I had originally bought a much more expensive combo kit made by a different company. After realizing that it overshot my demands, i returned it and got this more 'sensible' drill and light kit. Upon opening the Hitachi kit, i could immediately see the differences. The drill itself feels good in the hand, it has a good weight, but the batteries feel cheaper. The flashlight feels MUCH cheaper- clearly an afterthought. And the charger also seems cheaper: there is only one LED and it just goes off when the unit is done charging the batter. Also, unlike the more expensive "brand X" the batteries can't just sit on the charger forever, you have to remember to take these batteries off otherwise you risk damaging the batteries. Finally, there is no power indicator, so you're left to guess work as to how close you are to the end of the battery life.
In all this was a fair trade off for me. If I eventually grow into some sort of super-DIY-er, then I'll make the upgrade to much more expensive tools. Until then, I'll make do with a reasonable product at a good price.
