Looking at the ads this morning, HD has a deal on Makita 18 volt kits. Drill, impact, 6 1/2 circ, and either a recip or ocsillating tool. I'm looking to make the switch from yellow. I read a lot of opinions and what the favorites are but, before dropping over 300 bucks, I want to make sure. My gut says go for it.

Lots of people talking today on the forum about the batteries. I have no issues, but I know quite a few that do.

No problem here with the batteries. The impacts get used daily and no problems.

How much is that deal?

In southern AZ it's $329.00 with a carry bag and two batteries. Sounds pretty good.

That's normal price for the brushless kit.

Btw, I have that kit and really like it. It's a good set.

I have had my makita impact, drill, sawzall, and radio for two years and have no problems. With the tools or batteries and I leave the tools in my truck year round. Through the heat and cold. I highly recommend them and am really pleased with my tools.

Makita has a little trouble with their math:
