Description of Porter-Cable 9984CS 19.2-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless 2-Tool Combo Kit
Imagine the feel of 470 inch-pounds of torque in your hand. That's what this awesome drill/driver delivers in the lock-up position, powered by a 19.2-volt battery. Because of the two-speed gearbox, you've got drill speed ranges of 0 to 500 rpm and 0 to 1,500 rpm. Its 1/2-inch chuck is keyless, and the 20-position clutch takes care of drilling into all kinds of material. Porter-Cable's drills are among the best on the market; you'll never regret a P-C purchase. But here's one more reason to go with this model if you're in the market for a cordless drill/driver: the interchangeable Grip-to-Fit handle inserts. Having grappled with tool handles that were too big to control, we think this system is a great idea. There are manly sized grips included, of course, but for the woman woodworker or cabinetmaker, welcome to a delight--small grips! The Saw Boss 6-inch circular saw is powered by the same workhorse 19.2-volt battery--you'll need a break long before your battery will. And at 2,600 rpm, the premium 6-inch thin-kerf, carbide-tipped blade will have you making 100 crosscuts on two-by-fours on a single charge, so you may even be done before you need that break. This package also gets you two batteries, a charger, a bit, side handles for hammer drill use, and a case. You just can't go wrong. --Kris Jensen-Van HesteTools and Hardware Reviews of Porter-Cable 9984CS 19.2-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless 2-Tool Combo Kit
Customer Review: A Great Combo to Own!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this combo 2 years ago from Amazon and love it. I mostly needed a drill, but the savings offered persuaded me to go with the combo. I received with this kit the 6" circular saw, and 19.2v drill/driver, and extra GTF inserts for the handles, a 1 hour diagnostic charger, (2) 19.2V 2.4 amp-hour batteries, as well as a hard plastic case for storing both tools. I am a hardcore DIY'er and love these tools.
Drill:
The drill performs flawlessly, I use it once a week at the very least. Not pictured is a threaded handle that mounts from either side of the drill, or removes to get into tight spaces. The high/low gearbox lets you find a speed that suits your job. I love the 1/2" keyless chuck, it makes changing bits one handed easy, especially handy on a ladder. The 20 position clutch is great when you are trying not to overdrive a screw or fastener. This drill has a hefty feel to it, and the GTF system makes for a custom fit to your hand. The battery life on the drill is unreal, I installed a metal roof on a 24'x42' building with self tapping metal screws on (2) 2 year old batteries. Longevity seems to be a non-issue with these batteries.
Saw:
It is advertised that this saw can cross cut 100 2x4's on a single charge, it may be capable of that, but it is only capable of ripping 22 feet of 4/4 (1 inch) pine on a single charge. By the time you get done ripping 22 feet of lumber, the battery is smoking hot from the quick discharge and the 1 hour charger is useless until the battery cools for about another 45 minutes. The LED diagnostic works fine on the charger letting you know that the battery cannot be charged if it is too hot or too cold. I think that because this saw's ripping capabilities are not that strong, it has gotten a bad wrap. In a situation where you are cross cutting, the battery will not overheat from extended periods of use, and thus the charger will charge your battery fully in 1 hour. The blade is a 18 carbide tooth thin kerf, suited well for ripping, not as well for plywood, which will chip out. The plywood blade will set you back about $20. Buy your extra blades from Amazon when you buy your saw, because they are not readily available at Home Depot or Lowes. Overall, if you want to take a couple of charged batteries into the woods and build a remote cabin, this is not your saw. If you want a saw that you will use for cross cutting and light to medium duties it may be right for you.
