I disagree, regarding the Milwaukee bits. Specifically, these Milwaukee Shockwave impact bits. In my experience, they perform much better than similar impact bits from Dewalt. They generally have a tight fit, and good durability for the price. I've moved to purchasing this brand of driving bits exclusively.
Project Farm on Youtube did a comparison of driver bits last year, and his winner was Milwaukee Shockwave (beat out Dewalt, Bosch, Irwin, Makita, among others). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-xOHQTT5tw
Seems like a decent price for the bits, if you need all those sizes. Certainly cheaper than purchasing packs of bits individually. If you watch Home Depot for specials over the holidays you'll probably be able to find a more cost effective option if you just want the bits, and not the case too.
Never owned a Milwaukee packout case, so I can't speak to the quality there. But I'd definitely recommend the bits.
This would be massively overpriced at $100. $50 seems steep.
Every power tool I own is Milwaukee, and have probably 30 packout cases.
Milwaukee bits are not great.

Can folks give thoughts on impact drivers versus regular powerdrills? Is it worth upgrading?
jeff34270Impact drivers have more torque (and less control) than a drill for driving larger screws and lags, but you'd need a hammer drill for the concrete anchors and an impact wrench for automotive work.
Agreed. Impact drivers are great for quick rough wood-work (fastening 2x4s and larger pieces together for garden boxes or fences, for example.) Can effectively replace a nail-gun for a lot of things.
I wouldn't use an impact driver in concrete unless I had to. You're liable to break apart more of the concrete than you want, leaving your anchor nothing to hold to. Much better to use a hammer drill in concrete.
Regular powerdrill with a clutch is really nice for most household projects, as it prevents you from overtorqueing and damaging that ikea shelf you're assembling.
Peruvian, to summarize:
Powerdrill - for assembling ikea furniture
Impact driver - for fastening 2x4s and larger wood together

Hope that helps.
I like your summary...
Does anyone noticed that Milwaukee doesn't sell a power drill in the fuel version? The "M18 Fuel Impact Driver" and "M18 Fuel Impact/Driver", but never a "M18 Fuel Driver"?
Sometimes I wondered if the merged the "Impact/Driver" into one single drill?

They do have an m18 fuel drill/driver as well as an m18 fuel hammer drill/driver
I've been eyeing this kit... and now that it's $50 I'm getting cold feet... the case alone is $30 normally and I burned through my dewalt bits (absolute garbage!) so $20 for 100 bits sounds like a good deal in conjunction with my newly found milwaukee and packout addiction
was hoping to see a deal on a combo of the packout bits, hole hawg, and hole dozer sets

There are M12 and M18 FUEL equivalents for their drill/drivers and there are M12 FUEL screwdrivers. Perfect for basic home repair/installs needs though the non-FUEL ones also work just as well.

I'm pretty torn, I'm just a DIY guy. This is probably enough bits to last me a lifetime, and I just purchased a smaller version of this kit earlier in the year. But man, that case is pretty cool...
Yes for getting more torque and mounting concrete anchors. Also for breaking lugs loose
They're different tools. Drills can do some of what an impact does, and an impact can do some of what a drill does. A real tool kit will have both though, due to the different use cases.

I use the Milwaukee 12V 1/4" impact driver more than any other tool. Whether I'm doing plumbing, electrical or automotive work, it's just a very convenient, lightweight, versatile, light-duty tool. I use it to drive screws, remove/tighten bolts, drill small holes, etc. You can always use a hand tool instead, but it gets the job done faster and will less fatigue, especially if it's a repetitive task.

To add more color, impacts don't pull your arm off or fly out of your hand with resistance. They just 'hammer or tap' at it to loosen the bolt. I use the small 3 speed ones for almost every job minus some drilling items.

I think this will cover most of the job for screw bits: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-SHOCKWAVE-Impact-Duty-Alloy-Steel-Screw-Driver-Bit-Set-70-Piec... [homedepot.com]
And for drill bits (Cobalt costs more as it's more durable, up to you if you want to spend slightly extra vs titanium):
Cobalt: https://www.homedepot.c
Titanium: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-SHOCKWAVE-IMPACT-DUTY-Titanium-Drill-Bit-Set-23-Piece-48-89-46... [homedepot.com]
Happy with it so far, don't know if these are the "best" but they are good enough.
This $50 deal for 100 pcs plus case seems like a good deal but it's going to be excessive for most people.
