Bought mainly for the impact driver since that's what I needed, the extra drill was a nice bonus. If you're using it for general handyman repairs around the house this will certainly fit the bill. The impact driver is powerful enough to go thru tile with the correct bit and the battery life is more than enough for any light-medium duty job. As with any power drill this thing is easy to use, a couple of youtube videos should teach you everything you need if you're unfamiliar. I'd recommend for sure!

As with a number of reviewers, purchasing new was more cost-efficient (during a promotion) than replacing the old battery. Unfortunately, these have way less torque than the previous model.Regardless, they still function, and I can fit both inside the case of the old one, and there was no need to worry about bits because I have 3 sets already. For small home projects, I’d recommend them.

Good buy for the money. Quite impressed with the impact driver, really made easy work driving in screws in tuff lumber!

Great combo... use it often and neither the drill or impact screw driver are babied. They get rough use. The Drill is still going like new. compact and powerful. The Impact screw driver worked great until I REALLY abused it by using it to drive 6" long lag bolts into concrete... a lot of them! It really isn't designed for this type of heavy work. It did drive them all, but a couple of months later it decided not to work. Probably a minor fix but I will buy another one, fix this one and then use both.;

Removed a lot of good size Nuts and Bolts. Worked very well. I've always been impressed by Black & Decker they make great stuff. A lot of people don't realize DeWalt products are made by Black & Decker. Just the color of the plastic and the price changes.Highly recommended.

Really like this brand and have found them to be reliable and reasonably powered. The 20v battery has impressive charge and is good to go in a hour on the charger.I have admittedly abused my previous B and D Drill for three years with almost daily use. Only recently did it required replacement.

Es un producto muy útil de buena calidad en un buen precio por el kit y que si se cuida, se usa correctamente y se le da su mantenimiento es muy aguantador. Yo lo uso 5 días durante unas 8 o 9 horas y el primer kit que compre me duró año y medio.

I’m amazed by this tool. I bought one years ago, and I have beaten the crap out of it more times than I can count. And it just keeps on working. It’s not a very expensive tool. There are many more expensive ones on the market. But this one really does the job. I’ve rarely run it out of juice in a day, and I’ve used it to hang drywall for entire days. Couple of weeks ago, I was using it to fix some deck boards and it quit. Dead. Never gave it a second thought. Got online, (they still make the same one), ordered a replacement. This set looked like a good deal. Came with the drill, an impact drill, (good for tapcons) and a battery. My battery from the old drill still works and is the same, so now I got two tools and two batteries! If this one lasts half as long as my original it will be worth it.

Recomiendo tener otra bateria, es para uso domestico, cumple muy bien, el taladro de impacto se desempeña muy bien , el taladro atornillador tiene buena potencia sin llegar a nda como una marca de uso industrial es para uso domestico pero cumple..Recomiendo se recibe por lo que se paga..Buena relación Costo-Beneficio

Porqué la califico como casera, porque no puedes estar laborando en una empresa como contratista, disponerte a hacer un trabajo donde se necesita potencia de la herramienta, una batería que te dure al menos una hora de trabajo continuo y además una herramienta que no se caliente demasiado con el uso que le vas a dar. Hay herramientas para uso industrial, profesional, casero y hasta ocasional. Este paquete es bueno porque puedes (con una batería extra), taladrar barrenos para hacer un mueble, repisa, clóset o cualquier trabajo dentro del hogar, donde el uso es un fin de semana o una semana de vacaciones dedicada a mejoras del hogar. La batería tiene excelente duración, te aguanta para construir un clóset, una mesita y hacer una buena cantidad de barrenos en acero, sin embargo recomiendo adquirir una extra. La llave de impacto no tiene control de velocidad o parece no tenerlo, porque puede llegar a apretar un tornillo de más. El torque es bueno, similar al que se daría con una llave de estrías aplicando fuerza con el brazo. Yo conseguí en ebay un par de baterías extras con un cargador a buen precio, para que cada herramienta tenga su batería y no estar intercambiando una única batería. El paquete es una caja con las dos herramientas, una batería y un cargador. Recomiendo adquirir baterías extra, un maletín y unos dado de impacto largos, en medidas estándar y milimétricos, en particular los dados Tekton, modelos 4845 y 4850.

