Maby-
I bought this kit about 3 weeks ago. Do not buy the cordless circular saw. I could only cut a pice of plywood about 20x30 inches on one charge. The drill has only 1 drawback- the cruck is strange and when you try to grab it to tighten down, it slips out of your hand. Flashlight is increadibly bright. The sawzall is nice, but my Craftsman sawzall can out perform it. This kit might be nice for a home owner, but for saws, go corded.

Hope this Helped-

saw is worthless, but everything else is great!
I bought this set just before xmas. It took a few charge cycles before the batteries held their full charge. The saw is worthless compared to anyother cordless saw, but the drill and recpricating saw are a great addition to anyones tool collection. There needs to be an ability to purchase new batteries though. Ive searched the web and not been able to find anyone who offers them.

Undecided
Tools look great and do a great job as long as the battery last but I'm not sure if these tools will satisfy someone whom will use them heavely. The circular saw claims 70 2x4s per charge, I've only used it on 2x6s and the batt only lasted for 5 of them. The sawsall eats them even faster.The flashlight is also only half as brite as my DeWalt 12v.I'm hopeful that after a few cycles the batt will increase there run time. Have not used drill enough to rule on.I might change my mind in future but right now I can neither recommend for or against buying. Tried again, batts did not last as long as the first time!

Skil Combo Tool Pack
This package sure got a lot of oohs and aahs when it showed up at GadgetGuys.com. Like the drill with the built in light, and built in stud finder. Love the soft sided case. The hard sided cases are cumbersone to carry and store. Like the energy indicator on batteries--hate starting a job when I'm up on a ladder and the darn battery dies. Full review at www.gadgetguys.com.

Undecided
I'm not sure if I should buy this set - The drill is a little under-powered (300in/lbs torque)for an 18v model. Most 18's put out around 400in/lbs. Does anyone know the circ. saw arbor diameter? It is extremely hard to find tech. info. on this set. Even the official Skil website has nothing on it. I finally hunted down a picture of this set (at Lowes website) and was disappointed to see that the circ. saw has a right side blade. ... Read more

A great investment for all people that have dust problems
I purchased Model 16004QV. This is one great dust collecting machine. I used a 2 1/2 to 1 1/4 inch adapter to hook my Porter Cable sander to the vacuum. In my kitchen I have Parquet floors that needed refinishing. I sanded the floor three times and applied poly after each sanding. After the final coat had dried I used a wet paper towel to wipe the counter tops, absolutley no dust on counters. The only regret that I have is that the Turbo Carpet Head and Deluxe Floor tool were not available from Tool Crib. I purchased these seperately from Love-less Ash Company. I almost lost my vac. when my wife used the carpet head in the house. It vacuums carpets better than the Kirby or other machines I have used. The crevice tool supplied really gets the dust and dirt out of corners and on top of base boards. I don't ever plan on sanding again without my Love-less attached to the sander. I can see no reason to have a dust table to sand on when you can purchase this vacuum so economical. It is a must for every woodworkers shop. ... Read more

The good, the bad, but nothing ugly
After looking at the various scroll saws available, I chose this one because of the 90 degrees of table angles available (only the Craftsman also has that feature) and the fast angle settings which lock into the metal positioning plate which make returning to various settings very quick. I also had excellent experiences with Dremel products in the past.

The only problem experienced so far was the similar "clanking" sound another reviewer mentioned, but I was able to fix that by removing the two screws which hold the motor cover in place, adjusting the holes and re-installing it so the weight on the motor shaft no longer hit the inside of the cover.

I also agree with one of the other reviewers that the switches are tiresome after a while because they are so small and somewhat difficult to operate under the rubberized dust covers.

The "free" stand went together easily, and by not fully tightening all the bolts on the stand I was able to align all the holes before fully tightening down the saw. I did have to add two washers to two of the mounting holes on the top because the metal wanted to bent when tightening the saw to the stand.

The light is bright enough for me as it is not the only light I use near the saw, and it doesn't get too hot to work around. It does however get in the way at times when working with larger pieces if the table is at an extreme angle, but this is normally not an issue.

All in all the saw works fine, and has been reliable. Next time I would spend the few extra dollars and buy the new Delta which is much heavier for less vibration, and has even easier blade changing and tension setting adjustments, both of which I feel are more important features.

