Don't waste your money... [Posted on 2004-12-08]
I bought the driver and saw kit and the hammer drill kit...new. In the first year I replaced the drill/drivers three times...while under warranty. The saw worked well and the flashlight was the best part of this kit. Now it is a couple years old and the batteries are dead and at $90 each I am not replacing them. I bought Hitachi this time with a five year warranty. I wasted $600 on the Porter Cable junk.
not for the casual user [Posted on 2005-05-23]
I have had a PC combination 19.2 V set for five years. It has given me excellent service, doing everything from screwing in wallboard and studs to driving a garden auger through hardened clay in my garden. It is not a set for the average homeowner. It is heavy, overly powerful and too expensive. The only negative with the set is the expensive battery. I have replaced 2 at $90 each. The portable circular saw is excellent for use in areas where electricity is not available. I used it to refurbish a barn that had no electric service. The drill stands upright on the battery - a very convenient feature. The flashlight is powerful and long lasting. The set is well designed with comfortable hand grips and space for two spare bits on the drill body.
Another user recommended an Hitachi. I have the model that he recommended. It is a good medium service drill. However, the PC is much more powerful. For the average homeowner a much less expensive 12V cordless would be sufficient. Use it. When it dies, throw it out and get a new one. I don't buy factory-reconditioned tools. Although they are less expensive, I find that I get better value with a new lesser model.
If it's broke, don't buy it..... [Posted on 2005-07-09]
I have this kit and have, like the other reviewers, been through multiple batteries. I also had my drill replaced while under warranty...it is probably on sale here! I would NOT buy Porter Cable cordless again, everytime I buy a new battery I feel like a junkie back for another fix. While it is good stuff when it works, that is just not a regular occasion.

Excellant power and reliability, it is a heavy drill. Most consumers do not need this much power, they will be better off purchasing a 12 or 14 volt. I have had my combo kit for a year and no problems at all. Great product!
what a deal!!! [Posted on 2006-11-05]
