This factory reconditioned Miter Saw can handle a variety of cuts. It has electric braking which enables fast stopping, and the laser guides the user for perfect cuts. The Ryobi Miter Saw With Laser includes a carbide tipped blade, dust bag and work clamp. A majority of the Ryobi users gave this product high ratings. A few reviews can be read below.

Miguel Zamora wrote: "I found the miter saw in excellent condition. In fact it is hard to tell it is a reconditioned model. I have used it extensively for some projects and I am very satisfied. The laser line marking the place where the cut is to be made is most useful because it allows you to make precise cuts. The price was excellent and I think I had a great value."



Ricardo Rosas wrote: "This tool is great! I am a handyman and I had questions about buying a reconditioned machine, but now I could confirm that it is an excellent option for home projects where you do not need to spend a lot of money in tools. I have been using for two months and have not seen any issue."

TheWoz wrote: "I hesitated on buying a reconditioned tool but took a change on this one. Have used it now frequently and have had no problems with it. The cuts are precise and the ease of use is perfect for me. I do small woodworking projects so don't know how it would hold up on bigger projects. For me, it's perfect, just what I needed."

Gregg Mariniello wrote: "I cannot tell the difference between the rebuilt and a new one except for the price. It came assembled and in perfect adjustment. Very satisfied!"

The Ryobi Work Light features a swivel head that directs light where it's needed. Durable and lightweight, this Work Light is perfect for every day use. With a removable lens, it is easy to change the bulb. Pleased users of the Ryobi Work Light rated this product very high. You can read a few reviews below.

Doug wrote: "I had seen this light offered as a part of a set of tools quite a few times; however, I had no need for the rest of the set. When I saw this light on Amazon, I grabbed it. I have other 18V One+ Ryobi tools, so the light fits right in because I also have extra batteries. The flash light works like, well a flashlight! No problems and I use it for the purpose intended. The light is bright and relatively lite weight if you use the small lithium ion battery."

CucumberField wrote: "This is our second flashlight. My husband and I walk our 2 dogs at night in the woods, and we needed two good quality flashlights. With these flash lights, we can clearly see objects relatively far. . .I used several different flash lights before, but none worked as well as this one. That's why we bought another one. . .My husband also owns Ryobi's power tools, which operate on the same battery pack. We use Ryobi's drill during the day, and this flash light during the night, but one battery serves for both. Highly recommended."

R. bachman wrote: "I like this ryobi 18v work light. It is compact and functional but the old style with the trigger grip, on/off switch is more to my liking. It's just a matter of preference."

Included with the Ryobi Reconditioned Cordless 4-Piece Combo Kit is an 18-volt lithium-ion Auto Shift Drill, an 18-volt lithium-ion circular saw, an 18-volt lithium-ion reciprocating saw, and an 18-volt lithium-ion work light. The drill is definitely the primary focus of this kit. Also included is an 18-volt lithium-ion battery, an 18-volt lithium-ion compact battery, an 18-volt dual chemistry charger, and a tool bag. Users gave the Ryobi Cordless Combo Kit high ratings and a few reviews can be read below.

R. Sand wrote: "My original review on this combo wasn't good, however, I was contacted by CPO Robi and asked to return it at their expense, which I did. My combo kit was delivered yesterday, way ahead of schedule and it is absolutely great. It lives up to everything in the product description, in fact it looks as if it's brand new, something that I didn't expect. I can' say enough about how Ryobi went the extra mile to make me happy. If anyone is looking for a combo kit you won't be disappointed with this one."

Peter Monroe wrote: "I like this combo kit. I use these tools for set building and switch them all day. I use the drill a lot, but granted, I don't use anything continually all day. The drill is great, usually the torque autoshift is just convenient and faster, but sometimes it would be nice to start manually downshifted, though pulling the trigger just a little fits the bill. . . I was worried about buying this kit, some people brag on Ryobi tools because they're cheaper but they work fantastic! . . I gave them a shot, as they were warranted, and these tools work very well - they've made me an independent force to be reckoned with! I'll be looking into the power paint backpack system soon. Thanks, Ryobi, you're helping me work like a pro even though I'm just starting out."

James Cook wrote: "I received mine within 2 days of ordering and altho it is refurbished (visibly you can tell it was used, but not abused). Any tool set I own would've looked in the condition I received this within a month anyway so I don't know the fuss that others have with reconditioned tools not looking good. All items work well, the price is great for lithium and it included everything I needed. I would recommend this to family and friends."

