Bosch CPK60-18 18-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless 6-Tool Combo Kit

Product Description

Perfect for remodeling, renovating, restoring and general household-use, Bosch's 18-volt, six-tool cordless kit offers the optimum in power and portability. The kit includes a hammer drill/driver, circular saw, reciprocating saw, jigsaw, planer, and flashlight. Three tools in one, Bosch's Brute Tough hammer drill/driver works in both regular mode for standard operations and hammer-mode for drilling and driving tasks in harder woods and masonry. The kit's 6-1/2-inch circular saw features a rear depth- adjustment for accurate cuts in materials of different thicknesses. The saw makes 50-degree bevel cuts through two-inch material, and is designed with 45-degree positive stops for unfettered angle cuts. And, a handy spindle lock means faster, easier blade changes. The kit's reciprocating saw has a 1-1/4-inch standard stroke for fast, aggressive cuts, as well as a 3/4-inch plunge stroke for precision cutting operations. For yet more cutting versatility, this tool set includes Bosch's jigsaw with a One-Touch blade-change system for less downtime and more productivity. Great for trimming down door edges and making things fit, the handheld planer included in this kit is the only full-size cordless planer on the market. The planer offers plenty of power for extended jobs, without the cord dangling over the work and occupying a hand that's better used to support the body while you plane. The tool is adjustable to 1/16 inches and includes a dust bag that switches sides for cleaner work, better visibility, and healthier lungs. Light up projects with the kit's included flashlight and you're ready for any jobsite. Now for the power system: The kit comes with a handy recharger and two of Bosch's 2.4 amp Bluecore batteries, which feature innovative cooling rods located between battery cells for cooler operations and up to 50-percent longer battery life. Bluecore batteries charge in 30 minutes while comparable batteries take up to three hours to charge when hot. The purchase also in

4.0 out of 5 stars very good tools at a great price, January 25, 2006

This review is from: Bosch CPK60-18 18-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless 6-Tool Combo Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)
I have been a custom home builder and cabinet maker for several years now and have used many different cordless sets. I can easily say that this set is the best value out there. After great luck with an old Dewalt 12v drill, I went to a Milwaukee 18v set after their great magazine reviews. That set was good but not nearly as good I expected. Every 18 months or so I sell the old set and get new to avoid any troubles.

2 years ago, the 18v Bosch set (5 piece) came next and I liked it much better.
The drill is the core of every set and this one is very solid and well balanced. Easy clutch adjustments and decent hammer-drill function. Nice magnetic tip included as well.
The circular saw is the best 18volt I have seen with a great depth gauge and even a dust collection port (that I have never used).
The jig saw is absolutely fantastic. It is not quite on the same level as my Bosch corded jig saw (which is the best jig saw ever IMO) but I use it... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Well Worth the Money, August 13, 2006

Robert E.C. (Lansing, KS United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bosch CPK60-18 18-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless 6-Tool Combo Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)
These are used daily from March to December, 1 year old.
1. I signed up for their pro program and submited for the free battery. Glad I did, the battery was the new blue tooth and it does last longer. The warranty program is fantastic, those complaining missed the boat. New Tool 2 day air no charge - and it was my fault I replaced it, they didn't care. No Hassels !
2. I didn't expect to use the planer much, but once I did - Love it. Use it a lot. The Jigsaw works great especially w/bosch blades,the best. I've lap cut PT4x4's with it
3. The drill does not have the 3rd speed of a Dewalt and is heavier. But mine has survived a 1+ story fall, just like the add and survived, still going strong. The clutch, & hammer setting working fine. (& I can still relace it)
4. The saws, the circular saw I had to get use to handle position, a little different, but thats the only fault I found. Battery powered saws you need to keep a sharp blade with the thin kerf blades, cuts... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Love these tools...favorites of mine, September 30, 2005
This review is from: Bosch CPK60-18 18-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless 6-Tool Combo Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)
I've had my 6 tool collection of Bosch cordless tools for over a year and not one failure in the lot. Strong, well designed and very easy to transport and get to the job quickly....w/o annoying cords, too loud motors, and with very reliable settings of depth and speed....esp. the circular saw....best saw depth adjustment ever. Only drawback is the batteries that seem to last only so long... and comparable dewalt battery tools seem slightly longer lasting which is odd as i am told that most brand's batteries are made by same manufacturer: Panasonic or some other japanese manufacturer....And Larger batteries in the 18 to 24 volt range tend to wear out faster than our old makita 9 volt batteries.
So far, i've bought 3 additional batteries in a good sales deal with Bosch...(one extra drill came w/ 3 batteries for same price as drill....!) as you'll need all 5 batteries as two aren't enough (IMO 3 is absolute min. for this kit..). None of my batteries have failed either, but they do... Read more
