Smooth (4.0)

I've had this only for a few weeks. Haven't used the grinder or sawzall yet. Built a wooden gate, and the little circular saw did an impressive job cutting 2x4s. It's very light and maneuverable. Also ripped through some cedar like butter.

The hammer drill went through block in no time-- very glad I bought it. Driver is fine. No frills, works well.

I haven't had enough use to comment on battery life. One of the cells indicates reversed polarity when charging sometimes. I should probably call B&D before the month is up.

Can I just say THANK GOODNESS (5.0)

This has come in so handy. I purchased a fixer-upper in February 2010 and wish I had purchased this at the same time. I eventually broke down to get this in April and man was I glad. I have used these tools so many times to complete various tasks. I think the cost to get these tools caused me to stay away and continue to borrow tools, but the fact remains that you will save so much money over the time of ownership by being able to complete your own projects versus paying someone else to come in and do it.

Great item. (5.0)

Cordless impact was at my door before I could believe it. Worked great right out ot the box. Great seller. They have my business till I croak.

Heavy Duty (5.0)

This was for one of our maintenance guys who is very hard on his equipment. His comment was that that was a very heavy duty drill. Great deal. Thanks

Great drill (4.0)

This is an excellent drill. I've owned it for 3 years and used it pretty heavily during that time. The exterior of the drill is pretty beat up at this point, but everything still works the way it should.

A feature I would love to see DeWalt adopt would be to flatten the back side of the drill and battery so that the drill could be set flat on its back and not tip over. This would be really useful when trying to use it in a confined space. I used to have an old Panasonic drill that was made that way, and it was great.

If you want a long lasting quality drill, DEWALT is the way to go.

DW Cordless drill (5.0)

Best tool dewalt ever made.To bad they have replaced it with a newer one.The new one is smaller but the nose is made of plastic,good for around the house will not hold up on the job for everyday use. DWV

Great Lasting Power! (5.0)

I received the pair of batteries, charged them both and they worked as good as when my drill was new 5 years ago. They both hold the charge for days. I did later find them at Home Depot for $10 less - and I don't believe it was a sale. They used to be about $80 a piece at Ace Hardware.

Dewalt backs their XRP batteries (5.0)

We use our Dewalt cordless tools for Habitat for Humanity builds and for around the house and we love them. They provide a lot of power for a long period of time. Yet, these last pair of batteries either stopped taking a charge or wouldn't fully recharge. Dewalt has a three year warranty on their batteries so I just took them to the Dewalt service center, they ran a test on them to confirm the battery status and then gave me a new pair of batteries. It only took 5 minutes and there wasn't any hassle. We're sticking with Dewalt.

Worn out batteries (5.0)

Worm out batteries made my combo DeWalt drill and circular saw unuseable. New batteries gave them new life - like new.

SECOND ONE DOES NOT WORK (1.0)

THIS IS THE SECOND DEWALT FLASHLIGHT THAT WORKED ONLY FOR A SHORT TIME HEATED UP AND THEN STOPPED WORKING I WAS AWAY FOR A WHILE AND DID NOT HAVE THE CHANCE TO REPORT THIS WOULD LOVE TO GET ANOTHER ONE TO REPLACE IT BUT NOT SURE IF THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG THE BATCH OF THEM THAT ARE BEING SENT

Out of date Batteries (3.0)

While the Batteries purchased are functionally working, they were also about 18 months old. If I were to buy them again I would spend the extra $7.50 and buy 1 month old batteries locally.

Powerful drill even as 3/8 impact gun (4.0)

Happy buying this drill. It has lot of power and very often use it with an adapter for 3/8 drive socket. It works.

