The DCK248D2 appears to be a step up in performance, particularly with its higher RPM drill and the powerful DCF887 impact driver, placing it in the higher-end of DeWalt's cordless tool offerings.While the DCK225D2 (Home Depot) emphasized compactness (ATOMIC series), the DCK248D2 in the XR series focuses more on delivering professional-grade power and runtime. Compared to the DCK227D2 (Northern Tool's), the DCK248D2 features a drill with a higher top speed. The impact drivers have comparable high torque, but the DCF887 offers the added versatility of three speed settings. |

If I'm trying to start from scratch with Dewalt should I return it and wait for a 6- tool bundle kit ?

I think you'll be fine, but you have to do what makes you happy.

Edit: At the very least, if you don't need one of the above tools or the box you can sell them on Marketplace for at least $100. If you were to sell the saw, multi-tool, angle grinder, sander and the travel box you'd make back $500 and still end up with a 2ah and 5ah battery, a driver and drill and make your money back. Spend an extra $20 getting a Sofrin Hs41 headlamp so you can work in low light conditions or shine the light on imperfections if you are drywalling, painting, working in attics, plumbing, etc. If you want to take it a step further spend another $30 for a Makita impact set, and another $20 for some decent drill bits. This would get you a good starting kit for most work you'd need to/want to do while still leaving room/money to grow your kit while still being able to pick and choose when you want to jump on the next deal.

Wait for a deal coming up on a DCF860 driver around $90-$99, and sell the DCF887 Driver.
I would also wait to buy the 6ah battery with 6amp charger kit from Home Depot to return at the $65.
If you have plans for a multi tool, the DCS356 can be had for $99 with 2ah battery.
The DCS356D1 kit can be had $99-$120
Amazon actually has it now for $118 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SOU6LR4?lv
I'll say, I never had plans for one, but I bought one on impulse/great deal a few years ago, and I don't know how I did things without one. You'll know what I'm talking about if you ever get one.
I would piece your own kit together, how you want it!
DeWalt only has 1 or 2 "expensive" quality high end kits. Everything else will have filler tools or low quality tools!
Just my 2 cents.
