JUST RECENTLY,I WAS STROLLING THROUGH A HOMEDEPOT 10 MINS FROM HOME,WITH MY LION’S SHARE OF STORE CREDIT BURNING MY POCKET,WHEN LO AND BEHOLD,I SAW THIS COMBO PRICED DOWN FROM $299.00 TO AN AMAZING $199.00!!!!!NOW,WHILE THE HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF TOOLS THAT I OWN ARE DEWALT,THIS WAS A DEAL THAT COULD NOT BE IGNORED!!

THE NEXT DAY AFTER SAID PURCHASE WAS MADE,I DECIDED TO KEEP MY 925 DEWALT HMR DRILL/DRVR,BUT I SOLD MY DEWALT 825 IMP DRVR,EVEN THOUGH THIS FINE TOOL PUT OUT 1330 IN LBS OF TORQUE…I HAD THE PLEASURE OF FIRING UP BTH TOOLS ON A PROJECT I WAS WRKG ON AND WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED IN THE LEAST BIT!

JUST REMEMBER,I ENTERED A DIFFERENT HOMEDEPOT AND DID NOT SEE THAT SAME DEAL BEING OFFERED,SO DON’T STOP LOOKING

i found these tools to be sufficient for the purpose, but don’t have near the abilities of the makita line of 18 volt tools. i am a little disappointed in the power; especially the impact.

Bought this as a b/day present for DH. It was less expensive than at Cosco. Appears to work well.

I purchased this item for $254.00 from Amazon.com LLC, and one week later Amazon.com LLC had it listed for $222.00. They refused to give a credit. They did say that I could return the item, and then turn around a re-buy it for the new price. It seemed very inefficient for me to send them back the drill, and for them to resend me the same drill. It would keep everyone’s costs down, if Amazon simply issued a credit in these scenarios.
