MasterForce 20v Lithium Ion combo set - $399 after MIR, normally $599

Looks like quite a set for the money, with a drill, impact driver, circular saw, jig saw, recip saw, right angle drill and band saw.

I am thinking that Bosch is almost certainly the OEM on these tools.

I love how all these tools are 20v now, like it's some incredible new technology. News flash, marketing department:

All 18v li-on tools are 20v....When they're fully charged.

That being said, looks like a nice setup. If Bosch is the OEM then its a real nice setup.

What makes you think it is Bosch? Looks more like Chervon to me. I'd peak around on the web to find out but I have to run off for a while.

The bandsaw is identical to the Bosch. I bet my left nut it is Bosch. Plus we know Bosch makes other MF tools. And the fat/slim packs are familiar but not at all compatible.

It's not Makita, but maybe older ones were.

I have the older version of this set I think its about 1 year old I bought it when I started building my garage. seem to work great the drills been dropped from the roof a couple times and still works great the saw did not fair quit as good tho its in a few pieces now after being dropped. We also have the drill at work (auto body school) and that still works great after a year and we are hard on stuff there with more than 40 students using it. The drills look real similar to the Makita drills.

An update - bought this for my guy and the band saw at least is CLEARLY the same OEM as the Bosch.

That being said, I am not sure if Bosch is really the OEM or not. This same band saw is also sold as Mastercraft (Canadian Tire).

Overall, I think it's probably still an awesome deal for the price.

damn I wish we had menards here, thats a smokeing deal.
