Head-to-head comparison

  • Each of these impact drills has features that stand out, but how do they stack up when compared with one another? Based on overall features, value and performance, we give the edge to the DeWalt, however, the right choice depends on the features you’re looking for.

  • If you are into DIY and want power with versatility, we recommend the DeWalt DCK240C2. This kit has the features you need to work on any drilling project. It is lightweight, and the compact size means you can use it tight spaces where large impact drills cannot fit.
  • The Bosch CLPK232A-181 impact drill is for those who are looking for power in a small tool. A good impact drill is light and easy to use, and this is a good example of that. With its 2,800 no load RPM and 3,200 BPM, there is more than enough power here for most applications.
