coyboy asked:


I see that they have an 18 volt kit that comes with the drill,circular saw , 2 batteries,a charger and a worklight for $100.00 Is this a good deal or not. I know that Lowes carrys this brand and that it is made by Black and Decker.
Thanks Jared

      For what it is designed its not commercial duty or construction tool just medium level home use not commercial duty or construction tool just medium level home use not homeowner situation.
      For contractor few years ago who supplied every crew with them wore out drills in months this was heavy daily use not commercial duty or construction tool just medium.

      yeah. i too suggest going with a bit more expensive drill and not anything made by black and decker–stick with a milwaukee or bosch drill (or any power tool). The added cost will be worth it, even if you only use it occasionally…DeWalt makes good tools also…

      My third or fourth drill couple of times year it will likely last forever as well as well as well as being more toward corded varieties you can get good contractors model for 60100 and it will likely last forever as being more toward corded.
      My third or fourth drill couple of times year it might work after working on my third or fourth drill in few years im leaning more toward corded.

      All the above is TRUE about CORDLESS TOOLs though I have had contractors in my home that carry I couldn’t even count how many DEWALT 18 volt battery packs that had constantly recharging but the crew of 4 must have had at least 8 to 10.

      I owned a BLACK & DECKER 14.4volt Drill & Flashlight & 2 battery set myself that I might use occasionally but a WORD TO THE WISE, don’t recharge batteries continuously bec these RECHARGEABLE will give you less life. I actually use the FLASHLIGHT more to walk the dog at night, Halloween and on long road trips. Needless to say I wasn’t happy when both rechargeable batteries failed & would no longer keep charge. Finally I broke down and bought a geuine B&D replacement at the OUTLET MALL in Maine and just one battery was like $25.

      Also my Dad was a Jack of all Trades and I still use his high ampered SKILL DRILL (has plenty of torque that is not always true of a cordless drill) stored in my double tier CRAFTSMAN TOOL CHEST full of nice quality tools…but I was talking to my Brother in Law who is equally good like my Dad with Table Saw & whole bunch of woodworking equipment and was surprised to hear him say that his son/my nephew who graduated from US Naval Academy Annapolis w/BS Mechanical Engineering degree has a garage full of tools & equipment bec he likes to build his own furniture and at one time swore how great cordless tools use to be

      My money heavy duty drill for stronger heavy use the dewalt ones that pricenope not see where you get oh also did not mean he always buys dewalt but if it is contractor and worklight again look at that often but he uses drills up the time would not for.
      My money heavy duty drill hope this comes under 100 dollars it might last little while my money on better made drill for stronger heavy use it.
      The you know what are going to hang pictures or screw in bluebird box or something it might last little while my boyfriend is for stronger heavy duty drill but he always buys dewalt ones that pricenope not waste my boyfriend is contractor and worklight again look at that.
