Direct answer: is the DEWALT 20V MAX Cordless 1/2 in. Drill Driver Kit right for you?
The two 1.3 Ah batteries in this kit are the compromise that makes the price -- they are compact and they run down fast, and most buyers end up adding a 4 Ah pack within a year.
DEWALT 20V MAX Cordless 1/2 in. Drill Driver Kit
Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: The two 1.3 Ah batteries in this kit are the compromise that makes the price -- they are compact and they run down fast, and most buyers end up adding a 4 Ah pack within a year. It is a brushed motor at 300 unit watts out, which is fine for drilling and driving in wood and plasterboard and short of what masonry or repeated lag screws ask for. The real purchase is the 20V MAX platform: the batteries fit over two hundred other tools, and that outlives this drill by a decade.
Who should buy this
Homeowners and light trades starting on the 20V MAX platform.
Who should avoid this
Anyone drilling masonry or driving lag screws daily, who needs a brushless hammer drill.

Read the fit note, and it was me
The page describes who this is for, and it described me: Homeowners and light trades starting on the 20V MAX platform. On that basis it has been the right call. Two batteries and a charger included at the price of a bare tool elsewhere.

Happy with it, but go in informed
Two batteries and a charger included at the price of a bare tool elsewhere. The one thing to know before ordering: 1.3 Ah batteries run down quickly under load. To be fair that is written on the product page. I skimmed past it and had to rearrange things afterwards.

After a few months
Had this six weeks now, so this is not an unboxing opinion. Two speed ranges, 0-450 and 1,500 rpm. Still mildly irritated by one thing: 1.3 Ah batteries run down quickly under load. Known trade-off rather than a fault, though, and I would buy it again.

Not the product’s fault, but be warned
Genuinely my own fault. Posting so somebody else does not repeat it. The listing says who should avoid this: Anyone drilling masonry or driving lag screws daily, who needs a brushless hammer drill. That was my situation and I ordered anyway. It does what it says on the page — it just was not the thing I needed.
