Strengths: incredible selection of tools, everything works smoothly and effectively
Weaknesses: tools made from plastic, would be nice if I didn't have to buy drill bits separately
Summary: I moved into my first house not that long ago, and I needed a good set of reliable tools to help me out with a wide variety of household projects. Since I bought these July 4th weekend, I've used the circular saw, drill, and sander to build a nice bookcase and install some chair railing and crown molding. As a hobby, I build wooden ships, and I've used the jig saw to rough out bulkheads and other portions without trouble. The flashlight is bright with a great wide beam perfect for scrounging in the attic or power loss. Haven't used the reciprocating saw or the vac. yet, but it seems like it packs a fairly decent punch.
The batteries hold a charge and remain effective for prolonged use. By the time I've drained one, the other's recharged and ready for use. The kit includes blades for the various saws as well as a nice bonus. Plus, the laser level on the circular saw makes cutting a snap.
This is the first set of power tools I've owned. I've used Black & Decker and Dewalt before. I'd prefer a metal case to the plastic of these, but it's a strong, durable plastic so its not really much of an issue. Given the price difference, the power of the 18-volt batteries and overall usefulness of this set, I couldn't be happier.
