Summary: CPX903X1 Starter Set
Comment: Pros: Lightweight, east to use, quick charge
Cons: Not variable speed. Runs too fast for some tasks!
Customer Rating:
Summary: New battery technology promising.
Comment: 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 in such a way that this could not happen.
These won't replace my 18v gear -- but for a lightweight set around the house it is a good buy.

Summary: Disappointed
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent product, but beware of wild price fluctuations
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Useful and powerful little set at a great price.
Comment: I really like this set, and for the price (I paid fifty bucks on Amazon) you can't beat it! Only four stars because the flashlight could be brighter.
I used the saw to trim some posts on my picket fence, and the driver has come in handy numerous times. The flashlight is a pretty weak compared to my other LED flashlights, but it's not bad.
It's about what you can expect from light duty cordless power tools and at a very decent price. The battery system is pretty nifty, and a LOT more powerful that the old Flex-Charge or whatever it was that Black and Decker had several years ago for their interchangeable battery system.
I'd recommend this to my friends, for sure.