Before the DeWalt Products Company was formed in 1924, Raymond DeWalt had perfected the first radial arm machine to provide versatility in woodworking shops. After DeWalt founded his own company , the first product was a woodworking machine known as the DeWalt "Wonder Worker". In the 1940s, DeWalt expanded, reorganized and developed new products. It wasn't until 1992 that DeWalt started a line of portable electric power tools. Through the years, DeWalt has continued to offer more power tools and ever better power tools.

Quickly clean your house, car or boat with the DeWalt Wet/Dry Vac. Users rated the Vac very high and you can read some of the reviews below.

H. Wu wrote: "I've owned and discarded any number of small portable dustbuster type vacuums over the years. In every case, they run well for a time, then go in the trash bin after the batteries lose charge capacity and are not worth replacing. The DeWalt is the best alternative I've found yet. Very powerful, small but solid. Detaching hose feature is a plus. Easy to unload the waste and clean the filter. . . It needs a crevice tool. No more noisy than other portables of this size. . ."



Johannes Zoeteman wrote: "This is not your typical dustbuster but an actual vacuum cleaner in a very small format. I use this machine on my boat and it picks up anything, from small dust to pieces of paper and nails, etc. I have now used it for the past 1-1/2 months and I still did not have a need to recharge the battery. Noisy, certainly, however I guess that is also due to the small space I am using it in."

Bill Kearney wrote: "I needed a portable vacuum that could handle water. The boat tends to collect water in a few places. It's very inconvenient to lug the whole ShopVac to the boat so I picked up one of these for the job. . . It does a fine job as a vacuum. Both wet and dry. . .It's good for what it does but some may find it too loud to use without ear protection. Which is always something worth using when dealing with machines anyway."

Kevin Chu wrote: "The thing I always hated about mini vacuums is the fact that most of them do not have any real power or replaceable batteries. This unit is powerful, but also very loud. I would recommend this as a general purpose dustbuster replacement."

The DeWalt Heavy Duty Cordless Screwdriver can be used on wood, plastic and some light metals. This Cordless Screwdriver features a two-position handle, an electric brake and variable speed capacity. The kit includes a one hour charger, two 7.2-volt compact batteries, two screwdriver bits and a heavy duty storage box. Users gave this efficient DeWalt Cordless Screwdriver high ratings. A few of the reviews can be read below.

Richard N wrote: "I'm remodeling my garage. One of the many tasks is putting up sturdy wall shelving to hold heavy tools and tool boxes, and putting up drop down ceiling racks to hold 4x8 sheets of plywood, sheet rock, etc. I have been using the DeWalt Cordless Screwdriver to attach the shelving to my garage studs and rafters with 3 inch wood screws. I am more than impressed with the power this little screwdriver has. . .I set the clutch to 15 for tough jobs. When the clutch engages, the DeWalt sounds like an air ratchet. The thing just oozes power. The 1 hour charger works as advertised. . . To say the very minimum, I am very satisfied with my DeWalt. Next to my table saw I would rank my cordless screwdriver as my most important and useful tool."



JohnJ80 wrote: "This is simply the best cordless screwdriver around. With a drill you either have to much torque, speed and size. Having a power screwdriver is a necessary piece of equipment for any homeowner. . . The torque adjustment is really great. Adjustment steps are very nicely spaced throughout the torque range. . .My only complaint is that the battery shape makes the tool somewhat awkward to use in the straight position. However, this is the only problem and nothing that I believe detracts from the tool overall. Having owned several Black and Decker cordless ones and having looked at the Skil, Panasonic and others, this tool leaves them in the dust - and at a discount too! Get it, you won't regret it."

J. Janson wrote: "Bought mine here from Amazon.com about a month ago and have used and tested it with much satisfaction ever since. I reviewed all 57 reviews for this tool here before buying and I rely heavily on these reviews before buying. I was concerned about the shaft wobble and the easy releaseability of the bit when the chuck is bumped or put into a tool bucket. These were so well written up by earlier reviewers. I am pleased to say that it appears as if both situations have been resolved. . ."

Jerry wrote: "I've owned a Milwaukee cordless screwdriver for years and it recently broke. Most people you talk with say the Milwaukee is the standard for electrical contractors. Then I discovered this new DeWalt 920K. It offers everything the Milwaukee offers plus two things which I always felt were missing with the Milwaukee. Two batteries for continuous use, and a whole lot more power. The trade off is its a little bigger and heavier. But it still fits in my tool bucket and well worth the advantages. You can even use for light weight drilling!"

The DeWalt Cordless 6-Tool Combo Kit provides an excellent selection of power tools. The Combo Kit is perfect for the professional carpenter or the do-it-yourself homeowner.

