The flashlight is brushless

XR does not and never has meant the the tool is brushless. XR tools came out long before the brushless tools were introduced. XR stands for extreme runtime. I will agree that those package deals do usually come with the cheaper models of the tools. If you are looking for good tools, you will rarely find them discounted. You get what you pay for. (Most of the time)

XR stands for “extreme runtime” not an indicator whether or not the motor is brushless. My regular dewalt impact driver is brushless but it’s not xr. Took a quick google search to find that.

You bought an entry level diy discount kit and are comparing it to their premium trade tools, the model numbers are even on the side of e box, unfair to blame Dewalt for your mistake.

You bought something without doing your homework, you can't blame Dewalt for that.

XR is for extended run time. Bigger sized batteries, has nothing to do with motor design.

Welcome to the club. I Sold Dewalt and B&D professional/Industrial many years ago and have been using Dewalt tools for years so I have decades of years of experience with them. They are great at marketing but, not so good at being honest. They make a good tool, as long as you get the tool you were looking for. Great video!

XR=Extreme Runtime BL=BrushLess

Anyone who buys a box load of tools, most that you already own, does not unpack them for over six months, never needed them in the first place, definitely shows that money is plentiful and decision making is questionable .......

That's not fair. You make the mess and your pregnant wife cleans up and puts away for you. LOL!

XR doesn't mean brushless, it means extra runtime

I betcha if you had read the box and ratings this would not have happened. It's up to the consumer to do the homework. Dewalt has put these kits together to give more items to a consumer for the price that works for them. I buy my dewalt tools individually from a dealer here in PA. Getting exactly what I wanted.

I was thinking the same thing. Buying a multi-kit is for people who more rarely use them, and dont need the power of quality tools. If you use tools on a regular basis, you buy them one at a time!

Sooo...you were expecting professional level tools from a kit that literally no professional would buy, that is clearly priced for value buyers... I think you have more problems than DeWalt lol.

So you're mad at DeWalt because you didn't do your research??? I'm quite sure XR means Extended Run. They have been using that branding since long before they even made brushless tools with the XRP (extended run pack) batteries.

Dewalt put XR on the batterys 20 years ago ! Extra Reserve power. Pay attention to the model numbers when you buy .

No different then buying a John Deere mower from Home Depot or Lowe’s and going to a John Deere dealer. There is more then a price difference at the box stores. Cheaper motors and overall cheaper made product then at a dealer. Get what you pay for...

XR does not mean brushless.

I work for a commercial tool and fastener company. We have to continually educate workers thst the price point items (tools made to sell at a certain price), mostly in the big box stores, versus a tool made to do a certain job is NOT the same thing. Another concern you have not mentioned is the tiny 2 or 3 amp hour batteries that the big boxes sell. My company only sells 5 amp hour batteries. It is NOT Dewalt that is fooling you. It is the big box stores driving the tool companies to cheapen their tools, to keep the big boys happy. Leason learned, don't by from the big boxes if you are a professional. Lowes and Home Depot primary markets are homeowners. Don't get fooled, buy from someone who will ask questions and match you with the specific tool for the job your doing.

I think it's safe to say that Jessie isn't going to get sponsored by DeWalt anytime soon!

I ALWAYS research the snot out of tools before I buy. I learned that an emotional buy gets paid for more than once. So double takes get photographed to go home and see just what it really is. Kits are for beginners.

You do NOT want a grinder to immediately brake. Inertia of the wheel/brush/stone on the spindle would unscrew itself (and potentially become an abrasive frisbee ...)

I use Dewalt power tool. There are many different combos and options. That's why you always read the box to see what you are getting!

If you want to be honest BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF, 1st thing to look for is whether or NOT the packaging clearly says BRUSHLESS if it doesn't then DON'T assume it is brushless. Fault is with the CONSUMER and not the maker!

Most of these tool companies have atleast 4 versions of one thing. For example milwakee has brushed, brushed fuel, brushless, brushless fuel. Dewalt has brushed, brushed XR, brushless, and brushless XR. It can be easy to be deceived especially when buying a kit or combo set

Brushed and brushless directly indicates the type of MOTOR. The battery does not enter into the consideration at all except for ~maybe a change in voltage required. Brushless tools ~might last longer in theory if both motors are equal in output power, but in practice, newer brushless motors are generally smaller and less capable and/or built with less longevity in mind. Good on you for bringing this bad marketing to our attention. DeWalt should be fined for misleading customers this way. I suggest you review AvE's video reviews and tear downs of popular power tools.