Very nice saw
I use my Dremel scroll saw to create decorative scroll work for a furniture making shop that does most of it business in grandfather clocks and high-end dining room furniture. I like the speed control and power switch located up front where they are easy to use. Blade changes are far simpler that my old saw that required special tools in order to change a blade. The blade tension system is superior to anything else I've tried. Blade tensioning tip: When installing a new blade, tighten the tension knob until the blade first feels taught. Then rotate the tensioning lever 1 1/2 turns and that will provide the perfect tension for most blade types.

When I bought the tool two years ago, I had one problem with the saw. It just quit working one day. One call to the Dremel toll-free number solved the issue. It seems they did have an issue with dust getting into the switch and making the saw not work. They sent me a new switch (for free) with dust boots on it and the problem was solved. I now see that this saw has dust boots on its switches as standard equipment.
Other that that, I get pro-quality results for a hobby price.

Great tool ... when it works
My first Dremel scroll saw lasted about a month - I touched the scroll saw while vacuuming my shop, a spark jumped, and it immediately stopped working. Lowes was great - they replaced it right away. However, about a year and a half after that, the saw simply quit working. Everything looked ok - nothing jammed, bearings ok, power ok, it didn't overheat and reset, etc. It looked like, in a bone dry Arizona shop, that static was the culprit the second time as well. I concluded that Dremel didn't add adequate protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD), and that ESD fried the electronic motor control. This makes Dremel far too high a risk for me to ever buy another one - even if I lived elsewhere, as winters can still be very dry. Too bad, because the tool is otherwise great.

Very Average
For the hobbiest who has a lot of time on his/her hands,this machine is probably ok. As a professional woodworker, I found the blade changing to be excessively difficult, hit and miss with the top rear tensioner. Also, it's foot doesn't fit right to the wood surface; causing strain when moving the piece around for precise cuts. Mine developed a loud clanking sound after only a few hours of use, and eventually blew fuses, and finally shut down completely. It has some nice features, like the controls up front, large base, and variable speed control; but, unfortunately, not very reliable for the serious scroll saw enthusiast.

Breakin and Enterin
I just broke into the scrolling field about 3 months ago. I did little researching on the various saws but could see real quick that the Dremel, with all of its comparable features to the more expensive models, was a very good value for the money. I find it very user friendly. But after a few projects I could quickly discern its minor drawbacks. The light is dim. The plastic spare blade storage door is flimsy and tends to misalign, making it hard to close. Just recently, the upper arm is starting to knock on the upper housing if the blade isn't fairly tense. I've got to call Dremel about this one yet. The stand included was ok to put together but I couldn't get some of the holes to line up with the base of the saw. The vibration is somewhat dissapointing but not major with this price range. Not recommended for fretwork. Bottom blade holder is hard to get to with large hands. The on and off switch gets a little tiring after several pushes during a project. Get a foot switch! The blade holders are a snap with changing. In short, a very good buy for the hobbyist. ...

The third and best grinder
I had the opportunity to get myself in deep (up to my ears) in a welding project and needed a grinder. Well as it turns out this is the third grinder I have had to buy and it is by far the best. My first grinder was a cheap chinese unit that SCREAMED loudly and didn't last. The second unit was a Ryobi unit available from your local home improvement center, quiet and smooth but with a fatal flaw that was a consant problem, when you set it down it hits the power switch and turns on momentarily flying all over the place, at 10000 RPM this is a problem. The switch failed mercifully and I gladly threw it away. This Ryobi angle grinder did not last very long, another Made in China wonder. Speaking of switches that brings us back to the Dewalt unit which has a safety latch on the switch, that works very well. It's quiet, safe, and made in America. Oh by the way, ALLWAYS use ear and eye protection when grinding and cutting metal! ... Read more

Will pay for itself after one wiring job.
If you are going to be doing any serious wiring around your house buy one of these drills, don't argue with me, don't cavil and whine that's it's too expensive, just buy the drill. Now Drilling between joists, or up into wall cavities, tasks which are a complete pain in the neck with a standard drill are almost effortless with the 3002. I had to run a bundle of wires through 12 floor joists, with this drill it took me about 15 minutes to drill all of the holes I needed and run the wires. Like every other Milwaukee product the drill is very well built and durable and if taken care of will last forever.

