The DEWALT DCK240C2 20V MAX drill and impact driver combo kit is listed at $149.00 on Amazon.com, checked on November 7, 2026, and it is one of the power tool kits shoppers are buying most there. Amazon’s page shows 10K+ bought in past month, 4.7 out of 5 stars from 61,353 ratings, and a #1 rank in Power Tool Combo Kits.
DEWALT makes the kit as a two tool starter set: a drill driver, an impact driver, two batteries, a charger and a contractor bag. Amazon.com shows it as shipped from and sold by Amazon.com. DEWALT’s own product page shows no price, so every price below comes from Amazon.
Why is the DEWALT DCK240C2 trending now?
Amazon’s own signals point to steady demand: the 10K+ bought in past month note, the #1 rank in Power Tool Combo Kits and a #148 rank across all of Tools & Home Improvement. The $149.00 price sits below the List Price of $239.00 that Amazon shows, though that list figure is Amazon’s, not DEWALT’s. Holiday gift shopping and the start of winter project season also push buyers toward low cost starter kits.
What is in the DEWALT DCK240C2 kit?
- DCD771 20V MAX 1/2-in drill driver, two speeds (0 to 450 and 0 to 1,500 RPM), 3.6 lbs
- DCF885 20V MAX 1/4-in impact driver, 2.8 lbs, 5.55 in front to back
- Two DCB201 20V MAX Li-ion batteries, 1.3Ah each
- DCB106 compact charger
- Contractor bag
According to DEWALT, the drill has a high performance motor rated at 300 UWO, a 1/2-in single sleeve ratcheting chuck and an LED light. The impact driver has a 1/4-in hex chuck for one handed loading that accepts 1-in bit tips, plus a 3-LED ring that stays lit for 20 seconds after you release the trigger. Amazon’s listing says the impact driver delivers up to 1,400 in-lbs of torque. DEWALT backs the kit with a 3-year limited warranty, 1 year of free service and a 90-day satisfaction guarantee. It also notes that 20V is the maximum initial battery voltage and that nominal voltage is 18V.
How does it compare with the DCK277D2?
The obvious alternative is DEWALT’s DCK277D2 drill and impact driver kit, which Amazon.com lists at $159.95 against a List Price of $249.00 and ranks #2 in Power Tool Combo Kits. Retailer listings describe it as a brushless compact kit. The DCK240C2 is the cheaper entry point of the two.
ToolNerds rated the DCK240C2 4.5/5, praising the compact, lightweight build and the LED lights on both tools. It also flagged a somewhat loose chuck on the DCD771 and said the kit is not for heavy duty use. If you expect long days of driving screws, read DEWALT’s page for the DCK277D2 before you decide.

Who it suits
Homeowners and renters. The kit covers drilling holes and driving screws around the house, and the compact bodies fit tight spaces. ToolNerds says it is best suited to DIY beginners.
First time tool buyers. Getting a drill driver and an impact driver in one box, with a charger and a bag, avoids buying pieces one by one. Both tools run on the 20V MAX battery system, so more tools can be added later.
Light duty tradespeople. ToolNerds describes the kit as suited to light duty contractors. The two 1.3Ah batteries are small, and the review says users were not happy with that capacity. A 5Ah pack such as the DCB205 is listed by Amazon as compatible with 20V MAX tools and chargers.
Who should wait. If you want a brushless motor or plan heavy daily use, look at the DCK277D2 or hold off for more holiday sales. Neither source says how long the current Amazon price will last.
What is still unknown
DEWALT shows no price on its product page, so the $239.00 and $249.00 List Price figures are Amazon’s, not the maker’s. Amazon’s 10K+ note is a rounded buyer count, not a sales total. The ToolNerds review carries no publication date, and neither source says how long the $149.00 price will stay.
Before you buy, open the Amazon listing, confirm the model reads DCK240C2 with two 1.3Ah batteries, and compare it with the DCK277D2 for your own workload.
