Great Bundle for Most DIYers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Reciprocating Saw: I took the reciprocating saw out in the woods on my land in order to clear away some small branches and trees away from a trail. I had no trouble at all with the small stuff and decided to try cutting through a large-ish tree that had fallen across the trail. The blade that the saw came with was too short for the job, but I had brought an 8" blade along and attached that. I was surprised to find that the saw cut through the tree without much trouble at all. I ensured that battery was fully charged before I started in the woods, but was still quite surprised that after about an hour and a half of using the saw it didn't seem to slow down much at all. The reciprocating saw was the best of this bundle.
Drill: The drill is lightweight and comfortable to use. I was having a bit of trouble drilling a 3/8" hole through a hardwood 2x4 with it, but my drill bit was a little old and dull. I had a new, smaller drill bit that went through the 2x4 without a problem. I love having a cordless drill and especially one that lasts as long as this one.
Circular Saw: The circular saw cut through some softwood 2x4s that I had quite easily, but struggled with a hardwood 2x6. The battery wasn't fully charged, but I didn't expect the saw to struggle. I ended up using my corded circular saw on the same board without any problem. Overall the saw isn't bad, but just feels a bit under-powered.
Flashlight: I considered the light a bit of a throw-in, but I'm actually quite impressed. The light is very powerful. I took it out at night and was surprised how far the light illuminates. The light is so bright that it makes it a bit less useful as a bench light. When I set it on my bench to sort through some screws I had to move the light away pretty far to comfortably work. The way the light array rotates is also not ideal for setting it on a table.
Overall I'm very happy with this bundle. I'll use all four of these tools regularly and the battery life is fantastic. The charging takes quite awhile, but it comes with two batteries so it's not a big deal. I wouldn't say that these are ideal for heavy duty use, but definitely good enough for the average DIYer.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great tool set
on June 1, 2021

from Sacramento, Ca
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great set for someone just starting off or even the advance tool user looking to upgrade old tools. The one thing that really stood out to me with this set is that all the tools use the same rechargeable battery. This made it very convenient. I love that these are all cordless. No more worrying about getting caught up with a cord. This set comes with drill/driver, circular saw, reciprocating saw, and a work light. The work light was great and offered great lighting. These tools are lightweight and easy to handle. I have used them for hanging items on my wall, making a trellis for my cucumbers, and upkeep on my planter boxes. All tools worked well and have become such a staple on my weekly upkeep of our home/yard.

A great set for every homeowner to have.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great small project or home tool set. It is lightweight and still packs on a punch with power. I was able to thoroughly test out this set over the past two weeks with several small projects around the house. In this set you will get a reciprocating saw, circular saw, drill, work light, two batteries, and a charger. The reciprocating saw is a tiny powerhouse. I used it to chop up a tree and limbs. I used it to help with installing new windows. It never lost power during my whole project. The circular saw cuts pretty clean as well as has dome strength. The drill is pretty sturd and compact. We built some planter boxes over the weeks and these tools could do it all. Having two batteries made it easier. You weren't constantly swapping batteries everytime you needed to change tools. Overall this set is a must have for any homeowner. It will tackle most projects. My only complaint would be a bigger work light would be better. Its small and does have a good light but could stand to have more output than it does.

Great Deal

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are in the process of building a new home and having cordless tools are an essential part of this process. I love having the tools that are lightweight and great for smaller projects. The tools work just like they should and I love having 2 batteries. The batteries help for longer and other projects. Overall - great project but I would intend to use these tools for smaller projects.

Solid performance for small home repairs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Drill – Tightening bits in this drill is a breeze due to the check having its own tightening mechanism. The issue I have with the drill is that it feel very underpowered for it being a 20v system. I would have expected screws to really be driven in but with the speed only up to 11 it leaves a lot to be desired even with screwing into drywall.
Reciprocating Saw - Saw has an anti-vibration handle to reduce fatigue. A pivoting shoe is also adjustable to allow more control and to save blades. This feels like a better built Ryobi saw. Kit includes a blade out of the box.
Circular Saw - It uses a 5-1/2" blade. This provides enough to cut a 2" x 4" board. It does come with a blade out of the box but the saw doesn’t have a laser like I am use to. It does have a cutout near the front that shows the path it will take for cuts. Would have really liked a laser sight on this model. The cuts do come out better than my Ryobi saw and just glide across the wood without any resistance.
Flashlight - Features a swivel head that can be directed where needed. LED lights power this device, and claims to be able to run for up to 19 hours which is an insane amount of time.
Batteries- 2 batteries are include rated at 1.5mAh. When running something like the saws the batteries will drain rather quickly so prepare to charge often. These batteries would only be great for light duty projects and fixes around the house. Negative on the battery is that it doesn’t provide any battery stats. You just have to guess if you are going to run out of power.
Charger is compact
Final Impression: I enjoyed the set around the house. Batteries could be bigger capacity but can be upgraded. The saws are very functional and the performance on them rivals my Ryobi set. Cuts with the circular saw are straight, precise, and easy to maneuver. 20v batteries are compatible with Black and Decker other 20v devices which are expanding.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great 4-Piece Set! Powerful! Light-Weight!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros: 4-piece set, two batteries, comes with blades, works well, powerful, light weight, small, all are easy to use
Cons: none
The 20V Max Lithium Ion 4 Tool Combo Kit is super nice! It comes with the Drill/Driver, a circular saw, a reciprocating saw, a work light, two batteries, a charger, and a blade for each saw. Each tool comes with its own instructional manual.
Charging the batteries for them all are super easy and they take a few hours to charge. The instructions on how to charge and use the batteries are very straightforward and easy to understand.
The LED Flashlight is compact, light-weight, has a flexible arm, works well, and it’s nice and bright. It’s very easy to turn on and off. It lasts a very long time using one battery as well.
The cordless drill is small, light-weight, easy to use, powerful, and it works really well. It’s very easy to add and remove the battery. The trigger works easily, and it’s super easy to put it in reverse with the button. The torque controls are easy to switch between as well. It does have a keyless chuck and it’s easy to add/remove drill bits. Plus, it comes with one and it has a little storage for it on the back of the drill which is super nice. The light on it is also helpful.
The Reciprocating saw is also very easy to use. It works well and it’s easy to change the blades. I found the instructions very straight forward for using and operating this saw helpful. It is very easy to lock and unlock. I prefer storing this one without the battery in it just in case it comes unlocked.
The circular saw is also very easy to use, it works well, but I found adding the blade in to be a little difficult. I feel like the instructions could’ve been more detailed. But I was eventually able to get it figured out. It’s overall very easy to change the angles, and the blade depth. I like how small the machine is. It’s powerful and it works really well.
All in all, this is a really nice 4-piece tool set. It’s all very easy and straightforward to use, powerful, and works really well. I would absolutely recommend it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This four piece tool set is a great product we have been using it for home improvements. These came in handy for building our new deck. The tools themselves work really well and are easy to use we really liked that this set came with two battery’s so we can use more than one tool at a time. Overall this is a great combo to add to your tool collection.

Awesome Set

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a fantastic 4 tool combo set. It come with a Drill, Circular saw, reciprocating saw and a light. When I first used the reciprocating saw, I was so disappointed because it wouldn't even cut through a thin piece of wood but I tried charging the battery and it then cut through the wood like butter. I love the fact that the batteries are all interchangeable with every tool. Don't let the fact that they are battery operated scare you off, because they pack a powerful punch! The tools are somewhat smaller than what I am used to, but I actually like it because they are easier for me to work with. Overall, I am very happy with this set and I would definitely recommend it!