It wasn't misleading by dewalt xr has nothing to do with brushless tools the Dr range has existed since before there was brushless tools the only issue here is someone not paying attention to what they were purchasing all kits have clear labels of the model numbers of each tool in the kit so you could see the specs of every tool on their website

You mention AvE. If you have seen his videos then you would know the brushless last longer due to smarter electronics. They keep you (the user) from over heating the motor and from damaging the batteries. This is the reason most brushless tools come with far better manufacture warranties than the old tech. Older power tools needed to be more robust physically because you had to really on the user to not damage anything. Ever hold the trigger on a drill to use it as a Screwdriver?

I think he meant that if the motor is more efficient, the battery won't have to work as hard for the tool to develop the same power. My experience is that brushless motors can be half the size of the equivalent power brushed motor because the stator can conduct heat away from the coils.

@jackpatteeuw9244

"... newer brushless motors are generally smaller and less capable ..." I disagree ! Yes, brushless motors are smaller and lighter and consume less power from the same size battery, but are not "less capable". You have to understand that all power tools have gears and the gear RATIO is what is important. Brushless motors, by their nature, spin faster. This means they can be "geared down" more and provide more "power" delivered to the working end of the tool.

I tell everyone never buy the kits just buy the tool with a battery cause you do get the good one that way. They always give a mix of new tools and old out dated ones.

Coming from a generation before you I see why your hooked on cordless but for me appreciate power saws and certainly don't mind a cord with endless use. Batteries in most products are a pain as my cellphone reminds me daily. I think that we have become hooked on freedom from being attached but we should not forget from where we have come. Love the thought and challenge you pose and yes what bothers me most, as you have said, is being deceived. Kudos to you for patience and thourough testing.

DeWalt's been using the XR branding for much longer than they've had any brushless tools, and I've never correlated brushless to their XR branding. In fact, I've always ignored their XR branding. I also don't think the brushed tools will die faster, I've never worn out a brush before some other component failed catastrophically. So I really only think the brushless is better from a low-speed torque and efficiency.

My first dewalt kit was xr labelled that was in 2002 so not only before brushless motors but before lithium batteries as far as I knew xr was the heavier duty version of everything and as for the brushes wearing out my first drill lasted 4 year during my electrical apprenticeship and seriously took like 30min to replace them then got another 2 years before the NiMH batteries just didn't hold enough charge

Plus it is 7 bucks for new brushes most of the time...and they are easy to change

More important than brushless is RPM, Torque, 20 Volt batteries are not 20 volt under load is actually 18 under use, XR is a designation "extreme runtime" Only brushless tools are labeled brushless. they also have the worst warranty of their 3 year warranty only the first year covers parts and labor the final 2 years parts only you pay for labor. in the last 15 years there are only 2 brands that have not changed their battery platforms, Ridgid and Ryobi are able to use new batteries on the old tools, a big benefit to people who buy into a brand. Dewalt is very misleading, Built in USA "(with international parts) 20volts "fully charged, not under load 18volts nominal under load" 3 year warranty "parts and labor only first year, Parts only Year 2 & 3"

I've been watching the house build on and off for a long time now and can never shake the feeling Jesse is just discovering tools for the first time.

As a 67 year old house framer. I use a Skil 77. It is almost as old as I am. No brake. Safety comes from the user not the tool. As for the other tools, as a professional I would have done a thorough research, before pulling the trigger at the cash registrar. I love the Dewalt XR line. Sorry you got the wrong tools.

Also Dewalt, Craftsman and several other major brands are now made in CHINA.... its plain as day on the label.... My first cordless sets were made in the good ole USA , when those burned up after years of great service the replacements never held up as well ( and I never knew why ) until one day someone pointed that out to me....wow. Great tools are hard to come by anymore and why turn a good thing bad, especially pulling wool over a consumers eyes? Latest news is I switched to Rigid because they come with a lifetime replacement of the batterys and tools for the life that you own them ( have to register your products online ) where the normal battery life is 2 years for cordless tool this saves you a ton of money and if the tool ever dies you get a new one not refurbished ! The rigid tools are heavier ( metal gearboxes ) well made tools,

Okay, it is the apprentice's tool kit. He replaces them as he wears them out with serious stuff.

brushless is more of a marketing gimmick, you dont get much differance. All wired mains supply tools are brushed so this a non issue. You need to put a lot of hours into a tool to wear out the bushes on dewalt tools and when they do wear out the rest of the tool will be worn out aswell. This is my experience from using dewalt grinders and drills.

