DeWalt DCK240C2 20V MAX Lithium Ion Drill Driver / Impact Driver Combo Kit (1.3 Ah)

Received this combo for Christmas, used the drill to,well drill some holes in some thin gauge metal. After 5-6holes, the drill was so HOT, I couldn't touch it. Side note, when you release the trigger on the drill, the motor sounds as if you jammed a stick into it to stop it.

I’ve been using this cordless drill kit for over a year. I wouldn’t sell it for more than I gave for it! Handy tool to have around. Hundreds of uses.

I received this kit as a gift February 2021. At first I thought it was exactly what I needed. I use hand drills when doing work around the home, garden, garage, and helping friends. It seemed to be the ideal tool. I normally have 3-4 battery operated drills around the house and 1 corded drill. I finally had a reason to use the impact driver first in early June 2021. I charged the batteries from this kit as per the instructions and used the impact driver on one of our cars. It worked perfectly for the job than any other drill I previously used. I used it roughly 10 minutes. I also used the drill for a small project as a drill/screwdriver for about 15 minutes. Both the drill and driver are exactly what I need for my home projects. But both batteries ran out of power the very next time I used them, and they would not charge. I attempted to charge them both in the charger that came with the kit. Both would start charging with the red light flashing and an amber light next to the red light constantly on. One of the batteries would continue the same for over 10 hours. I could not find anywhere in the instructions what the charge time should be, so I disconnected that battery to use on the drill. The drill ran for 30 seconds and died. I placed the second battery in the charger where the red light would flash with the amber light lit for about 10 seconds, then the red light would turn solid, and the amber light would be off. When I tried to use that battery in the drill, it lasted about the same amount of time. I repeated my charging of the batteries and trying to use them for 2 more days without any better results.
I read in this part of the DeWalt web site that someone had the same problem about 3 years ago. I am writing this prior to attempting to charge each battery for a minimum of 24 hours as this person did. I wanted to make sure I did not forget any of the information I mentioned above. I will continue this after I try to charge for 24 hours each. Of course, anyone reading this will not see the time lapse of a minimum of 48 hours giving the results.

Although I am disappointed with the operation of the batteries, for the short time I used the impact wrench, I loved it. Right now I will put a cautious "Yes" for a recommendation. Both the drill and impact wrench worked perfectly and easily for the short period the batteries held their charges. I especially liked the Quick Release Chuck on the impact wrench and the weight of each tool.

I bought these drills in panama city to help rebuild after the hurricane of 2018. These batteries, charger, and drill/impact are still some of my best tools i have ever owned! I would like to thank DeWALT for making a strong, long lasting, and very durable combo kit for us remodelers out there! Keep up the top notch work out there!!!

I got this combo kit few days about a week ago and I am so happy that I made the choice of buying Dewalt tools. I know this is going to be a first of many ! Thanks

The impact driver is a game changer I love it I have been changing everything I have to dewalt I am a believer of there products. THANK YOU

Very good entry level drill combo, but the 1.3ah batteries are a bit weak. I would like to see no less than a 2.0ah preferably a 3.0ah battery as the minimum, but just my opinion.

I bought this combo set over a year ago. They have been my go to tools for work, and home repairs. They really do speed up my work using power tools! I love them!

I purchased these a couple years ago. The impact driver is a phenomenal tool! I have used it for everything from building a deck to building a doll house. I have used it regularly for the past 2 years and have never had an issue. The reason for the 4 stars is that the Drill did not hold up as well. It makes weird whirling sounds and doesn’t hold bits during usage. It works at times which is why the rating isn’t lower. However, if it wasn’t for the impact my rating would be significantly lower.

I bought this kit a few months ago to do small jobs around the house. Love that I can expand my power tool selection as I need. Quality product.
