I cant decide if I want the 6AH + 4Ah or the 5 and 5AH kit. Probably doesnt matter but maybe the 6AH could be more useful at times.

Fwiw the 6 is physically larger than the 5 but puts out more amps iirc (uses the newer larger cells) 4 and 5 are the same size but 5 is slightly but not much better in output. So if you have high demand tools I'd get the 6/4, if not I'd get the 5/5. Also iirc this deal is not hackable like the HD deal.

If you don't really need the batteries buy the home depot set and return the batteries (they still allow a pro-rated return) and you get the router for around 105 IIRC, I've been contemplating buying it myself actually.

The Home Depot deal for the 6 and 4 I found shows "sold out," and not at a particular store, but in general. Where are you all looking?

Lot of stores have "limited stock" which means you can probably still buy in store (deal works the same way in store as online) or you can find a zipcode that has a nearby store with stock and choose pickup at whatever store, if you're trying to do a hack on a tool and not the batteries it really doesn't matter what store you pick for pickup, just you may have to wait longer for them to get around to cancelling your order.

Got it, thanks. Doesn't work though if you want to do the hack for the battery.

I was trying to decide which brand to get into for cordless, and I opted for rigid because it seemed slightly cheaper, and I talked myself into thinking the the lifetime warranty made it worth it. Still haven't opened my boxes...did I make a blunder?

IMHO every brand has strengths and weaknesses. Ridgid makes decent stuff, they're a TTI brand (Best known of which is big red/milwaukee) so they have plenty of engineering backing. Their octane line especially has some great tools. I'm invested in Dewalt mainly because I'm from a "Dewalt Family" and got good service for years out of a 4 tool starter kit back in the 18v days. If I was buying from scratch today I'd go all Milwaukee as I use my tools as often or more often on car repair as I do home improvement. I'm also a bit of a tool collector vs purely user, so I buy the biggest and badest because I can, not because I'm using them that hard. I have mostly 60v flexvolt dewalt stuff, and a bunch of Milwaukee M12 stuff due to their advantage in automotive and for my "repairs at the in-laws" work. The average DIYer could honestly probably do fine with M12 or Dewalt 12v nowadays, tool tech has exploded and pricing has imploded compared to even a few years ago.

R if you're just DIYing and don't care enough to be a brand snob, buy whatever's cheap and has features/tools you'll use based on the types of things you use tools for. If you want one brand for tools and outdoor power equipment you're somewhat pigeon holed into only the biggest names, for example, because they sell the volume and have the reputation to be able to branch out and offer a wide variety of stuff in that market too.

I don't own either dewalt or milwaukee. I am currently exploring to use batteries from one of these tools for my v8 dyson. while going through the article/blog, i read flexvolt do have more potential than m18 fuel, as they think m18 nattery technology is almost reached it current limitation.
from tool perspective, i see users are split between these and hard to know which is better. i noticed you mentioned you would have gone with milwaukee if you have started it now. can you and others provide more insight on which one to choose between, if to start investing in tools now. Thanks.

Dewalt has hit back pretty hard recently on the automotive/mechanical front but back when I was investing in new tools heavily I might have been better off with M18/M12 due to the shared charger and better selection of automotive tools Milwuakee had. Dewalt has bridged that gap, but I still like the M12 battery format better for smaller tools like the ratchet/stubby/right angle impact. But both brands 18v/20v small impact is now nearly as small and as good so that's not a concern. My general impression is if you're picking from the big two, if you want to do woodworking, get dewalt, if you want to do mechanic/automotive get milwaukee. Anything in between, probably doesn't make much difference.

As far as flexvolt vs M18 etc, higher voltage means lower amperage for a given power in watts, so wire can be smaller/run cooler relative to the same power output from a lower voltage. But the main advantage of flexvolt is having 15 cells in a pack so the total combined amperage of any flexvolt pack is very high. Some of the new flexvolt advantage and power detect stuff leverages this concept but extends it to large 20v packs as well. Milwaukee has a number of tools that can similarly draw higher loads with larger m18 batteries though. FWIW M18 and dewalt 20v are the same useful voltage (5x4.0 freshly charged or 5x3.7v nominal) in europe dewalt has to call their tools 18 and 54 as arguably those are a more realistic measure of the normal voltage of the tools anyway.
