Picked up these bundles:
Still deciding which one I'm going to keep. Was really only on the market for an angle grinder.

My dilemmas:
I can't weigh in on the rotary hammer or grease gun, but having a cordless circ saw is just so convenient especially when you just need to do a few quick cuts. Its easily my 3rd most used cordless tool behind drills and impact drivers.
i started looking at Craftsman and found this 6 tools for 199. includes to batteries - https://www.lowes.com/pd/CRAFTSMA...5013
if you only need drills, Lowes also has dewalt for 99 (2 tools). https://www.lowes.com/pd/DEWALT-2...ed/3309256
if you need jack of all trades and master of none, this one B&D looks nice for $156 https://www.lowes.com/pd/BLACK-DE...5001852189
It sounds like your dilemma is the parable of a kid in a penny candy store with a dollar to spend.
Better to figure out what you need and not what you want. A deal is only a deal if you need it. Otherwise, it collects dust and with battery operated, soon outdated.
For the occasional usage of an angle grinder, I would and did buy this corded Makita kit [homedepot.com] for the $78 or less delivered. They have been sub $70 and for those with a Military discount, better yet.
For individual battery operated Makita grinder deals, Amazon [amazon.com] has some reasonable deals.
Me, I would be wondering what deals are coming for Father's Day. And don't forget eBay, that almost always has some discount codes for Father's Day if you get in early before some participating sellers raise the price above normal to compensate for the discount.

As for being outdated, these are already technically outdated with the 36v and 40v out there for most of these tools. The majority of the 18v line is more than enough for my needs for the long foreseeable future.
I've got most of what I need in my toolset already, but am borderline a collector of solid tools at this point and don't mind rounding out my home shop with them. If I personally don't have a need for them in the immediate, then maybe a friend of family member will; always like to be prepared for anything.
eBay is great for the occasional one-off or too good to be true deal, but it's a pain if you ever have to deal with the return process there.
Thanks a ton for your suggestions and alternative recommendations; overall useful information.
You mentioned Military discount, so I assumed you served at some point. If so, I sincerely thank you for your service!

lol... Maybe I was projecting from experience, as I have more siht than I will ever use... but it was a deal. If I had another 10,000 sq ft building, there is no doubt that I could fill it.
Personally, I like Makita and before I sold that business, we were a Makita dealer. The biggest issue was their distribution centers that are always waiting on a shipment. You almost have to become a distribution center to have the available inventory.
I don't have any problems with eBay, where a lot of sellers on there are also the same sellers on Amazon. If it is too good to be true, then it is probably another scam artist. I have bit a couple times, but never lost a dime with eBay and PayPal. In fact, have been with both so long that I have concierge numbers with no wait time. What will happen is that the scam artist will have your personal information and perhaps receive 10,000 robo calls as they sell that information.
But, that happens everywhere including the post office, state driver's license and permits, voter registration, credit report facilities, financial applications from wherever, etc., that all sell your data. After all, how does junk mail for a new credit card know you have a 823 credit score? Even the local water company wants your SS number. It is no wonder identity theft is increasingly rampant and they are not choosing the person that has a 400 credit score.

Oh, thanks, but you don't need to thank me. To me, it is just a responsibility from prior to the Revolutionary War that in retrospect, simply exchanged one King for hundreds of them. After all, it did not take long for Washington to take Federal troops into PA to enforce the bigoted Whiskey Tax to pay for the war.
Under the atmosphere of today, I am not sure that I would volunteer to do again for the cheap wages as cannon fodder. You get older, you have a little more intellect on the reality that most all wars are political or profiteering, or both as being synonymous.
Already having two recalls because of the fine print of volunteering, I think I would wait until the created boogeyman shows up here and not from lack of the neocons trying, that may be sooner than we think. They are now playing a very dangerous game that most are oblivious to.
If nothing else, I would be filling my pantry to consume from the oldest to the newest. Just a glitch with the Covid deal and my neighbors were out of everything... like TP where a roll was going for a day's wages in Venezuela. For certain, you will have relatives and so called friends showing up that you have not seen for awhile... But, you will have some battery tools for when the grid goes down.
