I bought this item because i needed two more 18v batteries and it is a better deal to get two tools with the batteries instead of buying the batteries separately, it works out to spending $50 and getting a second hammer drill and cut out tool. The hammer drill is great I now have two. it is a bit heavy so expect your wrist to give out after a long day. Also the drill has more kickback and recoil then it should. I'm a bit dissatisfied with the cut out tool, there is no variable speed control, and the tool is physically large so it not good for detailed work.
Very useful tools

I have used Dewalt 18V tools for years, but I was quite suprised at the usefulness of the cut out tool, it was invaluable on a recent project.
br /The hammer drill is second to none!
Amazon SUCKS!

The tools are great! The service from Amazon is by far the worst you will ever experience in YOUR LIFE!!! AMAZON STILL OWES ME OVER $500.00 and if I cannot get it back to my credit card I will have to sew the company!
