DEWALT DCD771C2 Review: 20V MAX Cordless Drill/Driver Kit with 100-Piece Bit Set

Full review of the DEWALT 20V MAX Cordless Drill/Driver Kit with Screwdriver/Drill Bit Set, 100-Piece (DCD771C2 & DWA2FTS100)—kit contents, use cases, and alternatives.

This review covers the DEWALT 20V MAX Cordless Drill/Driver Kit with Screwdriver/Drill Bit Set, 100-Piece (DCD771C2 & DWA2FTS100). It pairs a popular 20V MAX cordless drill/driver kit with a large ToughCase-style bit assortment so homeowners and light-duty users can drill and drive without buying bits separately on day one.

Below: what the kit is for, how the drill performs for everyday projects, what the 100-piece set adds, and how the package compares with cordless drill kits from Ryobi, Makita, and Bosch—not other DEWALT models.

Overview

The DCD771C2 side of the bundle is a 20V MAX cordless drill/driver kit configuration (drill, batteries, charger, and bag as offered in that kit). The DWA2FTS100 side is a 100-piece screwdriver and drill bit set aimed at mixed fastening and drilling jobs around the house. Together they target first-time cordless buyers and anyone who wants a ready-to-work DEWALT starter package with accessories included.

If you later expand into brushless XR tools or combo kits—such as a drill and impact driver set—the same 20V MAX batteries can often carry forward, which is one reason DEWALT kits remain popular entry points.

Key Features

  • DEWALT 20V MAX cordless drill/driver kit (DCD771C2 configuration)
  • Paired 100-piece screwdriver/drill bit set (DWA2FTS100)
  • 1/2-inch chuck for common bits
  • Cordless convenience without a corded outlet hunt
  • Batteries and charger included with the DCD771C2 kit side (as sold)
  • Organized bit storage for driving and drilling accessories
  • Soft bag for transport on many kit listings

Performance / How It Performs

For hanging shelves, assembling furniture, drilling pilot holes, and general household repairs, a 20V MAX drill/driver kit like the DCD771C2 is in its comfort zone. Variable speed control helps start screws without cam-out, and a 1/2-inch chuck accepts the bits most homeowners already recognize.

The DWA2FTS100 set is the convenience play: instead of hunting for a Phillips bit or a small twist drill, you open the cases and pick what you need. Bit quality in multi-piece sets is always a mix—reserve premium bits for high-volume work—but for mixed DIY the assortment saves time. Heavy framing, large hole saws all day, or continuous concrete work may outgrow this class of kit; step up to brushless XR hammer drills or dedicated rotary tools when projects demand it.

Who Should Buy It

This DCD771C2 & DWA2FTS100 package suits homeowners, renters tackling upgrades, and DIY users who want a DEWALT drill kit and a full starter bit set without separate shopping trips. It is also a reasonable gift kit for someone starting a basic tool collection on 20V MAX.

Who Should Consider Another Option

Consider another option if you already own plenty of bits and only need a bare drill, if you prefer brushless XR hammer drilling out of the box, or if you need a drill plus impact driver together—look at combo kits instead. Users deep into Ryobi ONE+, Makita LXT, or Bosch 18V should usually stay on their existing chargers and packs.
