5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it cheaper elsewhere!
This is a great product, worth more than the $49.95 I paid for it, but I was quite disappointed when I was able to purchase a second set at True-Value Hardware about a month later for $29.95
(including a $10rebate). I buy lots of books from Amazon because of their favorable prices and expected the same kind of pricing would be true of their other products. Now I...

2.0 out of 5 stars Very disapointing
You may get 95 pieces but many of them are the same. For example, there are 6 screwdriver bits that you get qty 5 of each - that counts as 30 pieces right there but there are only 6 unique pieces. You can get these bits dirt cheap at any home improvement store by the bucket. They should disclose the exact contents on the ad. Also, there are no masonry bits. It comes...

2.0 out of 5 stars Very disapointing, September 15, 2005
This review is from: DeWalt DW2533 Tradesman Assortment Set with Titanium Drill Bits, 95-Piece (Tools & Home Improvement)
You may get 95 pieces but many of them are the same. For example, there are 6 screwdriver bits that you get qty 5 of each - that counts as 30 pieces right there but there are only 6 unique pieces. You can get these bits dirt cheap at any home improvement store by the bucket. They should disclose the exact contents on the ad. Also, there are no masonry bits. It comes with the rapid changer but most of the drill bits are standard ones that won't fit in the changer. Don't buy this!

1.0 out of 5 stars So so kit with so so quality and so so usefulness, March 3, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: DeWalt DW2533 Tradesman Assortment Set with Titanium Drill Bits, 95-Piece (Tools & Home Improvement)
Although this is touted 95 pieces and may sound a lot, what you get is not really all that useful. There are tons of screwdriver bits, what for? How many of us really switch out screwdriver bits every time we use a different screw? I can understand having 3 each for slotted and philips, but not in the 10s.

Also, the quality seems cheap. Having this for 2 weeks, I already have some rusts on the converter bit, even though this never touched any water. Also, this kit comes with a set of square drive bits but not hex or torx drive bits. HOW OFTEN DO YOU USE SQUARE BOLTS??? The socket selction is minimal, and the drill bits seem cheezy too. This is a $20 set at best, you pay $20 extra for DeWALT logo and a decent case.

I am so glad Amazon reminded me to review this item so I can let it out. Where does one find quality tools nowadays?

5.0 out of 5 stars Dewalt Tradesman set with Titanium drill bits, September 15, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: DeWalt DW2533 Tradesman Assortment Set with Titanium Drill Bits, 95-Piece (Tools & Home Improvement)
I have had a chance to employ several of the new bits shortly after receiving my set. They cut beautifully. I like the countersinking guides as well. Dewalt delivered as promised. I am still awaiting word on my bonus set but I have confidence that it will be worth the wait as well

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst set EVER, April 20, 2006
This review is from: DeWalt DW2533 Tradesman Assortment Set with Titanium Drill Bits, 95-Piece (Tools & Home Improvement)
I'll start with the good. I like the case, and the Philips and Flat head bits were decent. But you can get those in any $10 set. The drill bits were complete garbage. I used the set for 1 week and broke 2 drill bits. They just ripped apart. Now, I had this very very cheap Black and Decker drill set before this, and that lasted over 2 years!

I have been extremely dissapointed by this set and refuse to buy any DeWalt accessories from this point on.

However, I have used the DeWalt compressors and nail guns. I do like those and they seem to build power tools well. However, with sets like this I am extremely surprised how poor the quality of the bits are. Save yourself $40 and buy something else.

This review is from: DeWalt DW2533 Tradesman Assortment Set with Titanium Drill Bits, 95-Piece (Tools & Home Improvement)
It is so convenient. My wife and I both use it for around the house. Along with the DeWALT cordless drill (14.4v) things get done so quickly and easily.

This review is from: DeWalt DW2533 Tradesman Assortment Set with Titanium Drill Bits, 95-Piece (Tools & Home Improvement)
this is the perfect combination pack...my brother kept stealing mine so I had to buy him one for Christmas. Go easy on the black Oxide drill bits though they snap a bit easy...but the the rest of the kit is top notch

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Pleased!, March 6, 2006
This review is from: DeWalt DW2533 Tradesman Assortment Set with Titanium Drill Bits, 95-Piece (Tools & Home Improvement)
I purchased this set for my husband and we are very pleased! I was a little worried doing this based on the reviews this item received, but I'm now grateful. I told him about some of the negative remarks and his opinion seems to differ. I believe this set goes perfectly with the other recently purchased Dewalt tools from Amazon! I also believe there are some "high enders" out there and people who prefer one brand over another, that being said, I know he truly appreciates the quality and dependability of both Dewalt and Amazon!
