Community Reviews

This M12 combo kit stands out mainly because it pairs the drill and impact driver with two 6Ah batteries, which gives it more run time and makes the battery pack the real value here. The larger XC packs are especially appealing for brushless or Fuel tools, and the price is viewed as strong for that battery capacity. The main knock is that the tools are not Fuel and not brushless, so the kit feels mismatched and less compelling than buying a Fuel drill or a different bundle. It is a better fit if the batteries matter more than the tool tier.

The deal is especially attractive when you specifically want 6Ah batteries, since those packs are generally very expensive.

The kit can be a practical way to get larger 6.0Ah packs for M12 Fuel tools, because Fuel tools use less energy than brushed tools.
KnightDiver
The 6.0Ah battery option can support longer runtime goals, and some buyers prefer XC 6.0 packs for capacity and run time per charge.

The Hackzall included in the bundle is described as a nice add-on, which can improve usefulness beyond just the drill and impact.

The non-Fuel, non-brushless tool lineup is criticized as weak, sluggish, and not worth buying.
TealSnow583 Evilmeinperson
The value can be undermined if the included tools are not Fuel versions, since some buyers would rather buy a Fuel hammer drill kit and add a 6.0Ah battery separately.
richycox b00gersugar
The kit may feel like a mismatch because subcompact, lightweight tools are paired with 6Ah batteries, which can add bulk.
nottrollin
Battery performance is questioned, with claims that the batteries bog down quickly during use.

Common Questions (5)

They add runtime, but they make the tiny tools bulkier and heavier, and the combo feels mismatched to some shoppers. Smaller CP batteries keep the tools more compact, while the XC 6.0 packs can help the tool stand upright on its base.
onlycomesfordeals nottrollin andyhi
Yes. Larger-capacity packs are a better fit for Fuel tools because they can supply more current and reduce voltage drop under load, which helps higher-demand tools reach their rated performance.

The deal referenced here is for 2x 6Ah batteries, even though the product image shows 2Ah packs. That matters because the 6Ah batteries are the standout value in this kit and are usually much more expensive.
KnightDiver KnightDiver
No. It is a non-Fuel, non-brushless M12 kit, which is why some shoppers recommend skipping it unless you specifically want the batteries.
TealSnow583 Evilmeinperson
A common alternative is the M12 Fuel hammer drill tool for $99.99 plus a 6.0Ah battery for $49, especially if you want better performance from the tool itself. The impact driver is seen as less essential for some use cases, so this route can be better value if you do not need the bundled non-Fuel tools.

Aren't the 5.0 batteries the better ones? Weren't the 6.0 batteries the ones with all the issues ??

The XC 5.0 High Output batteries are the best of the M12 line up. They use newer cell technology that do not have as much voltage drop under full load.

But only certain tools and workloads can take advantage of the "higher output".

See YouTube for comparisons of the XC 5.0 HO vs the XC 6.0 and other non HO M12 batteries. Torque Test Channel discusses this in multiple videos including a review of the newer top model M12 impact wrenches... The M12 5.0 HO is the clear winner and a must have to get full ratings / specs out of some (high torque) tools.

The M18 tools run into similar limitations with battery packs based on older cell tech. The newer M18 impacts require the M18 Forge batteries to get the most out of the tool. The forge batteries use a cells with "tabless" design. It's not clear to me if the HO M12's use the newer tabless cells or just a different battery chemistry.

It is an odd combo to pair these tiny and light subcompact tools with 6 Ah batteries.
Like putting 22" donk rims on a Mini Cooper.

My local store had them in a display like this.

Agreed.

I purchased the $169 kit that comes the ratchet but smaller CP batteries. Delivery isn't until next week, but plan to keep it over this deal due to the smaller/lighter batteries. I'm looking for the lower weight with these smaller tools and smaller batteries as a supplement to slightly larger / more powerful M12 fuel tools and batteries I already own.

But I could see where some might prefer the XC 6.0 kit for the the larger capacity / run time per charge and the ability to stand the tool up on it's grip due to the size of the XC battery base.

Dont buy it. It's not fuel. No brushless

Non fuel M12 is weak and sluggish. I 100%agree with you.
