Really? Damn, I have heard good stuff about them from pretty much everybody. What was their excuse on the last battery pack?

If you’re willing to spend the money up front, it may be worth getting cordless just because it will end up at like $50 per tool for brushless stuff. If you’re just around the house, you shouldn’t have to worry about burning through 4Ah battery packs on a grinder or saw.

Wait for a good Father’s Day sale or something and you can get everything you need for <$500. Pic related was on sale for $350 for Xmas plus two free tools, so you could add a brushless grinder and sander. If you want more batteries, they had a 2pk of 4.0Ah batteries for $99, and those will run the saws for way longer than most boomers want to admit, and they sell 9.0Ah packs for Ridgid as well. 7 (well maybe 6 because fuck the light) brushless contractor grade tools and 4 fat batteries for <$500 after tax.

A similar Ryobi setup was even cheaper, I think it was $250 or less for a similar 5 tool kit with your choice of 2 free ones and they were all brushless as well so not even the lower end Ryobi tools.
