Advice on 18v cordless tool set?

princelake

im rough on my gear but not abusive. the rubber grips were peeling off, the clips to hold the battery in didnt hold half the time and i go to drill something and my battery would go flying out. the batteries were dying fast, the circular saw fell off a shelf in my work van(fell about 16") on to plywood and the metal bottom cracked. they just seemed like junk. the big thing i miss though are the belt hooks sooo nice to have. also in the other hole i put one of these magnets http://www.magnetsource.com/Consumer...hKitsOFFC.html and it would hold a handful of screws.

I have the bosch 4 piece set and it's still good to go 3 years later.
the reconditioned one.

I've bought Ridgid 18V cordless Impact and drill seperate (in the end I've got 5 batteries because of sales and 2 chargers). And have bought corded circular saw and re-cip (Dont have a need for cordless). I've probably spent more money on everything seperate then a cordless set. But you only get 2 batteries a big set and I have 5 so if I were to do the math I probably would have spent the same amount with the amount of batteries i have.

Might help you.
