Which is better for a first power tool set?

The 2-Tool Combo Kit. It costs $149.00 at The Home Depot as of November 4, 2026 and covers drilling and driving, which is most of what a first set gets used for. Add bare tools later on the same 20V MAX batteries.

Is the 6-tool kit worth the extra money?

Only if you will use the saw, grinder or oscillating tool. At $529.00 at Home Depot versus $149.00 for the 2-tool kit, you are paying about $380 for four more tools and ToughSystem storage.

Do both kits use the same batteries?
