Best Drill and Impact Driver Deals Right Now: 12 Kits Worth a Look

Introduction

Drill and impact driver deals are unusually good right now. Practically every major brand has a combo kit available for under 200 dollars, whether you are upgrading an old set, building a spare kit, or getting your first proper tools. This roundup walks through twelve standout kits, what each one gets you, and which three make the most sense depending on your priorities.

DeWalt Atomic 850 Kit

Arguably the strongest deal on the board. For 329 dollars you get a hammer drill, the ultra compact Atomic 850 impact driver, and two 4 amp hour batteries, effectively a free battery on top. The 850 impact sells for around 100 to 150 dollars on its own, so the kit math already works.

There is also a well-known battery return trick: return the included free battery and the kit effectively lands at about 217 dollars for the hammer drill, the 850 impact, and two 4 amp hour batteries. If you were going to buy DeWalt batteries anyway, that is very hard to beat.

Makita XGT 36V Drill and Impact Kit

The only high-voltage option here, and the one to pick if you want to step above the usual 18V and 24V class. At 450 dollars the sticker looks steep, but the included free battery carries roughly 220 dollars of return value, bringing the effective kit cost to around 222 dollars.

That makes it a genuinely good entry point into the Makita XGT platform, and it is the kind of deal that does not come around often for 36V-class tools.

Makita LXT Sub-Compact Kit

Makita’s Sub-Compact line gets a 200 dollar drill and impact kit, though it ships with the smaller 1.5 amp hour batteries, which are not the batteries most people should pair with these tools. If you prefer, the drill and impact are also available separately at 99 dollars each, and buying separately nets you an extra charger.

Worth considering if you are committed to the LXT platform, but the battery situation makes it a cautious recommendation compared with the XGT deal above.

Ryobi Impact Wrench and Drill Kit

This one bends the category a little: it is an impact wrench deal, not an impact driver deal, but the value is real. For 149 dollars you get a 4 amp hour battery, a charger, the impact wrench, and a free drill on top of it.

Everything included still lands well under 200 dollars, which makes this one of the more generous bundles in the current round of deals.

Milwaukee M18 Mid-Range Drill Kit

Milwaukee deals are a bit harder to pin down right now, but this M18 mid-range brushed drill kit is a clean entry into the platform. At 132 dollars you get a 2 amp hour battery plus a 50-piece bit set that is worth roughly 20 to 30 dollars on its own.

You also get Milwaukee’s five-year tool warranty, though the battery carries a shorter two-year warranty. Note that this deal appears to be online only, with ship-to-store or delivery options.

Milwaukee M18 Brushless Impact Driver

At the same mid-range tier, the M18 brushless impact driver kit runs 99 dollars with a 2 amp hour battery. It is one of many standalone 99 dollar drill or impact deals around at the moment, and a solid way to add a brushless impact to an existing M18 collection.

Harbor Freight Drill and Impact Kit

Harbor Freight has been improving quickly, and the current kits are drawing genuinely positive attention. The impact and drill driver kits each come with a battery, with the drill at 97.99 dollars, undercutting comparable kits by a couple of dollars.

The bigger story is the five-year warranty on the tool with a three-year battery warranty, and the process is refreshingly simple: bring it back to the store and get a replacement on the spot, for the full five years. No lengthy repair waits.

Flex 24V Kit

If you want the best combination of specs, warranty, and included batteries, this is probably the kit to beat. Each 99 dollar drill and impact kit comes with two batteries, and Flex backs the tool, batteries, and charger with a lifetime warranty.

That coverage across the entire kit, not just the tool, is almost unheard of at this price. Flex tools are not the smoothest in hand, but they are rock solid where it counts.

Metabo HPT Triple Hammer Impact Kit

Metabo HPT also has 99 dollar drill and impact kits, built on their mid-range tools. The Triple Hammer impact is brushless and carries an IP56 rating, which makes it an excellent pick if you will be using an impact outdoors or in dusty conditions a lot.

The lifetime warranty here is tool only, not batteries or charger, so be aware of that distinction before buying.

Metabo HPT Hammer Drill Kit

The matching hammer drill kit is another 99 dollar two-battery deal with a tool-only lifetime warranty. Note that only the impacts carry the IP56 rating in this line, not the drills.

One caveat: these kits ship with small 1.5 amp hour batteries that do not quite let the tools deliver their full power. Metabo HPT does much better with larger batteries, so plan to add one eventually.

Kobalt Brushless Drill and Impact Kit

Kobalt has been putting out some of the best tool deals around lately, and this 150 dollar brushless drill and impact kit is a good example. The one oddity: it includes only a single battery, so you cannot run the drill and impact at the same time without buying a second battery.

Still, you get mid-range brushless tools and a five-year warranty at a very sharp price, which makes it a rock solid choice.

Craftsman Brushless Drill and Impact Kit

If you want something on the cheaper end in the Ryobi style, Craftsman has a brushless drill and impact kit for around 100 dollars that includes two batteries. These are not the highest quality tools in the roundup, but as a starter kit to get you going, they make sense.

Buying Advice

Three picks rise above the rest. For the best overall price-to-value, the DeWalt Atomic 850 kit stands out: bigger batteries, a better impact driver, and a solid hammer drill in one package. If you want to go higher-end and higher-voltage, the Makita XGT deal at an effective 222 dollars is the way in. And if warranty, specs, and sheer number of batteries matter most, the Flex 24V kit with its two batteries and full lifetime coverage is almost impossible to beat.

Conclusion

There has rarely been a better moment to pick up a drill and impact combo. Match the kit to what you value most: price and batteries, platform entry, or long-term warranty coverage, and any of these twelve deals will serve you well.
