I spouted about the impact a couple times in the Dewalt thread. But I have a couple more additions to the family and they work great.
So far the 1/2 impact has not let me down. Last big use was for a some 3/8x12 lags for the addition. The regular impacts couldn't handle the big one but killed all the other SDS-Timberlocks. Tried it on a few lugs too. No problems on both the burbs 14mm and the 1101 trailer lugs.
I have also fallen for the Senco Fusion trim nailer. Beside being great on trim and cordless just using the 18v battery (charged twice now). I use it to tack things up before screwing and it does great.

Besides all the standard tools, I picked up a vacuum and this palm sander during all the Christmas sales.
The vacuum is rated better than the Dewalt and I have not been disapointed at all. Hose is a little short is about all I can complain about. It has the smaller hose and only come with one attachment, but that does rugs and vehicles really good. With the 4ah battery I get a good 20-30 minutes from it.

Then I got this little palm sander and it is a beast. I like it better than my AC stuff and you don't drag the cord around. By using the 1.5ah battery it stays light.
Plus I have found a generic battery that is holding its own so far, just $27 on Ebay.
I am hoping for a good flood light, vs the junk flashlight included in the set.

Hmm, didn't know they made a cordless palm sander. That would be handy to have

Came out around in Dec, same with the vacuum.

Adding a little to this, the vacuum and nailer are working great. If I was to add another nailer I see Hitachi has a cordless framing nailer that works like the Senco.
The Hitachi is #NR1890 and is 18v lithium cordless like the senco, IE; no cartridge just battery. It is still $399 but they have 10% off right now at Lowes.
If I needed one I would go for it but I use screws for almost everything. Now figure someplace like the farm this would be great for! Reviews seem good;https://youtu.be/uRYrLlv_f68
