to me you should be able to comment on the quality of construction,
battery charging time, power and weight. So spill!

Quality is good. The more I use the tools the more I'll be able to
judge the quality.

Haven't charged the batteries yet. The partial charge they had when I
bought them was enough to do a little work so far.

Power is good. I really like having an impact driver.

Weight is indeed as they say, "18V power with 12V weight."

Bit storage on all cordless tools is silly. There are so many
different bits that you need, that it's an illusionary benefit.

True, but it's nice to have that double ended phillips/slotted bit
there when you need it.

I use a ratchet screwdriver. If I don't need the power and weight, I
don't carry it.

That's why I like the impact driver. Less than 3.5 pounds!
