I’m about to pick up a fuel grinder/sawzall/impact/drill/circ saw and was wondering if there is any news on offering these in a combo? Save me a few hundred $$$.
It might be later in 2014 I don’t think we will see all Fuel tool kits anytime soon. I could be totally wrong but things don’t change too much over the holidays.
I don’t know of any but you know how some combo kits include flash lights? It would be sweet if they included the new m18 flood light in a fuel combo kit.
Would be awesome if they did but I don’t think they will. Milwaukee wants 99 bucks just for the flood light. The flashlight is usually the cheap tool they toss in to up the tool count in the kit :/
I look for Fuel combos by spring, but that’s just a hunch.
The power tool industry is beginning to move away from Big Combo kits. $399 for a Hammer and Impact, so I can only imagine what a 4 or 5 piece combo would be.
I’m sure when they can get the costs down we might see it happen, or they might only include compact batteries or 1 of each capacity. Ryobi stopped including fullsize battery packs in all of their power tool sets. You can only buy them individually now. People like to buy into a system with big combo kit’s.

Wow, I didn’t even notice that the Six piece Ryobi Super combo only has 2.0 amp batteries.
I ask because to buy the 5 items I want it’s going to cost me $1295 which isn’t bad for canadian pricing. Alright placed my order.

Damn! How many of those were bare tools?
2, bought the hammer drill/impact combo, and the sawzall kit with 2 batteries, circ saw and grinder tool only. I wanted four 4ah batteries makes life easier then swapping batteries from tool to tool.
Sweet! Sounds like a nice outfit.
