Pretty great deal for an intro set of power tools! If you don't own a drill, this is a good first set and a good price for it! If you're looking to build up a power tool inventory, then research the battery ecosystem(s) you want to invest in before making your purchase unless you're willing to rebuy some tools or go with multiple ecosystems.
For those who are buying their first set: The drill and impact driver look very similar but have two different purposes. The drill is good for drilling holes and putting screws into "light" materials (such as drywall). The impact driver is good for driving screws into harder materials (such as wood). If you try to drive a screw into wood with a drill, it's easy to strip the screw head because of the speed that the bit will turn as it's slipping. The impact driver makes tiny little movements (very quickly) that help prevent it from slipping and you're less likely to strip the screw head. (It is kinda noisy though.)
I've watched many and they were all complimentary of the tools, particularly for the price. Torque Test Channel on YouTube showed that the Skil 12v impact wrench was actually more powerful than the Milwaukee, with default batteries anyway.
Do you happen to have a link to one you watched that were negative about these?
It's interesting you mention this I am not sure how many people read about the FLEX tools with their leaking batteries it's interesting because Flex and Skil are the same company.
I've had this kit for over a year now and it is by far my most used set for around the house. I'm pretty sure I paid $99 for it back then. At this price, I wouldn't hesitate to grab it.

Well , i was going to grab the multi-tool at $59 ; but i saw this deal instead. So for $20 more ; sure I'd like to have the extra tools. This deal includes the multi-tool. There is a video on YouTube where the Skil Multi-tool goes head to head with the Milwaukee ; and it was a dead heat.
