Didn't take long. This deal is supposed to be good until August according to Makita's website, just hard to find someone that can keep it in stock

do it separately..

add this saw

then select the batteries of choice below that.

also works with the rear handle saw

Can't decide between the rear handle or the standard one so I ordered both

Can someone help in highlighting the difference and pros/cons for a beginner wood worker?

This is a holy war question between some woodworkers. But look up worm drive vs. sidewinder and read all the passionate reviews and explanations.

I grabbed this the last time around. The box was shipped to the wrong address and I had a hell of time with Fedex. Then, a neighbor brings it over.

So, the box is completely torn up and retaped together, but it clearly looks like it was done by home depot. Upon opening, the main tool was not covered with cellophane like the other stuff, although it looked new. There were two batteries locked into the tool which were completely dead!

I thought about returning it, but decided to keep it simply because I don't want to go to Home Depot. The batteries did charge to the fullest. If I had to guess, I think HD pieced this kit together from separate returns on a piece by piece basis.