Milwaukee Builds'em Right
I use this drill at work on a daily bases and it has never let me down. The extra long handle is great when your dilling overhead. This model has a higher rpm than the standard right angle dill kit. The higher rpm's make drilling wood a lot easier. I only wish Milwaukee would have put the Quik-Lok cord on this model. No tool is perfect but this one comes close. ... Read more

WARNING - Amazon's "free" shipping SUCKS!
Note the fine print in amazon's shipping policy:

" It will be delivered to your address but not UNLOADED, unpacked, or assembled. "

This means YOU will be responsible for getting the item OFF THE TRUCK when it is delivered to your home. That's over 4 feet off the ground. And yes, the truck will not have a lift gate--that costs more. So, they offer "free shipping", not "free delivery." Buyer beware!

Great Compressor for Average Woodworker
I held off on this review because a had to get a replacement. The first one was pretty banged up in shipment. I believe the reason for this is do to insufficient packing. The unit is not bolted to the pallet and only held on with 2 plastic bands. This wouldn't be a problem, but the unit is top heavy. The 2nd unit I received arrived in good shape, but I had had my fingers crossed. The styrofoam was pretty shattered. The setup was smooth except for trying to line up the holes to get the wire piece in that holds the handle in place--a minor design problem. Man, this puppy is quiet--especially compared to my little Emglo 1.5hp. It runs smooth and doesn't cycle on very often when driving nails. I would have given 5 stars except for the packing problem. It seems like it's just what I wanted since I need something that is an all-around machine. I need it for nailing, spraying, and other small jobs. I also needed something portable to work around the house replacing siding, etc.. Amazon was very nice and understanding in making the replacement. I do have to crate up the 1st one and send it back, but that's just the way the cookie crumbles.

Quiet, powerful with a manageable size!
I have a small shop (our two car garage) and I am very sensitive to noise. So, you can guess, that my two top priorities were a quiet unit that I could operate in the shop while I was working, yet powerful enough to drive my wide range of pneumatic tools. If you have the same requirements, you are reading about your dream compressor. This unit is smooth and powerful Once again PC has delivered a nice piece of engineering. I have placed it in my shop under a table that I do most of my assembly and work. It kicks on and burrs for a few seconds and goes to sleep for a long period while I am firing nails or something. I measured the noise level while it was running and it is well within the range. I just love this compressor!

Quiet with plenty of power
I have a small shop and was looking for a quiet compressor, portable, with a large enough capacity to handle a variety of tasks. I had an old sears 220v compressor that was very quiet that finally gave up the ghost. I borrowed a relatives compressor that was so loud that I couldn't stand it any longer. After reading other reviews I purchased the CPL6025 and it's everything I hoped for. Highly recommend it for someone with the same needs as me.

Great Compressor!!
I use this compressor in a wood shop and it provides enough air pressure for all my needs. It is also quiet, but fills the tank very fast. The output pressure valve is convenient and easy to use so you don't have to spend a lot of time trying to set the proper air pressure for the tool you are using. The 6025 is also great because of its portability. All in all, this is a great compressor that can handle a large variety of jobs... p.s. Be sure to read manual before operating the machine it offers very good advice that should be followed.. ... Read more

Here's a handy little nailer at a great price. Palm nailers have their fans, and if you're one of them, you'll like this model. Its 2.5 pounds are well-balanced and made even easier to handle because of the soft rubber palm pad and nice leather grip. One downside of palm nailers is the need to feed each nail individually, but the A20 features a magnetic nail guide that speeds up your driving. It's ideal for joust hangers, metal straps, and pole barn assembly. The home do-it-yourselfer will like it because it eliminates the dimpling that always goes along with hand nailing. Just a little pressure activates the firing mechanism for trouble-free fastening.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste ... Read more

This is a poor substitute, for the A9, definitely not up to Senco's reputation. This appears to be a budget model. I use this tool weekly, I drive alot of 12d and 16d casing nails, they get jambed in the head, this never happend with the A9. Is probably fine for framing nails, hanger nails etc. I wish

BEST SAW I EVER OWNED
I am NY framer and my number 1 tool on the job is my circular saw. That saw doesn't stop from 7:30am until 4:00pm. I've owned a Bosch which I despised and even the DeWalt 369CSK which was a great saw just TOO MUCH PLASTIC. The Makita weighs a bit more but for the love of GOD, I've never used a more powerful saw. This thing rips through CCA like it was 1/4 inch plywood. BUY IT...YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED!!!

