I have been using the Dewalt 20v impact driver for about 3 years now. It is a fantastic tool with plenty of torque to do lags, bolts, screws etc. The highest its been dropped by accident was about 12' and that was 2 years ago. You cannot go wrong by choosing it if its in your budget.

If the tools work fine, replacement batteries could rejuvenate them depending upon your budget, needs or desire for newer tools. Unfortunately DEWALT made a design change on their new 20V battery packs and will not fit your older set. BUY either an older style impact driver kit with 2 lithium batteries+charger which will also power the recip/circ saw or invest into the 20V system and sell off the rest of the old style tools
