This is an excellent kit , with an excellent drill and saw. The tools a a bit heavy ,but that's the price for heavy duty equipment. Holds charge well during hard work. Recharging is well under the spec. 1 hour. Love the set and would buy again in a beat. To make it better Amazon had a great price.
One of the best drill/recip. saw

Quick summary:
br /Drill:
br /Pro: Plenty of power,
br / long extended run time
br /
br /Con: Heavier than other 18V professional Drills,
br / Direction switch too close to index finger,
br /
br /Reciprocating Saw:
br /Pro: Quick blade change
br / Again, battery gives it long run time.
br /Con: Lacks the power of corded saw, as with other cordless tools.
br / The blade guard at times slips with vibration.
br /
br /More details:
br /I got tired of cheap drills running out of charge driving long screws. So, time for a new dril. The modern cordless drills are "disposable", in that when the batteries die, its better to replace the drill, since the cost of replacing the batteries equal the the cost of whole combo set. Given that I decided to get the best drill/saw combo, I decided to get the best set with the best battery available. Milwaukee seems to have problem with their batteries, I have had problems with Home Depot home brand tools. The DeWalt units are OK but battery run time is limited. And the comfort of tool is to me less than Panasonic. I have not used Bosch, so can't compare run time against Bosch. Again, from the battery perspective, Panasonic has the best batteries. Panasonic have their own research and manaufacturing facilities for batteries.
br /
br /However, if you want cordless jig saw, Panasonic does not have that option. So, if you must have the Jig saw, you must choose DeWalt or Bosch. Panasonic tools are limited to Drill/Circ. Saw/Recip. Saw.
br /
br /I had chance to get Panasonic drill/saw combo with three batteries for the price of three Panasonic batteries. So, my purchase was made as "disposable" purchase with three batteries.
br /
br /Very good tool overall,.... reason for not giving a 5 star is that there is no perfect tool.
