I already had the drill but I bought this combo to get the saw knowing that the extra money was well worth it for a second drill. The saw is great ... 6 1/2" blade will let you cut a 2x4 at 45 and I love the drill (great balance between weight and power.) I had previously used this drill to build a large deck and it was a pleasure to use in comparison to the 18v DeWalt that I had borrowed (to have two drills for the project.) In my book you can't go wrong with this kit!

Imagine, building a deck without using extension cords.....
I just finished building a deck with this combo and I must say that it was a pleasure using these quality tools. Using the driver to run 3 1/2" decking screws through the 2x's that I just cut with the 6 1/2" saw was a dream. The drill has power to spare and the saw cut 2x's all day without a problem. It was great to be able to cut 2x's at 45 degrees with this saw. I was totally amazed at how quiet the saw is (compared to electric saws). The saw base is extremely stable and smooth. Having the sawblade on the left made it easier to make cuts. The flashlight is very bright. The tools were comfortable to use all day long. I highly recommend this Makita kit!!

This is a well priced and versatile "toy" for boys. The Drill is semi-pro quality, from the keyless chuck to the adjustable screw torque. The saw, for it's size, fits where a big saw doesn't with good power. The saw trigger is a little funky, the pulling back rather than depressing took some getting used to.

My Favorite is the flashlight. It reminds me of my 4 cell Mag Light, only cheaper on batteries. The Flashlight alone is worth it. Well, if you throw in the drill and saw.
