First deal post! Tell me what you all think.
Price is $199 for the kit. Don't forget that Home Depot accepts Paypal so that's 5% with a category cashback card. Note: These are not the fuel versions but still looks like a decent deal especially since the batteries are included.
1) M12 Cordless 3/8 in. ratchet. #2457-20. 35 ft lbs torque. M12 battery included
2) M18 1/2 in. impact wrench. #2663-20. 450 ft lbs torque. M18 XC 3.0 Ah battery included.
3) Charger and bag included

I got a rigid kit last year, primarily for the impact, but thinking of selling and getting this instead...

These impact are quite big and weak compare to fuel versions. If you don't care about battery platform there are plenty of good impact that are better than this. If you care more about the ratchet then this ain't a bad deal.
The Dewalt 1/2 mid torque with 3ah battery and charger for $199, Ridgid 1/2 mid range brushless battery and charger $150, etc.
These are comparable in power or maybe even better but are a lot smaller and newer.
I totally agree!!!
I hear the m12 ratchet is the way to go (versus the m12 fuel ratchet). I haven't measured in store, but seems as though the specs are about a 1/4" thinner in the head so you're able to navigate tighter spaces a little easier. If I didn't have a high torque 1/2" drive/ didn't mind reselling the one in this kit, I would consider this a solid buy
I've used the Husky when replacing my garage spring, it was overhead where I really felt using a lighter tool helped me much as my muscles were not as cramped as they could have been otherwise. It might be a 5 minute job but I didn't know what I was doing plus the color was out so I installed the wrong spring first then having to replace it, so it was double the work so to speak. So using a tool repeatedly in an overhead situation is where a lighter tool excelled.
More torque isn't always better, better designed tool is always better.
