What is included in this kit?

The hammer drill, the hex impact driver, the M18 FUEL Hackzall, two 5.0Ah Redlithium XC batteries, a multi-voltage charger, a side handle and a case.

Does the drill handle concrete?

Yes. It has a hammer drill mode for brick, block and concrete, plus a clutch for driving screws.

How does the Hackzall compare with a Sawzall?

It is a one-handed recip saw with a shorter stroke, so it is handier overhead and in tight spots but slower on heavy demolition.

Will my other M18 batteries work in these tools?

Yes. All three tools run on the M18 battery platform, so any M18 pack fits.

Is this kit worth it over the two-tool combo alone?

If you cut pipe, conduit or branches, the added Hackzall covers a job the drill and driver cannot, so the three-tool kit is the more versatile buy.
