Editorial Review
Milwaukee Tools is world-renowned for producing powerful, heavy-duty tools for contractors, mechanics and demanding professionals in every trade. That very same devotion to power, performance and innovation was applied when Milwaukee created the 0928-29 V28 Four-Piece Combo Kit. Included are a hammer-drill/driver, circular saw, reciprocating saw, and work light. All four tools are powered by a high-performance 28-volt lithium-ion battery that weighs less than an 18-volt Ni-Cad, yet delivers twice the run time. The battery has a handy "fuel gauge" that shows how much power remains.
The hammer-drill/driver has a 1/2-inch keyless chuck and a two-speed, variable-speed motor (zero to 600 rpm, and zero to 1,800 rpm) that delivers a pumped-up 600 in./lbs. of torque. The chuck is equipped with carbide jaws that virtually eliminate bit slippage. There’s no hole too large to drill, or screw too big to drive for this portable powerhouse. And when it’s switched to the hammer mode, this tool will quickly bore through the hardest concrete, brick or stone.
The 6-1/2-inch circular saw is arguably the most powerful cordless saw on the market. According to Milwaukee, this saw can crosscut more than 300 pine 2 by 4s on a single charge. It’s equipped with a high-speed 4,200-rpm motor that chews through wood like a corded saw.
The cordless Sawzall recip saw is an ideal tool for remodelers, plumbers, and electricians. When fitted with the appropriate blade, it’ll cut practically any building material, including nail-embedded wood, metal ducts, plastic pipe, steel rods and roof shingles. Its two-speed, variable-speed motor (zero to 2,000, and zero to 3,000 strokes per minute) lets you choose the optimum cutting speed for the material. The saw has an aggressive 1-1/8-inch stroke length, and is equipped with a tool-free blade clamp and keyless adjustable shoe. The work light comes in handy when working in dark spaces. It has a super-bright xenon bulb that runs over five hours on a single charge.
All four pieces come with the patented Clip-Lok System, which allows you to securely hook the tool onto your belt or tool pouch. Besides the four tools, the 0928-29 combo kit also includes two 28-volt lithium-ion batteries, a one-hour charger, saw blades and screwdriver tips, and an oversized canvas storage bag. -- Joseph Truini

Only the best

I'm only a casual user and have no business owning tools this expensive and heavy duty. However, I can afford it and like how the lithium-ion retains a charge for a long period of time between uses. My 8 year old Dewalt 9.6 and 14.4 cordless drills were great tools but this package is a huge update in so many ways. I also purchased the Milwaukee radio, impact wrench and right angle drill....all amazing and worth every penny. Lastly, I added the new compact Milwaukee V18 drill for the light weight jobs- at just four pounds with battery, it's the perfect compliment to the heavier duty V28 drill. You get what you pay for and Amazon's prices are unbeatable.
What a killer set! Well worth the sales price! 2008-04-08
I had to replace my aging cordless drill and the one manufactuer that I picked was Milwaukee. From all the opinions from other messageboards and friends that have one or more of their cordless V28 system...they are amazed. Now that I have their 4-tool kit, now I can saw WOW!
I have only used the Sawzall and the drill and I am damn glad to have bought this kit. What made it better was that I was able to get a free V28 Impact Wrench!!! Super cool and I can't wait to use that and the circular saw.
When using the Sawzall - it maintained cutting speed for well over a hour of use. The drill - I can feel the torque it generates. The last time I felt that was my old corded unit. I can see this kit last a greater amount of time than and more use than my now retired cordless drill.
My hat is off for Milwaukee on designing and building one hell of a cordless system. Also damn glad to have gotten it on sale and one free tool!!!
Can't believe they're cordless 2008-03-28
I use these tools for framing goods into ocean containers for export using rough-cut, wet, tough lumber. Unpacking the box I was immediately impressed with the look and feel of these cordless tools because they are constructed of the same heavy-duty materials as my corded Milwaukee drills, hammer-drill & sawzal. The carry bag is very well made, tough & durable- I was very impressed.
.
After a few, full days of work using these tools, here are my findings:
The drill is very solid and has an enormous amount of power & at the same time it operates very, very smooth which is a testament to the power of the tool, but i have never experienced this in another drill before. I had drove 1 1/4", 2" & 3" screws through some pretty tough lumber and the drill drives with no problem & very smooth.
.
circular saw: I cut plywood, 2x4's, rough lumber and 4x4's and cannot believe that it really does have as much power as a plug in saw. It is a great, great tool.
.
Sawzall. It is just like any other Milwaukee corded sawzall.
.
The lithium-ion battery system has tons of power. I used my circular saw all day swapping 1 battery and still had power at the end of the work day. One of my batteries was junk out of the box, but these things happen & Milwaukee is going to replace it.
.
This is an incredible, rugged, powerful, very well made set of contractor-grade tools. It comes with a 5-year warranty & 2000 charge warranty on the batteries. I am extremely happy with these tools.
Batteries fail DONT BUY 
2008-02-27
I have had 8 of these batteries fail, all so far have been replaced under warrenty,
i own the hammer drill, impact , sawzaw each has cooked batteries with small poof of smoke from battery and its dead
i advised Milwaukee of what i believe the problem is and the batteries failing they advised that ITS me causing the tool to fail. but they have replaced batteries under warranty
when i first phoned into their support they advised me of AN ISSUE with the batteries which caused them to fry under load/stall. Since that point if i call back they deny they ever told me this and turned the blame on me
if your using the drill and or sawzaw and the bit or blade binds/stalls for a split second it fries the battery.
bottom line dont risk it and buy this tools , mine have been broke more then they have worked
i have used a cheap 30$ walmart drill to finish the job that the milwaukee fried on,
still currently fighting Milwaukee to fix my issue, this time they are CHARGING ME to mail my batteries back in for inspection
BOTTOM LINE IS IF THE DRILL CANT TAKE A SLIGHT STALL OF THE BIT THEN IT SHOULDNT HAVE A DIRECT DRIVE MODE. OR Should say you cant use a spade bit or hole saw bit with this tool. the sawzaw smoked batteries when a slight pinch on the blade while cutting a drain pipe.
Since i thought ok maybe its me, i let others use the tools, a professional mechanic at a auto shop used the sawzaw for 5 mins and fried batteries and proceeded to laugh at the crappy quality of the saw
DONT GET ME WRONG WHEN IT WORKS ITS GREAT.. MOST OF THE TIME I HAVE HAD IT ITS WAITING ON ME TO RETURN THE PRODUCT FOR REPLACEMENT
v28 milwaukee lithium combo kit 2008-02-13
Just got it in the mail the other day!.Being a tool snob and an educated shopper I did my homework on this one.I'm a carpenter by trade and now now a site-super.I already own a panasonic 15.6 and a makita 14.4 impact and drill driver in addition to superior corded drills.Being 43 i wanted this to be final hurrah in the cordless foray...Boy am i right!!..So far the circular saw is unstoppable and the sawzall is just as impressive...Havnt used the hammerdrill...but its reputation speaks for itself....I tend on using these tools when the occasion arises i.e a tough situation and location...crawl space or attic!! or form work!!..totally the best...
Gimme a break!

