some questions

well I have some questions for you  other dewalt users.. 

I work at a local student housing complex and two weeks ago they were broken into..

all of my cordless tools and various hand tools were taken along with the propertys and coworkers..

I had the 18volt stuff  and my fav was  my impact I used it  more than the other cordless tools.. 

im trying to get the company to replace all my things  and I hope it happens..  

so im thinking about making the jump to  the 20volt brushless drill and impact..  

any input on this set  infact im looking at the   DCK281D2 drill and impact kit at lowes..

ill also get  the other cordless items in 20v  light  skillsaw and sawzal  in 20v..  

is it worth the jump  or should I just get all new 18v stuff.   I know I liked the battery life of my 18v stuff never had issues. and that impact  would  do anything I needed it to do…  

i have all the tools you mention, they are great gear. definately don’t go back to the 18V XRP stuff.

The only thing you might toss up is switching to Milwaukee or Bosch etc. But if you like Dewalt, what you have proposed is a good idea. Though you’ll probably want to grab a 4.0/5.0Ah battery at some point for the circular saw…

I have the 20v line and love it a lot especially my dcd995 😉

I’m very happy with all of my M18 and M12 fuel gear ….did I say that out loud?

You don’t know what your missing out on Lithium ion is the way to go unless you work every day in -20 Celsius or colder.

Love my 20v line up. It was the best decision I made .

You can get better deals on the new generation of tools and the other thing its they have so much better ergonomics, run time, and weight now. Plus Dewalt is going to make 18v xrp batteries but you would get a bunch of the newer tools that they have released like the oscillating multi tool

The oscilating 20v is way better than the corded version.

in what sense?

Sorry to hear about you getting your tools stolen, some people are such dirt bags..

I own Makita 18v and Milwaukee 12v and love both of them but nowadays you really can’t go wrong with tools from any of the big brands.

I would say jump to the 20v-max line if staying with Dewalt

yeah an im still fighting with my company  about getting them replaced..

they are being difficult about the whole thing     they sure did replace their items  quickly though…
