I will cast my vote for the Black and Decker 18v cordless drill. I have found that I don't really need an impact driver so I skipped that. I got two batteries, a charger, a set of drill bits, screwdriver bits (I use these all the time) and a carryin case (do NOT use) for one low price. Battery life is acceptable for nearly any project I take on. Big ones like fences and decks will require battery changes (make sure you have topped off the spare battery) but small projects will be completed with plenty of torque to spare. I haven't GOT any complaints about this drill. I replaced a Makita 9.6 volt drill with the B&D three years ago, The Makita batteries had reached the end of their life. They didn't have the longevity to do most tasks and one barely turned the chuck at all. It didn't have much torque at begin with and as time went on, less and less. I wanted more power (har!) and got it. I wasn't sorry. Eighteen volts will see you through any household project except BUILDING the house! More is a waste, IMO.
