Description of DEWALT DC5KITVD 18-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless 5-Tool Combo Kit
Power, power and more power! The 18-volt 1/2-inch hammer drill/driver's high-torque motor churns out an impressive 500 inch-pounds of torque?imagine the jobs it could tackle. We were surprised by how good it feels in hand, thanks, we think, to its neatly balanced design that places the handle toward the center of the tool. A nice touch is the ratcheting chuck with carbide jaws for a superb hold on your bit. And the all-metal, three-speed transmission is so innovative that DeWalt patented it. All we know is that this is one powerhouse of a hammer drill/driver, no matter what mode it's in. The DC385 recip saw's keyless blade clamp wins points in our book for fast blade changes. And talk about fast?with its one-inch stroke length, it runs at 2,900 strokes per minute. Like the drill, it's well balanced and feels good in hand. It's compact, lightweight and offers great cutline visibility through the pivoting shoe's open top. Plus, we like that the blade will reverse for flush and plunge cutting. The circular saw slices into 2x4s like butter, and you can always see your cut because the blade's on the left. Bevel cuts are no sweat; the saw's easy to adjust and the scale's clear. The 18-volt cordless jigsaw was the industry's first, combining a three-position orbital blade action, 0-2000 strokes per minute variable speed and a one-inch stroke length. Like the recip saw, blade changes are keyless, fast and easy, whether you're loading universal or T-shank blades. We like how the keyless shoe slides backwards and forwards for maximum blade clearance on flush cuts in tight spaces. Hats off to DeWalt for the integrated sawdust blower, too. Finally, the flashlight's neck is super flexible, shedding light in just about any direction for up to three hours. This is a great collection of tools, essential for the contractor and perfect for the skilled do-it-yourselfer.--Kris Jensen-Van HesteTools and Hardware Reviews of DEWALT DC5KITVD 18-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless 5-Tool Combo Kit
Customer Review: im happy i bought it, but get the four pack instead
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had this set for nearly four years now.
As a collection, it's great because you dont need different sets of batteries or chargers.
but its really about the separate tools
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
i have an 80 dollar corded dewalt jig saw that is 10 times the saw that the cordless version is.
