worth to take if on sale
pretty good set, just bits are not too comfortable to take out and put back into the box. Other than that it’s a good set for good price.

Very Good Screwdriver
I have a Denali rechargeable screwdriver set which I like, but the screwdriver doesn’t have much power. This one beats it hands-down. The rotating drive feature works fine, but I haven’t found a situation where it makes much difference. The important thing for me is that the screwdriver is powerful [...]

4×4 cutter ? Not!!!
First thing to know about this saw is despite what the other review says it will NOT cut a 4×4 in one pass! I was skeptical about his claim yet I bought it anyway because why would he lie? Maybe he just doesn’t use the tools before he reviews them? Also this [...]

Great value at this price, get it while you can
When I first saw the 18-volt powerhouse Makita 6347DWDE drill at this price — which doesn’t even include the significant manufacturer’s rebate — I thought it was too good to be true and quite possibly a misprint. I had to re-read the description and the fine [...]

Great Circular saw for the money
I used to use American tools like Sears Craftsman and Skill Saws for 20 years. The problem is that the motors are not well made. They last well, but they start up with a jerk which is not a great thing, you have to wait a second and let them [...]

NiCd Batteries ALL Have Memory - Use NiMH Instead
My advice to all of you who made negative comments about the standard VP-100 Versapak “Silver” battery is to replace it with the VP-110 Versapak “Gold” battery. It costs about 30% more than the Sliver but offers 60% more energy (watts x time) and little or no [...]

Not a lightweight
We purchased this set at a very critical time — we were just about to move into a house and had a long list of things we wanted to do, including but not limited to: cut a hole in the basement door for a cat door, install curtain rods, dis-assemble and assemble furniture [...]

Ok, for the price
I bought this from the Skil outlet, reconditioned. I think I saved about 12 bucks that way. Not a huge savings, but I only use it from time to time. The cutting is a little unsure at times and tends to move around a bit. Works for my purposes. Comes with a [...]

Great saw for a homeowner’s lifetime
This is the best circular saw I have ever used. I used to own the previous version, 5007FK. I’m a homeowner, not a pro, and my old saw ‘disappeared’ when some contractors were at the house. I went for this upgraded model as a replacement and haven’t been disappointed. I’ve [...]

Reasonably priced and easy to use
Overall I like this unit; I’ve had mine for three years, and generally it’s a well balanced tool that cuts very smoothly. Blade sharpening and replacement is pretty simple with the included fixture. What it could use is a dedicated fence for squaring up boards. It’s built to take [...]
