Do you have any suggestion in a better set of power tools like this Rockwell Combo?

It includes their "3rill" and a Trans4mer, which is mostly a rotate-able jigsaw.

Any other suggestions that would be around this price and in your opinion are better quality? We are almost ready to order, but would love to see other alternatives.

If you don't need the jigsaw, consider this Makita set instead ...

love my set. paid more than the 130 they are asking now, and would buy it again. you can upgrade to the lithumion battery for 200.

@moosezilla: Good deal, indeed. That's a lot of tools for very little.

Do you think that the Porter Cable tools are of a better quality than the Rockwell?

@lll0228: i have no idea about rockwell. never even heard of them before. i know that i have the portercable nicad big set and the lithiumion little set. the batteries are interchangable. and they can survive a lot (one drill fell off the roof of a three story house and just broke the casing a bit, still works perfectly). they are the go to tool of choice at my house. i will tell you that the circlesaw does use thru battery power quickly, but the drills, hammerdrill, and reciprocating saw use at a reasonable rate. my biggest problem is remembering where i left them when it is time for the next job.

@moosezilla: Rockwell is a very respected tool manufacturer. Details here.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