Daniel Burt wrote: "I come from a Makita family and had always planned on getting a Makita tool set. While I was at Home Depot these power tools were on sale, and my wife surprised me with them. It has been over 2 years and I am so glad she did. I love (LOVE) my DeWalt power tool set. I use the drill most frequently (of course) but I can't even count how many times the grinder has been the perfect tool for whatever job I have been working on. I try and take care of my stuff, but I have dropped my tools several times and they still work great. This has been such a great purchase and I absolutely recommend them to anyone."

John Genluch wrote: "DeWalt quality. The seller had the top notch customer service as well. I haven't used all the tools yet, but the ones I have work great!"

p mccoy wrote: "I ordered the DeWalt tool set for my husband who was thrilled with the excellent quality of the tools. It was very well priced, we compared and saved some good money. The shipping was fast and delivered the day they promised. So all I can say is me and my husband are very happy."

The company was founded in 1910 by Alonzo Decker and Duncan Black in Maryland. Initially the company made products that were invented and sold by others.

Through the years, Black & Decker has expanded, grown and offered more and better products to customers.

CleanCode wrote: "I needed an electric saw of some sort to cut some branches off this tree overhanging our townhouse. So, I went to Lowe's and was debating between getting this one vs. another one like it by Black & Decker which was cordless, and then compared those against a reciprocal saw. I don't know jack about saws . .however, I didn't want to spend $100 for a reciprocal if I didn't need that much power. I had anywhere from 1-5 branches to cut apart. So I took this home and it plows through branches like you cannot believe. You motion it back and forth just like a regular saw, and within about 10 seconds, you can saw a good 3-4 inch thick branch like it's butter. Highly recommended for those type of applications. Have not tried it on plastic or anything else yet but love it so far based on just that one need."

Joanna Ahearn wrote: "As others have said, "this is a great tool". As a woman, some of the tools I see and try to use are either a) too awkward and/or b) weigh too much. I love this handsaw - it is lightweight, easy to use and the cuts are great! I first used it on piping (copper, pvc) the cuts are nice and clean. I also have used this on my Elm trees for trimming and such, just great - my guy friends and co-workers laughed when I first got this and now they borrow it a lot!"


W.L. Spakowski wrote: "I've been trying to fit some old cabinets in the garage with more shelves to create more storage. I'd buy wood cut to size but small adjustments were necessary to make the shelves fit. This saw is perfect for that! It works best on MDF but also works on pine. It's just the ticket for small home projects. Use a piece of scrap lumber to get used to it. (I was holding it almost horizontal at first and you have to hold it more vertical to get a good cut). I also recommend clamping the wood to reduce vibration. So, for those of you who are a bit powersaw phobic but want to make shelves or other simple projects, this saw is for you!"

K. Cotton wrote: "I've bought this handsaw twice. The second time I bought it was because I loved the first one so much! I'm a stay at home mom and confessed handy woman. I love to have the freedom to do projects without asking for help with the table saw - which I'm a little intimidated by. I bought myself a miter box to go with this handsaw and it gives me the freedom to do whatever projects I want to do. I've built a kitchen island, a fireplace surround and done trim work with this handy little item. It's lightweight and extremely easy to use. As I said, this is the second one I've bought. What happened to the first one? I relegated that one to the garden. I've used it to cut lawn edging (works great) and to trim branches. I couldn't find this item in any store this time around so I decided to buy it online. I had to have my B & D handsaw."

Now that he has his first apartment, he wanted household tools. This kit is fantastic and he loves it. It has just about everything he needs. The quality seems to be very good. My son especially likes the power drill. All 'round, a great gift."



Kenneth William wrote: "I love this tool kit! Everything about it is excellent. For me, this tool set replaces every other tool I've purchased over the years. When I start a new project I just carry this case with me and I have everything I need for simple home repairs, furniture assemblies, wall installations, etc. I think this is the perfect gift for college grads and people buying their first home. I cannot over emphasize - this is probably the most useful thing I own."

Thomas Dwelle wrote: " I have a Blue Line power monitor. They look so much alike that I'd suspect they are both made by the same manufacturer. Anyway, my pet peeve with my power bill is that it's like a credit card. Once a month you say ouch and then forget about it. This Black & Decker is a constant reminder. My wife bought in immediately. It lives in the center of our house and the wife and I reference it constantly. Instant gratification. Turn off the air conditioning and watch the # get smaller. . . Like my uncle said about his TIVO, there are 2 kinds of people in this world. Those with a power monitor and those who don't know about it yet."



Modern Blue Argonaut wrote: "I've been using this for about a month now and have been very impressed since day 1 with the usefulness of this power monitor. If you are looking to get a handle on what things in your house cost to run (hot water heater, air conditioner, dishwasher, entertainment center) this is a great gadget to get a handle on actual costs. . . This tool brings real world costs to the appliances and other electrical items we run daily without any guesswork."
