Great little impact driver
Rating: 5
I bought this as a bare tool to go with my PS31 with 2 batteries. Had it for at least a year. Just tried the impact feature. It drills holes for concrete screws fast and almost effortlessly. These two little drills have done every drill and drive job flawlessly. From assembling a large utility trailer to driving forstner bits up to 1 3/8" in hardwood, hole saws for installing door lock sets.

My second PS130 - killed the first
Rating: 4
Really good drill, poor chuck: This is my second PS130 - I killed the first one drilling a 3/8" hole into some really tough concrete. (To be fair, that same concrete had my corded Milwaukee 1/2" hammerdrill too hot to hold comfortably after 4 holes.) Obviously I like the drill enough to buy the same one as a replacement (but that is really only because the GSB12V isn't available yet and I needed the cordless hammer). I have two areas that I would change on this drill. 1: This common to pretty much all modern drills: The switch to select forward and reverse is FAR to easy to change when trying to remove something. The way my hand falls frequently pushes the switch from reverse to forward which really makes a mess when I'm trying to remove a screw. My old Makita 12V (NiCAD) drills had the switch on the left side of the grip where it was easy to move with a thumb.... but I'm right-handed. So while I understand the current ambidextrous switch I don't really like it. 2: I HATE the chuck that Bosch uses on their 12V drills! Way too slippery and with only one ring you have only the inertia of the motor/geartrain to work against when trying to loosen a bit that has been (perhaps hot from drilling) made too tight. Plus - Bosch uses a 1/2-20 thread for the chuck and as far as I can find no one makes any 3/8" capacity 1/2-20 chucks other than Bosch... That plus the recess on the front of the drill (where the chuck slides to engage the hammer function) means that unless you just happen to have a metal lathe (lucky me!) typical 1/2" chucks won;t work in the hammer function (or maybe even fit the drill at all). Did that stop me from buying a PS130? Obviously not. I'm overall totally happy with the Bosch 12V platform! I started with a PS11 angle drill - not a really robust tool, got I figured that since I already had the two 12V batteries I'd try their other 12V drills and I'm hooked. (The PS60 recip saw is probably my favorite. I haven't used my old Makita corded recip since I got it.)

Not perfect, but best drill in the class
Rating: 4
This is my 4th PS130. Maybe in this ten years. It's kind break fast, but I am okay with that. I have tough usage. Concrete, thick Metals cuts etc. Good part is I only can buy drill tool only and I don't need to rebuy battery and chargers. I wish you make 1/2" chuck and EC brashless in this. So, far this is the best.

Great Combo Kit!
Rating: 5
I bought this for my husband to do work on our boat. Cordless makes everything so much easier on a boat. Lots of power and a good little speaker too! The surprise should make up for all the work we want to do!

Stop collecting throw-away tools!
Rating: 5
I always bought mid-level tools, and kept struggling for good results. I finally broke-down and bought Dewalt, and haven't looked back, my batteries last 10x's longer, my finished results are 10x's better, and the time I save lets me spend more time enjoying the fruits of my labor INSTEAD of waiting for batteries to charge and going back to the hardware store for more materials because the tools alignment slipped out again. Last year I did not own ANY Dewalt tools, now I own 14 Dewalt 20v MAX tools, this kit was my first purchase. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Bang for your buck!
Rating: 5
I've had this kit over a year now and let me tell you, what a great investment this is! You can do so much so easily with this kit! These tools are not the top models dewalt offers but it will definitely get the job done! Radio is not to bad but it's not the best but its very nice to have! Recep. Saw is great! I've used it so much, almost on daily basis and I can't belive it's still going strong! The drill and impact are definitely built though. I've dropped them countless times and they still perform normal to my surprise! Skill saw and grinders are also great products! I can't complain besides the fact that it didnt come with more batteries and chargers for so many tools. I ended up buying 2 more 2AH 20V batteries.

Awesome Set
Rating: 5
I've had this set for a year now and it has been amazingly handy... I've ran the circular saw and both drills all day on multiple days and they keep taking a beating.... [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Well worth the money!
Rating: 5
I do a lot of diy projects around the house and am always looking for good and reliable tools. I got this combo kit two years ago and was very happy with the performance from each and every tool in the kit. It tackles all the tasks I throw at it and some. I have since bought 5amp batteries that are a great addition when I am looking for extended run times. I love that I can buy other dewalt tools and use the same batteries.

Well rounded tool set.
Rating: 5
I just purchased this set about 3 days ago. I have used the drill, impact driver, reciprocating say and flashlight in the past. The new peices in this set are the circular saw, right angle grinder and speaker. All have been tested and run and so far work great.

Great upgrade from my Craftsman set
Rating: 5
I love these tool so far. I had an older craftsman 19.2 volt system and I got tired of replacing the batteries, they are not cheap. I saw a good deal on this kit on amazon and lowes was willing to match the price so I bought them. The circular saw is one of my favorite, it has lots of power and it has 61/2 inch blade. These tools are being used to complete a bonus room that I'm finally getting to after 14 years (kids are getting older). Great set and fair price.

Kind of disappointed
Rating: 4
I bought this second set last since the first set I bought was great with no problems. I gifted my father my first set and bought this new one. This was was September of last year or so. And I have been really busy with work . Really did not start using it until three weeks ago. I started building my deck. One of the two batteries died. I put I on the charger over night friday and started again on Saturday. It indicated full charge. Started using it can even screw two screws before it is dead. The drill itself is having problem when you lock the bit in place and losses the lock when you put it in reverse. Just disappointed. Not what I expected. Like I said my first set was great never disappointed my second set mist of been made in China.

Weak sawzall
Rating: 4
This kit was very nice, and took some abuse all but the sawzall, I used it once to cut a box spring in half and it burnt up. Other than that it's a great starter set [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