I'll admit something. Despite being a fairly "handy" guy who back in the early 70's worked in home construction, I had never really tumbled to just how wonderful "impact drivers" are for driving large screws into and out of things easily. I'd been doing it with my regular old hand drills, and it worked, and I figured that was that.It was only relatively recently, courtesy of two back-to-back hurricanes lining up on Oahu, that I noticed just how much easier it was to board up the windows (and there are a LOT of windows on our house) with 2x4's and plywood with an impact driver, which is something all the "helpers" I hired brought with them. It became clear that to a large degree drills are for drilling and impact drivers are for driving and removing screws. This was a bit of an epiphany to me, since I thought I had all the tools I needed. Apparently not.The amazing thing thing about using an impact driver is that it's so merciful to your wrist; it doesn't torque it around like using a drill does, since the staccato hammer blows are so fast. This also means you don't need to bear down with pressure to keep from stripping the screw. But I've also gone to torx-head screws and am backing away from philips-heads, because those enhance the effect; with large torx-head screws and an impact driver, one acquires a new super power.So I wanted to get one, but didn't want to drop a ton of money because I'll only use it sporadically. Actually Amazon had some no-name impact driver WITH batter and charger for under $40 when I initially looked, and that was probably a great deal... doesn't seem to be offered now though. After looking around, I decided that the specs of this impact driver would do the job, and the spare batteries are readily available from 3rd parties. Why get the combo? Because the combo only costs $10 more than the impact driver alone. (The drill that comes in this combo is pretty basic; fewer clutch settings, lighter in build, only one speed (but variable with the trigger)... nothing special and not as good as my existing B&D 18v NiCad tools. (I'll note that one can go on ebay and buy an adapter plate to run those 18v tools off these lithium batteries, though really I don't see a huge need. The difference between 18 and 20v is not only minimal numerically, but the 20v lithium batteries actually run at around 18v under load. (Lithium is slightly lighter and slighly more likely to catch fire, so that's a wash to me.)Anyhow, the most recent storm just passed, and I went out to pull down some boards over access doors... and man! the impact driver was sweet. Great big screws just came backing out of deep wood with nearly no effort. Where has this thing been all my life?I'll note that the "charger" that comes with the combo is pretty anemic, I think about a fifth of an amp, so it'll take a lot of hours to recharge a depleted battery. I've ordered a fast charger along with a couple of third-party 4ah spare batteries. Of course, one doesn't HAVE to do that... the slow charger works fine if you don't mind "slow", and is probably actually better for your battery. Just a "guy thing" maybe... I don't want it to take an entire day to recharge each of the larger batteries.I'm giving this 4 stars to start out and will update it as I use it more. But my initial review is "cool", it seems to work like the more expensive ones do. It misses the last star because it feels a bit less ergonomic in my hand than the $200 ones I've tried.do YOU have an impact driver?

This combo set is a good deal for the price. The 1.5AH battery should last a very long time, and replacements are easily found. The whole Black+Decker 20V line of tools use the same batteries and chargers, which makes it VERY easy to continue to buy from the same manufacturer.As far as the drill motor, it is light weight, fast, and has enough power to drill through anything. With the 1.5AH battery installed, the balance and weight are both perfect for light work around the house. The casing is plastic, but the parts you touch when holding it is rubberized. There is a Philips and flat-head drill bit that snaps into the back of the handle.For the impact driver, it is about the same weight and dimensions as the drill motor. The chuck has a locking mechanism that holds the bits in place. This is very important when you are using it to back out tough fasteners.The LED is a weak point, as it is barely bright enough to light the work area in a dark room. In sunlight, it's useless, but you probably wouldn't need it anyways if it was that bright.Overall, this is a great addition to the garage. I tend to abuse my tools, and so far Black+Decker tools have been VERY durable and resilient.
