Summary: New battery technology promising.
... I bought this starter set because I was curious about the new battery technology from A123, based on new, nanoscale material initially developed at MIT. I am quite amazed at the power of these batteries. The torque for this little screwdriver is good enough to handle most home oriented tasks. The cut saw handled 1 x 2 wood with ease. The light is OK -- nothing special. My only real issue -- the design is such that you can insert the battery backward without realizing it. The batteries should be keyed in such a way

Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-11-04 Summary: 6 2x4s to warm up the NiMH battery ... With the short throw & small size I bought this to get nails that are in spaces too tight to reach with a sawsall. With the battery recommendation to NOT keep it on the charger (you'll ruin it!), and that it will achieve full battery power after several uses, it sounds like this is a NiMH battery, not the usual NiCad or Lit folks are used to for a power tool. NiMH needs "special care" which ARE in the instrucions (yes! they are!) to get it started working well & long term. But they are weird if you aren't used to them. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-25 Summary: Cuts drywall and molding like a champ! ... My dad gave one of these saws to me for Christmas 2007. I agree it will not cut hardwoods or 2x4s, but it is great for trimming drywall and trim molding. I can cut holes for electrical outlets or ceiling light fixtures in less than 30 seconds. Because of the fast strokes, the mess is minimal -- I usually hold a box lid under the cutting area to catch the dust. While I love this saw for drywall and trim molding, it is lousy when used for cutting vinyl siding, 2x4s and 1" or greater thinkness hardwoods. It bounces like ...more
Editorial Reviews ... Review | It couldn’t be any easier than this: a cordless hand saw that cuts wood, metal, drywall, plastic, rope and more. We like it for its grab-it-and-go convenience and because it doesn’t balk at wood that’s up to an inch thick. It’s perfect for taming overgrown bushes and stray branches, but it also makes quick work of PVC pipes, vinyl gutters, wire shelving, wallboard, craft projects and a hundred other things. It’s small and light enough for even the most petite among us to grasp it firmly with...more

Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-30 Summary: Very Nice for a Small Yard ... This Trimmer is perfect for a small yard. Nice to not have to have a cord and gas cans oil etc. The battery snaps right into place and you have two of them so you never run out of power. I highly recommend this Black and Decker Trimmer. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-28 Summary: At least as good as an electric trimmer ... After having a few gas trimmers which would get to be hard starting after a year or two and a host of the 120 volt AC trimmers with cords, I decided to try something new. It works as well as the others even though it is battery powered. I can trim my whole yard in 20 minutes on just one battery with plenty of power left over. It does not do as good a job of edging as a 4HP edger with a steel blade but it will work well for trimming between serious edging. If I have one complaint it is that it is unclear how to treat ...more

[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-08-13 Summary: Nifty ... Using the drill for allaround tasks about the house. I like the auto (keyless) chuck and the clutch. There is a funny noise when the drill starts to spin up, which I actually got to like as I have some feedback when the drill starts to go as you keep squeezing the trigger. One thing I dislike very much are the lights on the charger (I know this is a drill review but the charger is part of the "family.") The lights (LEDs) are bright red and they flash during charging as if something bad is about to happen. Okay, so ...more
