Customer Reviews

Excellent
I bought this drill almost a year ago. I use it professionally (I'm a helicopter mechanic) and at home. This is a very powerfull and LIGHT drill. I replaced a dewalt 18v when I bought this one. There is no way I will go back to any other drill. I use it everyday, I even used it to put up a 12' X 21' metal building. Putting up the building did put a bit of a taxing on the drill, but that is a job that is meant for a screw gun not a cordless drill. It worked excellet though. The impact has worked very well for me as well, however I haven't put it through the rigorous beatings that I have put the drill through but I'm sure it would handle it's self in the same manor. My favorite part is how quick the batteries charge you never have to worry about running out of juice.

Good Value
My 9V Makita finally went belly up so I saw this combo kit. At the time it had a rebate for a free third battery. The power of the 18 V over the old 9V is very clear to see but the battery charges in far less time so with the two that come it you should always have power close at hand. I like the hand chuck and there are more setting than I had used in the past. The light I have not used but the driver and the impact driver are both welcome new member to my tool box.

A co-worker recommended this kit though he has the two piece which means no light. I would go with either one.

I wish I'd had one 10 years ago
I don't know how many years impact drivers have been available, but I used my first last year on a Rebuilding Together project where the lead contractor had one. When I think of all the buggered screw heads I have created with my big, high torque drill, I almost weep. The impact driver does the job without fuss, never messes up even stainless steel screw heads (ss is softer than "regular" screws), is light weight, and in general is a joy to use. The 1/2" drill and flashlight were just a bonus for $40. Get one, you won't regret it.
