View largerHammer DrillThe 1/2-inch hammer drill’s high-power, high-efficiency motor delivers 535 unit watts out for superior performance in light and medium drilling applications. A 1/2-inch ratcheting chuck with carbide inserts provides superior bit-gripping strength—reducing slippage during high-torque applications—thus providing longer tool life. The hammer drill’s patented three-speed (0-600 RPM; 0-1,250 RPM; and 0-2,000 RPM), all-metal transmission allows users to select the appropriate speed for the job at hand and is up to 30 percent faster than current hammer drills on the market.Circular SawMeanwhile, the circular saw’s powerful motor (offering 460 max watts out) and ergonomic profile (with lightweight magnesium shoe and optimized handle design) are ideal for professionals tasked with framing, cross cutting, ripping, bevel cutting and plunge cutting. Delivering 3,700 RPM, this saw is 10 percent more powerful than previous DEWALT 6.5-inch cordless circular saws—and combined with its accompanying 3.0 Ah lithium-ion battery, it provides up to 57 percent more runtime compared with other leading 18-volt lithium-ion tools. Its bevel capacity of 0-50 degrees lends itself well to a variety of applications, and a 6.5-inch thin kerf carbide tooth blade provides users with the ability to cut completely through two-by framing lumber at a 45-degree bevel angle.Reciprocating SawThe reciprocating saw is compact and lightweight for access to tight areas (and it helps to reduce user fatigue). The keyless lever-action blade clamp makes for quick and easy blade changes, and the blade reverses for upside-down and flush cutting. Its 1-inch stroke length delivers 0-3,000 SPM for fast cutting. A variable-speed trigger with lock provides increased control, and an electric brake prevents blades from breaking with exiting plunge cuts.LED Work LightThe work light comes equipped with additional lumens (110 total) for brighter visibility, delivering bright white LED light that reduces shadows and helps differentiate between colors. (An added bonus: The LED bulb creates less heat than conventional Xenon bulbs.) Its pivoting head rotates 120 degrees with 11 detent positions for a wide range of visibility, and the integrated hanging hook allows for hands-free capability. Users can expect up to 11 hours of light output when paired with the 3.0 Ah 20-volt max lithium-ion battery.Endurance and Ease of UseDEWALT-designed electronics have been built into all of these tools’ switches to provide maximum life by helping to protect them from overheating, overloading, and deep discharge during use. The max 20-volt’s lithium-ion batteries provide up to 35 percent more runtime than existing 18-volt max lithium-ion battery technology, and the included Energy Star-qualified charger has dual voltage capabilities and it is compatible with both 12-volt max and 20-volt max DEWALT lithium-ion batteries. The tools’ slim handles fit easily into users’ hands, increasing the level of comfort during the course of long jobs, and the bright built-in LED work lights above the triggers have a 20-second delay that improves visibility in dimly lit spaces.About DEWALT's 20-Volt Max Lithium-Ion ToolsDEWALT’s line of 20-volt max lithium-ion tools features improvements in engineering and design to provide the performance, the ergonomics, and the innovation that contractors require.

