A Must-Have Tool for Tradespeople

As a contractor, I have used this compact worklight extensively on various projects, and it has never let me down. Through trial and error, I found that the light is bright enough to illuminate dark spaces, and the reciprocating function helps me see everything in detail. The ergonomic grip ensures a comfortable hold, even when working for long hours. However, the battery life could be better, and I have had to replace it frequently.

Pros
  • Compact, reciprocating function, ergonomic grip
Cons
  • Poor battery life

Poor warranty best on drill/driver

The tools are excellent, the batteries are good. But the charger does not charge. Contacted Bosch a week ago and still no reply. The warranty department looks really bad

Pros
  • Handy 18v cordless 4-tool combo set includes two impact wrenches in one socket, one lighter drill/driver, compact reciprocating saw, bright work light, two compact batteries and charger
Cons
  • Available in white only

Built to last in power tools

Everything works great, the screwdriver is reliable and will last a long time 4A battery. I put a whole stack of screws on one load. The LED light will likely last around 40 hours on a single charge. I still have to use a punch to remove rusty nuts, although it takes a bit of time to get the screws into the wood. The hacksaw empties fairly quickly, cuts very well with minimal vibration.

Pros
  • 2-in-1 general purpose impact driver and impact wrench design with adaptable power slot hex shank and 1/2" socket drive chuck
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
