I'm looking for some help in choosing my first power tool kit! There are so many options out there, and I'm hoping to find a great deal. I plan on using the tools mainly for DIY projects, including building a ground-level deck in the near future. The essentials I want in the kit are an impact driver and a circular saw, and I'd like to keep the total cost under $500. Any recommendations?

When it comes to buying a tool kit, I'd recommend steering clear of big bundles. They often include tools that you might not need or want. Instead, check out the Milwaukee M12 Drill and Driver kit. You can grab it for around $150 if you return the free battery. For a circular saw, the M12 Circular Saw is around $91 if you return the free battery too. Altogether, you could get both tools for less than half your budget! If you’re up for it, there’s also a deal where you can get additional tools like a detail sander and a multi-tool for just under $300, adding up to some solid gear for just a bit over your budget. The M12 Fuel tools are definitely worth considering—they're a great value for DIY tasks!
Would you still recommend that M12 drill and driver kit even if I already have a driver?
Definitely stick with Fuel tools from Milwaukee! They're built to last and perform better than their non-Fuel counterparts. For your DIY projects, they’ll handle most tasks easily and will be a great investment in the long run.

Thanks for the advice!
