Dewalt’s 20V Max brushless drills and impact drivers are quite good. We tend to be more enamored with Milwaukee’s Fuel brushless tools these days, but Dewalt still makes a very fine product.
I was initially hesitant about Dewalt’s compact brushless DCD790 drill and DCD795 compact brushless hammer drill, but have since warmed up to them a little more.

The DCF886 is a nice model, and was our 2015 Editor’s Choice for Best Cordless Impact Driver. Now that the 3-speed Dewalt DCF887 is coming out, the DCF886 might be unseated in next year’s recommendations.
I came across a fantastic deal on a Dewalt brushless combo, but instead of just telling you about it, let’s lead up to it.
The DCD795 hammer drill kit is $220 via Amazon, before $25 off $100 coupon. Okay, so that’s $195 after discount.
The DCF886 impact driver, bare tool, is $129 via Amazon, before $25 off $100 discount, or $104 after.
So that’s about $300 for a complete kit of the DCD795 hammer drill and DCF886 impact driver, plus (2) 2.0Ah Li-ion battery packs.
Sounds about right.

You can buy the Dewalt DCK286D2 kit, which comes with the 20V Max brushless compact hammer drill and impact driver, for $299, and while it’s not eligible for the $25 off $100 promo, it’s part of Amazon’s Dewalt Bolt-On promotion.
As part of the Dewalt Bolt-On promo, if you buy that kit you can get a free circular saw (our editor’s choice for best cordless circular saw, but currently out of stock), or a free premium reciprocating saw, or a free angle grinder, or a free 3.0Ah battery. Check here for details.
Right now, at Home Depot, there’s a new Dewalt 20V Max brushless combo that I saw in stores that’s also available online – DCKTS386D2.
The DCKTS386D2 kit comes with:
- DCD795 brushless hammer drill
- DCF886 brushless impact driver
- DCL040 LED worklight
- ToughSystem tool storage box
- 2x 2.0Ah Li-ion battery packs
- Multi-voltage charger (20V Max and 12V Max)
I love these Dewalt ToughSystem tool boxes, and the large one ($50 via Amazon) is also eligible for the holiday $25 off $100+ promo. The DCL040 LED worklight is $44 via Amazon.
The price for the DCKTS386D2 kit is $299, or $294 after HDHOLIDAY coupon code (expires 12/03/2015).
If you ask me, this is a great buy. For the price of the hammer drill and impact driver kit, you get this special bundle, which also has an LED worklight and ToughSystem tool box.
Price: $294 after HDHOLIDAY coupon, with FREE SHIPPING

lower price at CPO! http://www.cpooutlets.com/dewalt-dckts390dm2-20v-max-cordless-lithium-ion-3-tool-combo-kit-with-ds400-xl-toughsystem-case/dewndckts390dm2,default,pd.html

That’s a totally different kit.
Stuart
Thanks! But…
The kit I posted about comes with Dewalt’s compact brushless tools.
The kit you posted about comes with their older brushed models. It’s an okay deal, but not as HOT, imho.
Eric Vollmuth
Sorry, guys. Got excited and didn’t check closely. Brushless definitely better if its in the budget. Thanks for catching

It looks to be that only applies in-store at your Green Bay location? If I was visiting relatives in Ironwood, MI I would be making a detour to stop in
Jim D
The Door busters are the only ones that have to be in store, and most of those can actually be ordered anyway. Send me an email if there is something you are looking at. [email protected]

Wow!! Jim, that’s some good deals there! If I didn’t already have the 12/20v Max DeWalt Radio/Charger, I’d be all over that. Your price is slightly less than it cost me out of pocket when I bought mine earlier this year, and I did it using HD’s price match guarantee of a local competitor’s sale price along with a $25 gift card!
Tad
This is a great deal……..thanks Stuart.
Keep up the great job!
TG
This is a similar deal with different model numbers? hotter deal or not so much? http://www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-20-Volt-MAX-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-Combo-Kit-with-Tough-Case-3-Tool-DCKTS390DM2/205865706

That kit has a 3-speed and more powerful brushed motor drill, and brushed impact driver.

I’ve been tempted for a few months and finally pulled the trigger today. Price dropped to $229, so I paid $222 with tax after military discount. Just charged the batteries and have one in the Bluetooth speaker I picked up a few weeks ago, with it linked to the Kindle as I kinda watch SB50. Technology is great, isn’t it? I’m not the biggest football fan, but love linking stuff–mobile hot spot to Kindle, Kindle to DW speaker, all of it completely wireless.
Anyway, today’s purchase was completely uncalled for. 🙂 In a military course right now and have the Porter Cable stuff in storage, so the drill and impact will see little to no use for a couple of months. I “needed” the flashlight, though (disregard the PC 18v area and work lights in the truck), and the batteries will work great for the speaker and USB power source recently picked up (never mind the 9-12v batteries I brought with me. 🙂
