let me gusse the hammer drill, thts the only one we had probs with, the impact guns fine, the saws are fine, the grinders fine, the mini impact drivers fine.. we got him the tools in 07 and the only one tht ****ed up was the hammer drill

both the hammer drill, and drill. i now try and buy older new tools. Im an electrician in chicago. so i use them year round, and they do a lot. i do both tower work, and ground.

I wish i could say i liked them, but they just suck. i love the hacksaw and band saw though. even the wheel cutter works great. but for drills, i run the other way. even the dewalt bits have gone down the tubes. I used to buy a lot of tools, and have learned along the way. just like klein tools now suck... sad
