LED ring around the chuck illuminates dark work areas. It’s an upgrade from the single-LED systems, which don’t illuminate as well and often leave stark shadows. A rubber coating on the grip makes it more comfortable to hold. The variable speed trigger gives you precise control—helpful when working with different materials. It makes it easier to avoid overdriving or stripping screws.
The kit also includes a compact 20-volt Max drill-driver with a brushless motor, which is just 6.38 inches from front to back, allowing you to use it in tight spaces. The ½-inch ratcheting chuck accommodates larger bits, and the 15 clutch settings are plenty for finding the just right amount of torque. The drill delivers up to 1,650 rpm, though that’s under no load—the speed will vary depending on the material you’re working with and the task at hand.
The drill also includes a variable speed trigger and two-speed transmission. Though there’s no LED ring, a single LED at the base of the tool helps you see what you’re drilling when working inside cabinetry. This kit comes with two 2.0-amp-hour batteries, and each features a three-light “fuel gauge” to let you know how much charge is left. Speaking of which, a charger comes included, though it can only top off one battery at a time.
DeWalt 20-Volt 5.0-Amp-Hour and Charger Set (2-Pack)
In addition to that combo kit, Lowe’s is offering $40 off this DeWalt 20-Volt 2-Pack 5.0-Amp-Hour and Charger Set. On top of that, you can choose two free gifts with the deal, including an impact driver and a heat gun—a combined $349 value. If you have a lot of unfinished projects, new batteries are a sound investment, especially at a discounted price. Both deals are valid until January 22, but getting started now means you can tackle those pending projects sooner.
