Got the exact same set from HD too. $149 at the time. Had it for 4-5 years now. And I use it on a professional, daily bases. Great value, still running strong.Originally posted by project240

This is an exceptional set for the average homeowner. I couldn't find it on the Canadian site, but I bought mine on sale for $125 with a 49pc drill/driver set. I'm a carpenter and have used many different drills including 18v, 24v, hammer drills, etc and now this is what I use for 95% of my work. It is so much lighter than the 18v version, it's smaller to get into tighter spots if needed and has just as much power. The impact easily has enough power to drive 3" wood screws into hardwood, though this is one the task I still grab my bigger drill for if I have more than a handful of screws to drive.
Overall, I love this drill more than any other drill I have and so do many of the electricians/carpenters I work with. I've had mine for about 3 years, use it almost daily and hasn't skipped a beat. Still on the original batteries and still going strong.