I love these tools and the power but the damn flashlight was assembled in a hurry or something. The connections inside have broken due to the wires rubbing against the swivel head. What's up with the quality control over at milwaukee.
28 volt power madness 2008-05-03
I waited for a conciderable amount of time before making a decision to buy this Milwaukee combo kit. As a life long Milwaukee power tool user I looked at all the other options that were provided by Makita, DeWalt, Porter-Cable, Hilti... I was not disapointed with my purchase in the least. Compared to my worm drive circular saw the battery powered unit is so easy to use, much lighter and rip cuts so well I may sell my corded one because it won't be getting much use. The Sawzall also works really well once again making me look twice at what I can get for corded version, if sold. The Litium Ion batteries charge up fast and are very powerful but I think that Milwaukee has it right when they suggest to charge te batteries overnight one a week to make sure that they remain conditioned to maintain full all day lasting power on the job sites. One last thing to mention, the hammer drill is also fabulous if not a little heavy when using it inverted above your frequently during the day, or driving screws, but as usual Milwaukee made it eavy duty and bomb proof. These are not your average Do It Yourselfers tools. Truly professional grade! Keeping that in mind, I would not trade the power of these tools for a litle bit of a workout that they offer because of the additional weight of the batteries. Also I think that the individual boxes that are offered on Amazon is a good investment when carrying the bag with all the blades, bits and additional tools becomes difficult to organize. I'm really happy with this combo... but I think that's obvious by now.
milwaukee v28 is excellent 2008-04-21
these tools have more power than any other cordless tools. I cut 100 decking boards on one battery and still had power left. the circular saw has the power of a corded one. well worth the money.
The Ferrari of Power Tools 2008-04-19
Milwaukee pretty much invented the Lithium Ion Battery for power tools. I can leave a tool lying around for months... then pick it up and the batteries will still work like new. And these tools are powerful! I would defintely recommend these tools to anyone looking for a great set of power tools.
heavy duty? not really 2008-04-19
Just bought the V28 set and put it to work right away. The batteries are good but not as good as all the hype. The 1/2 hammer drill was used to drill 5/8 " holes in a concrete pad with brand new Bosch bit and it started spinning grease out of the chuck shaft. Not a little, but a lot. The drill lost reverse and would only turn clockwise. I contacted two Milwaukee service centers for warranty work since the drill was only a couple of days old. Both shops were nice enough but one was too busy to give me the attention I needed on the tool. I mailed the tool to a shop 75 miles away and they said they would replace the switch. The repairer kept blowing off the grease thing. I would have expected more from a warranty on a very expensive tool the was only used one day. It should have been replaced or at least thoughly checked out. Once I get it back, been two weeks now, I hope it's as good as new. Maybe spend the money on different set?
