There're many reasons why someone might want to go with the nicer brushless tools, but the practically non-existent need to replace brushes shouldn't be one of them.
Oh, and another thing, I used to replace brushes in DeWalt products for others - but honestly, by the time those tools needed a brush change, they were so old and beat up that I questioned putting the time and expense into them versus just getting something modern.

Did you go brushed or brushless? I just got the $60 brushed combo, having serious buyers remorse after reading about brushless…
Brushed. I'm not a professional contractor. Brushless is nice, but brushed will work for my needs and probably last long enough that I'll forget how long I've owned them.
Also, while the brushless tools are nice, my brushed set has been working fine for a decade. So for the conversations on the brushed combo sets offered for much less, you are fine. Stick with the brushed set you have until you find a need for a better tool.
Yup, it's still active. That set is the basic drill + impact driver + reciprocating saw + flashlight with a 1.5 Ah and 4.0 Ah battery. (The 4.0 Ah battery is the star of the show… The 1.5 in the hack set is the basic unit with no indicator lights.)
I got in on that one as well, but these tools are much nicer. I needed the multi-tool, and have been eyeing the compact brushless drill/drivers for a while now; most reviews indicate that these newer compact brushless drills are the bees knees; much smaller and lighter, with full power and battery battery life.

That set was a really great deal, but substantially different than this one, even aside from the angle grinder. It didn't have the Compact High Performance drill/drivers, the 1.5 Ah battery in that set was the basic no-gauge battery, the recip saw was full size not one-hand) and it came with a lantern instead of a flashlight. The only part in common was the battery charger.
It was very much a great deal - and the 4.0 Ah battery was a nice sweetener, but all the tools were different.

I just had all my batteries along with my drill, impact driver, and sawzall stolen from my van last night...
Yes it is. The non brushless drill and driver suck compared to the brushless versions. You can easily tell the difference as the brushless tools are at least 2 generations ahead. The impact has more led's, a selector switch for torque, and you pop in driver bits by pushing them in instead of having to pull out the head to unlock first. Way more convenient!
The brushless mini reciprocating saw is worth 3x-4x more than the non brushless 5.5" circular saw. Mine broke the 2nd time I had kickback cutting up plywood. Bearing got trashed. I literally did a dozen cross-cuts on 2x4's, and then tried to cut up 2 sheets of plywood into 1ft strips. Didn't even bother to send it in for warranty.
Buy a HP 7 1/4" circular saw separately. Way more options for blades and usually cheaper and readily available than trying to find a specialty blade for a 5 1/2" or 6 1/2" saw.
Buy a regular size reciprocating saw separately because the one included in your kit sucks too. It's ok for light work.
For $20 more, this brushless kit is a fantastic deal. Your kit goes on sale for $199 a few times a year. It's a good value for someone who is starting with nothing, but I recommend you upgrade now with this deal.
Don't worry about the battery. Around Father's Day, the Ryobi Days event kicks off and you can get extra batteries then. It's $99 for two 4ah batteries, a charger, carry bag, AND choice of free tool. I have a total of 6 batteries now and wish I had the 1.5ah ones. They're not worth buying separately, but more comfortable to use when you only need to use a tool for a few mins. Most of mine are 4ah from the Ryobi Days deal.
You could get a reciprocating saw or circular saw at that point if you need them, but the free circular saw is 6 1/2". I'd recommend you still hold out for a sale on a 7 1/4" saw separately….even if it's a corded one. I now have a 5 1/2" (the broken one), 6 1/2" (Dewalt cordless), 7 1/4" Ryobi cordless, and I'm thinking about getting a corded one because the cordless isn't powerful enough sometimes.
I paid $150 for a five tool set, so about $30/tool. I don't have room for a table saw or miter saw, so besides a jigsaw the circ saw is the only power tool I have that can cut straight. I can't even tell you how many times I used it in the year plus I had it. I would say I got my $30 worth.
Nice where do we apply the military discount?

I'll probably hot glue a hard drive magnet to the recent drill I bought.

Ha - great minds think alike; I was planning to do the exact same. Although I was planning to use JB Weld to hold the magnet…
