Bosch CPK60-18 18-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless 6-tool Combo Kit  Product Reviews

"Let me start by saying these are the best tools I have ever owned. The drill has so much power that you have to set the clutch on about 7 or it is very easy to drive a screw so deep you snap the head off. The jig saw is top of the line with all the different speeds it can handle anything from aggressive cuts in plywood to precision non maring cuts in laminent. The planer is a full size planer that you can adjust witch side the wood chips come out of. This is a plus for those tight spots and when you are using the dust bag. At first I was concerned that the circular saw might be a little under powered (It is a nearly full sized circular saw with an 18 volt battery) But the first time I used it I was amazed by the power. The recipricating saw is the best I have seen. The batteries do infact charge in 30 minutes and last nearly twice as long as my Craftsman 19.2 volt stuff. I would have to say the most impressive feature of these tools is the customer service. When I called to register for the warranty the phone was answered on the first ring by an English speaking lady (No overseas call center) who was very knowledgeable about her products. The whole thing was done in 3 minutes. I have used the warranty once I broke the foot plate on the jigsaw (my fault I was abusing the tool) I called the warranty number and they sent me a new footplate the next day. They didn't even ask how I did it. I would recomend these tools to anyone!"

"A great value for a good product. I'm very pleased with the tools included in the kit."

"These are used daily from March to December, 1 year old. 1. I signed up for their pro program and submited for the free battery. Glad I did, the battery was the new blue tooth and it does last longer. The warranty program is fantastic, those complaining missed the boat. New Tool 2 day air no charge - and it was my fault I replaced it, they didn't care. No Hassels ! 2. I didn't expect to use the planer much, but once I did - Love it. Use it a lot. The Jigsaw works great especially w/bosch blades,the best. I've lap cut PT4x4's with it 3. The drill does not have the 3rd speed of a Dewalt and is heavier. But mine has survived a 1+ story fall, just like the add and survived, still going strong. The clutch, & hammer setting working fine. (& I can still relace it) 4. The saws, the circular saw I had to get use to handle position, a little different, but thats the only fault I found. Battery powered saws you need to keep a sharp blade with the thin kerf blades, cuts very accurate. The recipricating saw does drain a battery. Mine does have 2 stroke length options. I've used it for wrecking old decks to pruning a tree. 5. TRYing to figure out how to fit the tools in that bag was a chalenge. Just took some work, but carry all tools w/charger & 3 batteries,framing square,xtra blades for all saws & bits. Just need a back brace & a counter weight in the other hand to carry. And not very far."

"I was under the impression Bosch made good quality tools. Bosch from my recent experience has VERY poor qualtiy control. The jig saw in this set worked twice (on thin plywood) and now just smokes and really heats up the battery. The flashlight never worked. The drill has been working OK, but the chuck is pretty poor, the bits tend to rotate if the bit just binds a little."
