I recently purchased a house and wanted to do some simple remodeling and redecorating. Being a 65 year old female, I needed tools and techniques that wouldn't tax my strength, energy and ability. The Black and Decker Project Mate worked great especially in refinishing my kitchen cabinets. I especially appreciated the ability to get into corners with the sander and having the ability to put a new corner sanding strip on without changing the entire sanding strip

The only problem I have found is the screwdriver attachment is a bit cumbersome for tight spots - it worked well putting up curtain rods, but had difficulty putting in child safety locks in drawers and cupboards due to tight spaces.

Sanding and scaping functions well, overall a very nice value.

This tool works great as a drill and screw driver. It has the potential for additional tasks with the included attachments which I have not used. I like that it is versitile, easy to change from bit to driver and a great find at the Amazon price. I recommend this tool for anyone that has to maintain their home.

Like Black & Decker's Cordless Powered HandiSaw, the Alligator, their Cordless Power Scissors and Cordless Screwdriver with Articulating Head, Black and Decker has another winner with this set. The Black and Decker Project Mate is one versatile, compact set of tools! Perfect for those times when I need smaller sized tools to get into confined places. It comes with a tool bag that holds everything in the set with room to spare. I added my B&D Handisaw, so everything I need is in the bag. ~ The Boss

I bought this item to primarily use as a paint scraper. In that function it does very well. I expected it to work in a reciporicating motion but found it works in a vibrating motion (so it doesn't appear to be moving too much). When I first turned it on I was apprehensive, but once I put it to the paint it seemed to work well. The sanding attachment seems to work well also. The drill attachment? I don't know...I haven't used it. I have plenty of other drills I prefer to use.

I got this for my sister for Christmas and she really liked it. She loves to rehab homes in her spare time so I think she will use it alot.

I have used this tool twice since I got it a few weeks ago. I purchased it for myself so I wouldn't be dependent on my husband to lend me his (very heavy, professional) tools or to do simple things for me like drilling holes and putting up screws etc. It is easy to set up and to use and comes with a convenient storage bag that holds the main body and all of the attachments. I haven't used the paint stripper attachment, and am not sure I ever will because I don't think I'll be stripping any paint, but I will probably look into other attachments and my husband has given me a set of different size drill bits that will fit in it and expand the scope of what I can do with it. I recommend this tool for light duty work and it might even be good for heavier projects. My big problem now is keeping my husbands hand off it!

I got this and used it with my daughter and son-in-law. We all found it easy (and fun) to use.

not so powerful for real work. special shaped sand papers are hard to get with relatively lower price.

This is a nice kit for small projects, But any thing of great size I would think about it. The price I bought it at was fair, but after I did buy it I seen it at the B&D outlet cheaper. Still small OK...Big no way.