Less then two minuets in I can already tell you exactly what the issue is, over the last 5-8 years, Dewalt has focused their easily available large combo kits on weekend warrior, impulse buy, best value overall, types. Putting stepped down models of pretty much every tool in the kits. Which any person who does 15 minuets of research on the model numbers of the tools included would figure out. If you want the better tools (aka the the ones most stores sell individually) in a kit, you'll have to either go online, or go to a dealer store. Or just buy a different brand thats stayed focused on the professional user instead of trying to reach the average consumer market.

That 1/2 hour saved me hours and hours trawling through various websites, thanks. I worked with the guys in construction on Vikings tv show for years. It was almost always 50% Dewalt 50% everything else put together, lots of yellow. Every day they debated the merits of their choices. The oldest tools tended to be Bosch and Festool so that is a test we rarely get results on. Dark green tools tended to get knocked into the water a lot so I presume its the same everywhere else too. Black & Decker more often than not found in bins (not a personal opinion but that's where i saw them). people tend to stay loyal to whatever brand they choose and people who use Hitachi seemed to be always trying to convert everyone else. Milwaukee users tended to tell you their old one was much better. Oh and Dewalt tools always seemed to be relatively new. I dont know if that means anything like they dont last or they keep bringing out upgrades or baybe even they are yellow so you can see them instead of kick them.

Big lesson: Never do "impulse buys" its expensive and you never get what you really wanted. It pays to research first and buy only what you researched and really wants.

Dewalt has XR on alot of tools that are not brushless, so I wouldn't assume that XR means brushless, XR =, extra runtime not brushless. And does anyone ever use the side handle on a combi drill. I have a 36v Bosch sds, and I use the side handle all the time on that, but it's a much more powerful machine and heavier than a combi drill. At the end of the day it up to the concumer to check what your buying.

The tool model numbers of are all clearly showed right on the packaging. I think what you mean when you say "..not the tool I thought I was buying.." you mean: "..not the tool I WISHED I was buying.."

XR is dewalt's branding of batteries not tools.

Then why are some of their cordless tools labeled "XR"?

something else to consider on the hammer drill - without the handle, you'll put your hand on the heel to help push.... which is where the fan and cooling vents are located. It WILL burn up the drill if you push there for any time at all (or, translation for my UK friends, it will let the smoke out).... oh yeah, and if you put a 6 1/2 blade on the Milwaukie, I think your result would be different.

"XR" Means "EXTREME RUNTIME"!!! It does not mean Brushless!! Do your research before making a video like this!

DEWALT 20V MAX XR Brushless Combo Kit, Premium 6-Tool (DCK694P2) by DEWALT

16:14 there's no need to tighten the nut that tight. Just past Finger tight works fine. The tool running with tighten it more.

I was a Dewalt/Makita user until I replaced a drill with a bosch professional. This was following the random advice, given by a guy in the store who built decking for a living. I will never buy dewalt or makita again, I tell everybody I know to choose Bosch pro (blue power tools)

How do you figure XR stands for brushless. Dewalt XR has been around since long before their brushless stuff. All you need to do is look at the tools. It says nowhere on that packaging brushless. The brushless tools clearly state that they are brushless. I have all the same 20v max XR brushless tools and I knew when I was buying them why I was paying the higher price. I think you need to do your research. XR can be either brushed or brushless. I'll agree it can be confusing shopping for and comparing tools but they're not false advertising unless they say brushless and give you a brushed motor tool.

Doing maintenance on an apartment complex, that requires me to use my own tools, about 14 years ago ( for about 160$ )I bought a cheap set of Ryobi, and besides buying more pieces and 2 newer batteries, They just keep going. Everyone has their own preference and has their own pros/cons. Great video for those that don’t know about brushless-brushed motors though.

My husband has some of everything, and he got a cheap set of Ryobi too several years ago that he has been super happy with.

As a contractor I bought many of my power tools in the '60's -'70's. Yes they are corded and heavier and metal and they all still work. Only my 7" Milwaukee grinder has needed to have the brushes replaced. These are old tools that have had the dickens worked out of them. Good luck to all of you with your new stuff or look at pawn shops and flea markets for the old Made in USA tools. Money better spent on a good generator.to plug the old tools into.

