Nice set of tools! Youll never need to buy anything again.My dad and I (mostly me) are working on reflooring his deck. I'll start a thread when I finish.

it's neat...but 19.2 is a really bulky battery.the cordless trim router is goofy and kind've impratical. when they make these with Lithium Ion...I'll consider.
"Now you may ask if I regret it, if I would do it differently if I could, if I would take it back. NOT A CHANCE!!!!! I went for it. I put it all on the line. I always will. I knew what the consequences would be if I failed, and I was willing to accept them. So any of you reading who might be feeling a twinge of sympathy, don't. I made my decisions, and I accept the consequences. I'm no victim. And to those who are thinking about preaching at me, don't bother. I won't hear you. I haven't accomplished anything in this life worth remembering by playing it safe. That's boring to me anyway." – Evan Tanner, 2007

That cordless circular saw is awesome for small duties/projects. That's what I use (used since it got stolen  ) for my speaker projects. For large projects dad and I use his 2.4hp circular saw. We used it on his deck which consisted of hundreds of 2x4's, 14 4x4 posts, 14 6x6 posts and many 2x10's and some more 6x6 beams that all had to be cut. A cordless would have never made it. Anything short of having to cut 6x6's in half and that 19.2v cordless should work fine.

agreed.anything battery powered however isn't gonna do it for a large number of cuts or something that's gonna make use of all the cutting surface. the cordless saws can be handy as all get out in certain instances though. one of my favorite saws is a good 12 inch blade miter. and big *** table saw. combine those with a jig and wide assortment of blade styles and there's few jobs you can't tackle.

can't say I'm a fan of Rigid...they drills tend to break.have awesome power...but just don't stand up as well. Milwaulkee's are the same way. as of right now...Makita and Bosch make pretty good cordless guns.

Makita makes some pretty durable guns. I would assume the rest of their products would be just as good.

The problem I have with makita is that they don't have the raw power of dewault/milwaukee/ridgid

Milwaulkee's power has gone downhill.Rigid is probably the best with a NiCad battery. right now Li-Ion are the way to go if you need man torque. Bosch makes some really good ones. One of my favorites is the cordless screwdriver with a multiposition head on it. or the little compact driver. Both have killer torque and apply lowspeed at first to make it easier to start a screw then really lay on the power.

I have the hammer drill/driver, and so far it's held up pretty well. Probably the best part is the grip: it just fits well in the hand. However the Dewalt hammer/driver is better ballanced, smaller, and a nicer chuck(you don't need two hands to fully tigten a Dewalt). Milwalkee batteries (in my experiance) are junk, very hard to revive after deep discharge. For things like a circular saw I'll stick to the $40 home depot special. My dad has a black 'n decker cordless and the blade isn't even big enough to cut through a 2x4. The flashlight is just retarded...

PS - on the other hand there are some really nifty corless devices up there I've never seen, like the tire inflator. That'd be great for the track.

I like Bosche's Jobsite Radio. I got to sling one across the shop at a demonstration a tool vendor did.it only got a few scuffs...but I think I could do worse if left alone with it.

Craftsman is the same. and check the websites for RECALLS on tools. I used to work at a hardware store and the manager would post recall letters all the time, but nobody gave a crap.

Maybe I'm being too critical, but those tools like they are entirely plastic. I can be very unforgiving with my tools, and I just dont think they could hold up. I know I could probably just go to Sears every time one breaks and get a new one for free, but thats a hassle. I would rather spend more on something that will never break.

That's why I chose ridgid. The durability and power of Dewalt with a lifetime warranty!

I might buy the drill/impact driver kitthe battery does seem cheap compared to the Dewault units I typically use... Dewalts are tough man, besides Hilti dewalt is king IMHO...... hilti's are usually 100+bucks more then the competitive Dewalt tho.. which is expensive by itself I think the impact driver kit goes for over 200...... also check out the Craftsman Professional, I think they use lithium ION, but its over 200 bucks for the setup 80 for gun, 80 for a battery, 40 charger, then bits etc... I hope the craftsman is strong enough for my relentless daily driving of tapcons

Ours are holding up nicely. My dad hasn't used his drill very much, and I have my own, but I have used the crap out of the sawzall and jiggy, both run like champs through various metals and woods.

This thread motivated me to go to sears and pick one of these up.
I've needed a drill for awhile the chuck on my old one crapped out. So i got the drill + right angle drill combo, and threw in the fluorescent light for kicks.Drill seems decent, haven't had a chance to really screw (<-- pun.. hehe) with it yet.
The lights cool though, very bright and great for tossing outside when i need light and don't want to drag a cord around. best part is... i know the owners of my local sears pretty well, so they fanagled some promotion/discount stuff and I got a nice cut on the price. 
Just checked the sears site. If you get one of the two drill combo sets you get a free work light!! Guess i'll go back tomorrow and pick up mine!

This drill is my favorite. Its a dewalt. Best thing about it is the balance on the handle. It allows you to push straight with it. Most drills on the market don't get you behind the true centerline on the drill. I never really appreciated it until I built a deck. The worst thing is the weight. Its a lot heavier than most drills.http://www.factoryauthorizedou...R.asp At $219.00 its not a bad price. Its a factory recon. I've owned a factory recon for 10 years, and no troubles at all.
