When you are thinking of buying a battery tool, my tip would be to buy the cheapest tool in the range first.

This gets you the charger, also try and get one with two batteries.

Next step is to buy the other tools in the range as bare tools.

You can also pick up re-conditioned bare tools and possibly save even more.

Last part add extra batteries as you go along to suit your needs.

This will allow you to spread your spending over a period of time, and also pick and choose the tools you need from the range rather than be tied to what is included in a kit. 😀

Great Tip.

The other thing I did not mention is it also means that you have the charger for your country, which allows you to buy the bare tools from abroad if you spot a bargain on line.(just be aware and always ask about the cost of shipping) 😀

Good point. Never thought about the charger aspect. Amazing what you can do with a little research to save some money
