Best cordless tools I've ever owned

Review Summary

I've had this kit for a couple of years now, and I can't imagine any way to improve on it—unless they lowered the price. But even for this price, it's a great set because the tools have all the power I need, the batteries last a long time, they charge fast, and neither tool has ever let me down. I built a 20x25 deck over a weekend and never changed batteries.

…

I'm amazed at how sweet the impact driver works at driving the lag bolts and long screws without twisting my wrist off like drills usually do. And the drill has the hammer function, which I used to drill into concrete to set the anchors. Very nice set. I plan to add the circ saw and recip saw soon.
