If you are a "do it yourself" kind of guy and is searching for the perfect tools for all your DIY projects, you should have a combo kit that has compact, easy to use but still powerful tools. The Dewalt DCX420B2 consists of two highly efficient Dewalt power tools, namely the DCD925 Hammer Drill and the DC827 Impact Driver. Continue reading this Dewalt DCX420B2 review to learn the features of this tool kit.
Hammer Drill and Driver Combination
Makita 1 2 Drill
The DCD925 hammer drill that comes with the Dewalt DCX420B2 is perfect for simple drilling and screw driving projects in your home. The motor of this tool is frameless making it light, compact and highly efficient to use. But despite its size, this tool can still handle heavy duty application with its maximum torque of 55 Newton meters. It offers three speed variations so you can choose between 0-500, 0-1250 or 0-2000 revolutions per minute, depending on the type of your work you are doing. This tool can drill as deep as 50 millimeters in wood, 16 millimeters in masonry and 13 millimeters in metal.
Other features of this hammer drill includes its twenty-two modifiable torque control so that you can get uniform outcome on your projects, especially those in need of delicate handling. The Dewalt DCX42B2 tool also has a keyless chuck that tightens itself and a self-activating spindle lock to ensure great control. For even additional control, it also has a highly responsive trigger that can be used as you set and remove fasteners. It also is designed to fit the user's hands comfortably for better grip and handling and even has a white LED lighting system built in to the hammer drill illuminates dark work areas.
Remarkable Impact Driver
Impact drivers are great tools to have when doing DY projects, especially if you have the DC827 that the Dewalt DCX420B2 comes with. This tool has a frameless high speed motor, a gearing made entirely of metal and an aluminum housing for optimum transmission of power and improved heat dispersion. It delivers torques of up to 150 Newton meters so you can be sure that this impact driver can handle heavy duty work.
The tool comes equipped with electric motor breaks and you can choose from its varying speed settings so you can match the speed with the work to be done. For fast and easy changing of driver bits, a keyless hex drive measuring 6.35 millimeters is integrated to the tool. With a length of 146 millimeters, height of 231 millimeters, and light weight of only 1.7 kilograms, this compact tool can be used in small and restricted areas. Its grip is coated with rubber for an excellent grip and decrease surface vibration that can cause fatigue on the users. Like the DCX42B2 hammer drill, the impact driver also comes with LED lights.
Doing home improvement projects yourself saves a lot of money, but can be very tiring also. But if you have top notch tools like the ones included in the Dewalt DCX420B2 twin pack tool kit, DIY projects are made fun and easy.

Unique, Flexible Power System
Like all tools in Bosch's 18-Volt line, this drill/driver can be used with either a 1.3-Ah BAT609 Slim Pack battery (two included) or a 2.6-Ah BAT318 Fat Pack. If you're looking for a lighter-weight option, the Slim Pack is the perfect choice. If longer runtime is what you need, the Fat Pack will do the job. Bosch is the only power tool manufacturer that provides this option.
Fast Speeds, High Torque, and Durable Construction for Reliable Results
The 36618-02 works at speeds up to 1,600 RPM and provides 500 in./lbs. of torque. Durashield housing, unibody construction, and a steel-reinforced collar help you withstand real-world conditions, like temperature extremes, rain, dirt, debris, and drops.
The 36618-02's Durashield Housing is constructed with ABS/Nylon composite, which makes the housing flexible and impenetrable. Unlike competitive tools, which use a conventional plastic housing, Durashield will not crack and can easily withstand 10-foot drops.
This tool also features unique unibody construction with three steel straps that keep the motor, gears, and clutch together. This ensures that the gears never separate from the motor, and it keeps the drill functioning even after drops.
Additionally, the 36618-02 boasts an exclusive steel-reinforced collar that protects the nose of the drill. It provides extra reinforcement in the event of drops on the chuck and prevents the chuck from bending or breaking off.
Easy Bit Changes and Balanced Design for Utmost Control
The 36618-02 comes complete with a single-sleeve 1/2-inch chuck for one-handed bit changes, as well as increased drill-bit capacity for versatility. And for maximum control, comfort, and balance, the tool boasts a newly designed handle-grip with finger support.
Smart Features for Easy Use
20 clutch settings and a variable-speed trigger help you match the best speed to the job, so you can achieve precise results. At the same time, the 36618-02's ergonomic design provides optimum comfort and control. And for even greater convenience, LEDs provide illumination when you are working in dark or enclosed areas.
ProVantage Guarantee
The 36618-02 comes with the ProVantage three-year protection plan, which guarantees two years of battery protection and one year of tool protection. Under this plan, you can receive two years of free battery replacements, tool replacement for one year, and a free tool repair package for the second and third years.