Purchased my Dewalt at ACE for $[...] (4.0)

My old DEWALT 18V drill had blown it's last battery so I started shopping. I found a new DeWalt 759A at ACE for $[...], Brought it home and discovered that all the components are compatible with my old half inch drill which still works. Now I have two drills for the price of replacing the batteries. Check ACE before June 20th for this deal. I suspect it is a loss leader and you do have to wait for a $20 rebate to get it down to $[...]. The first store had nothing but a picture on the rack with the $[...] price tag. The second store I tried had two in stock. They said they would come in later. YEAH.... I'm a little concerned that the wobble reported here by many buyers might be a problem. Oh well, I have my old standby Dewalt Hammer/drill which was used when I got it and runs very well ten years later. It sings a happy tune with the new low profile batteries installed. I am a bit disappointed to find that many of my favorite tool sellers such as Craftsman and DeWalt are going downhill in the quality department. For the hobbyist like myself, a trip to Harbor Freight is probably the best answer. The quality is low but you know what you are getting and the price is right. I throw the ten dollar tool away when it breaks and forget about all the hoops the manufactures want you to jump through to get a replacement on an expensive tool. Just my meandering thoughts. Please forgive.

5 years later and still going strong (5.0)

I'm a remodeling contractor and use this drill EVERY day. I drive screws, drill 3/4" holes, stir 5 gallon buckets of joint compound & thin set. This drill just never stops. My subcontractors scoff when I hand this drill to them to mix heavy joint compound and then are amazed when they're done and I take it and keep working. I've had this drill for 5 years. The batteries are still good (but starting to show their age) and I usually only need to switch batteries once during the day if I'm doing heavy work like 3/4" holes with a spade bit. It's been dropped off of scaffolding, kicked and rattles around in the back of my pickup. I'll buy another one the instant this one decides it's had enough. For now, it's still going strong.

Ha! A $200 joke... And its not funny either. (2.0)

Ha! A $200 joke... And its not funny either.

That about sums this drill up. It started out great, but the chuck eventually warped, and the battery stopped holding a charge after several months of light, household use. How much does a new battery cost? About $120.

I'd rather bust out the corded drill and extension cord...

Works for me (5.0)

I am a homeowner and this is the perfect drill to have available for both small and large projects. Last summer it helped me build a deck and by the time one of the batteries discharged, the other battery was already recharged and ready to go to work.
I received this as a Father's Day gift last year and have been VERY pleased with it and it's performance.

Cordless Saw (5.0)

I am very pleased with the saw. It is not for framing work, but works fine for small finish work. With a plywood blade it gives very smooth cuts in cabinet grade birch. I recommend it for a home owner who does occasional small projects.

6 1/2 dewalt cordless circular saw (5.0)

I love my saw and it is handy with no cords running around the garage and more powerful than you think, I had to fix a dog house board, yes one board, the dog was hungry, and of course the dog house is in back of the yard and I grabbed my trusty saw and measered the board I removed and cut it right there and I was done, great value also Thank you, Frank

Great Homeowner Saw (5.0)

The guy at Home Depot tried to sell me the 7 1/4 inch corded saw, citing that it was far more saw for the money over the 6 1/2 inch cordless kit. He also told me that cordless saws eat battery power so a corded saw is better. I have a bunch of 18v batteries from other tools, so buying the bare tool was far cheaper than the corded saw. Additionally, I am not a contractor who needs cutting power all day. I need to cut stuff on a far smaller scale so the batteries are not an issue. So far, this saw has cut everything I've thrown at it with ease. This product is an excellent addition to my Dewalt 18v tool box.

Junk Saw (1.0)

I was very much looking forward to using this saw on a part of my property that has no power. I had two fully charged batteries and I was using the blade that came with the saw. I tried to cut a two by four and the saw stalled the first time I used it about one quarter inch into the cut. I changed to a two by four that was extremely dry and had the same result. I double checked the batteries which are also new and had the same result. I was using the "Fast Woodcutting", 16 tooth blade that came with the saw, double and triple checked everything and had the same result. I thought of buying a plywood type blade with more teeth per inch but why blow another 20 some dollars. I'm very disappointed in DeWalt and Amazon. I thought I was buying a quality product, boy, was I wrong.

Great tool! (5.0)

I bought this "Bare-Tool", as I already own another DeWalt tool and have spare batteries and a charger. I have a 18 volt "Black & Decker Firestorm" saw of this type, but it is very under powered, and the battery packs do not last well. This DeWalt will out saw the B & D numerous times over and is an excellent buy.

