Customer ReviewsReviewed on 2008-05-21      Dewalt 18V tool combo. I bought this set a couple of years ago, and use all of the tools regularly. The first and foremost bit of advice is this: don't compare these to corded tools. This should go without saying, but to set realistic expectations, battery-operated tools simply can't perform at the level of (or for the duration of) their corded counterparts.
That being said, the kit does come with a quick charger (about 2 hours for a full charge) and a second battery, so you can tackle large jobs without long charging interruptions.
The drill gets used pretty much daily, and I've never had a problem with it. It's got plenty of power, and the clutch comes in handy when screwing into delicate items. It also has 2 speeds for greater versatility and control.
The circular saw slices its way through boards as swiftly and eagerly as my 120V Craftsman saw -- of course it won't tackle that many without changing the battery, but you knew that already...
The reciprocating saw is one of my favorites too. The fact that it is cordless makes it irreplaceable in certain circumstances. I've put aggressive blades on it, and pruned 3" branches off my maple trees. I've also chopped through some pretty thick stainless steel lag bolts with the hack saw blades. Hold on tight -- this thing has some torque to it!
Lastly, there is the flashlight. When I purchased this kit, I thought I would never use it. Strangely, I find that I use that thing more and more. It is very convenient, adequately bright, sits upright on its own base (which is the battery), and can wrap around pipes, etc. to accommodate odd-angle lighting.
The carrying case is pretty much your average run of the mill blow-mold plastic box, but it does make a great storage container. Overall, I gotta give this 5 stars; I would be mechanically helpless without this set. Well, maybe not, but I sure would miss it! |  | Reviewed on 2008-02-10      good tool set The tools in this kit are very good. We have used DeWalt tools for some time. |  | Reviewed on 2008-01-20      Fantastic Tool Kit My husband was so thrilled with this kit-he is such a tool nut and couldn't be happier with this kit. He's been showing everyone and can't wait to start using the tools for all of his projects. He has other Dewalt products, but these are just outstanding. |  | Reviewed on 2007-05-13      Excellent product at a bargain price I have always used DeWalt tools in the UK and find them to be the best portable tools on the market. So when I came to live in the USA one of the first items I bought was this Combo Kit and am highly satisfied. Also superb service from Amazon who I find to be more than competitive. |  | Reviewed on 2007-05-04      Great Toolkit! My wife recently got me this for my birthday (I know guys, what a score - a wife that buys you tools). I had only asked for the circular saw that's part of this kit, but she's heard me go on more than once about not having a hammer drill, so she killed 2 birds at once with this kit. I'd owned the DC759CA kit (1/2" drill + sawzall) for nearly a year, and definitely got great service out of it. By getting this kit rather than just the 2 pieces, she saved some pretty nice $$ right off..
Everything in the box works great. While I've not had occasion to whip out the reciprocating saw from this kit yet, it's got a couple of cool features my old saw didn't. First, the XRP batteries, so it lasts longer, second - you can mount the blade sideways, rather than just up & down. Neat.
The drill has sick amounts of torque and speed. It's great.
The circular saw - the tool that started it all.. Went right through 4x8 sheets of plywood & lattice like butter.
Haven't had reason (yet) to use the light, but it seems neat.
The only knock I can think of? I'd rather have a bag than the big molded plastic box.
So, what happened to the old tools? They've found their way over to the church for use on mission trips. Hey, they're almost new, why not? |  |
