Both still work fine. The light is A+ good, even after being abused by my 1 and 3 year old. I have a 14.4v Hitachi drill/light combo that is going on 4 years old now. Both still work fine.

That comment was about two decent Hitachi deals @ amazon but they're sold out already at the "Friday sale" price.

I am skeptical about the flashlight, to me I would go for the drill without the combo, unless the pricing wasn't there. Seems like a good deal, especially for an 18v version.

I think the price was $99 there when I last saw it. I always wonder how good it was. I have a Dewalt DW759KA compact 18V as my "everyday" drill. I really needed a hammer drill, and ended up getting that GMC A2G at Amazon that was on sale for 37 bucks shipped. It's okay but I still need a real hammer drill.

A few days ago they had this combo going for much lower - it was their "deal of the day". I put an order in for it and then drove to Sears to return the 19.2V combo kit I bought two months ago (I wasn't 100% satisfied with it anyways). I came back and started to fill out the submit a tool form, but all of the Hitachi's were sold out by about noon. Around the net, people said that they picked this up for $62 or so last spring, so it might be reduced to a good deal in the future. Amazon's other drill deals seem pretty good, but most of them are aimed at contractor/professional budgets. http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/1006/otherdaydealho3.jpg At $100, it's still a good deal, but $70 was better.
