I don't have this kit. I have the hammer drill and recip saw that I bought in 1996. I use them several times a week in my work as a self employed handyman.The tools are phenomenal. The drill can break your wrist if you hit something that stops the bit. You'll find more uses for a recip saw than you thought possible once you no longer need to plug it in. They run and run and run. After 10 years I had them refurbished at the Dewalt shop for about $90 each and they're like new tools.The downgrade is for the batteries. The NiCads supplied don't have all that much capacity and succumb to the reduced charging effect even if the full discharge feature of the charger is used conscientiously. I went to 3rd party NiMH batteries. However, given the money you save with this package discount you can buy 3 or 4 DeWalt Lion batteries and a charger and still come out ahead.
