If it had (2) 4ah batteries, maybe.
The 'newer' battery is not some special deal.
Read about battery cell size here:
https://www.sciencedire
21700 cells do have better energy density than 18650 ones..theoretically 6%. In the real world its about 2%. That 2% matters when you are packing thousands of cells into an EV. For about a dozen in a tool battery pack? Meh.
Don't get fooled by a battery pack being shorter. Its also wider and deeper. Maybe you like the dimensional change. It does make a tool stand on end better. That's fine. Personally, I'm indifferent. Give me the most amp-hours for the least money.
Cell QUALITY is what really matters, not cell size.
Manufacturers can introduce other improvements in newer battery packs (better cooling, security features, displays, whatever) and those might be worth paying for..
Just don't confuse a larger cell size with automatically being a better choice.

High discharge is available in both 18650, 21700, and larger cell sizes. 18650s come in 40a too, though I'm not sure a need is there for 40a on any sized cell. At that point, if its truly needed for the job, up the voltage, it'll run cooler. Higher voltage options exist today...with DeWalt and other makes.
Higher discharge cells tend to have shorter lifespans (fewer charge cycles). Its not surprising considering they generate more heat with those higher current draws. Pick your poison on your battery cell.
A manufacturer could make a battery pack with better cooling and higher discharge cells (of any size). I suspect it would not be cheaper to manufacture nor would they sell it for a bargain price either.
I stand by cell size as being about the most inconsequential characteristic of a tool battery pack. Everything else in the design of that pack is more important.
As clever as these compact batteries seem... I HATE that they stick out more, I can't tell you how many times it's prevented me from being able to sink a screw straight, or oscillating tool. Bulging out is bs. Impact always gets 2ah, everything else gets knockoff 6ah.
Hahahahaha! I bought a saw and sander and didn't need them, and returned them when I realized I would rather have my $100

So you get to pay another $50 for the "free" tool. Seems like it's just the right price to me, not a slick deal.

The circular saw's $118 on Amazon. The recip saw's $106. Multitool's $92. The cheapest option plus the $100 for the battery & charger equals $192. Best I can tell, you do NOT "...get to pay another $50 for the "free" tool."
In what way is $160 not a better deal than $192 (or more)?
Am I missing something?

It's a mediocre deal, nothing slick. But I guess it's still not front page so that makes sense. To me, saving $30 on such a large purchase is not enough to get me to jump on it.

Spending $200 is "such a large purchase" but saving $30 (15%) "is not enough" for you to act on?
Is your point that you're so broke that $200 is out of your league or are you so rich that $30 is meaningless to you? Both can't possibly be true.

Good to know! This runs until 6/29, definitely worth waiting to see if father's day beats it...
