5.0 out of 5 stars Better and Better, August 2, 2005

I recently purchased this kit for work as a suppliment to the other dewalt 18 volt tools that I have. I have always been pleased with the performance of my dewalt tools, but when I got this particular drill I was thrilled to see that they had made the bit storage that is on the tool big enough to accomidate two 3 inch magnetic extensions. With this addition I can keep the bits that I use the most right on my drill and not have to always keep a box of tips close.
I am glad to see that dewalt is continuing to update their products.

5.0 out of 5 stars combo kits versus buying separate, March 21, 2006

This review is from: DEWALT DC988CA 18-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless 2-Tool Combo Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

Although I am very pleased with Dewalt, and Amazon's prompt service, I can't help to mention that Dewalt combo kits may be more expensive than buying separate. You see, each Dewalt battery costs approximately $80, and the chargers are about $70. In the combo kits you get two batteries and one charger. If you were to buy separately, you would get two batteries and a charger for each tool. If you add that up and compare to the price of a combo kit, you might make out better buying separately. Just a thought.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent kit, no secure storage, July 15, 2006

This review is from: DEWALT DC988CA 18-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless 2-Tool Combo Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

This is a very versatile tool. The drill will drive tapcons into concrete just as well as a corded drill and the cordless sawsall is convenient and handy. I would have given the combo kit 5 stars except for the case that the tools come in. There isn't any secure storage. I transferred all of my bits from my old Dewalt drill into the new case. I then stood the case up only to hear all of my paddle bits fall to the bottom of the case. If they would change the case to have secure storage as they do in the drill only case, this would deserve 5 stars.
