A couple of weeks ago I purchased a tool bag with a 12volt milwuakee tubing cutter, sawzall, drill, and flashlight for $320 at Ferguson, and a coupon for an impact driver free. Coupon good through October.

Check it out. Cutter is the main reason I bought it and it works great.

Protech

I have the cutter and the micro cam. Cutter is great, micro cam sucks.

That kit was $277 at Amazon last week. I've had it in my cart but never did anything. Today they bounced the price up to $344.

I have the Hackzall and the micro cam. Love the hackzall, I use it alot. Well built, powerful and small. It's less than a year old and the batteries wont hold a charge anymore. They work great right after a charge, but if you charge them, then go to use them a few days later, they're shot. I have some old Dewalt batteries 4 years old still going strong.

I've only tried to use the micro cam a few times, usually looking for a leak in a wall. It's a PITA to get the camera head where you want it. It hasn't really helped me out yet, but maybe in the right situation it might be useful. Maybe.

Hate any battery tool. Just gave all my DeWalt tools away to my son. Never hold a charge like they say.

Never buy DeWalt. Crappiest battery tools on the market. I had one till I wore it out and swore I'd never buy another of their tools. It sucked! Too fat, gutless, wouldn't hold a charge.

Makita all the way! My Milwaukee 14.4 (really good drill, but didn't hold up under abuse as well as it should have) just finally wore out and I went back to Makita after many years trying other brands. I went with Makita after talking to several tin knockers I know. They use batt drills hard and know what holds up under tough abuse. The new 18V Lithium-Ion is smaller and lighter than the Milwaukee 14.4 nicad I had, has more power, works as a hammer drill (light duty) and charges in 15 minutes. The light is nice too.

This set. $300 for the pair. The drill alone is $280ish (Canadian prices), so the impact driver is almost free. It's super compact and has tons of torque.

The 1.5Ah batteries don't last as long as the 3.0Ah, but with 15 minute charge I don't care. They're nice and light.

Got the cutter a couple of days ago. Haven't used it in earnest yet, just a few cuts, ... but I think I'm gonna like this tool .

What's your beef with the micro cam Protech? I was thinking about buying one but I havn't made up my mind yet.

The local supplier here had a coupon if you by the tubing cutter, you can get the hackzall free.
