This is the perfect drill and impact wrench combo! I didn't realize how much quieter and smoother a brushless motor is. I bought the brushed equivalent of this kit for my dad and when I played with them side by side I noticed a noticeable difference in smoothness, noise and weight - the brushless is slightly lighter, quieter and softer (no hard hits). I bought this MOSTLY installed to upgrade my old Makita 9.6v cordless drill which is about 12 years old. This new kit is a beast in comparison and to be honest it's probably overkill for my normal duties, but it costs less than some of the other lower performing kits. in wood for some nuts and bolts and I also use this to tighten the plastic fasteners on my bikes - the clutch is set to "4" (which I also used my old drill bit for). The clutch works great for tricky jobs and the bit attachment has a stronger clutch click compared to my old aging Makita 9.6 bit. The impact wrench is phenomenal too. I've used it primarily on my car to remove and install some simple fasteners and surprisingly it's been used to easily remove a nut (rated at 80 ftlbs of torque). I drilled some 2-3" screws when attaching the fence and that worked great too (I use Makita's gold bits). no slip. In general, I am pleased with this Upguard! I'm looking for more Makita products to use batteries. I love the fact that I can run a sweeper or an angle grinder on the same set of batteries.