This impact driver (5.0)

I'm just here to testify for the impact driver. Had to sink many 3"-4" screws and the regular driver was lacking. I'd drive so far then the bit would slip in the head. Hooked up to an impact and it was like sinking screws into butter (okay...hard butter) but still easy. They all went in with little or no effort. We were sinking screws into 50 year old wood (old house) so some of the wood was hard as nails. I choose Dewalt as I had 4 extra batteries due to my other Dewalt tools and DeWalt has always been good to me. I've never had a problem with their products.

Power in a small package (5.0)

I purchased the DC825B impact driver several weeks ago because I had to redeck two good size decks. The tool drove screws quickly and the battery charge lasted through about 300 2.5" screws driven into old pressure treated joists. I would say driving a screw was nearly twice as fast as a standard drill driver. The compact size is a real plus in tight spots. The only con is impact drivers make considerably more noise than standard drivers. With hearing protection this is a good trade off.

Since I have many other DeWalt 18-volt tools with batteies and chargers, the bare tool purchase was the way to go.

great tool (5.0)

This impact driver is a great tool. Surprising power and torque from such an easy-to-handle size. If, like me, you already have the DeWalt 18V (XRP, XRP Lithium Ion , or Compact) batteries, these "bare" tools (just the tool; no charger/battery/case) are an unbeatable deal for a tool that you will find yourself using for all kinds of jobs.

Powerful Driver (5.0)

If you are driving deck screws with a drill, you need one of these suckers! You won't believe how much torque this little tool has. It will shatter non-impact driver bits in short order. Don't wait, just order one. You will be glad you did. I recently switched from 14.4v Makita to 18v Dewalt and have never looked back. The DC-950 hammer drill is the ticket for drilling into concrete. The DC-390 cordless circular saw is a great tool as well.

Compact and powerful (5.0)

Not long ago a friend gave me an extra DeWalt 18 volt drill he'd come into. I'd been using a 12 volt Makita for over a decade, and I was amazed at how much more torque and battery life the DeWalt had. The same friend also had a DeWalt impact driver from the same series, and again, I was impressed how well this handled mechanical tasks usually relegated to a pneumatic impact driver. But even more impressive was how well the DeWalt worked for driving screws.

A few years ago, the major cordless tool makers started to come out with impact drivers which they marketed not to mechanics, but to carpenters. While today's 18volt cordless drills do a pretty good job of driving screws, they still start to bog down when driving really long screws into hard or resinous wood. The slow, stall, and eventually overheat. But impact drivers don't do this. They work on a different principle, using a motor-driven hammer to repeatedly strike an anvil that drives the output shaft. As the load increases, they switch from spinning to a rapid-fire staccato impact mode, in which every impact turns the screw a bit farther, while the motor continues to spin and bring in cooling air.

I was very pleased to discover that Amazon had a DeWalt impact driver available in a batteryless and caseless package (for those of us who already have a charger and several batteries) for about $125. I purchased mine for a mix of yard projects- this is a great tool for driving the big screws used to tie landscape timbers together- home projects, and motorcycle/scooter maintenance. And amazingly, it's even lighter and more compact than the DEWALT DC759KA Heavy-Duty 18-Volt Ni-Cad 1/2-Inch Cordless Drill/Driver Kit. I'm giving away my Makita 12v drill/driver to a nephew who likes tools and gadgets, and switching 100% to the DeWalt system.

Handy item (5.0)

I bought this for my son who uses it at work. He says it is very handy when he is climbing around the construction jobs.

Good Holster!!! (4.0)

I bought this as I was really annoyed at having to pick up a drill from the floor as I am holding a screw in the other hand. I have the Makita small drills, so it fits but this holster is way too big for the small drill, however the drill stays in the holster due to the clips. This holster goes on your belt and stays put. I am happy with the purchase as the drill will be close to my hands when I need it. I used to use the drill hook, but it was too big for the Makita drill.

Awesome (5.0)

I received this in the mail today and thought I would write an initial review since I find these incredibly helpful. I used a Craftsman Leather drill holster for almost 10 years and it did great until a snap broke. This holster is far superior to that one. It uses what feels like a heavy duty plastic buckle to secure the drill when not in use and has a handy piece of velcro inside to hold up the buckle when the drill is being used preventing the strap from getting caught under the drill upon holstering. That is a huge benefit. No more fiddling with the strap when putting the drill in the holster. Also, the holster holds the drill and impact driver well. Overall, this holster is amazing and highly recommended.

