I have been on Homedepot.com and looking at the Ridgid Subcompact reciprocating saws.  I see three listings for this saw.

1.  There is the R8648 – Saw Only for $129

2. There is the R8648KN – Saw + Charger + 2.0 battery for $179

3. There is a R8648K – Saw + Charger + 2.0 Battery for $268

My question is, what is the difference in the R8648K that would make it almost $100 more expensive than the R8648KN?  Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
Thanks.
