I reviewed the Impact driver only from this kit last week but I never took it out of the box. I said that I was really mad at Milwaukee for not standardizing there battery coupling. In other words why can't Milwaukee use the same hook up to there tools like DeWalt, Makita, and festool. Well I broke down and bought this 2691-22 kit because I needed to get an Impact Driver and all I can say is WOW!!!!!! I have used a friends Dawalt and also a Makita and I know this Milwaukee 1/4" Impact is AWESOME!!!! It delivers much more power than the Makita and Dewalt. And it feels better in the hand also than the other 2 tools. I tested this tool out on my John Deere GT235 mower's blades and in less time than my CP air impact wrench would take I had all three blades off and I didn't have to pull out the air hose and lift the heavy air tool under my mower. Then I drove 3 - 6"x 3/8" lag bolts into a pressure treated 4"x4" without drilling a pilot hole and countersunk all 3 of them. This tool never slowed down or grunted. My friend that has the Dewalt 1/4" Impact driver tried my new Milwaukee and drove 2 more lag bolts in the same 4"x4" and turned to me and said he wanted to trade his 4 piece Dewalt kit and his Dewalt Job Site radio for my Impact driver with charger and 2 compact batteries. My answer was NO WAY!!!!!!! As for the Drill/Driver in the kit I might use it, but will probably get the Compact Hammer drill and sell the one that came in the kit. I now have 2 18v NiCad hammer drills and 2 V18 hammer drills a V18 flash light a NiCad Job Site Radio and now a M18 Impact driver and drill/driver all made by Milwaukee. And that just scratches the surface of other makes of cordless tools and corded tools. I do have to admit that Milwaukee still has the best fit and feels better in the hand than any other tool I own or have tried. Also Milwaukee has the best warranty of any other tool except Festool. But I can buy 3 Milwaukee 2691-22 kits for just 1 Festool Impact driver with charger and batteries. And I would rather have the MIlwaukee. I have a Milwaukee warranty shop within 6 miles of my house so I have no complaints at allGet more detail about Milwaukee 2691-22 18-Volt Compact Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit.
