Love it, love it, love it! I've had this hand vac for about 6 weeks, and I've used it for everything from getting up cat hair from my sofa, cleaning out pantry shelves, picking up dirt that the cats pulled out of potted plants and this vac hasn't disappointed! Long charge life is also a plus. Haven't found a down-side yet.

This is the second Shark I have purchased and I love it! It is a great hand held vac! It is a must have for moms with small children. It cleans up quickly!

I got this kit from my local walmart for $39 a couple of years ago. The grass shearer is very easy to use and the other tools come handy in various garden jobs. With Amazon one-day sale the price is $22.99 - what a great deal!

I can't believe someone reviews a product without actually owning it, that isn't fair to the product. Anyway, it DOES include a battery (not sure exactly what type) but it's inside of the grass shearer. Just plug it's cable into the A/C and it charges. When it's ready to be used, it works like a charm in hard to reach areas of the garden. For me, I find it especially useful around patio lights that can't be mowed around easily. I'm sure I'll find other areas of the garden too!

The included tools are very nice. They have rubberized grips and look like quality tools. The kneepad could be a little softer, but it'll do. The hand pruner worked perfectly to oust a HUGE weed in the garden. Gloves are decent too.
The carrying bad is large, tough, and better than expected. A great addition!
It even comes with a 30-day no risk satisfaction guarantee. How can you go wrong for $24.99? If you bought all these items seperately, it'd be way more than that. Just a pair of garden gloves can be $15!

We just moved into our first single family home less than a week ago and I took a risk and pre-ordered this Black and Decker gardening set. It's a perfect set. Great for first time home owners like me, who literally don't own one gardening tool! (NONE!) A great set, and I am happy with it!

Happy gardening!

Ok Ok , I admit it...I was a cordless drill junkie. At first it was the 12v high, then the 18v rush!!!!

Well, all went well until that dreaded day when the batteries wouldn't hold a charge anymore. That day when I came to gripes (yes , gripes) with forking out $60 to $85 for batteries that also had poor lifetimes written all over them. Let's face it, the drill gets used maybe once a month and spends the rest of the time being charged with the usual "delta V" or , in the cheaper models, "V threshold" charge techniques. The NiCad batteries just sit there, essentially being topped off when the charge declines. This does not make for a long lifetime for this battery chemistry. (those drills are in a box with their dead batteries...too expensive to throw away!!).

That being said, the VPD850 offers a good quality, medium duty drill that uses inexpensive 3.6v NiCad batteries ($15) that can be used in other BD products. I have found that practically all my heavy work can easily be done using a corded drill (yes, CORDED) with the VPD850 handling the lighter jobs. This is a surprisingly well-designed, good torque 7.2v drill with its only problem being that you can't find it anywhere! I was both amazed and pleased that Amazon markets this. I have looked everywhere. It has plenty of torque and charge for a wide variety of household jobs. Admit guys... do you REALLY need a high-powered cordless drill? Their starting torque is a fraction of a corded drill. And if you do buy a corded drill...don't skimp. My Milwaukee Magnum Hole Shooter has been thru many big jobs and runs like new.

Put this in your toolbox before B&D discontinues it. I can't blame them. It really could take away a chunk out of the lucrative higher voltage drill product line.

It took a lot for me to say this but, LOW VOLTAGE IS GOOD!!

This is an excellent light-duty drill screwdriver. Rated at 7.2 volts, it is not a full time use tool, better for the weekend user or light duty task.

This drill has some very nice features: A light, to help when drilling in dark areas, with a separate on/off switch. The battery level indicator keeps you informed as to the charge left in the batteries. The keyless chuck is almost stanard with home use drills. The two speed operation allows for both a drill speed and a driver speed.

Powered by the VersaPak batteries, which are interchangable with other Black and Decker VersaPak tools, the charging of the batteries with the included charger (I now have several spares). A nice system.

If you need a commercial quality drill that you will use much of your day every day, you need to look at heavier duty products. If you need a drill for home (and a high power screwdriver), this drill, in my opinion can't be beat.

I bought this saw about nine months ago just for kicks since I already had the 24 volt drill, circular saw, and recip saw. I was more than impressed when I got it. It's lightweight and easy to carry, powerful, accurate, and has a good runtime (I quit counting at 75 2x4's ). I use mine for trimming and it is ideal for this. The saw overall is a good value with 2 batteries and a one hour charger. It won't replace a corded miter saw, but it comes pretty close.

