need advice--cordless tools

[dipren443]

has anyone tried the porter-cables? i know they're owned by dewalt/B&D and used to be good. i'm leaning towards them as the circular saw is large enough and the kit is only $250 which is much easier for me to afford than the $500 of the other kits. plus i don't know that i need the massive power they have. 'though i may get the dewalt or the milwaukee, they seem to get more consistent reviews.
thanks

The new porter cable stuff feels like tinker toys. I had a porter cable 12v drill from back when their stuff was good and it never failed me. The batteries eventually gave up the ghost... I went to a Makita 18V and I really like it.

Not sure if the question about hammer drills was answered... If you ever intend on drilling concrete/masonry, the hammer drill will come in handy big time.
