Cordless Tool Advice

HungLikeJesus · 03-07-2009, 01:41 PM

I've been in need of a new cordless drill for several years, as the batteries in my old Makita only last a few minutes and I can't find new ones.

Amazon has an 18 V Milwaukee on sale (regularly $398, on sale for $159), and, after a week of contemplation I was about to buy it, until I noticed that they have a combo pack, which includes the same drill plus a cordless impact driver for just a few dollars more.

So now I'm trying to decide between the drill, the combo, or just the impact driver (I haven't looked for a price for that).

Have any of you used a cordless impact driver? Will it make the drill redundant? What do you use it for - construction work, electrical work, mechanical work (car, motorcycle, etc.), or what?
