Hey everyone! I just bought my first toolkit for home improvements, and I'm on the lookout for some extra batteries. I picked up a Dewalt tool kit from Lowe's for $600, which you can check out [here](https://www.lowes.com/pd/DEWALT-7-Tool-Site-Ready-Combo-Kit/5015431459). Now, I'm trying to decide between two options:
1. A $200 deal that includes 2 20V 4AH batteries and one "free" tool.
2. A $300 deal with 2 20V 5AH batteries plus two "free" tools.
I definitely want the SDS hammer drill, but I'm unsure about the second tool. I was thinking about getting a 1/2 inch impact wrench, but it's not XR, and I kind of want everything to match. What do you all recommend? Also, I missed earlier sales, so I'm eager to get a good deal!

I think the $300 deal was a smart choice! You get better battery life with those 5AH batteries, and the extra tool options are nice. I got the router and cutoff tool with mine and even sold the extra battery and charger on eBay. In the end, I paid a little over $200 for both tools, which was a win! If you're eyeing that SDS hammer drill, you won't regret it. It’s super useful for tougher jobs.
I agree with the others! The $300 deal gives you more flexibility and better performance with the 5AH batteries. Plus, those 5AH batteries are worth it in the long run if you plan on expanding your collection. If you can, try to match those tools. It'll look awesome!
That's a clever way to save some cash! I’ve been considering getting a router too, but I rarely do woodworking. Keeping an eye on sales is a good idea; it’s always nice to grab tools when the prices drop!
