I looked at Milwaukee, Bosch and Makita and after comparing them, this looks like a good set of drills to me.

these have LXT batteries which last longer as they are 3.0 a.h.

makita has a cheaper set but the drills are different, the drill is not a hammer drill option and also the batteries are 1.5 a.h. lithion ion not the LXT 3.0 version.

I missed a sale at Ace Tool on the 16th where they had a third battery free, also 5 sets available gone in 15 minutes for $289, now $329, good deal.

even at 329, seems like they will last a long time for me, only thing is they are heavy, maybe I could get a third battery in the 1.5 a.h. to save weight and have a backup.
