I became a Makita drill fan after working on a volunteer construction project. There were several brands of drill at the site, but the lone Makita seemed to always be the right one for the job -- no matter what the job was. However, I owned a power drill and only needed a jigsaw and small sander when I went tool shopping. But when I saw this kit, I knew it was a good value and that you could never have too many power drills....
I was even more impressed with this kit after it arrived. The tools did what I need them to do. Furthermore, the case is nicely designed: the instructions and sandpaper have their own slot in the carry case and its easy to put the tools back and get them out (important to me, because i don't have much space in my studio and need to store all the tools in the case when not in use.)
As for the tools, I have been very satisfied with all of them. In particular, I was impressed with the jigsaw. I was expecting to have to sacrifice "perfectly" straight cuts (like you get on a mitre or table saw.) But I easily cut a shelve down to size, with only the straight line I scored in the wood to go by.
All you need is safety goggles, some drill bits and clamps and you could tackle an endless number of weekend projects with this kit. (BTW, if you are new to buying tools, don't be turned off by this being a corded set; unless you won't have easy access to an outlet, you will get more power for your money and not have to stop in the middle of a project because you forgot to recharge the batteries :))

Makita tools are built to last, and the three tools in this combo pack are no exception. These three tools are the ones I reach more most often, and will do the bulk of home improvement work. The carrying case is a nice bonus, and you will save money over buying these essential tools individually.