I consider myself to be an advanced do it your selfer to let you know where I'm coming from. I've always wanted a compound miter saw, and have been putting it off for one reason or another. Recently I purchased a Bosch 24 volt drill/circular saw combo kit, and noticed this miter saw kit. One of the things I liked was that the batteries were interchangeable. It comes with two, plus the two from my kit, this would enable me to have an infinite supply of power. I checked the fence, and table for square, and they were good to go right out of the box, I was in shock. By looking at the manual, if you had to make an adjustment it didn't look that difficult. If anyone has ever set up a table saw, or radial arm saw you can appreciate this. I charged the batteries and immediately put it to work cutting 2" X 6" rafters for a 12' X 18' shed that I'm working on. Please note that you can't cut more than a 15 degree miter on a 2" X 6". I have to tell you that this saw has power. The fact that it is cordless is a non event. Actually it is an event, I was re-trimming out our bedroom. Since I was cordless I didn't interrupt my homes electrical system, and I didn't have to hear my wife complain about me messing up the TV. The trigger, and safety are comfortable to use. The dust collection system works good enough. The settings are accurate, and easy to read. The safety shield doesn't obstruct your view, and works smooth. The motor brake will stop on a dime, and give you nine cents change. I really like this saw, I feel it will meet or exceed all of your expectations.

Bucket Boss has done it again. Plenty of space for the weekend warrior, or atleast his tools :-).

Only wish the handle and crate were a little more sturdy, but I guess you could step up to their pro version for more sturdiness.

HAVE YOU BEEN THERE WITH 12 DIFFERENT ITEMS NEEDED FOR THE JOB AT HAND AND FILL A BOX WITH ALL THE ITEMS AND THEN CAN'T LIFT IT OR THE BOTTOM FALLS OUT? THIS IS SO SLICK, FILL IT WITH THE TOOLS YOU NEED, ALL IN THEIR OWN POCKETS, NO SEARCHING FOR THEM, AND OFF YOU GO. NOT CLUTTER TO DIG THROUGH TO FIND WHAT YOU NEED. AND YOU CAN KEEP IT PACKED READY TO GO. GOOD IDEA

This is by far the best glue gun I've ever used! It's cordless, and it's fast to heat and cool. It runs on batteries, but it actually heats faster than a corded gun. The glue flows easily, and I can control how much I want to put out easily--thin string vs. big blob. It has a light, which is really helpful, a clear window to see when the glue stick is finished, and a nice stand. There is a power shut-off for when you leave it on but do not use it. I would have paid much more for it!

I am a klutz, and when I knocked the cowling off my side-view mirror, I grabbed the gun to give it a try. It worked beautifully - I was concerned that the excess glue would muck up the paint. No problem because it didn't drip. Nice design, and battery life, in my experience, is longer than promised.

Why didn't anyone think of this before.

I had a great time testing out this cordless glue gun. It has several handy features and works very well.

I was skeptical about the cordless feature, as some in the past have not worked as well as my corded version. Let me explain how the cordless action works on this glue gun. It is very similar to our cordless drill. The battery snaps into the bottom of the handle. To charge, it fits into a small charger which can be kept anywhere near an outlet. The charger flashes a green light while charging and then a steady light once charged. The initial charge took just a couple of hours. The instructions say the battery has no "memory effect" - it can be put back on the charger even if it's not fully discharged.

With the battery, the glue gun weighs less than 12 ounces. It feels very comfortable to hold and use. The glue gun has a trigger so glue only comes out when you need it, and a work light at the tip that illuminates exactly where you are working. The light can be switched from high to low intensity.

There's a clear window on top so you can easily see when to add another glue stick. This gun takes mini-size low temperature or all-purpose glue sticks. Cold Heat also sells glue sticks just for this gun, that they say will maximize battery life.

Right by the opening for the glue sticks, there are two small lights. One is a low battery indicator and the other is the PowerSave indicator. If you do not move the glue gun for eight minutes, it switches to this mode and stops heating the glue. As soon as you move it, it heats up again.

The glue heating time was very quick. The gun is well-made and easy to use. It does not drip when resting, which keeps your workspace much cleaner. The FreeStyle Cordless Glue Gun is packed with features and works great.

