Got to Love It!      I'm the original TOOL GUY (way before Tim Allen and Binford), and I know tools! I own and use enough woodworking tools to make most woodworking shops envious. Although I have not had a chance to use this tool on a real project my initial impression is it `s a "WINNER". The drill/driver is well made and has impressive power (torque). The integral light is a great idea. Many times I have to hold a flashlight in on hand and drill with the other, never again. The carrying bag also deserves a high score. My former Ni-Cad powered drill/driver came in a plastic case that took up too much valuable storage space. The bag storage is compact and well made. I will add to this review when I get an opportunity to use it on my next project >>> Stay Tuned!
Awesome power, great quality      This is a quality set. I am very happy with the features,quality, power and value this provides. The drill can be a little loud, but it is one the strongest in it's class. You'll be happy, just wait for a deal to come around on it.
"My experience"      I am a pro carpenter working in commercial construction. I bought this combo kit last winter the day before I started "punch list duty" that lasted two months. I found this kit to perfect for running around a fifty unit apartment building looking for leaky pipes. The drill/sawzall/worklight combination is perfect for cutting a hole in the drywall, shining a nice bright flourescent light inside the wall while yelling at the plumber for forgetting to solder a 2" water pipe.
I love the lithium Ion battery packs. One battery lasts a full day under rough use. The drill has plenty of power and the hammerdrill function saves me from having to drag a 100' cord everywhere I go.
The are complaints, of course. I was working on a 6 foot scaffold and accidently knocked the drill off of the work platform. When the drill fell on the concrete floor it broke both plastic tabs that hold the battery in. My bosch drill would've survived that fall without a scratch.
The Sawzall is pretty basic. Don't expect to use it as your main tool. I usually break out the milwaukee(w/cord) for heavy duty jobs. The cordless version is great for quick tasks only.
Overall, I am pretty pleased with my purchase even though it looks like a basketball sneaker. I plan on buying the 18 volt Li-ion Impact driver to complete the set.
A Homeowner's Perspective      I gave up on cordless drills over 5 years ago. I was absolutely sick of the one, maybe two, useful hours per charge from NiCad batteries and the fact that the power they provide degrades through the use of the charge, rendering the tools useless for anything other than very small jobs where a power source is not handy.
I've owned this set for about a year now. I was very reluctant to invest again in cordless tools, but with some major home renovation projects ahead and after reading about the power, endurance, and reliability of Lithium rechargables, I settled on this set at the recommendation of Consumer Reports.
I am extremely impressed with this technology. It takes several hours of hard use to wear these batteries down. There doesn't seem to be much, if any, degredation in power through the charge. However, there are warning signs of low power in that the tools will bind the last few uses--totally acceptable. The recharge time is only a few hours and the batteries are easily interchanged between the tools, making it such that you'll have zero down time if rotating between the two included battery packs. (Though you may want to get an extra if you plan on using the light in conjunction for bigger jobs, or if sharing the tools with a partner on the job.)
The drill and saws-all have served me well. 18 volts is more than adequate for most home jobs, but it is worth every penny. The drill cuts through 4x4's with ease, bores concrete with little effort. Yet it has a wide range of easily changable settings, the best of which being the trigger-controlled variable speed, making it also useful for jobs as simple as light electrical work and picture hanging. It does have amazing torque--it's counter-balanced so it doesn't destroy your wrist and there are variable torque settings. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the extremely noisy hammer function is only on during the highest torque settings, furthering the drill's versatility. And the saws-all? I can't believe how I got this far through life without it.
I would have given this set a 5-star rating had it not been for the durability of the drill. Granted, it is the most durable I have ever owned, however, after using it at the hammer setting when firring-out a basement wall over a period of several hours (about 50 bores), it somehow locked itself on the hammer setting and I can no longer turn it down. It sounds like some bearings popped loose in the torque selector. Again, it has served me well and I am happily purchasing another.
pleased with product      Happy with the product it was just what I had hoped when I had received it. I still consider this product after having put it through the rigors of use to continue to be a quality product.
