The bat was great until the beam in the middle broke from hitting one off the handle. The return policy does not cover that, so I was out a lot of money. Hit well, but I would not buy a Z3000 again.

I own a lot of dewalt brand tools and they work as great most of the time and they are my preferred brand. This tool was no exception when I started using it. I like the overall function of this a lot better than my older bostitch one. The reason I'm giving this a 2 star is because the oring on the cylinder broke after 7 months in the middle of a project. I use this tool moderately and I expect a higher standard from dewalt's tools.

I very much enjoyed shooting this thing right up until the safety catch broke around the 30th shot. Returned and replaced with a more robust model.

My son used this bat for a Mother's Day weekend tournament.  It performed well but the pink did chip off more quickly than I thought it would.  Bat was solid though.

My 2 1/2 year old LOVES this toy.  He's all about trucks and this one he can do more than just push around.  It was his FAVORITE until it broke...twice.  My son is not particularly rambunctious or hard on his toys.  He was trying to make it navigate a small pile of dirt in the garden and apparently pushed too hard from the top of the trailer section and the bottoms of the supports broke on both sides. There is no way to fix that.  I watched him do this and he was not being rough.  My suggestion to other parents is to make sure this stays and inside toy.  I think the dirt took the pressure off the wheels and that created a weak spot.  I let him continue to play with the front cab and a few weeks later a big chunk in the left headlight came off.  I am pretty sure he dropped it.  I guess I just expected more from a wooden toy.  All his other wooden toys have withstood some mild abuse.  I'm quite torn in whether I should buy him another one because he loved it so much, but don't want to waste any more $$$.

I bought this bat for my 11-year-old son's wood bat tournament. He led off and was hit by a pitch. His buddy, who bats second, borrowed the bat and literally the first time the bat made contact with a baseball it shattered. I can tell from a mark on the barrel (there is only one) that he held the bat properly and hit the ball with the label up. Maybe I got a defective one or maybe drop 7.5 is simply too much for a wood bat.

My son received the bat less than 2 months ago and it is not obviously dented but the barrel is not straight and it sounds dull when he hits the ball. This bat should have lasted longer than this!

Beautiful bat, Good pop (not great) for the budget it was the best bat I could buy I don'r regret it, it is excellent although it chips very easily.  There are other good bats outthere be sure to read specifications before buying

I believe this was a good product for the nine months that I had it. The display is easy to read, though I do wish I wouldn't cut off as soon as it does but that's not worthy of taking any stars away. The flashlight that it comes with is adequate enough given the battery size needed for the tool.

My two gripes are:
1) The pointed hammer became lodged in the closed position. I had to take a small screwdriver to pry it out which required much more force than anticipated. This action left the hammer unable to go back to it's fully closed position in the tool. Not a major crises, but something to be called out.
2) After around nine months of use the display no longer illuminated which no longer allows me to check tire pressure. It shouldn't be a battery issue as the flashlight is working properly.

It was great until the wind blew it off the deck and broke it. The weights blew off with it.

Bat had great pop right out of the wrapper,  but developed about a 3" crack with a triangular pattern after only five months of use.  Bat was returned in December under warranty and the replacement bat was approved.  Currently it is now mid January and the warranty replacement has still not been shipped (or produced).  Have been given multiple ship dates by DeMarini for the bat to ship, but now it has been pushed out yet again to the end of the month.  Retailers orders are shipping prior to the warranty replacements.  This is a great bat, but be aware that if a warranty replacement is needed that you will be dropped to the bottom of the food chain in importance.

needs to be broken in a little but once you do that, this bat has great pop. I'm not a home run hitter but with this bat I hit 5 last fall. What normally would have been a lazy flyball just kept carrying with this bat.

This item is a good product. But it broke where the plate is held at. I did get a replacement at no charge, which was great. But that one too broke. I had to go to lowes and get two metal bars with screw holes. To make it sturdy. The reason that it broke is when riding the wind pushes against the license plate and the LED kit can't withstand all the force.

The first bat cracked along the composite handle. Easton replaced it and the new one has lasted for over six months now. However, the bat does not see a lot of use since a big barrel bat has taken its place.

The performance of the bat is really good. The ball has a lot of pop off the bat. I would have given it 5-stars if the first one did not break so soon after purchasing it.

My twin boys got this for Christmas.  It was so much fun to play with.  I even got caught up in it.  Out of all of the toys for the Eagle Talon Castle, this was my personal favorite.  I was playing with my kids all day with it and the castle (and other accessories).  Well, a day later and it was broke.  No one was rough with it, just normal play.  Well, my husband decided to try to fix it.  He took it apart and was amazed that the arm of the catapult only had three TINY teeth.  The middle one had broken.  He fixed it.  It worked fine.  Until a day later.  I would go buy another one, but after seeing the insides I know it just will not hold up.  I really wish it was better made.  Unfortunately, it just isn't.

Bought one of these to replace son's teammate's identical bat that my son broke in a wood bat tournament.  Literally the first time the replacement was used, it broke, too.  Unfortunately, they got frustrated and broke it in half, which makes it pretty tough to return.  Basically two broken bats in two at bats? I believe in ash bats, but the quality here was super disappointing.

Save your money and buy something of decent quality.

My 8 year old son is quite tall for his age and the 29in. size fit him well.  He swings very hard and hit four in the park home runs this summer, mostly 2 and 3 run bombs.  The sweet spot is very good for an all aluminum bat and balance is good but not great.  The problem with this bat was that the end cap is nearly destroyed after 1.5 seasons of games and practices...  We are sending back soon but quite a disappointment for a bat that was never abused and cost me $160 brand new. This sale price makes this bat a hit though.  They are a bit heavy for a small kid but work great for kids who are taller/stronger than average.
