(More customer reviews)Got this combo kit last Thursday. Used the impact drill to drive (7) 1/2 X 4 inch lag screws into a 2X10 ledger. Then used the power drill to drill various 2.5 and 3 inch deck screws into the ledger/joist hangers for a deck extension.
Then used the power drill with an auger attachment to pre-drill my 16 inch wide by 16 inches deep holes in the ground for my deck footing piers. Drill did not die. Just backed out of tree roots and then kept going. Started at 7am and the power drill battery died on me at 6:30pm. Switched to the impact drills battery and kept digging holes. Charged the dead battery, but by quitin time (8:15pm) didn't need to change the 2nd battery.
This is exactly the type of performance that I wanted. Though I'm by electricity, I did not want to hassle with corded tools (other then my handy chopsaw). Got the circular saw and reciprocating saw coming enroute through Fed Ex tomorrow. After the rain passes by Wed of this week, I should be able to test the way the batteries last with the circular saw/sawzall. Got some 6 X 6 posts, 2X10X12 & 2X4's to rip.
Judging by how the batteries performed with drilling the holes for the piers, I'm expecting them to allow for quite a number of rips. I think I'm getting my monies worth ouot of the drills, that's for sure.IT WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE HOW EASY THE IMPACT DRILL DROVE IN THE LAG SCREWS. EASY.
The 3 inch deck screws went into the treated lumber like it was slicing through butter. REALLY.
The battery life is AWESOME. I wanted the Makita tools. After reading up on Hitachi and now having used them, I don't regret passing on the higher priced Makita tools.

HXP Lithium-Ion Batteries Last Longer and Weigh LessThe KC18DDL Combo Kit includes two 3.0-Ah HXP lithium-ion batteries. These batteries weigh half of what traditional NiCd or NiMH batteries weigh--in fact, tools featuring HXP batteries are on average one pound lighter than tools using traditional batteries.
Additionally, HXP batteries last three times longer than their competition. Where NiCd and NiMH batteries could be used for up to 500 charge cycles, HXP Lithium-Ion batteries can be used for up to 1,500 charge cycles!
HXP Lithium-Ion batteries operate within optimal voltage limits, protecting both the tool and batteries from damage. Protection circuitry built into the batteries and charger monitors the charge and discharge for each battery cell, resulting in peak operating performance.
If a surge in power is detected during use, Hitachi's Over-Current Protection technology will temporarily shut of the power to protect the batteries and tool from being damaged. This feature allows the power to return to optimal voltage, thereby extending battery and tool life beyond any competitive lithium-ion products.
HXP batteries come with a two-year HXP Lithium-Ion Battery Warranty, which protects against possible defects in materials and workmanship.
The Industry's Longest Lithium-Ion Tool WarrantyEvery Hitachi cordless power tool is designed to the highest standards and rigorously tested for both performance and durability. All HXP Lithium-Ion cordless tools come with a Lifetime Lithium-Ion Tool Warranty, which protects against possible defects in materials and workmanship.
