Awesome Set [Posted on 2007-08-10]
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.
Dewalt 36v Combo [Posted on 2008-02-01]
I didn't purchase the 36v set from Amazon, but I do shop Amazon a lot. I was impressed with each and every one of the tools so much that I just felt compelled to write something. The drill has a tremendous amount of power, especially in the hammer/drill setting. Overheating is not a factor, as it is with smaller drills over a long duration run time. The torque of the drill allows it to perform exceptionally well with auger and spade bits. The drill is a little hard to handle on small projects because of the weight, but for everything else, it is the ideal tool to have. I was impressed the most with the circular saw. Most cordless saws that I have used in the past were not very good at all. This is the exception. Excellent power no matter whether you are ripping or crosscutting. I have cut everything from stringers, rafters, to 4x4 posts with no power loss between any of them. Good bevel capacity and the rip fence comes in handy. The reciprocating saw seems like it has more power with more strokes per second than the corded version. The batteries provide excellent power for a long duration. There's no fading of power, the power is continuous from start to finish. The battery charger has a clear indicator of status and my batteries usually charge fully in less than an hour. The only problem that I have had was with the light, which was not a big deal. The local factory service center has been very helpful. Overall, I am very impressed with the combo set as a whole. I would highly recommend the set to plumbers, electricians , and HVAC technicians because of the versatility of all the tools.
Absolutely Love This Kit!!!! [Posted on 2008-04-18]
I bought this kit about a year ago and it has never let me down. I do mostly Hvac work, installs, retrofits, things like that and this combo kit has made my life so much easier. My batteries last so long that I don't even carry the charger with me in my truck. I just leave it at home and charge them over night when I need to. They last very long compared to other ones that I have used. I usually find myself charging a battery once every week and I use them alot too. Just thought I'd share. No regrets.
To little too late dewalt! [Posted on 2008-04-18]
Be aware when buying these new packs that they do not offer any increase in run time over a standard ni-cd pack. Both are 2.4Ah which means they last the same amount of time, So dont be fooled by some people reviews of 75%-300% longer run times. The only advantage here is they are lighter than the old packs and have no memory affect. They should have bought these packs out when every other company bought theirs out 2 years ago. Also phosphate Lithium-ion is not the best cell type to be used in drills. It dont hold up to hard knocks very well so if you are prone to droping tools then be aware your cells in your pack may fail.
Great power, limited tool selection [Posted on 2008-06-10]
In my quest for power, I moved up from the Panasonic 18V kit to the Milwaukee 28V kit to (finally, for now) the DeWalt 36V kit. Of the 3, the DeWalt batteries seem to hold a charge the longest when not in use (for us non-contractor home project types who don't use their tools every other day). This feature is important to overall life of the batteries. The one downside to this system (as compared to the Milwaukee system) is the limited number of expansion tools. For example, Milwaukee offers an impact wrench, a 1/2 in angle drill, and some other tools not currently offered by DeWalt (or others) in cordless format. I hope that DeWalt decides to expand the range of tools that can use this wonderful power source - a sander would be nice, and even some yard care tools (such as a small chain saw for delimbing jobs, a hedge trimmer, lawn clippers, etc.).
