The saw is pictired with a blade in it... But guess what? It is not included with this set, beware and order one as well, otherwise that project will have to wait.

Both tools arrived looking brand new, no scratches or dings. Panasonic remains on top of the tool heap because of great cordless wood eaters like this combo.

After seeing the glowing review of the battery charge longevity in Fine Homebuilding I decided to stray from the conventional tool manufacturers and buy a panasonic. I was blown away buy the power packed into this compact drill. It seemed like a week before I had to recharge the battery, so I was sold. I ordered the wood combo-kit (in spite of the fact that it only came with the 3.0 amp batteries-not the monsterous 3.5 amp ones provided with the drill alone) and fortunately had read the previous review and bought the blade as well. Perfect out of the box when it arrived I jumped right in and grabbed the saw, eager to start cutting the promised 210 crosscut 2x4s. First thing I realized was that the drill is set up for a left handed user (look closely at the picture and then think of your old skillsaw...). I can't fault the drill and the saw is a great help; you don't realize how often you'd use it until you get one-it's so light you don't even think twice of making the heretofore extremely dangerous overhead cuts. All in all Panasonic has made a fabulous drill (aside from the high pitched whine of the chuck gear-and that really is the only fault of the drill, not bad) but I wish they made a right handed version of the saw.
