Customer Review: Wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
Very good product, easy to use out of the box. For novices this is a perfect product.Customer Review: What Do you expect for 50 bucks?
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed a screwdriver that would stay charged in my truck for the couple of times a month I needed it. What I got was a screwdriver that would set in the truck for two months and in low speed break loose 1/2 bolts that havent been turned in years. No it is not a 12v drill. No it is not varible speed. No it doesn't have a clutch. and No it doesn't cost $300.00. But, It does have interchangeable batteries, and it does have an external charger. And it comes with a reasonable saw and great little light. And, Why didn't I think about linking the chargers together? It is a very cool light weight system that packs surprizing power and run time. It is never dead, when you pick it up. (You know the old ones you charge them before you use them and charge them when you store them and charge them before you use them and charge...) I am looking at the 14.4 model real hard... I think the dewalt's saw me gotta go!Customer Review: Mediocre at best
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this for a good price but am returning it due to the saw being a power hog. I am getting 8-10 minutes of use from it from a fully charged battery. The driver is decent though but not worth buying the whole kit. The flashlight was okay but I own much better anyways so I didn't even use it. Customer Review: CPX903X1 Starter Set
Summary: 4 Stars
Pros: Lightweight, east to use, quick charge
Cons: Not variable speed. Runs too fast for some tasks!
Customer Review: New battery technology promising.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this starter set because I was curious about the new battery technology from A123, based on new, nanoscale material initially developed at MIT. I am quite amazed at the power of these batteries. The torque for this little screwdriver is good enough to handle most home oriented tasks. The cut saw handled 1 x 2 wood with ease. The light is OK -- nothing special.
My only real issue -- the design is such that you can insert the battery backward without realizing it. The batteries should be keyed in such a way that this could not happen.
These won't replace my 18v gear -- but for a lightweight set around the house it is a good buy.
