Which kit is better for cutting lumber?

The 6-tool brushless kit. It includes a 6-1/2 in. circular saw and a reciprocating saw with a 1-1/8 in. stroke. The 5-tool kit lists no saws.

Is the 6-tool kit worth about $268 more?

If you need a circular saw, recip saw and multi-tool, yes. Buying those three separately usually costs more than the gap. If you only drill, the 5-tool kit covers it for less.

Do both kits use the same 20V MAX batteries?

Yes. Both are DeWalt 20V MAX and include two batteries and a charger, so packs work across tools from either kit.

Which is better for a DIY remodel?

The 5-tool kit handles drilling and light work at a lower price. Step up to the 6-tool kit if the remodel involves framing, demolition or trim cuts.
