The Makita LCT200W 18-Volt Compact Drill/Impact Driver Combo includes the Makita LXFD01CW Compact Drill Driver and the BTD142HW Impact Driver in one very cost-effective package – both tools for about $20 more than the cost of one.

Porter Cable PC250MTK Review
The Porter Cable PC250MTK is Porter Cable’s entry into the oscillating multi-tool market, and has Porter Cable’s patented Tool-Free System that gives you quick, easy accessory changes at the press of a lever, plus it’s priced extremely competitively to appeal to users who want a top quality oscillating multi-tool without the cost of either the Fein Multimaster or the Bosch MX25EK-33.
Hitachi C10FCE2 Miter Saw Review
The Hitachi C10FCE2 10-Inch Compound Miter Saw is the lightest and most portable compound miter saw in its class, weighing in at only 26lbs. The quality of construction is excellent (plus it comes with a 5 year warranty) and the soft start motor and rubber anti-vibration handle mean it’s really smooth and comfortable to use. At this price point you can’t really go wrong. Highly recommended.
Bosch GTS1031 Table Saw Review
The Bosch GTS1031 Table Saw is Bosch’s 10-inch portable job-site table saw and has a no-frills, bare bones design aimed squarely at contractors (or anyone else) who want a table saw that’s easy to carry around and set up but tough enough to withstand whatever treatment you give it when you get there – the all steel roll-bar cage body design makes this possible, and it’s a huge improvement over any other portable saw.

It has a powerful 15 amp motor, a large16-inch rip capacity and maximum depth of cut of 3-1/8 inch. Best table saw in its class.

The Dewalt DCK211S2 12-Volt Drill/Impact Driver Combo includes the Dewalt DCD710 Drill/Driver and the Dewalt DCF815 Impact Driver giving you the best of both worlds in one cost-effective package.

Bosch 36618-02 Cordless Drill Review
The Bosch 36618-02 Cordless Drill has an excellent power to weight ratio and is very smooth with incredible torque. The new angled ergonomic design is compact enough to work in tight spaces and makes it easy to apply the correct pressure as you drill or drive fasteners without straining your wrist. The angle also helps to work between studs or in tight spaces where a lot of other drills would not fit.
Bosch 4100-09 Table Saw Review
The Bosch 4100-09 Table Saw with Gravity-Rise stand gives you the best of both worlds – portability plus a crucial 25-inch ripping capacity. Cleverly designed and well engineered gravity-rise stand makes it easy to single-handedly move, set up and store.

Milwaukee 6519-31 Sawzall Review
The Milwaukee 6519-31 Sawzall is the latest corded version in Milwaukee’s fantastic range of Sawzall reciprocating saws. Milwaukee invented the reciprocating saw back in 1951 and have dominated the market ever since. When it comes to all out demolition capability, nothing comes close to a reciprocating saw, and the fact that you can buy the Sawzall market-leading reciprocating saw for under $100 is pretty amazing.
Milwaukee 2691-22 Cordless Drill Driver Combo Review
The Milwaukee 2691-22 18-Volt Drill/Impact Driver Combo gives you two tools for not much more than the cost of one. Both tools use Milwaukee’s 4-pole frameless motor which gives approx 20% more power than a 2-pole motor, and there’s a battery charge indicator on the batteries, which is very important with lithium-ion batteries as they have full power right up to the end.
