A decent deal but....

Battery and charger sold separately.
===============================
But the kit isn't a good one (maybe as a gift). The 1.3ah are about worthless, and with Dewalts quality decline, it would need to be a "slick" deal. If it were $249 for the XR versions and two 3ah and the free tool, then it could be worth it to a weekend woodworker type.
I'm actually curious as to how low the prices on Dewalts will get this year, come November. They probably have a DWS779 Type 33 for $14 and a signed "no liability" clause. Lmao. But seriously, Dewalts prices have dropped so far I can't imagine what they're doing to the tools to continue breaking earnings estimates every quarter.
If you wanted to chase these down on say, eBay, you can get a better deal for new, but not a lot better and a lot more difficult to exchange or return. I still see the brushed predecessor to this impact driver on job sites and still working. At 1500 in/lbs of torque, this brushless one is no slouch, but there is now one above at 1800 in/lbs. Everyone wants the latest and greatest at a giveaway price, when most do not need it.

Dcd70, dcd77, dcd79, dcd99. I bet there are more.

We have a lot of DeWalt and for the Atomic line, the DCD709 [dewalt.com] is probably their best versatile tool for drilling, hammer drilling and with the variable clutch, driving fasteners. The appearance is a little deceiving, because when you pick it up, it is solid and heavier than it would appear to be for it's size. The slimmer handled Atomic oscillating tool is fine, but has a single speed gearbox with a variable speed trigger that does not bother me, as I seldom switch between the 3 speed gearbox of the XR that also has a variable speed trigger.
If I wanted all compact tools, I might consider the 12v Milwaukee line, or maybe even the Bosch, but there will always be a specific tool from one manufacture that is better suited for a specific job than the other. Mostly, whatever battery and charger line invested in, is what people stay with because of the cost and versatility. We do have some Ryobi work lights, because with HD Ryobi days, they are less than half the cost of DeWalt or Milwaukee even when on sale and included two 4 amp batteries, charger and bag.
Maybe that helps...

Never thought about using their UK site.... Some days, I have some difficulty in comparing the various measurements used. Most of the specs are available on the US site, but when I find one that is missing, I will check the UK site. Thanks...
