Is this kit worth it over buying tools separately?

For someone who needs all five tools, the kit covers drilling, driving, two kinds of sawing and sanding in one purchase with two batteries. If you only need a drill and driver, a smaller kit makes more sense.

Are the tools brushless?

Only the oscillating multi-tool is brushless. The drill/driver, impact driver, reciprocating saw and circular saw use brushed motors.

What batteries come in the box?

A 20V MAX 2.0Ah battery and a 20V MAX 4.0Ah battery, plus a charger and a bag.

Can the circular saw cut 2x4s at an angle?

Yes. The 6-1/2 in. carbide blade cuts a 2x4 at 45 degrees in a single pass.

Does the impact driver take standard bits?

It has a 1/4 in. hex chuck, so it takes standard 1/4 in. hex-shank driver bits.

Will the batteries fit other DeWalt 20V MAX tools?

Yes. The batteries and charger work across the DeWalt 20V MAX line.

About the DeWALT DCK551D1M1 20V MAX Contractor's Cordless 5-Tool Combo Kit

This kit combines five 20V MAX cordless tools with two batteries, a charger and a bag. It includes a drill/driver, an impact driver, a reciprocating saw, a circular saw and an oscillating multi-tool.

The DCD771 drill/driver has a two-speed transmission (0-450 and 1,500 rpm) and a motor rated at 300 unit watts out. The DCF885 impact driver is compact at 5.55 in. front to back, so it fits into tight areas. It has 3 LEDs that stay on for 20 seconds after the trigger is released.

The DCS381 reciprocating saw has a keyless blade clamp, so blades change without touching the blade or the reciprocating shaft. The DCS393 circular saw has a 6-1/2 in. carbide blade and cuts 2x4s at a 45-degree angle in a single pass. The DCS356 XR brushless oscillating multi-tool has a 3-speed selector.