Gimme a Brake !
A very good saw with a nice, big table that runs smooth, BUT... spring the extra[money]for the next model up with the blade brake. I mistakenly assumed this model had one when I ordered it and I was wrong and I miss it badly. And what's the light for? You can't see it in anything less than dark conditions and should you be sawing in the dark? This is another superfluous marketing gimmick that drives the price up with no real benefit to the consumer. Too bad. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

The Milwaukee Body Grip orbital jig saw is a workhorse worthy of any workshop. Powered by a 6.2 amp motor, the saw muscles its way through a wide variety of materials with ease. The Body Grip features a 1-inch blade stroke with four-position orbital action for aggressive cutting. Electronic speed control helps the saw maintain its blade speed throughout a cut, with eight overall settings and a range of 500 to 3,000 spm. Even with all that power, the Body Grip is a surprisingly agile performer. An antisplinter device helps to stabilize the work piece and reduce splintering. A shoe cover protects the work piece surface from marring and scratching. A vibration-dampening mechanism permits smoother overall operation, though the saw still does run louder than its less powerful peers. Angle cuts and bevels are quick and easy, too, thanks to a keyless 45-degree shoe angle adjustment. A transparent blade cover improves dust extraction. Debris is blown ahead of the cut for improved visibility, and a built-in manifold is provided for vacuum-assisted dust collection. --Carl Thress ... Read more

Things to consider
I recently purchased this jigsaw and have used it a few times. Here are a few things I've noticed in this short time:
On the plus side, I like how it fits in my hand, barrel grip saws just feel better to me than top grips. It's got plenty of power, and with the variable speed, you can dial in whatever you need. It cuts beautifully and leaves smooth edges, but that could also be that I only use Bosch blades.
While it is a bit heavy, I find this to be advantageous to staying online and reduce vibration. The plastic foot cover allows to to glide nicely as well.

On the minus side, there are a couple of safety concerns I'd like to mention. First and foremost, the switch to turn it on, while somewhat protected by the upper knob, pushes in for ON and pulls out for OFF. This occurs to me as easy to accidentally bump on and a little trickier to turn off quickly if needed. I'm a bit surprised that is configured this way as every other tool I've seen is designed to turn off if bumped, not on.
Second is in regards to the quick change blade system. While certainly a super idea and WAAAY faster than any other jigsaw I've used, I've noticed that after only being used a few times, the blade retaining sleeve, which should rotate back 90 degrees to completely lock the blade in, only rotates back about 20 degrees barely doing the job. As I previously mentioned, I use Bosch blades which are a bit thicker than the Milwaukee ones, but even with those it only closes about 40 degrees now. I've blown it out with compressed air in case there was sawdust in there, but that had no effect.

Against my better judgement(needed to finish the project that day), I've used it in this condition and haven't had any problems though I plan on contacting Milwaukee about this.

The last thing on the minus side is that the bevel adjuster lever is really easy to bump loose and thus inadvertantly slanting the blade over. Alas, I know this from experience. Now that I'm aware that this can happen, I'll have to pay more attention to that setting.

All that being said, I really do like this saw. It's SOOOO much nicer than my DeWalt cordless jigsaw. Once the blade retention sleeve issue is worked out I'll feel fully confident and won't have any worries, but I'll always keep an eye on the ON switch and bevel adjust lever from now on!

Loud and powerful!
Being a big Milwaukee fan I was disappointed to send this one back. It's a good saw but Milwaukee could have done a better job refining this tool. First of all, the plastic barrel grip housing was rather slippery to grasp and the power switch takes some effort to reach. I guess they tried to make this saw ambidextrous for all to use comfortably. If this was the case, a spring loaded safety switch would have been nice for those unexpected emergencies. The plastic shoe bevel lever scraped my fingers each time I picked up this tool. Sufficient space should have been provided between the lever and the housing or the lever could have been shortened. However, the tool-less bevel adjustment did work well. The ninety and forty-five degree detents were right on with the blade.

What this saw doesn't lack is power...and lots of it!!! Unfortunately, along with good power the saw emits an unbearable loud high pitch whine that takes getting use to. At low speeds, noise and vibration was minimal but highly noticeable as I bumped up the dial. As a compromise, for most woodworkers we normally don't operate at peak level anyway.

This unit did come with a big sturdy plastic case with metal latches, the best I have seen since most manufacturers converted over from metal to cheap plastic. Lots of room for storage too.

