Perfect Kit for any carpenter [Posted on 2003-11-16]
I am a full time cabinet installer. I use the skill saw for scribing countertops and the cabinets. I use the drill for everything anyone who installs cabinets know how much drills are used. I had the Ryobi kit which had problems after a few weeks of use. The drill never and i mean never has a problem with bits coming loose in the chuck. I got the kit with the jigsaw also which is another awesome tool that i use for everything. In a magazine i was reading Bosch finished second only to panasonic for cordless drills. I don't know about panasonic but i don't know what i ever did with out my tool set.
Fantasic Tools! [Posted on 2004-01-23]
I have the 18 volt Bosch set that also included the Jig saw and the hammer drill. I can't seem to find that set in the tool listing, but its in the catalog Amazon sends me. I couldn't be more pleased with these tools. All of the tools had plenty of power and features such as quick release blades and vacuum port on the circ saw. Also, the blade for the circ saw is a standard size, unlike the Porter Cable saw I had before. I returned a porter cable set and bought these. Bosch's tools are quite superior than other rechargables I have used. One feature I like is the bag. Other tool sets have large and heavy plastic boxes which are so tight you can hardly get the things back in there and the lid closed. My Bosch set came with a contractor's bag which is much easlier to carry in a house without bunping the walls. Additionally, the bag will hold additional accessories unlike some cases I have used. The only weakness is the charger. I would like a charger that indicates battery condition, charge status, etc. Bosch's 1 hour charger has only one light and only tells you if its charging or not.
Spectacular Buy!!! [Posted on 2004-03-17]
I purchased this kit with the bonus jigsaw which made this an even more incredible value. I work construction/remodeling with about 10 other guys and this is by far the most used and abused tool kit on any job we do. I wouldn't be surprised to see a few more show up on site after the compliments I've received. I would recommend an extra battery (if you can find one). Every tool performs flawlessly and up to the Bosch standard.
Major tool gloat. [Posted on 2004-11-06]
I scored the 18v. set (CircSaw, JigSaw, RecipSaw, Hammer drill, Hand Planer, Flashlight, 2 batts and standard 1-hour charger...$515) and feel extremely fortunate to have done so. (I notice there's no such deal available now, so I'm guessing the weak GOP dollar is digging in.) Haven't used the planer much, but everything else works dandy. The jigsaw in particular, is a fabulous tool. That's a healthy pile of tools for $515, and they threw in a very nice tool bag that holds everything!
My ONLY complaint is the circular saw can seem just a wee bit underpowered cutting 3/4" ply, so if you're buying one piece at a time, that would get my 24v. recommendation. Everything else has power to spare for my dinkin' around purposes.
As an added bonus, Bosch had a free rebate for their fast charger last winter (1-'04), 15 minutes from total exhaustion to full charge. I was a little worried that it might stress the batteries, but it seems to work perfectly. There's no extra heat or anything. Put it all together, it's an exceedingly slick set-up. Very happy customer.
