I am a plumber/pipefitter by trade and this is best set i've laid my paws on. Very rough on my tools and these have held up great. Solid tools and top-notch torque. I have had several cordless tools and none have compared. Very happy with them:)

These tools are a great value,especially when you fingure in the free promotional tool Milwaukee gives away if you buy the kit before July 31, 2009. The skill saw is the best sordless saw ever, as is the sawzall. I've had a corded milwaukee sawzall since 1978, and the 28 volt cordless is a much better tool. The hammer drill is great, but heavy. I may end up buying the 18 volt hammer drill as it will handle most light jobs. The 28 vlt charges, will also charge the 18 volt batteries. After buying the kit, I went to the Milwaukee web site, and they were having a promotion and for free they sent the 28 volt 1/2 inch drive impact wrench. This wrench is the real thing, will replace my 1/2 air drive.

I had a set of 18V DeW*lt prior to this. They were stolen from my truck. So I started looking around for a replacement set. Like a light from above an email from Milwaukee arrived in my inbox three days later ( I had purchased and registered a Milwaukee router). The email announced the soon to arrive 28V line. It was soon so I waited just a week or so and then pre-ordered a set. Well as luck would have have it, things were delayed a bit. Apparently a battery factory burnt down so my order was delayed a few weeks so I managed. When it arrived I was very pleased with the set. Even the light is very useful. I almost never have to use a trouble lamp any more this thing runs forever. My DeW*alt one with run down after just a short time. They could upgrade this to LED, this would be nice but not necessary. The charger is snappy, usually has a battery ready before you expect it. The battery gauges are good too so that if one crawls across an attic or will be away from the charger you know what you have with you. I've beat the heck out of the drill. So far the only weakness is that either the motor's rotor/contacts OR the trigger have probably pitted a bit. There are times where the variable speed needs a kick start. But I can't complain. When it gets really bad I'll see about repairs. These tools are so very close to and in several cases exceed tools with cords. They are not for everyone I suppose as they are not light but they keep on giving. So thank you to the scumb bag that stole my DeW*lk kit. In the long run i'm better off.
