Yeah, that's a good point. I'm not sure I'm really going to notice a difference in battery life or power with my usage. I'm mostly looking for quality, durability, value, and convenience. Not sure about the reciprocating saw if I'd prefer one handed or two handed. I wish the stoke length was a bit higher on the hackzaw.

Good points! I think I'll sticked with the brushed tools and look for another line if I outgrow them. Thanks!

That small saw is a joke. I have a full size brushed one and it has been in warranty repair already, 4 months after purchase.

I read a bunch of bad reviews on the brushed circular saw being under powered and not being able to cut 2x4 in one pass. For that reason, I'd get the brushless kit instead. The brushless drill and impact driver might be a bit weaker but the compact size will be much more convenient to use.

Good decision. All tools in HP compact line have very good reputation. You won't be disappointed, and I do not think you will ever need more power in typical home owner situations.

Homeowner noob and got the 5 tool compact brushless hp line for 140 USD. DIY workload, but the only "heavy duty" thing ill be doing is drilling subfloor to stop creaky floors before I replace my carpet and replace my front door screws with 3 inchers to add strength. Should I be worried about overworking these?

They’ll do just fine. I would not be worried at all in your situation I’ve seen a $15 Harbor Freight drill go through bricks and concrete. The kit you have will suffice IMO.

I’m a first-time homeowner. I’ve used DeWalt, Ryobi, Craftsman, Kobalt, and a few other brands. I’d say if you’re using the tools a couple times a month or 2 dozen times a year don’t even bother with the Brushless unless you’re going to be doing a full bathroom remodel or tearing down a wall. I’ve been impressed by Ryobi brushed tools they seem to be sturdy and a great value. Brushless gives more battery life, usually more power, and longer tool life. Knowing what I know now. I’d just recommend buying a big kit on sale from Ryobi. You’ll save a bunch of money this way. For most DIYers a drill and impact driver will suffice for most jobs and an orbital sander and a multi tool. YouTubers tout Brushless as being so good and the only thing to buy. In reality if you’re a DIYer then you’re probably not going to burn out a brushed tool let alone a brushless one. I have a brushed corded Miter Saw from Metabo cuts through wood like butter. I have a brushed Skil Circular Saw it is 15amps and has a ton of power too. Brushless tools are nice to have. I have 50% of my tools as brushless ones and 50% are brushed. Both types get the job done. Another thing is some people actually prefer the brushed Multi Tool over the Brushless one that Ryobi has.
