I have had several cordless drills and other tools but this is the most powerful and well built of them all. It is a little heavy but that is solved with the optional Li Ion Battery packs. It provides good power and run time with the NiCad Packs as well and has excellent power. The saw in the kit is a great help in the field for that quick cut to fit something or quickly and effortlessly shorten a board or trim. A great start to a full featured assortment of other compatiable tools. I especialy like the one charger one battery format for the entime line!
Yes, I recommend this product.

I bought 7 of these kits in November 2011 for Job boxes at Trade shows.
I added these 7 to 8 sets we already had.... those orginal 8 have work flawlessly for the past 3 years and are still going strong.
Some of the first batteries are reaching their life expectancy.
But the new Ion battery solves that.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I thought I had found this starter kit at Amazon for $10 cheaper. The Amazon version, however, lacked a 2nd battery or tool bag. The charger was not nearly as advanced as the Home Depot version. I happily returned the Amazon version and purchased the Home Depot one. I replaced a heavy Skill saw and an entry-level 18v drill. The drill is infinitely better than the one it replaced. I can't comment on the saw yet other than to say that it spins.
Very happy with this offering.
Yes, I recommend this product.

overall you can't beat this package for the money
you can pay extra for a lithium battery but the
batteries that come with it are sufficient for consumer
use. There is no work light on the drill. The two speeds
help. The saw is good for light cutting when you can't
plug in. You need the extra battery because when it
dies, it's dead. It stops in mid cut. This combo is more
than I expected for the money. The drill is worth the price
of both tools. So, buy a drill and get a saw and an extra
battery for free.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I've had several cordless drills but by using this ryobi for a short time, i can tell i made the right choice, lots of power and the battery life is excellent, even if its new. i havn't used the 5 in. saw yet but i have some projects coming up that i will and i can't wait. i sure it will perform to more than what i will expect.

Great deal for the average homeowner who may use the tools once a week maybe to put a screw in the wall to hang a picture. Light duty work around the home is what these tools are meant for. Don't buy it and expect an everyday workhorse.

I purchased this for myself, a senior citizen female. What attracted me first was the savings on two Ryobi products, saw and drill, and that the combo had two batteries, The saw is light and easy to handle. yet has plenty of power for my hobby projects. The drill makes it easy to put screws into the wood, as well as drilling quickly and accurately, I am very pleased with the product, great value for the dollars I spent
Yes, I recommend this product.
