Compact combo kit ideal for all DIYers
Got a DIY tool lover on your holiday shopping list? Then may I suggest getting them (or me) Porter-Cable's new three-piece cordless combo kit? This is a hole-drilling, screw-driving dream team of tools.
The Model PCL-318IDC-2 Combo Kit includes a drill/driver, impact driver, flashlight, two 18-volt lithium-ion batteries, plug-in charger, and soft-sided storage case.
Both the drill/driver and impact driver are very compact and lightweight, making them ideal for all users. But be fooled by their compact size; these are rugged, professional-duty tools.
The drill/driver weighs just 3.8 pounds and is equipped with a 1/2-inch, single-sleeve chuck, and two-position, variable-speed gear box that delivers 325 inch-pounds of torque.
The compact impact driver is a screw-driving brute that combines 2,900 revolutions per minute with 2,800 blows per minute to deliver an impressive 1,600 inch-pounds of torque. And at only 6 1/2 inches long, it'll fit into spaces too tight for most drill/drivers.
The super-bright 5-watt flashlight runs up to three hours on a fully charged battery.
This three-piece combo kit retails for around $420, but I found it on-line for just $240.
