Which one should you buy?

For most homes, the Stanley FATMAX V20 18V Hammer Drill Kit is the best buy, more torque than the budget pick, hammer action for the occasional masonry job, and a bonus flashlight, all for around $94. The Bosch EasyDrill 18V-40 is the simplest, cheapest complete starter kit for a first-time DIYer, while the brushless Bosch UniversalImpact 18V-60 is the premium upgrade with the most torque and a bigger battery for serious or frequent jobs. Every pick here is a complete kit with battery and charger in the box, not a bare skin.