I was shocked when I got this combo kit. I was under the impression that all 6 tools in the combo kit would fit in the case. This was not the case. What I got was a standard 4 tool combo kit with a grinder and an angle drill in a seperate cardboard box. There is no case of any kind for the angle drill or the grinder. The drill I could live with but the grinder has 2 seperate guards, a wrench and the different grinding & cutting wheels. I think they should make it clear that there is no storage for those tools. As for the tools they are what you would expect from Dewalt

The is the perfect cordless combo set. The battery life is EXCELLENT and performed a lot longer then I expected. I have used every tools except for the Cut Off Tool which so far took care of business. To everyone out there, because this is a cordless set, this combo is meant to do small to medium projects.

It was recieved as new as can be. I am happy with the product so far.

these metal cutting blades are trully fantastic; I recently replaced over 200 sections of half inch shedule 4o pipe at busch gardens with one blade (thats 2 cuts per fence section). the blade is still cutting as well as it did new. The blade could be sharpened if needed. the blade saved at least 8 man hours in removing the bad sections.This more than paid for itself that one day. In my opinion and experience it is the quickest and easiest way to cut metal, beats abrasives, hands down.cuts are effortless and bur free with no sparks. its all gravy now..

This impact driver does everything my 12v Makita did at a fraction of the cost. It feels nice and substantial, not cheap by anymeans. you would think for the money that it would. My only gripe is the battery life. It is aweful!! The 2.6ah NiMh in the Makita would run forever, this one goes limp embarassingly fast on the jobsite. 2.0ah NiCd is sad. Other than that it is highly recommended. Nothing at Home Depot can touch this in the $129 range.

i've worked with the 18v dewalt and a 14.4 makita and this 12v bosch is more powerful that both, the makita's battery outlasted the bosch but the bosch is more compareable to the 18v dewalts battery life, belt clip and led light are good ideas too. would buy it again in a heartbeat, maybe the 14.4 next time...

This driver is amazing. I am a contractor in Delaware and have used many types of drills and drivers. I have been using a 18v bosch drill for about 2 years and love it. I bought the bosch b/c I use almost all bosch tools now and am very pleased with both their performance and with the customer service. With this drill driving lag bolts and heavy fasteners has always been a chore. The torque on the 18v drill requires you to really have a good grip on the tool when driving lags. With this 12v driver you can drive lags alll day one-handed. Almost none of the torque is transferred to your wrist and it drives 1/4 by 3in lags into 2by4 in 2sec with no effort on my part. The only downside to this is the level of noise (hammer mechinism is loud by its nature), but if you are working for a prolonged period on a job site you should have some type of hearing protection anyway. This tool is the best thing to hit the market since the cordless drill.

i have had this pouch for over 2 years and it has held up great and after a few weeks it was broken in really nice. my problem with it is that after this much time the pockets have softened and my tools fall out whenever i trip or just lean over pretty far... i think part of the problem is that the pockets are just alittle to shallow. if they were an inch deeper i think it would solve this problem. if you think about it for ~$30 i got a pouch that lasted 1.5 year with out any problem. i have switched over to a dewalt technicians pouch and a CLC nail bag b/c the pockets are alittle deaper... however the CLC nylon bag(~$20) doesn't seem to be built as tough - when it wears out i will probably go back to this bag.

As a contractor, I depend on my tools and the things that carry them for a living, day in and day out.

This Dewalt ballistic nylon pouch cost about double what I would've paid for some generic pouches at Home Depot and Lowes but has made my job a whole heck of a lot easier. For one thing, it's top quality ballistic nylon is definitely thicker and better constructed, and its roomy size, double front nail pockets, and well-thought out tool slots and hammer loops make both organizing and accessing my tools a breeze. Plus it comes in a professional-looking and attractive black and yellow color, much better than the random reds greens and browns you find in most hardware stores.

Nylon is also much better than leather in that it will not sweat and stain your pants; I've having to throw away a fairly expensive Craftsman leather pouch because it always turned my pants brown!

I'm not nearly as sold on their power tools, but their accessories (I also got the drill holster and driver guide) have been more than worth their premium prices!

Thanks DeWalt, for making my job easier. With the simplicity and durability of your entire line of hand held tools of the trade, I can now match them with your new tool pouches. A great idea from a great company.
