Home Depot Deal of the day covers cordless tools with Rigid being the headliner. But they also have a "deal" on the Flexvolt sidewinder circular saw, two 6AH Flexvolt batts (4 AH charger) AND an 887 20 volt impact driver and a bag. This is one of the higher rated impact drivers with three speeds and lights and very decent torque. The sidewinder circular saw is one of two FlexVolt circular saws and is very good for the homeowner who does some serious DIYing.
This is NOT the very best deal but for this time of year OK. AND, of interest, is that they are putting a relatively low level 4AH charger the 115 in on the deal. This is new, I believe on this kind of deal. They used to put the 6AH or commonly the 12AH fast charger. In fact on the second deal below that switches out the circ saw for the recip 60 volt, they DO have the fast charger. That may be a better deal if only for that and IF you need that kind of saw vs the circ saw.

$20 more and has DCD996 hammer drill instead of the driver
$20 more and has DCD996 hammer drill instead of the driver
Edit: my post is incorrect. same batteries in both deals
It's the same battery 2ah @ 60v
Two batteries only. Each battery is 6ah @ 20v or also known as 2ah @ 60v
DOES SIZE MATTER? Dewalt FLEXVOLT -vs- Compact & Standard 20v Lithium Battery Packs

Have you tried using speed 2 or 3? I've never had issues driving screws into studs with this.
