Delta CL180WWK 18 Volt Cordless Woodworkers Six Pack Kit

We did a double-take when we saw the price on this incredible set of tools. It’s everything you need for home do-it-yourself projects and woodworking, but Delta’s quality makes us think even the contractor couldn’t go too far wrong with this set as a back-up. You could build a deck or frame a room with nothing but the tools in this kit and a level (which, if anyone from Delta is reading this, would be the perfect addition). Applause to Delta for wrapping each tool handle in a nice ergonomic grip material. Aside from that, here’s what we particularly like about each tool: The circular saw is easy to maneuver, not cumbersome and clunky like others we’ve handled. There’s a nice, clear line of sight at the cutline, and kudos to Delta for including a carbide blade rather than high-speed steel—-a nice touch. The pitch of the front handle gave us a great, secure grip. The jigsaw blade changes easily, the trigger’s comfortable and there’s plenty of power. The cordless sander feels great in hand, and we can imagine the projects we could take that to without dragging an extension cord. The 24-position clutch drill, which will probably be the most-used tool of the bunch, has great balance and a comfortable grip. It’s relatively compact, making it perfect for those with smaller hands. Convenient little bit holders right on board, too. The flashlight’s a fine little worker, but there are no outstanding features we could see. But the brad nailer, for us, is the cream of this crop. It’s the answer for those who’ve always wanted a nailer but didn’t want the requisite compressor, too. It’s reliable, powerful and heck, we’ll admit it, fun to use. We like the range of brads it’ll drive, too. This is a fantastic collection of tools you just can’t go wrong with.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste
