Summary: Good, but not great battery life
Comment: The battery capacity seem poor compared to my previous Panasonic 15 volt drill. The fast recharge is the only saving grace, but that means I don't really have a spare battery to play the radio. There is good and bad on the light weight drills and that is because the battery is so light, it isn't a very stable base to keep the drill upright when the drill is set down. It is easy to tip over and drop from where it is set down. I plan to spend the extra money to buy the larger capacity, heavier lithium battery to address both my complaints. With the larger battery, this will still be a light drill.
One last thing, because the drill is so compact, there isn't really very much space for gripping the drill when using two hands to apply pressure to push the drill/driver onto it's bit. The second hand often hits the drill chuck while the primary hand uses the grip.

Summary: A great value!
Comment: What a great value!
Drill - powerful but light
Impact Wrench - Stands up to STEADY HEAVY use!
Charger - 15 min charge - great for impatient people!
Radio - WOW! It sounds great (lots of base) and operates more than the 8 hrs advertised!
Light - Very bright - haven't used it much yet.

Summary: Worth every penny!
Comment: I needed a new portable drill. I wasn't sure about the radio. However, I took a chance on this package. Everything works great. The radio is fantastic. The drills both have more power and torque than I expected. The batteries are so light, you do not even know they are there. I would suggest that you buy an extra 2-pack of batteries- if you do not already have them. You may want to use all of these tools, at the same time. By the way- I had a minor problem with my shipment. Amazon.com made it right-fast. Their customer service continues to impress me!

Summary: great combo
Comment: With the balance , power , lightweight, 15 min recharge and new lithium 2.8x life I think this is a great purchase. I have other Makita drills and while their nicads batteries are superior to Ryobi's,(whatisn't?:) this new lithium technology seems just the ticket.Long shelf life and 280% longevity. Even the radio is fantastic though you still need the charger. After deliberating ,I chose the 1.5 battery especially for light weight portability over the 3.0. I figure I can allways buy another battery if I need extended service and the 15 min recycle vs 1/2 hour being another strength for me . Try them , you'll love 'em.

Summary: Cannot Go Wrong
Comment: I picked this set up to replace my 9.6V Makita and 12 Volt Milwaukee. My 9.6V have lasted over a decade, still have older batteries that take charges. My Milwaukee the batteries lasted just about 2 years. I needed more power as I have a big project coming up in building a deck. I had read many magazine and online reviews and had it narrowed down to this set and a Rigid Lithium ion. One concern I had about the rigid was the fact that there seemed to be a problem with their batteries and people were having trouble with the "Lifetime warranty on them". The other item I did not like is that the balance on the rigid especially with the larger battery was awkward to me. When I tried the Makita it feels much better.
So I did some testing with it, the Drill is powerful enough to run a 1" drum sander with no slowing down or clutch stall. I used it to drill 1/2" holes in Maple, No Issue, my 9.6 clutch would have stalled several times. I have driven multiple screws no problem.
I ended up getting the LCT400W, the radio sounds awesome, I was surprised with the sound on it, has MP3/Aux input, DC. It does run on other batteries, which probably makes more sense that using a LI on it. I have not tried the Impact driver but will do so when I start fastening deck boards.
Overall it is pricey, wish it had 3 batteries, but the quick charger does a great job, in 15 minutes they are charged.
