This tool also offers a heavy-duty, 1/2-inch, self-tightening chuck with bit-gripping strength. When placed in hammer drill mode, the tool delivers 8,500 to 34,000 beats per minute for making holes in masonry. In addition, an LED work light near the trigger provides increased visibility when you're working in dark or confined spaces. The tool's well-balanced body and mid-handle, comfortable grip help keep you in control.
Circular Saw with Carbide-Tipped Blade
Able to deliver speeds up to 3,700 rpm for fast rip cuts and cross cuts, the DEWALT DC390 XRP 18-Volt Circular Saw is both versatile and durable. The 0 to 50-degree bevel capacity provides cutting solutions in a broad range of applications. The saw comes equipped with a 6-1/2-inch carbide-tipped blade and offers an impressive capacity at both 90 degrees (2-7/16-inches) and 45 degrees (1-5/8-inches). This means it can cut two-by-fours at a 45-degree angle in a single pass.
Other design highlights include a fan-cooled motor with replaceable brushes and a high-strength, all-metal shoe and upper guard.
Reciprocating Saw with Four-Position Blade Clamp
Quick, versatile, and ready for a range of cutting applications, the DC385 XRP 18-Volt Reciprocating Saw offers a stroke length of 1-1/8 inches, variable speed control ranging from 0 to 3,000 spm, and a four-position blade clamp that allows flush cutting.
This saw offers an anti-slip comfort grip for increased control and reduced user fatigue. Other key features include an adjustable pivoting shoe and trigger lock for repeat cutting. For added convenience, the blade clamp features an easy-to-operate lever that allows for quick, keyless blade changes.
Compact, Heavy-Duty Impact Driver
The DC825 18-Volt Impact Driver is capable of delivering 1,330 inch-pounds of torque. Its variable-speed trigger allows you to select speeds from 0 to 2,400 rpm. Also, the driver delivers 0 to 2,700 impacts per minute for quick results with minimum effort.
In addition, this impact driver's frameless motor features replaceable brushes for improved durability and extended tool life. A durable magnesium gear case and an all-metal transmission also contribute to the tool's durability. Additionally, the driver's heavy-duty impact mechanism directs torque to the fastener without kickback.
Versatile Cut-Off Tool
Delivering up to 6,500 rpm, the DC411 18-Volt Cut-Off Tool makes quick work of a variety of cutting and grinding tasks. Its low-profile gear case and jam-pot design provide precise gear alignment for smooth, quiet transmission and also allow the tool to fit in tight spaces. A quick-change, wheel release provides fast, tool-free wheel removal.
This cut-off tool also features a convenient trigger switch and detachable two-position side handle for comfort and control. This DEWALT cordless cut-off tool includes Type 1 and Type 27 guards.
High-Powered Floodlight with Flexible Neck
Rounding out this Cordless Four-Tool Kit is a powerful DW919 18-Volt Floodlight. This heavy-duty light features an easy-to-replace XENON bulb that can light up any crawl space, electrical panel, or hard-to-see area. The flexible neck can be wrapped around a two-by-four, pipe, or virtually anything else on the job site. Additionally, the light can be pointed at your work area, so you can work with both hands. Run time is approximately three hours on a newly charged 18-volt XRP battery.
XRP Extended-Life Battery System
Two XRP Ni-Cad extended run time batteries keep all of these tools running at optimum levels. They provide up to 40 percent more run time than standard Ni-Cad batteries. Additionally, any XRP battery can be used with any 18-volt DEWALT tool, which allows you to expand your toolkit. Also, the one-hour Ni-Cad charger helps maintain power to your packs all day long.
The Six-Tool Combo Kit features a DEWALT warranty package that includes a three-year limited warranty, a one-year free service contract, and a 90-day money-back guarantee.

Milwaukee 0928-29 28-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless 4-Tool Combo Kit Review
The hammer-drill/driver has a 1/2-inch keyless chuck and a two-speed, variable-speed motor (zero to 600 rpm, and zero to 1,800 rpm) that delivers a pumped-up 600 in./lbs. of torque. The chuck is equipped with carbide jaws that virtually eliminate bit slippage. There’s no hole too large to drill, or screw too big to drive for this portable powerhouse. And when it’s switched to the hammer mode, this tool will quickly bore through the hardest concrete, brick or stone.
The 6-1/2-inch circular saw is arguably the most powerful cordless saw on the market. According to Milwaukee, this saw can crosscut more than 300 pine 2 by 4s on a single charge. It’s equipped with a high-speed 4,200-rpm motor that chews through wood like a corded saw.
The cordless Sawzall recip saw is an ideal tool for remodelers, plumbers, and electricians. When fitted with the appropriate blade, it’ll cut practically any building material, including nail-embedded wood, metal ducts, plastic pipe, steel rods and roof shingles. Its two-speed, variable-speed motor (zero to 2,000, and zero to 3,000 strokes per minute) lets you choose the optimum cutting speed for the material. The saw has an aggressive 1-1/8-inch stroke length, and is equipped with a tool-free blade clamp and keyless adjustable shoe. The work light comes in handy when working in dark spaces. It has a super-bright xenon bulb that runs over five hours on a single charge.
All four pieces come with the patented Clip-Lok System, which allows you to securely hook the tool onto your belt or tool pouch. Besides the four tools, the 0928-29 combo kit also includes two 28-volt lithium-ion batteries, a one-hour charger, saw blades and screwdriver tips, and an oversized canvas storage bag. -- Joseph Truini

Powerful Variable-Speed Motor
Powerful, user friendly, and built to last, the 8200 helps you complete a range of crafting, hobby, and artisan projects.