You wont need them, you dont build anything anymore

Thank you for this video, we're getting tools together to start our own home build, and wasting money isn't in the budget. We will certainly be much more careful from now on when buying any tools.

These bundle sets are always going to be the low end version so fall the tools. Its common across all companies that they create a tool or 2 specifically for the kits and made as cheap as possible. These kits are targeted to the home users and attract those looking to save money that don't need Prosumer grade tools.

Hi Jesse, Here in the UK Dewalt has such a bad rep that I have not bought any of their tools for some time. I do have a Dewalt multi-tool but it is so weak it will not even cut material. I did some work for a friend, and they wanted to pay me but I don't work for money and declined. They went out and bought a bosh multi-tool. I was annoyed with them as I had already said that I did not want anything and at some point, I may need a hand on something and ask them. But I used the Bosh multi-tool and the difference was amazing, it cut through wood like it was cutting through butter. I have heard good reports from across the pond but here pure crap.

Shame on YOU! 7:40 It says XR right on the drill!! So you got exactly what was on the box. And as so many others have stated, XR has NOTHING to do with brushless. It stands for Xtreme Runtime. There are truths being told in this video but the whole premise of it is bunked. Don't bash Dewalt. They sell low to moderately priced tools for standard use and do a damn good job in that role. You dont go buy an F450 to pull the yard trailer around on the weekends. Change the title dude.

If you think a deal is too good to be true then it usually is.

Unfortunately Dewalt build substandard tools just for a Home Depot, always better to buy on Amazon and compare the individual model number

Wish I could have spoken to you before you bought that kit. Having sold tools for a few years I can tell you most companies put less quality, less expensive, less feature rich tools in those kits. Usually more money buying separately but also better tools.

A little research goes along way for any consumer, ‘DeWALT’ is in reality StanleyBlack&Decker, my Next purchase will be either a hitachi, hilti, or makita

Wow something amazing just happened. Never before did a review of a product match so closely to my intention to buy it the same day as the review came out! Thanks Jesse, I will have to reconsider buying this set now. All the best, keep up the good work.

Jesse, you were surprised by consumer short hour life tools vs. professional long life tools? WHY? You are building a home, buy pro tools not consumer grade.

about 10 years ago or so I bought the 18 volt Dewalt XR set { way before brushless was even out } What does the XR mean on Dewalt? All tools come with upgraded features, superior ergonomics and use Lithium-Ion batteries. For extreme performance, step up to the XR ® series and get advanced electronics, extended runtime and faster application speeds. † DEWALT 20V MAX* vs. DEWALT 18V NiCad......you want Brushless look for it on the box

xr just means extended run time, not brushless... brushless means brushless

@Jessie / you bought a box of new tools and didn't open it til 6 months later ???? that's just wrong ;-)

XR does not mean Brushless, It stands for Extreme Runtime. That is straight from Dewalts website. To me its not Dewalts fault, you seen XR (again which doesn't mean Brushless) and you assumed. Didn't read that box. Just sayin.

I get your point here. I am not in the trades but I am more than a weekend warrior and I thoroughly abuse my cordless tools-such as dropping from a ladder to concrete!? My old Dewalts (12 & 18Volt) have performed well--still do today. The lithium 18 and 20volt machines I am still testing and not overly pleased. I too was hoodwinked with the kit form where i bought my reciprocating saw. That saw is a heavy power consumer, bought the additional larger battery for much more money and I still am dis-satisfied with the run-time. It is still better to take my Honda generator out into my property and use my corded Makita recip. I have good run time with my old 12 and 18 volt old-school products--plus--they progressively start running down near the end, which gives me warning, where the lithium simply STOP, which I find very annoying. I am 70 years old and work with tools every day, so I have a an appreciation for tools that work properly. I like your channel and the interaction of you 2 as a couple. -------Mikey

Watching this done my head in . Why would you buy this without some research on the model numbers clearly printed on the box . You cant blame them for you not knowing what your buying .

Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. I love my Dewalt flashlight. It completely illuminates to the back of our yard. The small one does not. I think it will depend on just what you are using it for. Keep up the good work though. I never miss an episode.

You had your Pregnant wife clean up after you, that had to cost you lol Great video.

