This is JUNK. A 3-5 hour charger? Where is the 1hr charger. You get 2 battery's, 'cause they're only 1.3 amp-hour. This is a toy for the weekend handyman that doesn't want to work. Even the Ryobi drill has a 1hr charger, and you get a 2yr warranty. Now, if this was $19.95, it would be an OK buy. PASS on this if you need a real drill.

Umm #3, that real drill isn't attainable at $60 either, though closer to $100 the Ryobis would still be better for a homeowner with light jobs.

Does this come with a free helmet? Stick to motorcycles guys.

Let the good times roll!

very nice price

This one used to sale at Costco for $39.99 last year. The battery charger was recalled due to fire. I bought one and got recall mail from Costco. I called CSR for charger replacement but they did not send me the right battery charger that fits within the tool box. I called to complaint and they told me to keep the tool and refunded me full price minus tax.

I hate to say it, but these tools are junk. Kawasaki might make good bikes, but they've lent their brand to a line of cheap department-store tools that just don't stand up.

I wouldn't even give these to a homeowner who doesn't do much work, because after a few years of light or no use, even if the tool hasn't failed yet, the battery will be worthless and unlike a bigger brand with a larger product line, it'll be hard to get replacement battery packs a few years down the road.

Pass on this. Either get the $20 junk drill from Harbor Freight, which will last just as long and you know it's garbage when you're done (please recycle the battery!) or spend a bit more and step up to the Ryobi or something. Those are cheap tools but they're respectably made, well supported, and common enough that spare parts are easy to come by.

POS set. Bought this set a Osh months ago. Absolute POS drill driver. Batteries work, but suck, the light is the most useful item in the kit. Don't waste your money. My drill is already broken, pos. I just bought one of the Hitachi's Ben posted.

#10 The Hitachi is only a 1/4 in capacity.

I own one of these. I bought it at Costco's outlet store in san diego call GTM. It was normally $30 and it was on sale for $20. Couldnt pass it up for that price and so far has been a great drill set for the price. Only downfall is it's weight and bulkiness.

As someone who owns a $20 Harbor Freight drill I'd have to disagree. The $20 Harbor Freight drills are decidedly worse than this, they're like a toy shaped like a drill. However, even so I find that my Harbor Freight drill is handy, I leave a 1/4" extension in it and switch the bits as a drill driver. It is sturdy enough for that light task and it means I don't have to change bits on my better drills, I can leave it at that task. It does that nowhere near as well as the Makita 9.6V I used years ago doing construction work (HVAC installation, a few hundred screws minimum every day) but the Makita was over $200 at the time.

Personally I find nothing takes the place of a corded 1/2" drill with a 2nd handle on it. Having one of those beefy enough to double as an impact wrench, it greatly reduces concerns about what your cordless can do, because most jobs where you ... [Truncated]
