2Half price kit = only half the tools work
By Mary Kennon
I just placed the never-used circular saw that comes with this kit in the trash. The reason? The saw requires a specialized spanner wrench to hold the drive assembly still while you loosen the retaining nut for initial blade install, and garden variety channel locks won't get the job done. The thing is fused together and as slippery as an eel. Apparently their higher end models come with the wrench, but you can't buy it separately.

That said, the drill and flashlight work about as well as expected.

4So far, so good......
By Fletch2015
This arrived FAST. Wow, I'm impressed. I am in Kuwait and some companies use APO addresses as an excuse not to ship, but not these folks! So far the tools have performed well. Batteries are easy to remove & replace (are you listening, Dewalt?).

My suggestions for small improvements to make it better value for $$:
* Only two 6-in reciprocating saw blades for wood included.
- Metal is cheap, so how about a full set of blades?
* Light bulb was the old incandescent type.
- LEDs are cheap, brighter, use less power, last longer and forgive being dropped on concrete.
* Circular saw blade was a bit difficult to install and instructions were unhelpful.
- How about hiring a native English speaker to write the instructions for the US market?
* Nylon carrying bag is good; the inside & outside pockets are convenient.
- Saw blades will eventually wear holes through the sides, so cheap plastic snap-on blade-protectors would be such a nice touch.
- Bag Color is black and gets dirty as soon as you use it. How about grey, tan or other neutral color?

More expensive improvements which may not be feasible for the price:
- 3 batteries instead of 2.
- A hammer-drill.
- Hard carrying case.
- Worldwide battery charger (plug into 100-240 volts).
- Dual battery charger (charge 2 units at once).

4Tool Heaven
By Cybermed Rick
For the occasional home user this set is well worth the money. Have had occasion to use all the tools and they are very convenient, plenty powerful, and the cary bag is great for storage and moving. If you are a pro, you may like more buzz, but the average Joe like me will enjoy these tools.
