I'm trying to research this shite more and it isn't helping. Thinking I'm leaning towards the Milwaukee.....
Here's the question though... Do I need to get the 1/2" version? They all pretty much cost the same for the same styles. Basically $199 for the impact and the drill with 2 batteries.... The cheaper ones are $150ish, but they aren't 1/2" I think.

compare the torque power of that drill to the rigid genx5 combo set.

I'd go with the 1/2". I love my Milwaukees and Ive owned every major brand in the past. Dewalt used to be my favorite, but Ive broken a few less than a few weeks out of the box, in the last couple of years. Mostly problems with their impacts, not their drills.

Home depot runs specials on Milwaukees time to time. If you buy the impact/drill combo, they give you a free battery, that you can return and save like $100 on the ential purchase. Home Depot is totally cool with it.

Also, Dewalt 20v drills aren't really 20v. Put a meter on it if you don't believe me.
