 The PC418C kit includes everything you need to complete many projects. |
The drill/driver features a high-performance motor and two-speed gearbox that will deliver enough power and torque to get even the toughest jobs done quickly. The low gear setting offers high torque for heavy duty screwdriving, while the high gear provides optimum RPMs for quick drilling. The drill has a metal, single-sleeve half-inch chuck, which provides secure bit retention and solid durability. The drill/driver also includes a convenient, integrated LED work light that makes working in dark basements and dimly lit corners easier. An over-molded, contoured grip keeps your hand comfortable even during heavy and prolonged use.
Two Saws for Different Cuts
The PC186CS 6-1/2-inch circular saw features carbide tips that let you make long cuts with ease and efficiency, and the PC1800RS reciprocating saw features a compact size that allows it to be used in tight spaces.
Handy Flashlight Illuminates Dark Work Areas
When you work long hours into darkness or in a dimly lit basement, the PC1800L flashlight will conveniently light up dark work areas, letting you continue until the job is done.
Convenient Cordless Operation
Thanks to the tools' cordless design, you can work safely and efficiently. The included NiCad battery packs work interchangeably with the tools, as well as with other tools in the Porter-Cable Tradesman cordless line. Additional batteries can be purchased separately. The included fast charger minimizes downtime by recharging batteries in under an hour.

Porter-Cable PC418C-2 18-Volt NiCd Cordless 4-Piece Combo Kit Reviews
| 123 of 125 people found the following review helpful:  Not the Porter Cable of yore, but still very good, By David Alexander (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Porter-Cable PC418C-2 18-Volt NiCd Cordless 4-Piece Combo Kit (Tools & Home Improvement) I bought this kit earlier this week, so the impressions below are only from a few hours of use. Also, I'm a DIY homeowner, not a contractor or professional. Because some people may be considering Ryobi's similarly-priced cordless P842 18V Nicad kit, I've thrown in a few comparisons to that as well. By component: DRILL: It feels a lot like the lower end of DeWalt's range. The motor section is heavy and substantial, though with nowhere near the front-weighted heft of DeWalt's XRP line. The handle is thinner than I expected and the design is closer to compact than full-size. It has a motor brake and a 1/2" metal chuck, two useful professional features. Balance is above-average, though overhead and precision work would benefit from a lighter unit. The torque clutch has 32 settings and isn't excessively difficult to adjust. The drill has a two-mode switch, a variable speed trigger, and generally sounds refined. Both modes are powerful and were capable of driving a...

I normally purchase Dewalt and Bosch tools because I think they're the best built ones out there. That said, I wanted something for small home projects and I didn't want to spend an arm and a leg. For $130, this set can't be beat by anything else out there. It has its issues, namely the wobbly chuck on the drill which makes using small bits a difficulty, but overall it's a pretty amazing value. Circular saw: About average; it's good for small tasks in a pinch, but don't use it with expectations of it working like a real worm-drive saw. You'll be lucky to get 45 minutes out of it. Reciprocating saw: A real gem. It works great for most homeowner tasks, feels durable, the quick-change bit mechanism works great. Again, don't expect power like a corded model, but for small tasks like cutting a bigger opening in drywall for...

I bought this combo pack because of the great price. A drill, circular saw, a flash light, and a reciporcating saw are three tools that make any job easier. I do have to agree that the flash light is pretty much worthless, but the other three tools are worth the price. A great set for noobs and not too intemidating. I do have a few tips after using the combo kit: *RUN THE BATTERIES ALL THE WAY DOWN THE FIRST TIME BEFORE YOU CHARGE. This is the best way to get the most life out of NiCd batteries and it is not hard to do. Just throw a battery on the reciporcating saw and pull the button until it putt-putts out. *Buy some replacement saw blades for the reciporcating saw, the included blade works fine but is short lived after one job. Dewalt has a 5 pack for around $6.00 *Porter-Cable also makes a drill bit kit. It's worth picking up too. Check... Read more |
