Not a tradesman, so my power tool needs are satisfied by light to medium-duty equipment. I do love to tackle home projects, and it is with this perspective that I give this tool kit a 5-star rating for overall value.
Prior research prompted me to purchase a pair of 5AH batteries to accompany the kit since it only comes with the pair of 2AH batteries (Yes, two batteries even though the specs list just one). The 4 batteries have served me well; the 5's serving the heavier tools and the 2's working perfectly well with the lighter items.
- The worklight and speaker seemed like fluff additions just to call it a 7-tool kit instead of 5, but they might be the two items I use most; light and music enhance any project.
- The speaker connects faster than any BT speaker I've used. More volume leads to reduced quality, but minor. It can also drop the connection from time to time, reconnecting should fix.
- The worklight is plenty powerful and has become our home's new starting flashlight, very stable and bright, uses very little energy from battery.
- The circular and reciprocating saws are awesome, especially with the 5AH batteries. The circ makes smooth cuts through 2-inch wood of all types and the recip is MacGyver of my tool box, making brilliant cuts in situations that would otherwise stall a project for a period of time.
- The driver is your typical, reliable Dewalt driver, which I use now in place of my older 18v stemmed model.
- The impact driver might be my new favorite tool; smooth, strong and compact. Get a good bit set, you'll make good use of it.
- The grinder, though only used once so far, seems capable, 5" discs are plenty for DIY/home projects. I like the screw-handle included.
- One of the add-on options at the time of purchase was the oscillating multi-tool for a nicely-reduced price. I was pleased to see that it was the new XR brushless version and came with a couple attachments.
Overall, after months of researching, I found that this was the best bang for buck for DIY kits, and can conclude that I still think this after several weeks of ownership. I did purchase the XR hammerdrill as well since I occasionally must get into concrete and stucco.
