Anyone have experience of these two bits of kit? Looks like a good deal
especially the impact driver - good for decking screws.

Yes, bought exactly that set (from Screwfix). Haven't really used the
drill but the impact driver is a wonderful piece of kit. For your
decking screws you'll wonder how you ever managed without one. For a 4"
inch screw into 4 x 2 it doesn't even slow down.

Be prepared though, you can use up the screw bits quicker than with a
normal driver. They tend to break rather than wear out. Go and buy a tub
of 25 pz2 and pz3 bits while you're out shopping ;-) Oh - and make sure
they're the longer bits (50mm I think) rather than the more common 25mm
bits which don't fit the impact driver.
