   That's a good set from what I can gather, but it has the compact batteries, which may be OK, unless you are really using the tools heavily.  The XC battery is a higher output battery, that of course costs more.

   I am not a pro, so I was thinking it would be sufficient for me.

   Yes. A company I was working for gave them out. My luck I had to settle for the Makita. Dang it!

   Good kit.

   corded option

   My experience is with light, but regular use, I'm working on my fourth cordless drill.  I finally wised up and got a RIdgid that has a lifetime service agreement on it, including batteries, which I've already replaced once.   I have found that buying two new batteries can quickly reach the point of "just buy a new tool, get new technology and new charger."

   When shelling out a couple of bens for a tool, I'd want it to last, so I got the Makita CORDED impact driver as a Xmas present from my family.  As far as I know, they're the only one that makes one of these, other than corded impact wrenchs, which is not what I wanted.    I've used it a few times already with tood results.  And it's good to know I can go the whole day and not have to swap a battery if I need  to.

   And no battery failure.

   Rigid has abandoned it's customers on the battery warranty issue. Read about it on their own website!
