Good deal but I can't imagine most people wouldn't already have the impact driver since it's almost always bundled with the drill.

Home Depot has it for $199.99 right now so this is a better deal for sure!

Is this a good deal for someone who wants to upgrade into a more professional (than Ryobi) ecosystem? I'm tempted by the Makita 4 batteries + saw for $250, but Milwaukee is the one I keep hearing recommended. How good is this deal?

Does the 2AH last? The Makita one have 5AH for all batteries across the board.

You are paying for an over priced brand that hasn't innovated for a while, their newer platform should be your focus; the lxt is going to be phased out

Dammit...I wish I waited instead of getting the drill/impact driver combo 😔

The M12 line is very nice, but it prioritizes weight and size over power. What's your use case? I have done M12 (which is what I use the most tbh), some Ryobi (cause they're cheap and have odd ball thing and are basically disposable) and some Ridgid (for when I need ridiculous amounts of power and don't care about weight).

The M12 is my most used, but I'd get a M12 fuel surge over just the M12 fuel.

Thanks! It's for a relative who isn't very happy with the power in a few-years-old Ryobi tools. It'd be mostly for DIY and fixing around the house - though he's hoping to get into woodworking eventually.

Do you mean the 20v line? I heard about that, but it seems like Makita *claims* they'll be maintaining the 18v line as well.

Makita is mediocre in terms of power and variety. But they are reliable. It's like Toyota vs dodge(dewalt/Milwaukee). They have brushless tools just like any other. They have no idea what they are taking about they are phasing 18v out. 36v is too expensive and 18v can meet most need anyway

Anecdotally I've had 2 (lxt i think) Makita drills fail, on one the switch is failing and the other chuck locked. The triggers also don't have the range/sensitivity of their m18 counterparts. Warranty is shorter than Milwaukee, which also can break but at least I can (and did) get them fixed free for years,
Personally, I'd buy yellow, orange, or red before I buy another green.

Can't compare 2AH @ 12 volts vs 5AH @ 18 volts directly. For apples to apples always multiply amp-hours by the line's voltage to give you watt-hours to compare which is a direct comparison. So for this comparison it's 24 WH vs 90 WH, so the Makita in this case would have around 4x the power or endurance.

That said, I have the non-fuel brushed versions of these M12 tools with 1.5AH batteries and I recently got the Makita XT288T kit with their new flagship drill and driver. I still grab the M12s first for most things. They're lighter, less bulky for tight spaces, and still have enough power for say driving a 3 1/2" deck screw or using a 1 1/2" paddle bit in the drill's case. For any delicate work where you need lots of control, the M12 wins hands down. Next time I need to turn a 4" hole saw or I'm driving lots of screws, yeah, I'll grab my Makita. But for rehanging a door this week, the M12 was perfect.

As for the hackzall in this kit, I would rate it only for small things. This fuel version may be better, but my brushed one is incredibly slow due to the short stroke length and chews through batteries. I find mine about silly enough to say look for a different M12 kit without a recip style saw. But if you think you'd use one for cutting nails, screws, or copper pipe in cramped spaces, this is probably as good as it gets.

I just got an m12 impact driver and an m18 delivered a few days ago (HD hack)... I gotta say the m12 is rather uncomfortable to hold and feels very top heavy/unstable during use. I much prefer the m18 style and weight distribution. If you can go into a store and test before buying, I highly recommend you do so, especially when purchasing from somewhere like eBay where you can't just return an item easily.
