That was the Father’s Day special but for $99 which was a pretty good deal. Guess it was a temporary item. @$79 it’s a great deal.
Kind of a weird kit though the screwdriver and impact driver. I can see why they had a hard time selling it.
I think they were trying to hit a price point ($99) and run through an overproduction of screwdrivers. The drill and I driver is still sitting at $129 I think.
That said, my buddy bought it and likes the screwdriver well enough.
Agree. Never did see the benefit of the screwdriver….DR99 wrote:

Yea, heard good reviews on the screwdriver. But you can basically do the samething with a drill and more. IdkShuutr wrote:

For $79 I would probably give it a try.

I could totally use something like that man! My only question would be if the M12 system could provide enough power to really torque something down.
Try it. It’ll surprise you. If not, sell it.
I bought the kit when it was $99 have a lot of m18 and figured I’d get my m12 loving started!!
I was very optimistic ab the power and runtime as it is not the fuel version..also I’m used to the greatness my m18 fuel drill and impact provide!!
first thoughts are that I really really like the compact size and weight!! Both have side clips and they are easy to forget that their hooked to your belt
The impact has some balls for its minimal size & weight!! I was very surprised..it’s not gunna sink a 6″ lag bolt but it has no problem with sinking 3″ screws into all types of wood..it also performed well with a self tapping screw into steel!!
*specs
-1000 ft. Lb. torque
-2500 rpm
-3300 ipm
-only 1.9 lbs!!!
The screw driver is jus that..kinda slow rpms but it still performed quite well..it did great pre drilling cabinets & aluminum storm doors..it’s got the torque for smaller drilling but certainly doesn’t do it in any hurry..
*specs
-175 ft. Lb. torque
-500 rpm
-1.7lbs
Both drills provide a lengthy runtime on the slim pack they come with..easily get a day out of a charge!!
Overall the impact surprised me and I find myself reaching for it over the m18 most of the time(unless I need some raw ass kickin power haha)..the power lost is worth the light & slim design!! The screwdriver has its place but it is certainly limited(it is after all only a “screwdriver”
Perfect for light to medium duty and great to keep in the house!!
That’s a good deal for both the impact and driver and 2 batteries and charger… Not bad
great “starter kit” for just $80

That review is pretty outdated. The brushed M12 drills were updated about 2 years ago. That kit has the newer drills with better spec’s
If I have to run to HD today and they have one, it’s mine.

Actually, if the set came with an impact driver, two batteries and this set of screwdrivers for $79, I probably would have bought one for myself
I think they put in the screwdriver as a bonus so that they can advertise it as a combo kit. Does anybody really use a screwdriver??
