Quick verdict

The DLX2131TJ is a straightforward route into LXT for drilling and screwdriving. Separate tools let you keep a drill bit and driver bit ready without repeatedly changing accessories.

Key specifications

  • 18V LXT battery platform

  • DHP482 combi drill

  • DTD152 impact driver, rated at 165 Nm

  • Two BL1850B 5.0 Ah batteries

  • DC18RC charger and Makpac Type 3 case

What we like

  • Two batteries allow both tools to be kept ready.

  • The combi drill covers drilling, screwdriving and light masonry work.

  • The case keeps the main kit together for transport.

What to consider

  • This pair does not include a saw or dedicated SDS rotary hammer.

  • Compare the kit against buying only the tools you need if you already own LXT batteries.

Who should buy it?

DIY users and installers building an LXT kit around routine drilling and fastening jobs.

Final verdict

A useful two-tool foundation with batteries, charging and storage included. Its value depends on needing both tools and the supplied battery capacity.