All and all, with the minor shortcomings this is a good saw. If you want lots of power but don't mind the noise this is the saw for you!...

Another Excellent Tool from Milwaukee
I was going to purchase the Bosch A584AVSK, but didn't like the allen wrench on the handle. ... I'm a weekend carpenter, but I learned to buy quality tools.

This is an excellent designed tool, although heavy compared to others. The barrel design gives you total control with easy thumb action for the power switch. The speed control is in the rear, by the cord, so it's not in the way. At full power, it's noisy, but I've been using half to 2/3 power, 5-6. The base tilt laver swings and has a pivot/slide/lock mechanism for 0 and 45 degree cuts. I comes with a large case with additional storage for other items.

You can't go wrong with this. ... Read more

Great system
This system works great and makes it POSSIBLE to hang siding with only one person working. It works fine as is for ground level work or working from a scafold. I am buying a second set for ladder work so both ends can be supported while go down for my nailer. Well worth the money.

This is the ticket for hardi-plank installation
True..the picture is misleading, there is only one of the hangers in the package, and there are times when 2 would be helpful.
Overall these tools exceeded my expectations, I'm finishing up on a 500 piece installation and I've hung every piece single handed with these tools.

The picture will deceive.

Incredible set of tools
This is my first set of cordless tools. They are unreal. When working on a roof or away from a power supply this is the only way to go. We used the hammer drill to drill for and set over 300 tapcons in cement block. It never slowed down except when the batteries needed changed which was not that often. The circular saw will amaze you with its power. Radio is now the first tool out of the truck. The hatchet is not as pwerful as a corded one but with the adjustable handle and the ability to make one or two cuts without having to drag out the cord more than makes up for the lesser power. I love this set and would recommend it highly.

No problems thus far....
I have had the set up for a year now.
1) I use the radio everytime I go into the shop. It has ports for CD player which I hook up my Mp3 too and sounds great, It says you can recharge your cell phone with a spare outlet but I have not tried it. I also like plug on the cord. It has a female end on it so you don't plug up a outlet when you plug in. It has a bay to accept a 18 v battery and is easily portable. Nice unit.

2) The drill is powerful. I know the dewalt fans say they like the reverse on the dewalt but I like the power and thin handle which is easier to hold for me. It also comes with a strap handle so you can really put screws in deep with out breaking your wrists. I never boggs down...pure power almost more than I need unless Im going to bulid a deck in a day .

3.) The hatchet I used when I renovated my dads bathroom and although it was portable it really seemed underpowered when put side by side to its eletrical big brother. My cousin and I tested them side by side on studs and the corded sawzall ripped through twice as many in a wall demolition. The Hatchet does do the job and I porbably would not of noticed it if my cousin didn't bring his sawzall. Also one has to take in consideration of the portability and the folding handle to get into tight places.

4.) The Circ Saw is sweet. Its the only one I own and it cuts everything from plywood sheets to finish work. I put a thin matashuta blade on it and it works great. plenty-o power with postitive stop on releasing the trigger. The saftey on the switch is awkward, but I guess it would not be "safe" if it were easy to depress. Nice unit too.

5.) The light is a light with more Volts added to the battery. I have a hitachi 9.6 volt that is relative to brightness to this one, but the clear advantage is longer battery life with the 18 volts and brightness in the tail end of battery death. This light came in handy in a black out and my wife thought I was a genius when a blackout hit us and I pulled them out.

Overall its pricey but I am really glad I made the purchase. I know the power is there when I need it.

Nothing But Heavy Duty!
I'm a believer. These tools are the standards which others are measured against... and come up short. The hammer drill has 495 in./lbs. of torque and is bulletproof. The Sawzall 'Hatchet' is an engineering marvel. The circular saw has plenty of power and a blade brake, which is very desirable. The radio rocks! A worklight and monstrous contractor's bag are just icing on the cake. Milwaukee's lifetime warranty makes this purchase a no-brainer.

WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!!
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A DEWALT FAN, BUT DECIDED TO TRY THE MILWAUKEE BRAND- BIG MISTAKE! THE SAWZELL WORKED FOR ABOUT AN HOUR OUT OF THE BOX BEFORE THE SWITCH AND BUSHINGS WENT BAD AND THEN THE METAL CHUCK ON THE DRILL IS OUT OF BALANCE AND VIBRATES. ALTHOUGH THE SERVICE CENTER WAS HRLPFUL, DEWALT MAKE A FAR SUPERIOR PRODUCT. THINK TWICE BEFORE BUYING...

keeps getting better
I have the Milwaukee combo 6514-25 and I love it, the only difference between the two is that this combo has a hammer drill instead of a standard drill/driver. You cant go wrong with either combo.
I did have a problem with the switch on the Hatchet, but Milwaukee fixed it superfast and shipped it overnight to me via Fedex, i have not had a problem with the hatchet since and that was about a year ago.
No matter which brand you buy theres always that risk that theres a defect. Whats sets the companies apart is how fast they will acknowledge and correct the problem. For my tool it took them less than a week. Milwaukee has great customer service. ... Read more

Awesome Value
I recently found this combo kit on the "bargain rack" at the contractor's favorite mega-store. Out of curiosity I picked it up thinking that it would be a fine stand by set if needed. Amazingly these tools can dish it out with the best that I have seen/used. They are well built and powerful. As already noted, if you follow the simple instructions for ensuring battery life via cycling to start out then I think you will find plenty of power to spare.

For the price paid, and even for more, I think you will find the Hitachi 18V set very satisfactory.

Hitachi Tools Deserve A Closer Look
After twenty years of marine construction as a heavy timber dock and pier carpenter and commercial diver I have been pleasantly surprised by Hitachi. I have been a card carrying member of a professional line of tools known by their red boxes and stellar reputation as hard hitting durable tools.I had a kit like this one built by the red box company but was really unhappy with the power and I had to send in two out of four tools due to breaking on the job. I replaced that kit with this hitachi kit and have come to appreciate Hitachi. The previous reviewer apparently failed to read the part in the instructions where it talked about cycling the batteries a couple of times before they will hold a full charge(!) Well I have been using this kit hard and it is one hell of an arsonal. Good battery life and strong enough to feel like a corded tool. The circular saw has a light for the blade that helps and the motor doesn't bog down like most battery powered tools, the recip. also dishes out the power. All-in-all a great kit when you need the power but don't have enough of a job to justify humping the cords to the jobsite!

Thanks to Hitachi!

Don't bother
I purchased the Hatachi kit just for pick up work, instead of hauling out extension cords, and running my generator. I ended up doing both as the batteries and lack of power on the circuler saw left me with no other options. I made six cuts on treated 2x6 on a freshly charged battery. The drill using a new 11/8" flat bit drilled maybe 10 holes before dying on a freshly charged battery. I tried re-charging the batteries to see if they would come to life, but they haven't. This set is on it's way back. I don't have time to mess around with something that doesn't work. ... Read more

solve your problem
Before now I hardly use the compressor because of the harass to deal with the hose, you know, go get the hose! unwind it, undo the knots and all that stuff. Finally thanks God there's something that is really useful. With this case you protect and keep your hose very easily and doing that you really feel like working more often. You won't regret buying this wonder case!! ... Read more

Very happy with this purchase!
My wife bought me this drill for my birthday and I've been very impressed with it. I've used it to drill large diameter holes and have also used it as a screw gun, it works extremely well in both areas. Everything on the drill seems well made, no small parts to break off. I especially like the 2 fingered trigger and egronomic grip for applying pressure to the bit.

I don't see how anyone could be disppointed with this tool.

Well Built & Great Price
I use Forstner bits for wood boring and this is the best hand drill I have ever used. The high torque and low RPM's are a great combination. If you plan to use wood boring bits with this drill, I recommend using the side grip to avoid injury if there is a kick-back, this drill has that much torque. If I lean on this drill with the full force of my 275 pounds it barely slows. It has handled everything I have thrown at it with no problems. The handle is very comfortable and uses a two finger trigger. The weight is well balanced for a heavy drill.

Excellent Drill
To date this is probably the best drill I have ever owned.
what I was looking for in a drill is Torque, this one has it.
I highly recomend it.

Optimist in Waiting
I am continually impressed with Hitachi tool performance, from the durable NR83a framing hammer to the variety of their smaller power tools like belt sanders and drills. The new recip-saw looks a bit like a fish, we fondly refer to it as "the big bass" when we're faced with a tough cutting job. We are waiting to see if this green machine can outdo anyother red or yellow rival.

I ordered this in August.....! Where the heck is it. In the past Hitachi has not let us down and the same is true for Amazon... so what's up...I've been patient, please find out what the hold up is. ... Read more
