Excellent
I bought this drill almost a year ago. I use it professionally (I'm a helicopter mechanic) and at home. This is a very powerfull and LIGHT drill. I replaced a dewalt 18v when I bought this one. There is no way I will go back to any other drill. I use it everyday, I even used it to put up a 12' X 21' metal building. Putting up the building did put a bit of a taxing on the drill, but that is a job that is meant for a screw gun not a cordless drill. It worked excellet though. The impact has worked very well for me as well, however I haven't put it through the rigorous beatings that I have put the drill through but I'm sure it would handle it's self in the same manor. My favorite part is how quick the batteries charge you never have to worry about running out of juice.

Good Value
My 9V Makita finally went belly up so I saw this combo kit. At the time it had a rebate for a free third battery. The power of the 18 V over the old 9V is very clear to see but the battery charges in far less time so with the two that come it you should always have power close at hand. I like the hand chuck and there are more setting than I had used in the past. The light I have not used but the driver and the impact driver are both welcome new member to my tool box.

A co-worker recommended this kit though he has the two piece which means no light. I would go with either one.

I wish I'd had one 10 years ago
I don't know how many years impact drivers have been available, but I used my first last year on a Rebuilding Together project where the lead contractor had one. When I think of all the buggered screw heads I have created with my big, high torque drill, I almost weep. The impact driver does the job without fuss, never messes up even stainless steel screw heads (ss is softer than "regular" screws), is light weight, and in general is a joy to use. The 1/2" drill and flashlight were just a bonus for $40. Get one, you won't regret it.

Good Drill Battery life short
Makita LCT300W 18V Compact Lithium-Ion 3PC Cordless Combo I am happy with drills and light. Battery life is short but they are light and charge quickly. Have had about 4 months and working well.

This product ROCKS!
I purchased a month ago instead of replacing batteries on an 8yr old porter cable 14.4V, first I am a professional user...General Contractor for more than ten years. Both in kit are lighter and more powerful than previous PC unit, light is ok..its bright but head seems a bit floppy. Time will tell if it will hold up to rough use, impact kicks A**! I can drive nearly 49 3" spline drive const. screws on single charge. It also takes the larger batteries and will drive about 90 screws. First impact I have owned and definitely the way to drive screws, less operator fatigue and less wear on bits. Batt's charge fast, bag is kinda waste it looks like a lunch bag with no x-tra room. Only wish I would have bought the kit with the radio...that's next on my list. Price was great Amazon delivered price $270 it was best going at the time...today is lower...tomorrow maybe higher? prices keep changing. Great value!
