Any Lithium Reciprocating Saw/Impact Driver Sets?
I'm looking for a lithium ion reciprocating saw and impact driver set. The driver should have a nose just like a ratchet not like a drill. Not looking to spend a ton. This would be cool except it includes a drill:Milwaukee M18 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Battery 2-Tool Combo Kit - 2694-22 at The Home Depot
Any ideas on who sells such a combo? I dont really want any of the combos with tons of other stuff in them. Just need these two. |

Why not just buy them separately?
I have a Ryobi impact, drill, baby circular saw, and recip saw. I bought them all separately. I like them, but Milwaukee didn't have any similar cordless stuff on the market when I started my collection. I stick to Ryobi so I don't have to mess with different batteries and chargers. I want to upgrade to the "super" lithium battery (I have a couple of the "standard" ones now) but the little fuchers are $80!

I like that idea actually. It seems like I can't buy them separately? Is that correct? I think Hitachi refurbished tools can be bought on eBay but are they any good?

I know they can be bought separately, but probably not at a HD/Lowes.
I hate those combo sets, too.

CASH-
Will the 12V lithium work for cutting steel or bolts using the reciprocating saw? Will the impact break loose bolts that are tightened by a hand ratchet? |

I've used the recip for cutting bolts, sheet steel, wood, and assorted other stuff.
One of the keys, IMO, is using a good quality blade. The driver I have mostly used for self-drilling screws into sheet metal, but I have also used it to remove small bolts (10-32) from gearboxes. Hope that helps!

I just saw today that Lowes sells the Dewalt 1/2 drive impact separately..I think it was $130 with no batteries or charger...300 ft pds torque...I bought one recently..I havn't found a lug it won't take off yet...The lithium batteries and charger are kinda expensive..Purchased mine from a pawn shop......
