Product Description

We did a double-take when we saw the price on this incredible set of tools. It’s everything you need for home do-it-yourself projects and woodworking, but Delta’s quality makes us think even the contractor couldn’t go too far wrong with this set as a back-up. You could build a deck or frame a room with nothing but the tools in this kit and a level (which, if anyone from Delta is reading this, would be the perfect addition). Applause to Delta for wrapping each tool handle in a nice ergonomic grip material. Aside from that, here’s what we particularly like about each tool: The circular saw is easy to maneuver, not cumbersome and clunky like others we’ve handled. There’s a nice, clear line of sight at the cutline, and kudos to Delta for including a carbide blade rather than high-speed steel—-a nice touch. The pitch of the front handle gave us a great, secure grip. The jigsaw blade changes easily, the trigger’s comfortable and there’s plenty of power. The cordless sander feels great in hand, and we can imagine the projects we could take that to without dragging an extension cord. The 24-position clutch drill, which will probably be the most-used tool of the bunch, has great balance and a comfortable grip. It’s relatively compact, making it perfect for those with smaller hands. Convenient little bit holders right on board, too. The flashlight’s a fine little worker, but there are no outstanding features we could see. But the brad nailer, for us, is the cream of this crop. It’s the answer for those who’ve always wanted a nailer but didn’t want the requisite compressor, too. It’s reliable, powerful and heck, we’ll admit it, fun to use. We like the range of brads it’ll drive, too. This is a fantastic collection of tools you just can’t go wrong with.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST CORDLESS TOOL SELECTION EVER!, February 24, 2004

As you may know I am a tool columnist for two boat-building magazines. I have now been using this excellent tool set for over three months reviewing it. It offers the widest selection of important tools of any cordless set I have ever seen. A person could buy this set of tools and with a few other necessary measuring tools completely build a boat. There are SS brads on the market so corrosion would not be a problem.

The most exciting tool is the brad gun in this set. It can use brads from 5/8" of an inch on up to 1 ¼" and is very reliable shot after shot. The tools in this set form a natural progression to a finished product. They are well thought out and each tool works very well. I am no entry-level wood worker and I find this set to be remarkable. Delta has finally done something no other cordless tool manufacturer has thought of and this is their very first cordless set! BRAVO!

The only way they could have topped this set is to include a small shop vacuum. Hopefully other companies are taking notes. This is a great cordless tool set for anyone with ability.

This review is from: Delta CL180WWK 18 Volt Cordless Woodworkers Six Pack Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

Just picked this up (at a local store) as a back-up set for my Porter Cable kit which is running out of batteries and I'm not sure that I want to fork out the money for new 19.2v replacements! Anyway, I bought this set for less than 2 new PC batteries. Not expecting much, the quality of the Delta kit skocked me! The plastic is high grade, the blades mount easily (saws) with included hex wrenches, the drill is powerful and feels good, and overall I am quite impressed. I highly recommend this set to any home owner or light duty handyman. A couple of gripes: 1. you have to remove the battery from the drill to get it in the case (this is your most used tool folks) and 2. the kit should come with 3 batteries. I haven't seen extra batteries for sale yet so that might be an issue down the road. Overall very nice.

I picked this up at a closeout sale about a year ago and have been very satified with the quality and value of this set. I've dropped the drill/driver many times and it still functions beautifully. The batteries keep a good long charge, often last several days with medium usage and several weeks while not in use. I've used every tool in it numerous times on home improvement and woodworking projects. The batteries are heavy, as expected for 18V, but the tools are ballanced well with the batts attached. The sander is the best cordless I've ever used, including some fairly expensive ones. My only complaint is that the flashlight doesn't put out much light for 18V, and is very awkward if you're trying to carry it around. Really, though, the set would be more than worth it w/o the flashlight, so it's a pretty minor annoyance.
