I have the previous generation subcompact, and agree with the above that the drill is pretty awesome. I also have an older gen5x hammer drill, which I almost never grab because the subcompact is so much more comfortable to use.
I'm not a huge fan of the impact driver. It drives fine, but I really miss not being able to choose a speed. The trigger is variable speed, but I'm a noob and overdrive screws all the time with the impact driver. I prefer my older gen5x impact driver which allows you to choose a slow speed as to not overdrive screws.
Otherwise through, the driver works fine.

I have the older gen as well, but this driver has 3 speeds and self tapping selector on the rear of the base
These are my go to tools! Can you throw them down an elevator shaft like a Milwaukee? No. Are they powerful and light? Yes. Price seems just OK to me as I spent 69 or 79 a few years ago for blemished units. They were new. I think they were more like over production. They are more powerful than my Milwaukee 12v tools.
Picked up this set today, but while in store, I saw they have an 8 piece tool kit for $299. Since I needed the blower also, it makes more sense to get the 5 additional tools for $89 more. Unfortunately, it's out of stock.

Crap. Now I kind of want to upgrade... I wish you didn't tell me that.
