These will charge fully in only 45 min on the Rapid Optimum Charger- that means less downtime and increased productivity so important when you’re on the job.

The circular saw is a bit slower and drills less torque and lower RPMs. But that’s expected considering the price. It’s the same charging technology though. What do you get?
