Milwaukee and Dewalt have fanboys rooted in the marketing hype. Despite the debates here, Milwaukee and Dewalt are more like twins than they are different. It is like debating whether an Accord or Camry is better, as if they are massively different vehicles.
The truth is that Team Red and Team Yellow spend millions of dollars in marketing alone to recruit consumers to buy into their products. That is the real reason why they offer so many lines of tools (12v, 18v/20v, Fuel, Surge, Flexvolt, Power Detect, XR, Atomic, blah, blah, blah). It's like dangling various bait when fishing, hoping one hits. At some price point, they are hoping you bite and then it is game over, you're sucked into their line and forever drinking their Kool-Aid.
If I had to do it all over again, I would probably choose Rigid. They have quality tools, decent prices, but win big time by offering a great warranty policy, even on batteries. If a Dewalt or Milwaukee battery goes bad, you're shelling out another $50 or so for a new one. If a Rigid battery goes bad, you can swap it for a new one for free. They might not have the marketing power and variety of other lines, but most every tool you would need for 99% of jobs, they make. Just my 2 cents.
I got the circular saw and battery for $100. Already had recip from another deal but really wanted this for the battery. Doesn't hurt to add another cordless to the collection. Thanks OP.

So I just bought the recip saw. Wondering if I truly need it - I already have a Dewalt 20v circular saw, jigsaw (wired), and a multi-tool with a set of wood and metal blades. Is a recip saw faster?
It'll help cut shrubbery if you get the right blade for it.

Keep it! It's a solid deal. Each of those saws have specific uses where they are most effective. A recip saw is no different. I use mine a lot for DIY stuff. It's great for demo work and where precise cuts aren't necessary. East to swap blades to cut wood, metal, plastic/PVC, etc.
In for the circular saw. I don't have a cordless one. I also got 5% more off for using the Lowe's CC. I haven't used it in years. I forgot I still had it. Great price for a decent cordless circular saw and 5ah battery.
