Review on 🔋 DEWALT DC4KITA 18V Ni-Cad Cordless Power Tools Set by Charles Collier

***REVISED 9/11/06*** (Also see DC988 drill bit info below) This set is worth at least $500 + taxes would pay at the store . If you don't mind your stuff looking a bit shabby (witch, they will over time once you've actually really used them), look at a good deal here. In the world of new construction, this set is invaluable. You have a drill that is also a lightweight impact drill and has a lot of torque. I know since I used it to drill a ¾ inch through a 2/4 hole with a bit. multiple times. There was still enough juice left to fit about 80 electrical devices before the bat announced a demise. (and this bat was at least a year old and used at least every other day of the week). And the hammer drill is perfect for brick finishing or maternity jobs. My only issue is the weight, the previously mentioned would be a killer on the wrist/ and if this type of work was done on a daily basis. 14.4v would be perfect if it had the life of a bat and the raw power I sometimes need. (as well as not much) and neat work only when I was in a hurry, somewhere far away or found I needed to chop some wood upon arrival and I didn't want to or just didn't want to get the cord for someone else just to cut some pieces of wood. It's not something I would rely on for big jobs (because it sucks the bat dry). very quickly), like cutting 2x6 planks off the edge of an 800 SF soundboard, or cutting 40.45 or so 2x4 "blocks" (that's when you break wired instruments). It has enough power and bat life to do what seems possible. The light is great, a heavy 18 volt bat will (usually) keep it on the ground, but it's not too heavy or bulky to throw down pipes, cables or 4 inch ducts under the house. The dose doesn't stay in place either. Saber saw, like any other, quick change lock up or down, tooth alignment. It has good blade action and a good powerful motor. As long as the bit holds up it will do anything a corded tool can do. What I love most is knowing that it's 100% true that Dewalt tools are built to last. Also, they appear to be sealed well since I have used this model of drill bit countless times to drill small holes in brick and mortar. I once cleaned the owner's drill and found some thick black smelly grease that needed replacing but nothing else in the gears. Used it almost every day of the week for a good 6 months or so. after that and still no problems. *** REVISION *** (The drill wobble was a result of the edge rolling/forming on the spindle, not the chuck. The issue was resolved after ordering and installing a new spindle, see drilling diagram on Dewalt website and contact the local parts dealer for a solution. ). I have purchased and worn this set since October 24, 2006, when it got here it looked almost 100% new. I only found a few small nicks and a few blemishes/fading. But hey I don't care, yes they work great! I opened up the drill and the gears are not new, but are defiantly in good condition (no "smearing" or anything).
