WORKPRO 20V Drill Combo Kit
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Milwaukee 2656-20 is an 18V cordless hex impact driver featuring a brushless motor and REDLINK Intelligence for optimized performance. It delivers 1,500 in-lbs of torque with a maximum speed of 2,750 RPM, designed for fastening applications in tight spaces. It is best suited for professional contractors and tradespeople requiring a compact, powerful fastening tool for light to medium-duty tasks.
The WORKPRO 20V Cordless Drill Combo Kit is an entry-level power tool set featuring a 220 in-lb drill driver and a 1150 in-lb impact driver, designed for DIY homeowners and light hobbyists. It offers strong value by including two 2.0Ah batteries, a fast charger, and a comprehensive set of screwdriver and drill bits in a lightweight package. While it offers value, it lacks the durability and performance of premium brands, recommending it only for those prioritizing cost or specific aesthetics over professional-grade reliability.
