• CPX903X1 Starter Set
  Pros: Lightweight, east to use, quick charge
  Cons: Not variable speed. Runs too fast for some tasks!

• New battery technology promising.
  I bought this starter set because I was curious about the new battery technology from A123, based on new, nanoscale material initially developed at MIT. I am quite amazed at the power of these batteries. The torque for this little screwdriver is good enough to handle most home oriented tasks. The cut saw handled 1 x 2 wood with ease. The light is OK -- nothing special.
  My only real issue -- the design is such that you can insert the battery backward without realizing it. The batteries should be keyed... more info

• Disappointed
  Initially, I thought this would be a real handy tool combination. I charged it up and it seemed to work fine. When I went to charge it a second time the charger did not work. I called the repair number provided and they wanted me to send it back to them for repair. I didn't want to pay postage and I needed a tool now, so I sent it back to Amazon and ordered a different brand of screwdriver. Amazon returns are easy.

• Excellent product, but beware of wild price fluctuations
  this is a very nice product, and Amazon was offering it for a good price (50 bucks) - slightly better than Walmart - when I put it in my cart. But when I was about to check out, the price had shot up to 70, in the time it took me to go get lunch. Obviously, it's no longer a good value here. Look for it at the hardware stores and big box discounters. (There's also a coupon for a free battery at vpxsystemDOTcom.) So while I recommend the product, you need to watch the amazon price very carefully.
