What a combo-—the contractor’s new best friend. Here’s what we like about each of the workhorses in this deal. DeWalt’s revamped 18-volt compact drill/driver is perfect if you need power, but you don’t want to hoist a ton. Its 1/2-inch chuck grips beefy bits, the 18-position adjustable clutch provide the torque for whatever the job, powered by a high-performance motor. It’s all packaged in a truly lightweight, comfortable drill. The variable speed has a high and low range for any application, and the reverse switch is right above the curved trigger for easy access. We especially like the light weight, even more so because it doesn’t cost in the power department. Lots of pluses: on-board bit storage, two batteries, hard case. We think contractors will be pleased with this drill, especially after a long day. The 936 trim saw is power to go! We like that the blade’s on the left for a nice, clean sightline. The shoe is easy to adjust for bevel cuts, and like the drill, it’s lightweight, more compact than its colleagues and easy to handle, but not lacking for power. The recip saw’s got a great keyless blade-change mechanism that gets the old blade out and the new one in, in just seconds. The shoe pivots nicely and has a great open top for maximum visibility, a variable-speed trigger for blade control, and an electric brake. The grips feel good and offer fantastic control. Because of that and its comparative light weight (but no sacrifice in the power department), if you’ve got to work above your head, this is the tool for you. The flashlight’s got a nice swivel neck that pivots to shine on your workpiece. The included charger juices up a spent battery in an hour.–Kris Jensen-Van Heste
