Why We Love This Deal
Greenworks' 24-volt tool series was already a winner, but where it excelled in performance, it lacked in cohesion. The line recently got several updates in the form of special bundles on Amazon, allowing buyers to get both power tools and batteries in the same package. It's a money-saver to begin with, but the essential drill and driver combo kit just got its first-ever discount ahead of this year's gift shopping season.
The Greenworks 24V Brushless Drill and Driver Kit with USB-C-chargeable batteries is now $140, down $60 from the usual $200. This kit finally brings electric power tools into the MacBook and smartphone era, and this first-of-its-kind deal means now is the best time to get it.

What Shoppers Should Know

This kit includes a drill driver and impact driver with 400 inch-pounds of torque/2,000 max RPM and 1,950 inch-pounds torque/3,400 RPM, respectively. Each tool is lightweight (the whole kit weighs around 5 pounds), has convenient LED lighting, and uses a brushless motor for minimal wear and better battery life.
If all of this sounds standard, that’s ultimately a good thing. You’re going to feel right at home with this drill. Where it gets good is the way the batteries charge. The kit comes with two 2.0Ah batteries and a fast charger with three USB ports. And you just plug the batteries directly into it, the way you do your phone or any other electronic device you own. In fact, you can charge your phone or laptop with the same charger you use for your drill and driver batteries. What’s more, the batteries themselves are bi-directional, meaning you can charge your phone from your Greenworks battery.

Having USB-rechargeable power tools isn’t exactly new; you see it from time to time on low-end or very small tools, not on large 24V batteries that power whole lines of tools. Those have always needed a specialized charger. Greenworks is leading the way here, and we hope to see the likes of Bosch and DeWalt, among other makers of the best power tools, follow suit in the coming year.
The Greenworks 24V Brushless Drill and Driver Kit is now on sale for the first time at $140, and just in time for the holidays. If you want the most innovative power tool powering system out there, this is it.
