Power Tools Reviews

I was a little concerned if I should purchase a reconditioned product but was delighted when it arrived.I inspected it throughly and could not find anything wrong with it,It didn't even have a scratch on it.If no one had told me it was reconditioned I would have thought it new brand new from the factory.

I just received my order of the "factory rebuilt" 18V XRP Drill/Driver / Circ Saw combo pack and am much relieved. I was very worried about what condition a "rebuilt" set of tools would look like. Upon opening the box, everything looks completely new. There was one tiny scratch on the decal of the circular saw, but appears to have been caused by the inside of the case it was shipped in. I just completed charging the batteries and function testing the tools. Everything works as advertised. Time will tell how well the XRP batteries hold up compared to my old standard Dewalt batteries on previous tools. The one difference (and I don't remember seeing it in the add) is that instead of the 3 year factory warranty and a 90 day money back guarantee on new tools, the rebuilts have a 1 year factory warranty, and no 90 day money back. I am a Dewalt fan and have a wood shop full of them, so am familiar and fully comfortable with the durablility and power of them. These are the first 18V cordless I have purchased (everything else is either 12V or corded), and it does not look like I will be disappointed.

What a deal! I just received my Dewalt 24v recip. saw and I'm happy with my purchase. While I haven't had a lot of time to put it to work, I did get the opportunity to cut through a few 4xs and 2xs. This saw is fast and accurate. The cuts were flat and the speed/torque was, perhaps, a bit better than my low-end Dewalt corded recip saw. The heft and construction are superior to Dewalt's 18v line and just about any other cordless I've tried (Milwaukee & Ryobi).

Be advised that Dewalt has just introduced a new battery and charger for the 24v line. The new kits weigh in at [the price] and come with two batteries instead of 1. For the price, however, this 24v reconditioned is a steal. I've also been assured by Dewalt that the new batteries will work with the old tools. They stated that the old charger will work with the old batteries, but I'm not sure if there's any penalty by not having a "fan-cooled" charger with the new batteries. These batteries offer 1.7 amp hours... The new 24v batteries offer longer run-time (~2.4 amp hours) and a longer recharge-life due to the built-in fan.

Aside from the batteries, the Dewalt techs assured me that the two saws are comparable. They said the only tool that has been changed is the 24v hammer drill (the new model has three speeds instead of two). For me, the 24v reconditioned is a good deal since I can use the battery from my 24v circ saw (also a great tool). If I was only planning on buying one Dewalt tool, I'd consider the new kit with two batteries. Pros might consider the two-battery kit as well.

I purchased this product and its a bargain for its price and in excellent condition. My coworkers all asked me where I got it and now they have bought it here on Amazon as well.

for the money I doubt you can find a drill with this many amps and torque. The thing I really appreciate is the AntiLock Control. I've been on top of a 12' ladder drilling 1/2" steel and when the drill bit gets caught there is no problem with it kicking me off into the air. One of the best satety features I've seen. If the job kills this one, I plan to get another of the same.

I can't tell this reconditioned screwdriver from a new one. It looks new and functions great.

Just the correct hp. I needed for my workshop. Nice and substantial.

Straight out of the box, I used this unit for 4 hours straight, two days in a row. Fits well in the hand, does a good enough job collecting dust in its bag. When the bag is full, you simply take it off, turn on the Shop-Vac and stick the nozzle into the bag. The bag is designed to fit perfectly onto a Shop-Vac hose ensuring all dust particles are promptly sucked out. Reattach the bag to the sander and you're ready to go.

To clarify a misconception I had: You cannot attach a Shop-Vac hose directly to the unit (in lieu of the dust bag). At first I was disappointed that the unit didn't have this feature, but after many hours of use, I now see why - Moving the sander around dexterously would be seriously inhibited with a not-so-flexible Shop-Vac hose trailing behind.

This sander has plenty of power and combined with some coarse sanding pads, I had no trouble taking my painted/varnished kitchen cabinets down to the bare wood.

My sander showed no signs of being a refurbished unit at all. Comes with a hard-shell case that has some storage for sanding discs. The hook and loop sanding discs are incredibly convenient and can be removed and replaced in seconds.

Use shop glasses and a dust mask when using any orbital sander.

Definitely an excellent product. It is quickly becoming one of my favorite tools in my collection!

Product looked brand new and works flawlessly.

I was amazed how easy the Dewalt scrollsaw is to use. It is very comfortable, easy to set up blades and very quiet. After using several other saws in the past, I am totally delighted with my purchase
