Ryobi Brushless Kits - tool + 2x 4AH battery - $140

Not quite the black Friday deal, but an extra battery instead of a drill for $10 less may make some sense for some people. Be sure to post a review of all that brushless goodness.

Thanks for the alert.
That 7 1/4 saw and 2 batts is tempting.

I just received the 7 1/4 saw today to replace my old Makita. Seems decent, ripped an 8 ft 2x4 with ease. It does feel cheap though, just can't pinpoint why?? For $71 with tax though, i cant complain (just the tool).

I agree with the cheap-feeling. I think it’s the shinyness of the plastic and grayness of the rubber grips.

Did you return the drill to get that price?

Yes I did. Now I'm on the hunt for a 4speed Makita 1/4 impact. I tried the Ryobi, but it's huge and heavy compared to my 10yr old Makita. It did have a ton of power though.
