Great Case, Very Handy [Posted on 2004-10-20]
I bought this with a Dewalt hammer drill. I'm a modestly serious DIY-er and have not used all the pieces of the kit yet, and may never do so.
The case is extremely useful. It has two locking covers to keep things from falling out, so one is not looking for fifteen bits after an accidental upset. TIP: open it on the floor so you can't spill it. You'll only ignore this advice once...
It took me a while to get used to the latches on the case, but that's a trivial inconvenience compared to spilling and losing a lot of bits IMHO.
The only real drawback I see to the case is that the compartments are a little short, and there's not room to put a large drill bit set in this. However, you'll probably want to keep those in the original container anyway.
The bits are a useful assortment. I have not noted any obvious problems with the bits yet. The quality may have improved since the 2002 review. I don't plan on doing a lot of nut driving with this, as I have an impact wrench for that application. And I have not used the drill bits for anything but soft pine and aluminium yet, but they seem OK for that.
So, very convenient packaging, good bit assortment, OK for my use so far. Recommended.
Cute, but questionable quality. [Posted on 2005-07-28]
The bits are lubricated, making me believe they will get rusty with use.
Believe it or not, the set is made of 30 pieces, but 9 of them are the same #2 Philips bit. Why? Maybe because the dubious quality.
The hex base of the drils are poorly finished.
The box is great although the quick loader chuck doesn't fit inside it. Maybe the best part of this Set.
great value [Posted on 2005-08-09]
this set offers many of the bits that u need for the around the house tasks, probably wouldnt suit the contracter, but for the handyman it is great.
Good Set, Lame Case [Posted on 2006-02-14]
Ok, items in the set are a good to have around the shop and working around the house. However, I was quite miffed when the set arrived and I couldn't fit the Rapid Load chuck into the case the comes with the kit. Dewalt seems to have missed the KISS boat when it came to this product. Why doesn't the integral piece of gear(Rapid Load chuck) fit into the kit? I guess the engineers designed this one early on a Monday morning!
Good value for a starter set [Posted on 2007-05-07]
I think the Dewalt rapid load drill attachment is the best around. I have, in the past, purchased separately the yellow box in the set for organizing drill, masonry, and screwdriver bits. So this set was perfect as a starter set for my carpenter's drill bag.
