Bought this set years ago and it's my most used set of battery tools. I like that the tools are the opposite of bulky yet are still quite capable. I've since added the mini chainsaw, workspace blower, and some beefier batteries.

Edit: The 1.5ah batteries are certainly serviceable for all the tools, but you will definitely get better performance and longevity from higher capacity batteries on the sawzall and the impact. Since I've gotten bigger batteries, I keep the small ones for the light, screw gun, and ratchet to keep them light and manuverable.

Heading off all the "brushed, don't buy" comments at the pass I see.

The only thing I don't have is a ratchet and I don't even know what I would use that for, and yet I still want this lol. Help, someone convince me not to buy!

I have had this drill and impact for ~7 years and reach for them before my m18 brushless ones unless I need the power. The ratchet is one of my favorite tools as well. It doesn't have tons of power, but if you break the bolt loose like a normal ratchet, it saves a ton of time running it out. Absolutely love it

I use the Hackzall and ratchet pretty often. Solid budget set or just a set to keep at a camp.

Dang, just bought a ratchet a few weeks ago. I don't NEED this but man it's tempting. Great Deal!

For all the "It's not brushless" crowd. I've owned brushed tools for 20 years, I have had one drill go bad in those 20 years. Unless you're using them every day they're most likely going to last for a very long time.

I heard manually loosening bolts with this ratchet can damage it, is that not the case?

I have not have any issues doing this and I've had it for a few years now, mainly use it on vehicles and have loosened some pretty tight stuff with it. It ratchets like a normal ratchet, so I wouldn't use it on anything you wouldn't use a normal ratchet for, but I have no quarrels about pushing on the thing...
