- Is this kit worth it over buying the tools separately?
- Usually yes if you need all three tools and the FLEXVOLT battery. Buying a brushless drill, impact driver, 6-1/2 in. saw and a 6Ah FLEXVOLT pack separately costs noticeably more than the kit price.
- Does the FLEXVOLT 6Ah battery work in other DeWalt tools?
- Yes. It fits any DeWalt 20V MAX tool and also powers 60V MAX tools at their full voltage. That cross-compatibility is the main reason to choose this kit over a standard 20V kit.
- How does this compare with DeWalt's older brushed combo kits?
- The brushless motors here run cooler and deliver more runtime per charge than the brushed versions. You also get the FLEXVOLT pack instead of standard 20V batteries, which adds 60V MAX compatibility.
- What can the 6-1/2 in. circular saw cut?
- It cuts 2x4s at 90 degrees in one pass and handles plywood, siding and trim well. It is not meant for deep cuts in thick timbers; for those you want a 7-1/4 in. saw.
- What is in the box?
- The kit includes the brushless drill/driver, impact driver, 6-1/2 in. circular saw, one FLEXVOLT 6Ah battery, a charger and a contractor bag. Check the listing for the exact blade and belt-clip contents.
- When is the best time to buy this kit?
- DeWalt combo kits drop most around Black Friday, Father's Day and end-of-season tool events. The current best price is already near the low end of its recent range, so waiting may not save much.
