Not sure if it is price error or 15% off. Showing $415 instead of $499 when adding in cart.
Kit contains
1 x DCD805N-XJ 18V XR Brushless Compact Premium Hammer Drill Driver,
1 x DCF850N-XJ 18V XR Brushless 3 Speed Impact Driver,
2 x DCBP034-XJ 18V XR 1.7ah POWERSTACK Battery,
1 x Charger and TSTAK Kitbox
It probably wasn't the same gear.
Like, same function, but not same model.
It was 18 volts though
If it says 'XR' on it, it'll be a fine tool.
@BargainHunterJohnnyB: Going by some of the reviews some of the older dewalt drills are better and cheaper as older models. So some good bargains can be had.
Looks like a few Dewalt kits are around 15% off when you go to their pages. Was hoping they would do something like this while TotalTools has their Dewalt bonus credit promo running. Nice
Why is brushless important/preferred over a non brushless drill (for general household work)?
More power/longer battery life/you probably won't notice, especially with gear of this quality.
Picked up the exact kit from the Bunnings expo @ sydney showground for $399 with dewalt blower
Does the blower use the same battery as in this kit? Link?
yes the blower is compatible with the powerstack batteries. This is the link to the blower Dewalt DCV100-XE 18V
Are you serious? That’s really cheap!
What's the benefit of this power stack battery?
More power and more compact supposedly.
had a look at their video. they replaced the 18650 cells with cell phone like li-ion cells. better utilizing of the limited space… nothing much special though… marketing gimmick
Yeah i feel its been done more to reduce their costs than be a true improvement.
longer running time, lighter in weight and impact dc850 is really compact. Pretty much like the 12v tools with the power of the 18v tools. When you using a drill all day long your wrist gets tired.
I don't know about longer running time. The capacity is smaller. When they say more 'power' I assume them mean more ampacity, ie being able to supply more current & thus power, but that doesn't directly equate to longer running time.
theres more energy density compared to using the 18650 cells. Also theres double the cycles in comparison to the usual 18650 cells.
@Will Mcdonald: Might be more energy density, but there's no more capacity. If there were it wouldn't be a 1.7Ah battery
I have a set of Ozito, but it can only handle light work.THe drill is really struggling when drill hard wood and steel.
Compare this $599

Bosch: pay $174 more, for a grinder, larger batteries (2*5Ah) and a 40m laser ranger from redemption
Dewalt: has a box
Drill : GSB 18V-85 C (85Nm, bluetooth) vs DCD805N-XJ(90Nm)
Driver : GDX 18V-200 (200Nm) vs DCF850N-XJ(205Nm, 3-mode)
Hard to make the decision. Bro, give me some suggestions.
i started with ozito because they were cheap but it was a waste of money and time. They lack power and accuracy with all their tools.
Batteries aren't cheap these days, go the Bosch I reckon. There's more than $174 of extra value in there
Bosch, Dewalt, Makita, Milwaukee r all decent with no troubles. Ryobi Hp series is good but on the same price point with the rest without many tools
Back to $499 now
Damn i bought one of these the other week and i got an additional angle grinder but only one battery, although that one battery was four or five amp hours… and it only cost $350
