DeWalt 5
Pack Set
-  
Model: |
This set
consists of five 18V cordless tools and 2
chargers in a hard plastic carrying case. The
tools included are a hammerdrill/drill, jigsaw,
reciprocating saw, sawsall, and flashlight. I
paid about $750 for the set.
The quality of DeWalt tools is excellent, and
the convenience of the carrying case is great.
When you have a job that is away from home, they
are easily transported, and at home they are
conveniently stored in the case. I find the
power packs to hold a charge well, and each
battery takes about 1 hour to charge. The power
of the cordless tools is comparable to plug in
tools.
Cordless drill/hammerdrill: The power of the
drill is more than adequate. This model has a
hammer feature, and I have found that sometimes
when you have it on hammer and go to drill, it
stays locked on hammer for a while. You have to
tap it a few times and it will go to drill. The
bits are easy to change.
Sawsall: I love this sawsall. The blade system
works perfectly and allows you to get into tight
spots.
Jigsaw: This is the only cordless product I
would not buy again. This saw is equipped with a
new device that locks in the blades instead of
the old method of screwing them in. The blade
locking system is frustrating to use. It just
doesn’t lock in place as easily or quickly as
they say. I personally liked the old screw in
system, although once the lock system is in
place, it works well. Another thing I don’t like
about this saw is that the blades aren’t
interchangeable with other brands of blades so
you must buy the DeWalt brand. DeWalt does have
an electric jigsaw with the old screw in blade
system available.
Reciprocating Saw: This saw comes with a 6 ½”
blade which is much more efficient than older
saws with a 5 ½” blade. The larger blade allows
you to cut through rough lumber much easier. It
can rip through 2x4s at a 45 degree angle in one
pass. This saw is small and very easy to use,
and still maintains power.
Flashlight: Good power and adequate light. |