DeWalt's 4-Pc Drill Set: A Critical Review.By Andre LawrenceWatch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3KT9C0JP51JQK We've had Craftsman Tools for as long as I remember. Dad's tool chest in our suburban New York garage had every conceivable hand tool in it. I can still remember the smell and the grime, a mixture of motor oil and gasoline, on those grungy, caked-on greasy tools.Here we are 30 years later, now I'm standing in his position. The only difference is, is that the tools are not a "man's domain" anymore. These tools are greatly updated and sophisticated. And, they're motorized. The DeWalt 4-piece drill set is the perfect example of how tools have changed and how very necessary they are to own.The set consists of:* 6 ½" Cordless Circular Saw and 6 ½" blade.* Cordless Reciprocating Saw.* Flashlight.** Cordless Drill. This drill, to my great surprise, is not a just a "hammerdrill" as in the product description but also a powerdrill and a screwdriver. And, you'd engage it by adjusting the head knob. So, it's essentially 3 tools encased in a single gun. Drill bits NOT included!* Battery charger and two 20-volt, rechargeable batteries. (The batteries come partially charged. * Grip.* Sturdy carrying bag. The tools are, expectedly, weighted. But, evenly. There's a textured rubber grip and the finish is also quite impressive.I had a small project that I had been putting off until I got fed up and used my small reciprocating drill to work on the grout in the guest bathroom. I wish I had this set to see how my older tools matched up.We live here in Florida, now and it seems that every few years a hurricane of various strength throws down a tree or two. This set will come in particularly handy sooner or later.But, if there's one bit of negative criticism I'd like to levy is that these tools SHOULD BE manufactured right here in the U.S. and not elsewhere, considering the price. Now, the price. Tools are not something you buy everyday. But then again, when you do buy tools, you expect them to last. We've had tools that didn't, and I can remember a hammer or two where the head of the hammer dislodged from the handle. That was no fun to see where it landed.It goes without saying that the tools produced by DeWalt are known for their durability. This set that I hold is no different. The question becomes, do you invest the money in a great set of tools? The key word being "invest." Because, that's what it is. It is my opinion that this set-- a set that I can personally vouch for--is worth the investment. If you buy this set, when your children reach your age, the way I'm now the age of my father when he used his Craftsman tools decades ago, they'll have these tools to use when they need them.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.Heavy Duty and PowerfulBy Glenn R. HowesAs a homeowner, I've long been content with a very nice collection of 18V cordless tools, Ryobi One+, which I would characterize as being great for most around the house projects, but not of professional quality. These Dewalt tools are in a different league in terms of being heavy duty and well constructed. If you go to Dewalt's online user forums, one of the phrases that struck me was someone describing the drill as "maybe too much drill for me." By this the writer meant that this is a drill for someone who needs to screw wood screws, and bore holes, and change bits constantly for a full days work and go home bone tired. It is not a drill you would choose if all you were going to do was hang picture frames. The same goes for all the tools, they are not lightweight, but they are well constructed and powerful. Apparently, previous editions of Dewalt 18V tools were heavier still, but I have no experience with Dewalt prior to this set. And, of course, heavy is not a synonym for sturdy; these tools are sturdy, and that's the important part.I should point out something I learned from online research, the 20-Volt MAX is a marketing term. These are basically 18V tools, the batteries are only 20V anode to cathode while not under load. It's one of those industry terms where one company starts calling their 18V tools 20V, and everyone else follows suit so as not to be disadvantaged. I think Dewalt is pretty much up front about this, and I think they regret this industry trend. The drill is the superstar of this pack. It's a combination hammer drill, drill, and screwdriver, includes a detachable handle, and is what they call the Premium version when sold separately. As an owner of a brick house, I appreciate the need for a hammer drill when I need to drill a hole into solid brick or mortar, frustratingly hard without a hammer drill, easy as pie with one (and the appropriate masonry bit). I am in awe at the build quality of the chuck on this drill, it looks like it should be on a high end drill press and not on a battery powered device; easy to grasp, steel exterior, and bits clamp into immobility with a satisfying series of clicks. The detachable handle comes off with a quick rotation. Operation is convenient with a thumb switch to reverse direction and a multitude of settings: 3 main modes, 3 gear levels and 22 torque levels. With the full battery, the tool is a bit heavy, and it is here homeowners might want to think if they actually need a set of heavy tools for their around