However, I do like the lower price. I've seen multiple smaller tool resellers list this combo for $175 to $179 recently... so HD certainly needs to do a better job on their BF pricing as they are paying significantly less than the regional suppliers given their volume / purchasing power.
Edit - Seller now listed as GenuineTools.com. Also, I've never had to deal with Milwaukee warrantee repairs but per the comments in this thread - I doesn't sound like the seller or receipt will be an issue unless you receive really old stock and were nearing the end of the warrantee period.
Community Reviews
This Milwaukee M12 FUEL hammer drill and impact driver kit stands out for compact size and surprising power, especially for a 12V platform. The impact driver gets praised as a workhorse for lug nuts, lag bolts, and tight spaces, and the newer FUEL tools are described as nearly matching higher-voltage performance, including strong hammering into cement. The main caution is warranty uncertainty with the reseller, since authorization is unclear and coverage may depend on the serial number and proof of purchase. Pricing has also swung lower before, with recent reports around $108 to $146 and earlier deals near $139, so the current price is not the low end.
The M12 FUEL hammer drill delivers surprisingly strong hammering power for common jobs like cement work.
The M12 impact driver works as a compact workhorse for lug nuts, lag bolts, and small car fasteners.
Milwaukee warranty coverage can be validated using proof of purchase and the tool's manufacturing date.
Milwaukee warranty can be honored when the serial number is legible and the tool falls within the model's coverage period.
The seller's authorization status is unclear, which can create uncertainty about warranty coverage.
The kit price has recently been lower, so the current $170 deal may not match earlier $110-$130 or $139 Memorial Day pricing.
The electronic clutch can be inconsistent, including stopping on a 2-inch hole saw even at lower gear.
Some settings may cause the drill to turn off when the chuck is moved in certain directions.
