I purchased this set and found it to be returns that were not fixed. I have purchaced reconditioned porter cable tools before with no problems. Each component of this Dewalt set had a problem. The drill had a slipping clutch, one battery had a loose clip that would not stay in the tool, the saw clearly had a problem in the gears from the sound.

Selling this item as "reconditioned" is false advertising.

I've been very happy with this purchase. The battery strength has lasted a long time, even when using the circular saw, or the drill and drilling into concrete. I've only had one problem with a battery that died on me, but it was replaced under factory warantee. Apparently that particular batch of bateries did have a defect.

Good set but I have had problems with the batteries that are shipping with these sets. The last 4 DeWalt reconditioned cordless tool sets I have purchased were shipped with batteries dated 2001 and most of those batteries have poor run time and low power. Compared to brand new batteries the difference is noticable. The 1-year warranty will get you a new battery if you find a service center that will replace them without a hassle. My service center does replace them, but they complain about it and I every time I take one in I am afraid they will refuse. For the price difference ($70) I recommend the new set which should come with batteries made in 2003.
