Picked up a Makita 1/4 Impact

[BR3W CITY]

I hemmed and hawwed for a while, but finally took the leap and bought a Drill/IMpact driver kit. My old Ryobi Jobsite drill is killing batteries and only lasts a few minutes, so I needed a new drill regardless...and I'd been eyeing up an impact to save my wrists and back on all those small fasteners.

The CT200rw kit was on sale at the Home Despot with the fathersday sale, unadvertised for only $169. Impact Driver, Drill, 2 batteries and a 25min rapid charger. I priced the tool alone at $99 with one battery....and another battery was $85! Cheaper to buy the kit!! (and you get a soft cases, but who really cares)

So far I'm pretty happy with this setup. The rapid charger is awesome, and the 1/4 driver is light and feels good in the hand. The drill is nice as well. It doesn't have that corded-drill replacement feeling that the bada$$ brushless ones do, but seems more than fast and torquey enough for most of the wood/plastic/light sheetmetal that its used for.

I'll probably put a review up on my YouTube channel for anyone interested, but in the meantime just felt like giving it the positive recommendation.
