My brother turned me on to these 18Volt Porter Cable power tools. They got a buy recommendation in CR magazine. You can spend a lot more money, but if you're working on projects around the house and don't need "contractor" level tools, then this is clearly the set for you. Actually, it may even be the set to buy if you are a contractor. You could buy two of these for one of other brands.I've used the drill, of course, and it works fine with adjustments for torque, keyless chuck, etc. It has the light which is helpful when you need it and illuminates your work area. Basic tool that will do all you need it to.The impact driver (which I purchased separately) is fantastic for putting in screws. I wasn't familiar with the impact driver tool until I tried this. Don't use your drill for this job. The impact driver works very, very well to put screws in. It has the higher torque and will drive the screw with one motion all the way to completely in. This tool is great. Save yourself some time and energy and get this impact driver.I've got the circular saw and it works fine as well. A basic tool to rip plywood or cut boards, and this one goes a long time on the EX battery. Only thing I had to pick up separately was a saw guide that slides into the saw and tightens with the set screw. This lets you use the edge to keep your line straight on the board you're sawing. Picked up a nice guide that fits any saw at Home Depot for about $10. I've used this saw to cut 4 by 4 posts for outside fence, for plywood, for 2 by 4's, trim, etc. and it's perfect.The reciprocating, sawzall makes you feel like you've got a real weapon in your hands. This is great for cutting through old work that you need to remove and works quite well. It's a powerful tool that lets you demo easily. It is so easy to change blades you won't believe it.The jigsaw (also purchased separately from the kit) works very well too. It's a breeze to change blades and the blade locks in place against a support that lets you confidently make very smooth cuts. This is not the jigsaw of the past which was often a pain to use with poor results. No, this Porter Cable jigsaw is very smooth and makes the cuts you need.I've been using these tools for a month or so to do some demo and remodeling and I highly recommend them. You cannot beat them at the price. Battery life is excellent and recharge time is about 15 mins for LX and 30 mins for EX battery. So with two batteries you can keep on working without a problem. By the time you use one out, your other battery is recharged. And they do go for quite a bit of work on a single charge. I installed some plywood flooring on my porch with lots of screws and my impact driver never did quit. The tools are solid, handle well, and are of very good quality. Porter Cable gets the highest rating.

It's not especially sexy, but it gets the job done. Arrived quickly, one of the two supplied batteries would not hold a charge so I called customer service and they immediately shipped me a new one free of charge.I'd never used a battery powered circular saw, and this one works great. I especially appreciate the instant-stop feature, meaning the blade does not continue to spin when you let go of the trigger. Sufficient power from both saws and drill... and fantastic price!

This is a great set of tools. I went back and forth for a long time on whether to shell out the money for a name brand I knew like Dewalt, and if I used them everyday I probably would have. But I went with PC because the tools looked well built and they got really good reviews. I was not disappointed. I like them so much that I purposely come up with new projects just so I can try them out. The Lithium-Ion batteries last quite awhile, I heard horror stories of the Ni-Cad. The tools feel sturdy and solid in your hands and cuts are pretty clean and just and good as I've gotten from corded saws. This set comes with a large battery and a smaller one. The best thing is that adding on more tools are fairly cheap since you don't have to buy a new battery with each one. I picked up a vacuum for $22 and a jigsaw for $30.
