The tools are great [Posted on 2007-05-30]
The saw and hammer/drill are the normal Dewalt fine quality. Just a couple of minor complaints. First, the saw comes with just one blade, and it is very course. Second, included in the kit were two red plastic rectangles, about 1.5 x 7/8 inch, which look like they would cap something. I have no idea what they are for, and there is no mention of them in any of the literature. Third, speaking of said literature, the "manuals" are flimsy sheets of paper with tiny lettering and tiny pictures, printed in multiple languages. At this price level, you would expect something usable.
Great if you know how to use tools [Posted on 2007-08-02]
The caps are for the batteries... and just remember kids power tools are for grownup and improper use can result in injury or death. If you dont know how to use it dont touch it....
Smarter than the tools! [Posted on 2007-12-08]
First of all these tools are awesome, I use dewalt tools daily and have seen them take more than their share of unreasonable abuse. The batteries tucker out after a while but that's to be expected, some of the older ones in my shop are starting to show wear on the gears. But those are older models that have been severely beaten. Secondly I would like to review this genius's review, the square peg goes in the square hole! Maybe you didn't play that game when you were a kid. If you need an instruction manual for a drill, maybe you should start off by buying a helmet. People buy the reciprocating saw to cut different things, and when you buy quality tools, you aren't going to get a variety pack of goodies for it. Just like anything you are going to have to buy the accesories seperately, or maybe they should start selling these with a pair of jeans and a tennis raquet?
Almost perfect [Posted on 2008-07-13]
The Hammerdrill is very fast when drilling into concrete as compared to a the 18volt Panasonic or Hitachi. The drill has alot of torque for a cordless, which is great for drilling but horrible for putting screws into delicate projects, such as cabinets,and other furniture. The drill has better balance than the V28's (which I also considered buying) and a better bit holder (the bits are enclosed and cannot snag on stuff). This drill is also very durable, it has fallen of the tops of ladders and a house on one occasion. The Sawzall has good power for cordless, however less than the V28 that I tried, but it makes up for it with the 4 position blade clamp which is really a nice feature (main reason I got the sawzall). However the mail reason that I bought this tool set is because of DeWALT's extensive cordless tool line (more than 50 tools). The XRP batteries are old and heavy as opposed to the newer Lithiums, but atleast they are cheaper. The box itself is ok (when I got mine the hingle was bent, but I fixed it in a couple minutes). The only bad thing about this kit is that the clutch/selector has locked up on my drill, but this is probably because I hit a really big nail with an auger bit. Overall a great buy, I would Highly recommend this to any pro or serious DIYer
