Is this kit worth it over buying tools separately?

For someone starting out, yes: nine tools on one battery platform usually undercut buying each piece alone. If you only need a drill and driver, a smaller kit is the better fit.

Are these brushless tools?

No. The drill, impact driver, saws and grinder use brushed motors. DeWalt's brushless 20V MAX tools are more efficient and powerful but cost more.

What batteries come in the box?

Bundles vary. Some ship with two batteries and a charger, others with different counts. Confirm the exact contents of the bundle you are buying before ordering.

Can I use my existing 20V MAX batteries?

Yes. All nine tools run on DeWalt 20V MAX lithium-ion packs, so existing batteries and chargers work with them.

Is the circular saw big enough for framing?

It has a 6-1/2 in blade and cuts a 2x4 at 45 degrees in one pass, which covers most trim and light framing. For repeated thick cuts, a larger or corded saw is better.

What is the Bluetooth speaker for?

It streams audio from a phone or tablet on the jobsite and runs on the same 20V MAX battery as the tools.

What reviewers say

Owners rate the kit highly as a value way onto the 20V MAX platform, with the impact driver and oscillating tool singled out. The circular saw and grinder are the usual weak points, and some wish the kit included brushless tools.

What people mention

Impact driverPraisedOwners call it compact and well lit, with the three LEDs and delay useful in dark spaces.
Circular sawCriticisedReviewers say it struggles in thicker or wet lumber and prefer a corded or brushless saw for big cuts.
Oscillating toolPraisedThe quick-change accessory system is called a real time-saver on trim and drywall work.
Battery lifeMixedRun time is fine for drilling and driving, but the grinder and recip saw drain packs fast.
Motor typeCriticisedSome buyers note the tools are brushed rather than brushless, which newer rival kits offer.
Kit contentsMixedShoppers like the range of tools but note batteries and charger differ between bundles.

About the DEWALT 20V MAX Power Tools 9 Cordless Tool Combo

The oscillating tool (DCS355) has a quick-change accessory system that swaps blades and attachments without wrenches. The 4-1/2-in grinder (DCG412) has a 7,000 RPM motor for cutting and grinding.
