Confusingly posted. It's $159 only if you choose the sheet sander. Basically, buy the tool or kit, get the battery free. Looks hackable.

Edit: looks like OP fixed it.

They are pushing Powerstack hard. It's not selling well. It's not hard to imagine, when Flexvolt batteries have dropped to where they are. The only reason I would get a Powerstack is to keep my tools lighter, while I use.

I don't feel like the 5ah powerstack is all that impressive. Good, but not worth the premium, get a normal 20V 6ah for more capacity, power, and money left in your wallet.
The smaller (original) 1.7ah powerstack is the tits 👌. Strong, tiny, light, obviously not the same capacity but need to get a big 5ah battery to match the power.

It makes more sense to get a Flexvolt 6 ah battery, than a Powerstack 5 ah battery. About the same price, and you get 20 percent more capacity, and can use in 60v tools.

Part of the marketing strategy could be to give 20v tools a longer lifespan, by selling 20 volt only batteries, as well as, maybe, phasing out standard 20 volt batteries because their value has went down so much.

Milwaukee does the same thing. They don't want their customer base to be angry by abandoning 18v. However, they are in a pickle now, since they started doing the double battery tools. They won't be able to use any new battery platform they develop with those tools, so they will be orphaned.

Dewalt made the right choice by making 60v backwards compatible to 20v tools.

I don't really understand the point of the 5ah powerstack, unless it's just proof of concept. It's the size of a 6ah, so no size advantage, less capacity and it cost twice as much.

PowerStack just didn't scale well. Honestly, even the small one doesn't have the capacity of the 2ah battery. I'm betting if they had made a 2ah powerstack, it would have been as big as the standard 2ah battery.

Current delivery is impressive in the 1.7, but current delivery with the 5ah is equivalent to the standard batteries that size.

The impact wrench comes out to around 250
It's the DCF900 and it's a beast

Hopefully this hack works

My understanding is I don't pickup the battery if I want the tool correct?

I ordered the item and split the order to pick up at to different locations but I didn't had the option to cancel from the website. I ended up calling customer service and cancelling the order. At least it was not hackable that way.
