The tools seem to be very nice although I have not had a chance to use them a lot yet. Light is a bit of a waste but the drill, powered hand saw, jig saw and three batteries all piles into the super large case weigh a ton. It might be better to split the stuff up into 2 smaller cases.. plus the stuff seems to shift around in the case a bit. I am still waiting for the FREE tool I was supposed to receive from Dewalt on the mail order deal that was offered. If the extra fee tool comes then this was a great deal with free shipping.
im happy i bought it, but get the four pack instead

I've had this set for nearly four years now.
br /As a collection, it's great because you dont need different sets of batteries or chargers.
br /but its really about the separate tools
br /
br /1.The drill- the best cordless drill on the market. its perfectly balanced. powerful. sturdy. totally reliable. the hammer mode is great too. i love this tool.
br /
br /2.the flashlight- a very handy option. in deciding to buy this set, i didnt think i liked the flashlight much, but i use it a lot.
br /
br /3.trim saw- its great for those one or two cuts. has a nice balance and is pretty sturdy. depth adjustment is simple and easy. the bevel is a bit shakey, and not properly balance for accurancy. the guide is worthless. this saw eats up the battery very quickly. doesn't replace a corded. not even close.
br /
br /4.recipro saw- again, great for small projects. i use it a lot to cut steel and copper pipes. doesnt have much power, but if you need portability or a light weight recipro, its great. for me and my needs, this does replace a corded.
br /
br /5. jig saw. i hate this saw. it pisses me off when i see it in my tool crib. i really wanted to love it. i love curved cuts and intricate work. i thought i;d love the portability, but i realize i was just caught up in the cordeless craze. this tool fills no niche. get the four pack and avoid this tool. heres why: the chuck is keyless, sure, but its plastic and stripped out on me. the power is weak. the tool is improperly balanced for smooth cutting,. you need to pay more attention to holding it steady and flat than where the blade actually is. and, when do you ever need a cordless jigsaw? you don't. jig saw work is workbench work. buy a corded one.
br /i have an 80 dollar corded dewalt jig saw that is 10 times the saw that the cordless version is.
