Larger kit seems like the better deal by far. Actually pretty tempting, even though I have a very full Hitachi lineup.

I got the same deal last year. Didn't see the specs mentioning anything about brushed or brushless, so I assumed they were all brushed. However, the driver is my favorite one, I like it more than my Dewalt and Milwaukee brushless ones.

BTW, I ended up selling the rotary hammer, because of the bigger one from the deal several days ago.

By the bigger one, you mean the five piece? Would this be a good starter home tool set?

Killer, although you would probably never need the rotary hammer (sell it).

I could change it to the circular saw. Would that be more ideal?

Yes, but make sure you submit the rebate for the 4 amp battery, circular saw requires it.

LOL? I've used my corded rotary hammer to drill through brick for a new outdoor spigot, to install exterior lighting on brick, and to drill through brick again to run Ethernet cable for security cameras. I guess it depends on what we consider "beginner" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

He didn't say it was useless, just that a beginner probably wouldn't need it. You can do a lot of what you described with the regular hammer drill too.

Maybe, but also consider the 3 tool kit has the larger 4.0 batteries and the 5 tool only 2.0. Just something to consider.

I'm pretty sure slick deals is now using bots to create random comments to boost posts and deals.

People will always complain about something 🙄

"It's too heavy!"
"It's too light - it feels cheap!"
