#Adapter for dewalt 20v battery upgrade#

your getting less batteries, but more battery power with the 5.0, so another amp hour of runtime if the adapter set comes with 2.0 batteries. Yea, the bare tool saw is only $99 right now.Īnother option, on sale for only $20 more than your adapter kit - you can get the new 20v saw, with charger, 5.0 battery, and soft case. There may be more to your situation, but just off what you posted, buying new seems like more for your money. Just doesn't seem to make sense to lay out the money on the adapter kit to keep 1 tool going that you can replace for less money.

If there is ever gonna be a time to upgrade tools and get the most for your money spent, this is it.Ī bare tool 20v Dewalt saw should be cheaper than the adapter kit if you already have 20v stuff and batteries. Just making the point, you have options here.

I was in the same boat, and upgraded to the Milwaukee m18 system. IMO, The adapter kit only makes sense for people that have a large collection of older Dewalt tools. MOST people use the opportunity to upgrade into a new system.

Even sold for $40 for each tool, you won't be far away from the money you'd spend out of pocket anyway - but with new tools and an impact driver and flashlight too. You can sell what you have on eBay to put towards it. This 4 tool kit is on sale, $100 off, for $249. The adapter kit you're looking at is $129 with the small batteries. A new sawzall bare tool would be under $100 I think. Just putting this out there, but for the cost of the batteries, adapter, and charger, - you are not far away from a new drill kit, with batteries and charger, or maybe even a drill impact combo kit on sale. 20V Max XR: Even though the voltage of a DeWalt 20V Max and DeWalt 20V Max XR is the same, 9 out of 10 times, the XR will outrun the regular 20V Max. 20V Max: The common 20V battery for the DeWalt 20V tools which come in a variety of ampere ratings. I'll leave it up anyway for other people since sales are posted, and someone else might be in a similar situation. But in terms of DeWalt 20V batteries, there are 2 categories. Edit - I posted all this assuming you were gonna buy the adapter 'kit', and not just the $40 adapter.
