Yes indeedy....
I couldn't figger out the functional diff between the drill/driver and the impact driver I bought
The above HD Makita set ($99, 12V drill/drive+impact driver, charger, two batts, in a bullshit alum "camera case", like Aire Jordans) is cheaper than other stuff, and the power of the driver seems substantially less than the similarly sized Milwaukee drill driver (also 12V, also made in Chiner) that my buddy has, as we were able to do a side-by-side comparison.
And the makita battery doesn't last nearly as long. But, those small milwaukee batts are $70 all by themselves -- holy shit -- but seem to last forever. So actually, I couldn't say f'sure whether the raw power of the makita was less, or that the battery had just gotten comparitively weaker by that point -- but, which is sort of six-one/half-dozen, from a practical use pov.
Still, the Makita set is neat, useful, relatively cheap. Note that these drivers are much smaller than the big-battery style, but really handy, and did well on some substantial-sized projects. . Even the above reviewer comments on size/convenience. I'm almost done with my outside home-moaning projects (boucou fencing, gates, etc), but if I were to do it again, I'd buy like 3 sets of those makitas (6 drivers altogether), just to have the right driver bit, drill, etc always handy -- helpful in the heat of home-moaning battle and confusion.
Note that altho impact drivers always seem to be chuckless (that spring hex ditty), that drill/drivers also can be chuckless with that same spring/hex ditty. Fortunately the makita drill/driver was chucked, altho if you catch one of the HD demo videos on this makita set, the drill-driver is not chucked.... weird.... but this could be a different set, as I think they mentioned 10.8V, and this set is jalternately listed as "12 V" or "10.8-12 V max"..
Plus, these impact drivers *sound* really cool, seem to amp up home-moaning testosterone a bit.... which would proly be a really big plus for Trader4 et al.
