 Awesome power, but not for everyone. July 4, 2006

This paragraph is background info, you may skip it to get right to my review. To put my review into perspective: I am a student, not a pro. I have built a couple of decks, completed a room renovation, and numerous smaller tasks. That said, I first got interested in do-it-yourself work four years ago while working in a bar my junior year. I was advised by the bar manager (and handyman) to invest in good tools if I want to learn how to build/fix basic things. On his recommendation I bought the Dewalt 18v 4-tool cordless combo kit. This kit is great but there are a couple of negatives: It is hard to use larger diameter hole saws to drill into wood; The circular saw is underpowered and the 6.5 inch blade preventes the use of the variety of blades available in the standard 7 and 7.25 size; NiCad batteries have relatively short lifespan, charge capacity, and have trailing performance as the charge decreases. In other words, you need a corded circular saw and possibly a corded drill depending on the job. When I saw the new 36v kit, I asked myself if I really needed it. I decided that I could get rid of some of my corded tools (and my 18v kit) if this 36 volt kit lived up to it's potential.

Circular Saw:
My favorite part of this combo kit. Weighs a bit more than the 18v, but it's still pretty light. In any case, I like a circular saw to have some weight since it makes it easier to guide. Powerful enough to cut a brick (I used a thin kerf Dewalt diamond blade), it cuts through lumber with ease. Best of all, the saw accepts standard 7.25 inch blades. This gives the user access to the blades not available to users of standard cordless 6.5 inch circular saws. Also, the base plate is pretty good and some users may like the blade positioned on the left.... Read more ›

Worth The Money July 27, 2006

Ok, so almost everyone who commented had a rave review. I will not rehash the positives here. Everyone has pretty much explained them already. I had these tools for over a month now and used them every day, so I will just express some thoughts.

Drill; Everything you would expect from a cordless hammer except for the relentless power. First thing I did was chuck a 2 9/16 bit and start blasting holes through some PT 2x8. Amazing! Best feature is the chuck. It is so easy to chuck and unchuck a bit without having to wrench it with your hands. Worst feature is the bit storage. I wish they would go back to the old bit storage on the body of the motor housing and store two bits on either side and streamline with the tool.
Now I would like to see a full size 36v right angle.

Circular saw; Without a doubt is what I have been waiting for for a long time. Obviously it could cut wood, but I decided to stick a diamond in it and start hacking away at a brick wall. Wow! No problem. Best feature is the tooless blade clamp they got from PC. Hell, if it were me, I would have bought out PC just for that nifty little device alone. Even though this tool was the "buy it" factor for me, I do have some disappointments. 1. Saws of this size should not have a top oriented handle. A handle that gives you more push from the rear of the tool allows for more control and comfort of the wrist. This is very evident when you do shallow depth cuts. Top handle may be ok for the 18v (6 1/2") and under tools, but a full size saw should feel like a full size saw in the hand. A handle with more rise in it like the 24v version would be better. Would be cool if it had some kind of a hook on it too like the framer.

Awesome Set August 10, 2007
Color Name:NA
I bought the referb set on sale for $400. Excellent tools. Circ saw takes a normal size blade which is nice. I'm going to have to say the case dosen't give me a problem like some other people. It is marked what tool goes where and closes on the first or second try. I'm glad I have a case where the tools don't bounce around. If you need power and a long run time for your tools, this is the set to get. I have the L-ion Makita set as well, which is a little lighter and has led lights for dark areas. I'd recommend either set.
