I can second everything he said.
The saw will do okay for some cuts in 3/4" plywood, but it is slow and the blade binds up easily and it eats the batteries fast. So you need patience or just use...

The drill is good. The saw is junk unless you're using it for paneling like the above poster talked about. Got the set for like 45 bucks last year. I use the drill daily and like it quite a bit...

I'm crossed if I should by this. I've been looking for a good battery-powered circular saw and you really can't beat this price.
Has anyone used these before?
