not Brushless no go
For most people, burning out a motor is a pipe dream. My dad had mad 3 cordless brushed drills in my lifetime, and he got a new drill because the battery went on all them and an upgrade was wanted. I have used his corded 30+year old drill to mix mud many times and it hasn't burned out. Most people don't have to worry about a brushed or brushless motor for tools.

I've put off buying the ratchet because I'm fond of my pneumatics, but I think I'll bite this time. Just glancing at facebook I bet I can unload the rest of the set for $150 in an eyeblink.

Agreed. I've finished many projects with my Milwaukee M18 brushed drill/impact driver from 2011. Driven/drilled thousands of deck screws, pocket holes, and lag bolts. I use my drill with wheel brush attachment. They're still going strong on the original batteries too (they don't last as long of course). If I was a contractor would these have lasted as long? Maybe not. When I was doing telecom I would burn out Dewalt XRP hammerdrill motors every 1 to 2 years. My personal experience was the Milwaukee and Makita lasted 5+ years doing the same work. Thus why I bought the Milwaukee for my personal use and have been happy for the last 10 years.

Is brushless better? Probably. Is it needed for your average person? No.

My parents bought me a basic Ryobi set when I graduated college as kind of a starter set. I feel like this would be a great gift like that was.
When you're young, moving, starting to do some vehicle maintenance, house/apt stuff, this would definitely work.

Ordered this kit twice already and cancelled, because of no stock....tried another option that's a 30 min drive for me and will wait and see ...one store said 1 in stock, the other said 5, and they both got cancelled, this third one says 4 in stock....i guess I'll see...

While this is good, if you check the latest brushless hack deals, you could get a
FUEL drill and driver combo for $95, a FUEL Hackzall for about $85 and a brushed ratchet for $85ish or less. I know no flashlight and more expensive. But that includes 3 brushless and one brushed tools with one 2a and TWO 4a batteries and 2 bags. I think brushless tools is a better deal right now.
That is an interesting way of doing it, it's about $70 bucks more but like you said, you get those 2 4ah batteries.....

Got this set 3ish years ago for the same price during their Father's Day sale. They've been used for automotive maintenance and around my home and Im really impressed with them. I haven't ever felt the need to go brushless. I would like to get bigger capacity batteries eventually but having two batteries has been good at mitigating that problem. That sawzaw is really useful because of how compact it is. I recently used that to cut copper water pipes when I installed our water softener in our home. I've used the drill the most. Ratchet and flashlight are second most used, then impact driver and sawzaw last.

They still work perfect to this day. They are just dirtier looking. I recommend this set. Would buy again if I had to do it all over again.
a spray mix of water and LA's Totally Awesome degreaser from Dollar Tree cleans them right up.

They have the motor type listed incorrectly in the "Compare Similar Power Tool Combo Kits" chart. . When comparing the kit from the OP and your link, the product overview is the same and it is the 2498-25 kit.

Can't believe this has this much attention. This is a pretty mediocre set especially considering all the m12 deals there have been lately. Just my opinion...

I jumped heavily into the m12/FUEL series. This is a good deal but I preferred the other ones with free tool. This combo has the smaller 1.5 ah batteries and they are not the FUEL series and not brushless.

The impact driver is one of the smaller version but it has no torque selection for smaller projects like the FUEL versions . I may try to pick it up on its own or find it used sometime just to have.

That being said still a solid starter kit.

Prior to picking up the M12 surge, this was my go-to driver for inside projects. But you're right in that it's lacking torque. I don't know that the fuel version is what you'd want as a big boy driver though - a good 18V driver will crank 2000 inlbs and the M12 fuel only clocks 1300. Maybe my experience is nonstandard, but I can't think of a project where I'd want 1300 but not 2000. IMO at some point you want a good 18V driver, but again, maybe I'm missing out by not having the fuel version of this.

I would like to know the difference between this and FUEL series. I would like to replace my previous drill/driver for home usages.
