If they were fuel, would be all over this.

This seems like a great deal, possibly overdoing it for the average homeowner.

I have many of these tools. This is a great set for construction work and the Milwaukee platform is excellent for growth.

One huge plus is they give you a real Sawzall and not a "hackzall."
One minor downside is that the 1/4" impact driver is 18V and not 12V, which makes the tool heavier than it needs to be. The included charger supports the 12V batteries, so you can buy a 12V impact driver some day if you want. Just use the smaller battery with the impact driver. It's a great tool and I use it more than all the other tools combined. I removed the bulky belt hook from mine; you just unscrew it if you want.

Another downside which is common to all of these sets is that the circular saw is only 6 1/2". Again, common in these kits, but 7 1/4" is better; a 6 1/2" blade can cut just 2 1/8". No problem for 2x4's but if you want to cut 4x4 fence posts you'll need something else.

Am I saying the kit is bad? No. It's a great setup, and very expandable. I've added ratchets, a 1/2" impact wrench, a leaf blower and some lights which all use the same batteries. Works great.

Didn't this same deal get seriously down voted a couple weeks ago for not being "fuel"?

And it doesn't have ten batteries.
And it doesn't have a 1/2" impact wrench

It doesn't take a genius IQ to figure out that a product could be more expensive or have more features. In all honestly, I have these tools, only my impact wrench is Fuel, and I don't really miss anything.

BTW, the batteries in this kit are Fuel batteries. So there's that.

So, I can't seem to find the "perfect" bundle for me and I'm not sure which order I should do things, if anyone has any advice...

I think I need/want: Drill, Hedge Trimmer, Blower, and Circular Saw. (and maybe a sawzall)

I know I'm not going to get exactly that... but it seems like all the bundle come with two drills and a bunch of other stuff.

I see combos with hedge trimmers and blowers, one with a circular saw, and one with a bunch of stuff that also included a sawzall. Is there a "usual" order to do this so you don't spend too much? I mean, I also don't want to end up with like 20 batteries and 10 chargers. Are there some tools that go on sale more often then others?

They never bundle gardening equipment with the other general purpose tools. You might as well get a combo that's just the trimmer and blower. Than buy another kit that has the other tools that you need (drill, driver, circular saw, etc...). Just buy what you need.

U need to chill, take a deep breath, count to ten, or whatever makes you come off that ledge. Lol. "I" was the one in the previous thread who said that was a good deal for most homeowners. It was getting a ton of down votes. I simply asked a question. Damn...people these days. Crazy. Lol.

Not only is this not FUEL it's not even brushless. I find it hard to believe anyone will pay this much for a brushed set Milwaukee or not

This is an ok set of tools from a great brand. If you're just starting out owning tools for light work, this will work. Just keep in mind it's not brushless nor FUEL so you're not getting the best performance nor battery life. The retail price of $900 is ridiculous though.

I'd assumed it was a rhetorical question. Why are you so fixated on this? You thought it was a good deal, I agreed with you, I don't see any problem here.
