i sold my 12v dewalt to newb-brad last year.
my 18v set is rock solid.
when you shop for off-brand ones though, check the charge times. my dad got me a harbor freight cordless impact... FIVE HOUR CHARGE. i still haven't used it.

I bought a few of these for work and will say that it is the nicest cordless I've used to date.

I'm kind of considering something like this. Maybe a smaller "kit" just because I don't need the other stuff at this point in my life.

That makita does look awesome. I grew up using the makitas with the real long battery that filled the handle. They pretty much sucked and were all replaced with Dewalts of various volt ratings. Only thing I don't like about dewalts besides semi high initial cost is replacement batteries might as be made of gold. ($80 versus $40 of most other companies.)
Still watching ebay though.

Bought this last night. For $300 like new, drill has been used once apparently. Everything is absolutely perfect. Guy needed cash to pay his lawyer so his wife doesn't take everything in his divorce or something stupid like that.
Came with a drill, sawzall, circ saw, work light, and 2 batteries. He included an extra charger and a "bad" battery(found out when i got home and tried to charge it.) He also included this sweet drill/driver set, it includes all the super cool quick change adapters and whatnot so i'm pretty happy with my purchase.
So i made the big purchase and hopefully these tools last me a long time. I'm pretty happy with my buy i figure i saved atleast $300 off retail when you include the extra pieces. Thanks for all the advice and info guys.
