I got that combo with porter cable. The pancake compressor, finish nailer, brad nailer, and stapler last year for Christmas. Never had a problem with them and believe it or not I use those more than a framing nailer. Probably because I dont have a framing nailer, but still, I dont frame. I repair antiques part time for my mothers business and she pays well, even after 10 years of doing it! I just have grown up tools now that make it 10x easier!

Haha, I was holding back to see who got it!

Yea, the combo kit saved a lot of money. The DeWalt tools, unfortunately, do not save money! Almost every tool I own except for my miter saw is DeWalt. I hate having like 4 different batteries and such for my tools so Im stuck with DeWalt!

I would love lithium batteries but I just dont use them everyday and more importantly I dont get to write them off! The old batteries will do me fine til they go to crap on me. I definitely wish I wouldve bought the impact before my right angle drill. Stupid decision on my part. Oh well. Maybe one day Ill be able to get it!

next time maybe. It's not worth it unless you use it everyday imo, very pricey. But they will run and run and run on a single charge. But really, if it wasnt for everyday use, I wouldnt spend the money.

So far so good for me but they do not see daily use either.

One of those darn life lessons. It rarely pays to cheap out on tools. Ask me how I know that!

I don't really care for dewalt tools
my kid gave me an 18v set bout same time I bought my PC 19.2 set
my 14.4 PC drill had more power than the dewault 18v and the saw was worthless and the batteries have long been dead and the 19.2 PC is still going strong
