I have used both of the tools in this set numerous times since purchasing it a while back. I used to be a General Contractor and therefore have used many cordless and corded tools. While I cannot speak for their longevity at this point, I can honestly say that these are the best performing cordless drill and impact that I have ever owned. I highly recommend them.

So far I have used these for drilling and screwing into wood, metal and stucco. They work great. Plenty of power. I only wish the storage bag was larger for holding additional drill and driver bits. I also hope Rockwell adds additional tools to this lithium-ion line.

I purchased the following Rockwell RK1801K2 18-Volt Lithiumtech Cordless Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit mainly because of the Battery Warranty. Every other Cordless Drill Battery had died within three years of purchase (I am not in construction) this is under normal use. Upon reading the agreement i was instructed to register Battery (within 90 days of purchase) both my regular mail and on line to complete Warranty, it said i would receive confirmation within 6-8 weeks ok no problem thats normal. now almost 90 days later no confirmation code,cannot get hold of anyone at Rockwell either by calling (spent 2 hours on the phone on hold today never actually spoke to a human being)cannot login to their website keep getting a "server error", there isn't even "live support" on their site !! no one is available
I just hope the "life time warranty" wasn't just another scam .............
extremely disappointed in their customer service, imagine if there was an issue with the Battery ...
I wonder if anyone else has experienced the same issue ???

I am extereamly happy with the drill and cordles impact .The crdless impact hit hard and works on almot every thing iuse it on . i am a semi mechanic and it works great on trailers also .I would recomend this set!

I really like this drill and impact so far, but haven't used a whole lot yet. The idea of free batteries for life was a real selling point since i've been through three drills because of batteries.

I have had the combo for about 3 months and have used it plenty. Great balance in your hand. Plenty of of power and torque. Price was very good compared to other brands. Can't beat the replacement battery deal either. Love the color. The carry bag could be a little larger for bit and drill sets. Impact can be used as another drill. Great product, highly recommend it! I have had Dewalt, Black and Decker, Makita, Craftsman,and countless other brands of cordless drills through out the years. They were all heavy, with big batteries, and didn't hold charge long. Most of these cost much more than the Rockwell. I would buy another if mine was lost or stolen.

I have used this drill about a month now. I really like the power for the compact size and light weight. The Lithium Battery charges fast and is light, makes both the impact and drill easy to handle and no fatigue. Both have surprising power for the size and the drill has a 1/2 chuck that locks when its not turning so you can really tighten it up. I compared these to the Rigid Brand at Home Depot and they are a little more but worth it because of the larger capacity chuck. Two things the drill and impact driver lack: they need a magnet strip on the base of the impact, and a stronger one on the drill hold screws and drill bits, just like my Royobi drills. Also both are missing that handy integrated wire hangar so I can clip it on my belt or the side of my tool box.

Ive been waiting over a year to make this purchase... i finally decided to buy a good tool instead of a cheap one....i was looking at Milwaukee and Bosch...then Rockwell entered the scene with lifetime batteries....done deal...im sure that this will be my favorite tool for years tocome

well made but dumb color. if you buy the circular saw thinking you can use the batteries from the drill, batteries don't fit the circular saw unless you cut a little plastic piece off the drill batteries for the circular saw. also they are not as heavy duty

Haven't had a chance to use the impact driver yet, but the drill is fantastic.Handles great.
