I bought this kit with some prior Black and Decker experience, (bought the 20v max cordless that comes with this kit first) I was a little apprehensive because I've heard good and bad but I must say I'm very happy with this kit. I have used it for about 6 months now (and I mean used and abused it) and it has performed very well! No problems so far, the only complaints I have are 1. More batteries would be nice and 2. a case would be very helpful to keep everything organized. All in all good product for a reasonable price, much better price then the DeWalt and Porter Cable sets I looked at.
