This looks a good price for Quality Kit.

Yeh that seems cheap, that 18v stuff is extremely powerful too, people say it better than the 28v stuff they used to do.

I've just bought one as my old drill a Hitachi (now rebranded as Hikoki) has a chuck that's not keeping grip of the bits anymore. Its a pain trying to get a drill bit back out when it comes loose- the Impact Driver is a bonus (includes a battery) It will probably end up in the Jeep as a roadside tool for wheel changing.

I was going to buy a Milwaukee Drill last year but decided to wait until Hitachi broke completely - offer seems good value - I collect it tomorrow.

I remember the other post, glad you dropped on a good offer, they are very good. Milwaukees weakness used to be wiring, like solder joints breaking etc. but they have sorted that
