Best Drill/Driver Combo for DIY Projects

Asked by CraftyNinja92
I recently moved into a new house and I'm excited to tackle some DIY projects like installing shelves, towel racks, and drying racks. The walls are all cement and concrete, so I need a reliable drill/driver that can handle that. I also have a bunch of leftover wood from my remodel that I want to use. I'm curious which drill or driver would be the best choice for these tasks. Price isn't a huge concern, but I don't want to buy something I won't use. Any recommendations? Thanks a lot!

I recommend getting a drill and impact combo set! This one is great for your needs since you'll have a regular drill for most tasks and the impact driver is awesome for tougher jobs, especially with concrete. Plus, it's currently on sale!

DrillMaster43: And it's a steal right now—definitely check it out!

CraftyNinja92: Thanks! Can you suggest specific models for both the impact and the drill? I might not find those exact ones where I live.

If you've got a budget that allows it, definitely consider getting a combo hammer and impact drill set. I started with just a drill years ago, and now I have a whole workshop filled with about 20k worth of tools! You won't regret investing in good equipment.

For a little more, I found this kit that has awesome features—the DEWALT 20V MAX XR cordless combo. It’s not the very top tier but strikes a great balance of power and size, plus you get both the DCD800 and DCF850 tools included!
