If you prefer the traditional wooden handle, DeWalt unveiled new additions that are less expensive than its all-metal framing beast. Each of the new 20V Max tools are brimming with new features and better performance than previous generations, but the compact impact driver stood out as our clear favorite. DeWalt’s engineers managed to shave off 1/4 inch from the length of the tool compared to the 18V model, even while implementing a new one-handed 1/4-inch hex bit chuck. Like the one first introduced on DeWalt’s 12V Max impact driver, the chuck accepts 2-inch power screwdriver bits or 1-inch insert bits.

In terms of tool boxes/bags I do electrical work so I have the electrician open top 12×12 bag. Fully loaded it’s almost uncomfortable to carry. I have one strictly for my 1” to 2” wrenches. The sockets all fit in two Dewalt medium Toughsystem boxes.
You can save money on “sets” but they often give you a lot of poor quality tools in a set so skip these.
