If I didn't already have the Left blade version of the 7-1/4" saw, I'd jump on this in a heartbeat. To be fair, the saw is a little underpowered (significantly lower torque than my 25 year old Skil 120v sidewinder) in my opinion. It may not be the best option if you're going to be doing deck work with wet S. Pine, but it's perfectly acceptable for plywood and 1x, 5/4 and decent on dry 2x/3x stock with a little patience.

It's not included in the promo, or is the read handle (screw drive) version, which I'd like to upgrade to. Only the right handed sidewinder is included in this, unfortunately. Still a decent deal if you don't have one and need one from time to time.

I'm pretty heavily invested in the Bosch 18v line and I'd really like a circ saw, but I'm waiting for a decent deal on one with track-compatibility.

If it had a West Coast blade I'd be all over this deal with a saw.

This deal is more overhyped than it is. The battery and charger MSRP is highly overpriced and they frequently sold on sale. As for the tools, most of them are rarely used and sold models, high torque drill, router and jigsaw are for professionals, the rest are not popular and bad models that are being replaced. Bosch is currently releasing a bunch of updated models. So you basically buy what you will not ever use simply because there is a sale. Lowes and Bosch offer good battery bite with old unpopular tools.
FYI, ebay scalpers/resellers stockpiled on these and are already trying to make free money. So these will be sold on ebay at big discount for quite a while.

Can you do the hack same as Home Depot Milwaukee deals?

If you pick the recip saw, the battery is $80. That's dirt cheap for a tabless battery. I already have that charger and never use it.

Thanks. I was considering the 7 1/4" circular saw. Any input if its worth for what it is or look for some other circular saw brand.

I believe the Bulldog rotating hammer drill is a good tool, but there are 2 types. not sure which is better.

Circular saw is a niche tool for builders, whoever is planning to buy one should already have experience and knowledge. If you haven't used it most likely you don't need it. For DIY it's better to buy a table saw.
Bosch Bulldog hammer should be the long model, it is the original and most perfect design that gives least vibrations to your bones. The short ones are marketing gimmick. Many dumb youtube reviewers who drive the sales don't have experience and don't know a thing about the tools and judge by their imagination. So the tool makers try to follow the trend and make something that doesn't make sense. And bulldog hummer only needed if you plan to drill concrete a lot, also for professional builders.
