***This review is based on only the drill and battery pack***
Bought only the 19.2v drill from Costco some time back, thinking the Kawasaki name should be good for something, and I wanted a lightweight auxillary drill so I can minimize bit swapping. Soon after I bought it, the company (Alltrade, not Kawasaki) issued a battery recall notice. No problem, as my serial numbers were not listed.
However, in actual use, the drill is very underpowered, even with 19.2 volts. It can not drive a 1/2 inch spade through a 4×4 pressure treated post. I ended up finishing the job easily with my trusty DeWalt (rated at 14.4 volts), which cuts into the material like butter (literally!).
Then there’s the issue of battery life. I expected way better than what I got, even though I knew it wasn’t a professional-level power pack. The batteries have to be charged very frequently, even with light use.
The drill is light and is comfortable to hold and use, if a bit large, and the chuck is wobble-free, making it good for precision work. But the drill is not appropriate for heavy-duty use or for those occasions when you really need the extra power or torque.
Most disappointing was the fact that, even with light use, the drill failed completely within months (probably due to a faulty trigger assembly).
In sum, this set of tools will likely disappoint, as most people will use the drill most often. Based on my experience with the drill and battery system, I would not recommend this set. You will be way better off spending more and getting a good combo from one of the established tool companies (DeWalt, Makita, etc.). It can be much more expensive ($400 on up for similar tools), but in the end you’ll have something that’ll last and get the job done with less frustration.
great for home use

I purchased this set over 2 years ago for a deck rebuilding project. the drill and radial saw and flashlight have been excellent. the batteries hold a charge for a decent amount of time, and having a 2nd battery means you never are down while waiting for a recharge. great value for the home do it yourselfer.
Decent tools for the price

I bought these just because I needed some basic tools for a project I was working on.
I didn’t expect much for the price (or after reading other reviews).
After using these tools for awhile I’m pleased with them.
The drill is good quality with enough power for everything I’ve thrown at it. The battery hasn’t died on me during a job. A single charge lasts long enough.
The circular saw isn’t the best, but it gets the job done. It seams to drain the battery pretty quick. But for small jobs it’s great. The project I was working on required 1/8 – 1/2 inch wood and it did a great job with that. Larger pieces aren’t a problem but the battery won’t last long.
The saw seams to be of good quality. I’ve only used it to cut a few pieces of schedule 40 pipe but it worked great for that.
The flashlight drains the battery fast. It’s convenient in some places with the rotating angled head, but it’s very bulky for most applications. At first I couldn’t figured out what was rattling inside, but it turns out there’s an extra bulb inside the flashlight, which is nice.
The charger is my biggest complaint. It’s not a smart charger so you have to be careful not to leave the battery in there for more than a couple of hours.
The case is also annoying. I’ve never been able to get all the tools back in the case. The saw just doesn’t fit anywhere once you have pulled it out.
Overall it’s a decent low price kit. Don’t expect to build a house with these.
pretty good, on second thought

Early on, the batteries seemed to struggle to maintain a charge or to deliver power to the three “main” tools. Over the past two months, however, I’ve been pleased with the set. Using the reciprocrator, I was able to fully modify a steel bike frame and cut down a large bush on one charge. I’ve used the drill on a variety of jobs, mainly installing deadbolts and mortise locks on several doors, as well as many smaller jobs with no problems. The circle-saw is pretty good as well, and has successfully cut through 2×4s without trouble.
I can’t explain the early problems, but they seem to have disappeared completely.

I would LOVE t be able to speak about the quality of the tools I purchased one month ago from Amazon. However, I have NOT received them as yet: one full month later!
I received NO assistance from Amazon, broken promises from the distributor! By calling the distributor every day for the past week and one half, I finally have been promised a date of delivery from the manufacturer of next week.
I shall be very cautious concerning purchasing anything through Amazon in the future. “Buyer beware” certainly fits this company!
