Didn't take long for a Milwaukee fanboy to comment on how much they got there M12 kit for years ago. I waited a little bit to buy this set so I didn't get it for 49.99. I got it for 52.99 and wish I got them earlier, because they're worth more than the price. Rikon actually have larger tools sold on woodworking sites like Woodcraft. They have very good tools and these are good too. I hope they make more tools that use these batteries. First the batteries last pretty good after being left out in the cold. I did this to when it was -11 to see how they would work the next day. They worked like any normal battery would work left out in the cold. I decided to first try these out on my suv on some light stuff. Were I was impressed was the test I did with highway signs. I used 2 post from the damaged post bin. One was really old and weathered and the other was newer and had been hit by a dump truck. I cut each down to 4 feet in length and started my test. I drilled 20 holes in each post using both drills. I put 20 bolts (impact only), 20 screws, and even spade bits (impact only). I also used these to build a mudroom bench and horse mount steps. I would highly recommend before they get too high in price. I own many different tool brands and these are good. They feel well made and you can order more batteries and charger from the Rikon site. These are made in china. My only complaint would be just the case. It's okay, but not one of the best. Also register your tools like I did.
