Cordless Tool Kits

Contractors build their businesses around tools such as these, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't use them to make short work of your next weekend project. New lithium-ion batteries supply a generous 24 volts to this reciprocating saw, circular saw, hammer drill/driver and flashlight. The battery looks a bit bulky, but it balances the circular saw and drill perfectly—and it also has a gauge to show you how much juice it's got left (usually plenty). about $600, ridgid.com.
