justin22 Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 I'm planing on buying a drill, impact driver set, not sure what to get.also not sure if i want a full sized set or a compact set. The main thing is the price...I would like it to be under $150(or cheaper). For $100 on amazon there is the hitachi compact 12v set, and at menards the bosch 18v set is on sale for $140. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin22 Posted May 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 Oh, and my uncle has the hitachi set, and i have used it so i know i like it, but the bosch 18v set is convincing for $140 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 Never used hitachi cordless but Bosch makes some great tough tools Jimbo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmikez Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 Not to familiar with hitachi and Bisch does make some really nice tools but if your considering a 12v line I would look into milwaukee m12 line they have almost everything to cover all your necessities 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruton Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 I only know one person with Hitachi tools, but he has their 18v. He seems to really like it and hasn't really had much issue with it. I personally am a fan of Bosch and don't think you would go wrong with anything they make. I'm not sure of the price but if you want compact and 12v you go with the Bosch. Have fun and good luck. It's a lot of fun when you are in the market for new tools and not tied to any brands. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james mims Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 the porter cable 20v max works very good the impact is amazing and they are on sale at lowes for 159.99 now the hitachi does feel pretty good when you pick them up but I still went with porter cable more tools to get later when I need them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruton Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Here you go, don't waste your time on that old red stuff! Just kidding about the Milwaukee though, they make good tools as well. We actually use quite a bit of the red stuff out at our farm. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwain Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 get the compact brushed 18V set from Milwaukee or Bosch. Or the Brushless compact set from Milwaukee, Dewalt or Bosch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwain Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 looks like none of those ^ are available for under $150 on amazon. BUT if you spend $169, you can get the brand new metal-chuck bosch drill, and be the envy of all your friends - http://www.amazon.com/Bosch-CLPK232A-181-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-Combo/dp/B01CQP9QC4/ref=sr_1_201?s=power-hand-tools&ie=UTF8&qid=1463971555&sr=1-201&keywords=drill+and+impact+driver 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwain Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 if you can't get a decent set within your price range, i reckon just buy a decent drill and worry about the driver later. quality over quantity is what I'm saying... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I was going to say Ryobi but their drill and impact kit comes with the old drill and impact driver which sucks. You have to jump into the big Ryobi kit to get the good versions which is out of your budget. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Ryobi-ONE-18-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Ultimate-Combo-Kit-6-Tool-P884/203466936 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For $19 more than your budget you can have a great 12v combo set. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M18-18-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-Drill-Driver-Impact-Driver-Combo-Kit-2-Tool-2691-22/100650378 $29 more than your budget this is an awesome 18v set. I get that all of these sets are slightly over your budget, but you will be buying a top notch tool with a 5 yr warranty and over the life of the tool that $19 or $29 is well worth it. Buying quality for a few extra bucks now is better than saving $20 and having a lesser tool. Bosch is a great brand, don't get me wrong, I am just a Milwaukee guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions? I have Bosch and makita. I have the impactor in that Bosch set. The drill I have is different though. They both have been great for me and I use my Bosch drill over my big makita hammer drill all the time. You will be happy with that set. I would steer clear of the Hitachi for now. I believe they are going to be releasing newer stuff in the future but their current stuff doesn't stack up to the other brands.

Bigmikez Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 I think amazon might still be running there $20 off if you spend over $100 for Bosch that will bring right about at 100bucks bro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
