He explains that he purchased the best available combo kits from a hardware store at that time to ensure a fair, real-world review. He then details the contents and initial purchase price of each kit: the Makita 18V LXT Brushless combo kit, which includes one impact driver, one drill/driver, and two 5Ah batteries, priced at approximately $420. The Bosch 18V Brushless combo kit includes one impact driver, one drill/driver, and two 2Ah batteries, priced at approximately $199.