the home projects. Not to be confused with the compact hammer drill.I had some left over 3/4" Brazilian cherry flooring which seemed like a good pick due to hardness for a quick race between my old drill and the Dewalt. My old drill worked fine, a 3/4" paddle bit went right through, maybe snagging just a bit, but the new drill just zipped through nearly effortlessly with the same bit. Talk about things that make you say "whoa", so I did it a few more times just for fun. The circular saw is, again, heavy duty for a cordless tool. Changing the blade is reasonably convenient, just locate the button to lock the spindle while loosening and tightening the blade. It could be easier, but once in place, the blade is solidly attached. Making straight cuts was easy enough, and the blade zips through pine, but lining up angled cuts takes a bit of guesswork and care. Again, my old circular saw, the Ryobi, went through my scrap Brazilian cherry surprisingly well, but the Dewalt was barely slowed. Of course, this was with a different blade, and in real use I'd have chosen a blade designed for a smoother, less splintery cut. Still impressive.The reciprocating saw is comfortable with rubberized handholds. Good to have given the vibrational beating one's hands take with long sessions of reciprocating. Saw blade attach easily enough, although not as quickly as with my Ryobi. I'm a big fan of using reciprocating saws with Milwaukee green blades for yard work involving quick tree pruning of green limbs. Regardless, be sure you purchase some reciprocating saw blades as this set doesn't have any. I took it and a green blade out to the backyard and had some fun lopping off 3 inch branches, and nearly laughing at how easy it was. (I love reciprocating saws.)And finally, the flashlight is nice. It is an LED, thankfully, and quite bright but not obnoxiously so. The beam is wide for an LED. The huge battery makes it a bit oddly balanced, but it also makes it stand by itself well, and it has a convenient twisting head with a ring to hang it as needed.The tool I miss from this pack is an impact driver, and it might be a better value to buy the somewhat more expensive 5 piece kit with an impact driver as the driver is quite expensive as a standalone purchase. Still, the separate impact driver does come with another charger and two half size batteries, and a half size battery would be valuable to have for lightweight projects or for leaving attached to the flashlight. The 20-V MAX ecosystem also includes a compact drill driver, a premium drill driver, a rotary drill, and a right angle drill. As far as I can tell, Dewalt is not packaging any of these as tool only, meaning you will have to buy additional batteries/chargers along with the additional tools, at considerable expense. I hope this changes. I wish Dewalt provided a more rigid case than the provided duffle, as it is I will probably buy a different tool bag. Also, the battery is not as easy as my Ryobi to use; the battery takes more conscience effort getting it in the charger and onto a tool, although it's easier to remove. And the Ryobi has little touches like a bracket to keep a screwdriver bit on the drill or a bubble level. I'm very impressed by this collection. So much so that when I needed a router over the weekend, I grabbed the Dewalt compact router with very little extra thought. So, highly recommended for those with big projects.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.Astounding set of toolsBy N. HawkinsI've used Dewalt kits borrowed by friends over the years, and they're fantastic. They're sturdy, last all day, and were great for home use. Now that I have my own set of tools, it's time to drill and saw. These are typical of the Dewalt tools I've used over the years. They feel indestructible. The hammer drill was amazing to use. It drove screws in effortlessly. In fact, it made so effortlessly I felt like I needed to find more screws. It rocked. In a way, it's more of a drill that I'll ever need. I honestly felt overwhelmed by it.The circular saw isn't meant for people like me who don't need a heavy set of tools. The blade chewed through 2x4's. And the blade was easy to install and remove - and it didn't feel like it was going to come out. Again, it's too much of a saw for casual or light use. Now, the reciprocating saw was by far my favorite. It felt solid in my hands and after use in my parents' back yard and garage, I didn't feel any numbness or tingling in my hands, which was my major worry. It's got a great grip and it made cutting effortless.The flashlight was pretty decent. It made a nice worklight. Not too bright, a good wide area. It stood on the ground and didn't move. The bag is the only seemingly "cheap" part of the kit. I'm worried about tools slamming against each other and possibly damaging the blades. It does have interior pockets to keep the charger and batteries separate. Overall, this is way overkill for an apartment dweller, but this is a great set of tools for homeowners. The set has inspired me to take on some home improvement projects. For the price, it's a great investment. Although I'd listen to reviewer Glenn Howes' advice and consider the DEWALT DCK555X 18-Volt XRP 5 Tool Combo Kit - Hammer/Recip/Circ. Saw/Impact/Light set if you need an impact driver.See all 3 customer reviews...
