Black & Decker 20V MAX* POWERCONNECT Cordless 4-Tool Combo Kit (​​BD4KITCDCMSL)

Disappointed - I thought I was getting a good deal on this Combo Kit - BUT NO!This kit is traded on Amazon.ae where the voltage is 220V/240V 50Hz on a UK style 3 pin plug. I was suspicious when tracking this order, on Amazon, when I saw it originated in the USA, (and not the UK or Europe). My worries were confirmed when it arrived (which to Amazon's credit was much earlier than forecast). The battery charger/transformer is clearly marked 110V 60Hz and therefore incompatible with my electricity supply. I scoured the Black+Decker website and local stockists to see if a 220V/240V 50Hz equivalent charger was available - but no luck. I called Stanley Black+Decker Middle East for technical help - there was none, and I was told to call the local service agent who told me the only course of action was to go buy a 110V to 220V transformer, which I did, at additional cost. Now I have a 3 stage plug tree converting UK 3 pin 220V/240V to US 2 Pin 110V - which is less than ideal. The batteries arrived with some charge - enough for me to try each machine and to ensure that they worked. But then it took multiple hours for the batteries to reach full charge on the "cobbled together" plug tree /charger. I checked the volts and amps output from the transformer and it was well within tolerances - they just charge really slowly. The only other gripe I have is that the circular saw does not come with a guide fence (although the base plate has the facility and the fixing for one) so that's another expense I will have to bear.

Very good

Si quieres empezar en la carpinteria este kit creo es ideal, bastante completo, fácil de usar y buen precio!!!

As described

Hey guys, I am so excited to give this review! I couldn’t wait to receive these tool’s because I have so many projects awaiting them. When I received them, I opened the package right away and tested them out. They all worked great. They definitely did the job for the many projects I had to do. The batteries took a few hours to fully charge. There are two different types of sandpaper to choose from. I loved that the drill came with a drill pit! The saw did come with one blade. It did the job for me. It was definitely worth the money!

Es una excelente herramienta, no me dedico a la carpintería, pero si hago muchas actividades para la casa y me ha resultado de gran utilidad, muy práctica y fácil de usar, la recomiendo!!!!!