Dewalt is deceptive about everything. My problem with Dewalt is the lack of quality in their motors and clutches and their poor customer service. I sold all my Dewalt cordless tools, and I will never buy their products again. Voltage and longevity are more important to me. As a Licensed Electrician, brushed tools are very adequate, but they have to be a minimum 18 volts. Anything less is only for homeowners. I have Ridgid and Milwaukee cordless tools now, and I am perfectly happy with them. I like one or maybe two battery systems at the most, no more.

Def seen the crappy marketing tactics employed by these companies. I’m super picky so I always do due diligence before each purchase because they’re always trying to getcha somehow.

I literally ordered one of these kits today. Haha. For the type of job I am planing on doing I think it’s fine any ways.

Jesse plays, Alyssa gets to clean up afterwards. That's dedication.

Thank you this was useful info. When I go looking at tool it is really easy to be overwhelmed this will help me next time.

Note for reference the batteries in the kits have less amp hour power than the same batter you buy off the rack. This is from and engineering department of the major company that makes Milwaukee Rigid and Bosch and Riobi. But it is the same with the maker of Dewalt who is no longer Dewalt!

I quit buying Dewalt years ago. The replacement batteries were so expensive you can buy a lower grade complete tool set for the same price. I've actually have had longer life out of Ryobi and porter cable.

Sorry, XR has never meant "Brushless" - XR = Extended Runtime

Awesome video! Your comparisons are spot on! Thanks so much for explaining these is such great detail and putting them to the test!

I'm all millwalki and I owed every other brand bar non , even the job fist from princess auto , and as far as cordless, the most draining tool is the reciprocating saw, in any case remember who makes the tools dewalt is only an upgrade of rigid and ryobi.instead of keeping the prime quality of their top brand , dewalt out of greed went the other way , more and more desalt is like ryobi then anything else , you are better with rigid because of the lifetime warranty! That includes battery at life time warranties .

i thought XR was "Extreme Runtime"....

Where did you get the idea that XR means ‘brushless’? Nice vid though

Just bought a Dewalt kit and it sucks. Already blew up an impact driver and the battery charger died. My old makita impact bought in 06 is still chugging along. Dewalt is garbage now.

It appears to me, you got exactly what you paid for, with no deception on Dwalt's part. Your expectations were at fault.

Probably when the spring thaw finish up. I don't believe they can get deliveries until ground thaw\snow melt is done.

We need a new video to explain why you are again changing tool brands. If I recall correctly, you started this journey with Black and Decker cordless tools. Then you bought the Makita cordless drill and impact driver and you gave some justifications (and high praise) at that time for the new brand. Then you got Milwaukee cordless and I don't remember your doing any comparison/justification. Somewhere in there you bought the Makita, two battery, Beast, circular saw. Now you buy a Dewalt combo. Is there something missing with the Milwaukee lineup? Besides now having 3 (4 if you kept the B&D) brands of batteries to keep track of and replace over time, you have to keep 3 (4?) different chargers plugged in and ready, taking up more space than one brand would. How about a video about why you would want to go to 3 brands of tools/batteries/chargers? Makita doesn't have the full lineup of tools? Milwaukee coming up short (you seemed pretty proud of the Milwaukee in this video)? I didn't go with the best, but I have the Craftsman C3 (19.2) volt line up and did that because they had an extensive line of different tools, all using the same batteries, and I have acquired most of them over the years. The sticker with this choice is now that Sears sold the Craftsman rights to Stanley Black & Decker, they have gone to a different battery for their lineup, they say they will not support the C3 batteries, even with an adapter, and it is questionable how long I can get replacements through Sears. They also dropped all the C3 series tools, except a drill/driver and the 1/4" impact driver. I see some batteries are available on Amazon, so I may be able to replace batteries that die on me, but luckily the LI batteries seem to last a long time. So you end the video and we see Alisa (sp?) cleaning up the mess! I know she's a sweetheart, but really, you made it; why aren't you cleaning up?

XR means nothing about whether the motor is brushless or not, just weather its part of their interchangeable battery system

I hear that companies like Home Depot or Lowe’s have their own versions of, in this case DeWalt tools to sell. Specially designed for them. I guess it could be true or it’s maybe it’s just packaged for them!

Dude. Return it all!

Rookie dewalt xr has been out for years well before brussless dewalts were about. you just got trapped by a lack of research and a good price

The two kits on Amazon have a $1000 difference. That changes the balance quite a bit

Jesse your such a genntleman , leaving the mess for poor Alyssa to clean up.

