DeWalt Brushless Cordless 2-Tool Combo Kit Review

4.5 out of 5

Two impact wrenches in one bag sounds redundant until you put them to work. After a few weeks with this DeWalt combo, I’ve stopped reaching for a single “do-it-all” impact. The mid‑range 1/2 in. wrench handles stubborn hardware without drama, while the compact 3/8 in. fits where the big gun can’t. Together they cover most of what I do on vehicles, equipment, and general shop assembly, and they do it with the consistency I expect from DeWalt’s 20V line.

What’s in the kit and setup

The kit includes the 1/2 in. mid‑range impact wrench (detent pin anvil), the 3/8 in. compact impact wrench, one 5.0 Ah 20V battery (DCB205), a charger (DCB107), two belt clips, and a soft contractor bag. Both tools are brushless and have onboard LEDs.

A quick note on the anvil: the 1/2 in. uses a detent pin. It retains sockets very securely—useful when you’re working overhead or in the mud—but it’s slower to swap sockets than a hog ring. That’s a trade‑off I’m happy with in a mid‑range wrench where I value retention more than speed.

Performance: 1/2 in. mid‑range

DeWalt rates the mid‑range at up to 350 ft‑lbs of fastening torque. In practical terms, it has no trouble with passenger vehicle lug nuts, suspension fasteners, subframe bolts, and the kind of rusted hardware you find on older equipment—especially with a little penetrant and patience. I used it on a set of stubborn 1950s bumper bolts that were fused with corrosion; they came off with a couple of quick bursts. On truly seized fasteners, you’ll either want heat or a higher‑torque wrench, because this much power can snap marginal bolts if you simply hold the trigger down. The tool’s impact mechanism is responsive, and the hammering feels tight and controlled rather than clattery.

Precision Wrench control is the headliner feature here. It helps prevent over‑torqueing and “run‑on” in forward, and it backs out fasteners in reverse without launching them. I’ve used it to snug lug nuts before finishing with a torque wrench—quick, consistent, and no surprise over‑tightening. Combined with multiple speed settings and a linear trigger, the mid‑range offers better finesse than you might expect from a tool that can break rusted hardware loose.

Performance: 3/8 in. compact

The compact 3/8 in. wrench is the unsung hero of this kit. At roughly 5.5 inches in length and about 2 lbs bare, it slips into engine bays, wheel wells, HVAC housings, and under dashboards where a 1/2 in. simply won’t fit. It’s rated at 150 ft‑lbs—plenty for caliper bracket bolts, skid plates, accessory brackets, small to mid‑size fasteners on machinery, and many lug nuts if they’re not baked on. I wouldn’t rely on it for axle nuts or the most stubborn suspension bolts, but that’s what the 1/2 in. is for. The compact feels quick and lively; with a 2.0 Ah battery it becomes a featherweight go‑to for repetitive assembly work.

Both tools have bright LEDs that meaningfully help in dark corners. The lights stay on just long enough after releasing the trigger to check your work, though the beam can be partially blocked by deep sockets—typical for impacts.

Ergonomics and control

DeWalt’s handle geometry still works well for me: neutral wrist angle, tacky overmold, and enough palm swell to control counter‑torque. The mid‑range balances nicely even with the 5.0 Ah pack, though you’ll feel the weight overhead after a long day. The compact with a 5.0 Ah battery is almost comically back‑heavy; swap in a 2.0 Ah if you want true nimbleness. Belt hooks are included and robust; I used them constantly when climbing in and out from under vehicles.

Noise and vibration are well controlled for impact wrenches in this class. They’re loud, but not piercingly so, and the brushless motors are smooth. Vibration through the handle is moderate and hasn’t left my hands tingling after extended use.

Battery and charging

Runtime on the 5.0 Ah pack is solid. On a typical service day—tire rotations, brake work, light suspension—I can get through most tasks on a single charge if I’m splitting time between the two tools. The mid‑range draws more, but it’s not a battery hog for its power. The included DCB107 charger is the slowest link here; it will bring a 5.0 Ah pack up in roughly the “watch a game and grab dinner” timeframe rather than a quick top‑off between jobs. If you’re running these hard or on a site with multiple users, a faster charger (like DeWalt’s DCB115) or a second battery is worth budgeting for.

I did encounter a dud battery out of the box on one kit. It discharged unusually fast and wouldn’t hold a charge overnight. DeWalt replaced it promptly under warranty, and the replacement has been trouble‑free. That experience, plus the 3‑year limited warranty and 1‑year free service, gives me reasonable confidence in long‑term support.

Build quality and reliability

Fit and finish are what I expect from DeWalt’s XR‑class tools: tight tolerances, clean mold seams, and no rattles. The anvils show minimal wobble, the detent pin is positive, and the selector switches click cleanly into place. After a mix of shop and field use, the tools have scuffs and dust but no looseness in the heads or handles. The soft bag is decent for transport and job‑to‑job moves, but it offers no real impact protection or organization beyond a couple of pockets. If you want stackability or a hard shell, plan on adding a TSTAK/TOUGHSYSTEM case.

Where it shines, where it doesn’t

Strengths
- Coverage: The two sizes complement each other perfectly. I reach for the 3/8 in. far more than I expected.
- Control: Precision Wrench control, variable speed, and brushless smoothness make it easy to avoid over‑torqueing.
- Power-to-size: The 1/2 in. has legitimate mid‑range grunt without being a brick; the 3/8 in. punches above its weight.
- Platform: If you’re in the 20V ecosystem, one 5.0 Ah pack ties in with everything else.

Trade‑offs
- One battery: For a two‑tool kit, a second pack would make more sense. As is, you’ll juggle if you’re solo on a long job.
- Charger speed: The DCB107 gets it done but slowly. Heavy users should upgrade.
- Detent pin speed: Secure retention, slower socket swaps. If you change sockets constantly, you may prefer a hog ring anvil.
- Bag vs. case: The soft bag is fine for the truck, not for a packed gang box.

Who is this for?

  • Automotive DIYers and techs who want a compact 3/8 in. for tight quarters plus a 1/2 in. with enough power for most chassis work.
  • Equipment maintenance and farm users who value a durable mid‑range impact and a nimble compact for assembly and guard fasteners.
  • General contractors who occasionally need impact torque beyond an impact driver, but still appreciate finesse and manageable weight.

If your work routinely involves heavy truck lug nuts, axle nuts, or industrial fasteners beyond mid‑range territory, you’ll want a dedicated high‑torque 1/2 in. alongside this kit. Conversely, if you only do light assembly, the 3/8 in. alone might be sufficient.

Bottom line

This combo lands in a sweet spot: real mid‑range torque in the 1/2 in., genuine compact agility in the 3/8 in., and enough intelligence in the controls to make both precise when you need them to be. The brushless motors, balanced ergonomics, and bright LEDs make daily use easy, and the platform support and warranty add peace of mind. I’d prefer a faster charger and a second battery in the box, and I accept the detent pin’s slower socket swaps in exchange for the security it provides.

Recommendation: I recommend this kit. It’s a practical, well‑rounded pairing that replaces the “one size fits none” approach with two tools that each excel in their lane. If you’re already on DeWalt 20V, it’s an easy add. If you’re starting fresh, budget for an extra battery and, if you’re an all‑day user, a faster charger—then expect these two impacts to cover the vast majority of fastening and removal tasks with confidence.
