i missed the 2 free tools deal at $99
i bought these and am waiting to open/return them
hoping a better deal (even than $129) comes back, hopefully the $99 again- but prob wont

brushless circular saw 66.16
shop vac 6 gal 62.95
brushless recip saw 66.16
brushless jigsaw 69.14
brushless impact driver 59.48
4ah batt 2pk 59.48

at these prices, i prob wont bother to return them and then repurchase on this newer deal
price difference is too small

I'm in the same boat. Bought the brushless recip saw and 2 3ah battery kit for $150. Gonna return today and buy again, or see if they'll do a price adjustment

Quick tip - if you are purchasing with the intent to return - suggest you ship the item you want and select pick up in store for the item you don't. When not picked up for a few weeks, HD will cancel the order; saving you a trip to the service desk

Is that the better of Ryobi impact drivers?

Last year they had a Ryobi deal for a 3-tool kit plus two free tools that started out around $259 and dropped all the way to $159. So there's a decent chance this deal will drop further tool.

Anybody have both the 6.5" and this brushless 7 1/4" circular saw that can comment if it's worth the upgrade? I don't have any of the HP+ batteries (but may down the road). I use the 6.5" mainly for breaking down sheet goods when I don't want to deal with the cord on my 7 1/4" Skil worm drive circ saw. My current one works ok but I tend to reach for the corded saw on thicker goods (even 3/4") for fear of the small one bogging down :-). I guess I don't trust it and don't like not being able to swap same-sized blades. After initial breakdown, I move on to my table saw for most additional cuts.

The 7-1/4" brushless circular saw is a big improvement, especially with a Diablo blade. The 6-1/2" will bog down and stall, whereas the 7-1/4" powers through.

The battery kit in this deal includes HP batteries, made for brushless tools.

There are a couple of YouTube videos demonstrating the differences and performance of the saws.

with the new batteries designed for brushless, the 7 1/4" brushless saw is a beast

way better than the craftsman 6.5 " one that i had before, which is the same as the ryobi one (both made by TTI)

Cool, thanks, I'll see if I can find the comparison videos! I do have the 6.5" diablo blade so it does pretty good—never bogged down on me. But just like cars, I always want more power!

What would cost be if you bought the set and then return the batteries?

pass on it, unless cordless is more important to you than power. It does not have great suction and it destroys (depletes charge) batteries in minutes.