Same with all the brands, non-lxt makita etc. DIY kits trading on the reputation of the stuff you see tradies using. However, all are ok, for the price, to fit a shelf etc etc

You really didn't do your homework on this, past reading advertising material. Brushless tools are only as good as the tool engineering, construction and materials. There are many dirt cheap brushless tools on the market already that are prett y much as good as dirt cheap brushed tools. Top end brushed tools are far superior to the mid range brushless. AVE did a really good video talking about all aspects of this subject. DeWALT is like all of these cordless tool companies, they used to be good, but now you need to do a ton of research to see what you are gonna get. Don't pray at the brushless temple without doing your homework.

And thats why I use Hitachi, now Metabo HPT, instead of Dewalt. Better tools, more features, better warranty. This is coming from over 20 years of building homes and using all sorts of brands. This is my opinion though.

The 2ah battery is the bargain basement option for sure. Whenever possible I always go for the 4-5ah battery every time. More torque, screws, light or whatever. The trade is a bit of added weight. The Dewalt saw also has a thinner curf too if you measure so less material moved.

I never buy tools without opening the box or at least checking the model numbers (that are also written nenxt to the tools on this current box cover...) Most manufacturers have several varieties of similar tools with different qualityes so yeah... You have to check what model you need.

I use Dewalt cordless tools professionally, have for years. I use their impact driver because it simply feels better and seems to drive better than the other brands I have tried. A cordless grinder is an emergency, quick hitter tool, not a long use tool because the amp draw is crazy high. Also, the grinder wind-down is no different than the other grinders I have used. The small circular saw is a great little, lightweight tool. I have an older 18V that I use most frequently on roofs or other locals where a cord is a pain. Your discussion of the circular saw limitations on a 45 degree cut is a bit disingenuous since the 7 1/4 you wanted will only cut marginally deeper on a 45. All tools wear out, all batteries wear out. It does not matter much where they are built (spoiler, they are almost all built in China or assembled outside of China with Chinese parts). You bought that collection of tools based on price point and at the end of the work shift I believe you will conclude that the tools do what they are supposed to and that you got you monies worth.

Dunno if anyone else pointed this out...but that circular saw in the kit is actually a left-side blade, as opposed to the "norm" of a right-side blade. To me, those make all the difference...makes it easier to see what you are trying to cut!

This was really helpful. Thank you!💗

You have to remember these tools are still better than ones from years past. I actually looked at a similar set around Christmas. All the model numbers are listed on the box. It's a big purchase. Do your research. Plus at the cost of the set it's really not a bad deal.

hi guys ive been busy lately as its nearly fishing season . but i was mainly and still am a joiner a carpenter a chippy . but i have to say i told you so many months ago ! sorry ! i personally regard dewalt as an expensive branded often way overpriced option . the top tools are best from single brands . buying single tools from different brands is often best by test . i having almost daily use of these tools recommend bosch profesional brushless technology . Dewalt is very overpriced here in scotand but not unobtainable infact one can get them easily online and at many many DIY stores . the best buys i have personally found are on Ebay by buying the item then the battery and chargers in my own time . be patient as these tools are often on offer 2 times a year so if you are not in a hurry thats okay right . it is expensive where you guys are but the second on my list is milwaukee profesional for price alone in your neighbourhood the usa /canada . i know you guys out there have personal needs and particular jobs in mind when buying tools absolutely no question about it . i have to say there are some brilliant reviews online on youtube by quite earthy speaking reviewers . to the point kinda guys really . in these videos one particular youtuber does he says most are actually rubbish and so lower priced tools particularly drill/ drivers are okay and like many out there reviewing tools this one guy takes the entire thing apart down to the last roller bearing cog and nut or bolt and screw . i would urge anyone to look at the package carefully when buying as these kits are very expensive and your money matters . dont think twice about asking staff or the seller to open the kit and show you what you are buying what you are going to spend a months wages on or often more . any serious respectable seller of tools will oblige you . without question . remember your 7 day return as bought policy and your warranty time . send off your warranty or fill it in online once you decide the tool is good . yes it is a lot to take on board but why not look into it as if you were a craftsman or do it yourself enthusiasts . i recall this often where people with a general idea get ripped off by not doing the due respect to the purchase by sheerly being overwhelmed by the amount out there ! read between the lines ask around and dont be sorry later . tool companies have many lines that look the exact same . the devil is in the detail . some tools are good and many are very very bad . As electrical tool part and maintenance are very important . so when you buy look around take care and be safe . maintain your tools and love them longer . XD kind regards