Works like cowboys intended (4.0)

Great drill holster, the only problem is that all the holes for the larger bits are hollow so things can fall through them. Other than that it was great being up on the ladder, screwing something in, and NOT having to balance the drill on my shoulder or the ladder while I reach for another screw.

Good sturdy holster, what you would expect from DeWalt (5.0)

I put this drill holster thru a lot of abuse while remodeling a house then working with Habitat for Humanity. It is sturdy and has all sorts of pockets/sleeves to stick stuff. Works pretty well for staple guns too. You can't go wrong with this product.

Dewalt 18 volt recip saw (5.0)

I bought this saw to replace my 5 year old DeWalt saw (it died) that I use on the job. I was impressed by the new saw's features, in particular the tool less blade receptacle that will take the blades in the standard vertical position but also has an added receptacle that accepts the blades horizontally. The shoe can be adjusted in 3 positions out from the saw as well. These are handy features that my old saw lacked.

Nice reciprocating saw (5.0)

A sawzall without a cord is a handy tool to have. I have used it quite a bit so far for prunning tree limbs. I love the fact that you can mount the blade in four different positions. A sawzall is one of those tools that when you need one there is no substitute. Dewalt quality is very good.

Dewalt Sawzall (5.0)

Very happy with the product. It was a great deal and is a great tool!

AWesome saw!!! (5.0)

This is a great saw. If you already have 18v Dewalt tools, this lets you only buy what you need - no extra batteries or cases. The tool is brand new and comes with instructions, warranty and single 5/6 starter blade.

I used this all afternoon cutting fallen tree branches. It worked in the rain - getting quite wet and abused - like a champ. It never burned out or even slowed down. When the battery is just about done, it goes from 100% strength to 15% strength within about 5 seconds.

This is fairly heavy, so one handed use is possible but not fun in the long term. The blade can be set in all four directions.

This is really a quality tool and I highly recommend it.

Battery contact broke (2.0)

This saw was part of a combo pack that I purchased. Within a couple of uses the saw would work intermittently. After some trouble shooting I found that one of the battery contacts isn't stiff enough to make contact with the battery. Bending it didn't work because the metal is too weak to stay in place. The service center said that it would take a couple of weeks to get an authorization and then parts. I need this tool everyday. Right now It has a small piece of wood to hold the contact in place.

In 4 months, 2 of the 4 batteries I purchased stopped working. I'm not impressed

Fantastic (5.0)

Love it, its lightweight, easy to use and gets the job done. Wish there was a speed control on it. Quick delivery too. Would recommed this product and the seller!!!!!!!!!10 in my book,

Older model (3.0)

I paid $104 for this impact driver which was not too bad. However, I saw it in a hardware store (not a discount place) for $99. But what really got me was that the $99 one was a newer model with a light. This was a third party seller, and they are selling out of date products.

awsome tool (5.0)

great for cabinets decking and really the most useful tool that i own. I already own the the dw056b but i had to get another one so that i could have two going at once for my work.

Awesome (5.0)

This was my husband's number one item on his wish list this Christmas. He's a contractor and loves his Dewalt tools. He is very happy with it, it is everything he expected, and seems satisfied. I was glad that it was sold without the battery pack, as he already owns half a dozen 18v batteries from other Dewalt tools, so another was just an added expense we didn't need. Delivery was fast, although now I wish I didn't pay for express delivery, it arrived well ahead of Christmas, and probably would have gotten here anyway without paying extra.

This had a greater impact on my wallet than the job (2.0)

This had a greater impact on my wallet than the job. When I saw this item I thought it could be the solution to several projects on the horizon so I ordered it. I had to put up a metal building and had countless bolts and screws to install and I was also preparing to change a bunch of tires for the winter season. On the metal building the tool was good for the small screws and up to 1/2" bolts but that's it. It was useless for anything larger. So as I learned from the 1st experience on the building the only good it served in changing tires was to get the lug nuts started and snug and I had to use my 4 way to tighten the lugs. Not what I expected from an impact wrench. Just not enough torque.
