The PC418C kit includes everything you need to complete many projects.
Drill/Driver Handles the Toughest Jobs
The drill/driver features a high-performance motor and two-speed gearbox that will deliver enough power and torque to get even the toughest jobs done quickly. The low gear setting offers high torque for heavy duty screwdriving, while the high gear provides optimum RPMs for quick drilling. The drill has a metal, single-sleeve half-inch chuck, which provides secure bit retention and solid durability. The drill/driver also includes a convenient, integrated LED work light that makes working in dark basements and dimly lit corners easier. An over-molded, contoured grip keeps your hand comfortable even during heavy and prolonged use.
Two Saws for Different Cuts
The PC186CS 6-1/2-inch circular saw features carbide tips that let you make long cuts with ease and efficiency, and the PC1800RS reciprocating saw features a compact size that allows it to be used in tight spaces.
Handy Flashlight Illuminates Dark Work Areas
When you work long hours into darkness or in a dimly lit basement, the PC1800L flashlight will conveniently light up dark work areas, letting you continue until the job is done.
Convenient Cordless Operation
Thanks to the tools' cordless design, you can work safely and efficiently. The included NiCad battery packs work interchangeably with the tools, as well as with other tools in the Porter-Cable Tradesman cordless line. Additional batteries can be purchased separately. The included fast charger minimizes downtime by recharging batteries in under an hour.

This is the impact drill video. The impact position is the moment of truth in the golf swing. It really does not matter what you look like on your backswing and follow thru as long as you have the correct fundamentals at impact...where the club strikes the ball. Virtually all golfers have unique looking swings even at the tour player level. Dispite their full variations, all great golfers look the same at impact and that is what this drill teaches. Start the drill in the correct impact position; hands ahead of the ball, right knee moving slightly towards the target, shoulders and hips starting to clear. Make a mniature swing back and then let the body drive the club down and thru the ball. When you do this correctly you will feel how consistently you begin to strike the ball and how consistent your trajectory looks.

This drill was used to make holes for dynamite. It's over 100 years old, spent most of that time buried in mud and water and still works.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes is a revolution; an action-packed epic featuring stunning visual effects and creatures unlike anything ever seen before. At the story's heart is Caesar (Andy Serkis), a chimpanzee who gains human-like intelligence and emotions from an experimental drug. Raised like a child by the drug's creator (James Franco), Caesar ultimately finds himself taken from the humans he loves and imprisoned. Seeking justice, Caesar assembles a simian army and escapes -- putting man and primate on a collision course that could change the planet forever.

A galaxy's worth of nihilism buried under a '70s Velveeta topping, the Planet of the Apes series stands today as a dark marvel of pop cinema, a group of wildly variable films that combine to form a giant inescapable kiss-off to the human race. (That said message was able to withstand such distractions as ever-cheapening makeup and Charlton Heston loudly pounding sand makes its achievements even more impressive, really.) Boasting a keen awareness of its predecessors' particular charms and a gem of a central CGI performance by Andy Serkis, Rise of the Planet of the Apes makes for a rather miraculous summer movie: a big-budget special effects extravaganza that also delivers a killer backhand. Sort of redoing 1972's Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, the film follows the events set in motion when a bereaved scientist (James Franco) attempts to create a cure for Alzheimer's, resulting in a supernaturally intelligent chimp named Caesar. The old bit about science tampering in God's domain quickly applies. Director Rupert Wyatt (The Escapist) displays an admirable sense of pacing, deftly levying the escalating action scenes with small character moments from the likes of John Lithgow and Brian Cox. That said, the film belongs to Caesar, whose path from wide-eyed innocent to reluctant revolutionary generates the ironic pulp empathy that gave the original series such a kick. Watching the climactic confrontation on the Golden Gate Bridge, it's distressingly easy to figure out which side to root for. Chuck Heston would no doubt grit his teeth in approval. Note: Those skeptical that this revamp could wholly retain the original's doomy backbeat would do well to stick around during the end credits. --Andrew Wright
