7 DeWalt 20V MAX Tools Ace Hardware Is Bundling With a Free $169 Battery Kit
For a limited time, Ace Hardware throws in a 20V MAX XR Battery and Charger Starter Kit at no extra cost when you buy any of these bare tools from DeWalt's ATOMIC or XR lines.
DeWalt 20V MAX ATOMIC Cordless Oscillating Multi-Tool
At $169.99, the oscillating multi-tool costs the same as the battery kit Ace is giving away — so you're walking out with two pieces of gear for the price of one. The tool handles cutting, sanding, scraping, and grinding through a single tool-free blade change system, meaning no wrench or Allen key required when you swap from a flush-cut blade to a sanding pad mid-project. Its brushless motor delivers longer runtime than the brushed 20V MAX model Ace also stocks, and the compact head fits into corners where a full-size saw can't reach. For trim carpentry, tile grout removal, or undercutting door jambs, this is the lowest-cost entry point in the promotion and the one that doubles your kit instantly.
DeWalt 20V MAX ATOMIC 4-1/2 in. Cordless Brushless Compact Circular Saw
Priced at $179.99, the ATOMIC compact circular saw runs a 4-1/2-inch blade — roughly two inches smaller than a standard 7-1/4-inch sidewinder — which drops the weight and lets you make one-handed cuts in tight framing or overhead work. The brushless motor spins the blade fast enough to rip through 2x lumber and sheet goods, and the slim profile stores in a tool bag that a full-size saw won't fit. You lose about an inch of cutting depth compared to the 6-1/2-inch ATOMIC model, but the trade-off is maneuverability on remodels and punch-list work. Pair it with the free 20V MAX XR battery and you have a cordless cutting station ready for job-site use without buying into a combo kit.
DeWalt 20V MAX ATOMIC Cordless Brushless One-Handed Reciprocating Saw
The one-handed reciprocating saw lists at $179.99 and weighs noticeably less than DeWalt's full-size 20V MAX recip, which matters when you're overhead cutting conduit or pruning branches for hours. Its brushless motor drives a stroke length long enough to chew through PVC, nail-embedded wood, and metal pipe — the materials that show up on demolition and plumbing punch lists. A keyless blade clamp lets you swap blades in seconds, and the compact body fits between studs or inside a ceiling cavity where the longer Sawzall-style housings won't go. Combined with the free XR battery starter kit, you're looking at a complete reciprocating saw setup — tool, battery, charger — for the cost of the bare tool alone at most other retailers.
DeWalt 20V MAX Cordless Jig Saw
At $199.99, the 20V MAX jig saw is the only tool in Ace's promotion that runs the brushed motor rather than the brushless ATOMIC or XR designation, but it still accepts the same 20V MAX battery platform. The tool-free blade change system accepts T-shank blades, and the variable-speed trigger gives you control for curved cuts in plywood or countertop cutouts. An integrated dust blower keeps your cut line visible, and the base bevels for angled work. It's the right pick if your projects lean toward detailed cuts — shelf notches, outlet openings, template work — rather than straight ripping or demolition. The free battery kit effectively gives you a cordless jig saw with a fresh charger and battery to spare.
DeWalt 20V MAX ATOMIC 1/2 in. Brushless Cordless Ratchet
The 1/2-inch ATOMIC ratchet lists for $219.99 and targets automotive and mechanical assembly work where a manual ratchet eats time. The brushless motor delivers enough torque to break loose fasteners that a hand wrench would take several swings on, and the compact head fits into engine bays and undercarriage spaces where an impact wrench won't. The tool-free anvil lets you swap sockets quickly, and the variable-speed trigger gives you feathering control when you're threading bolts into aluminum or soft steel. It runs on DeWalt's 20V MAX battery platform — the same pack that drives every other tool in Ace's promotion — so the free XR battery and charger starter kit, a $169 value, clicks in without adapters. At this price point you're building out a cordless mechanic's setup without paying for a separate charger and battery that most bare-tool ratchet purchases require.
DeWalt 20V MAX ATOMIC 1/2 in. Cordless Brushless Compact Impact Wrench
The DeWalt 20V MAX ATOMIC 1/2 in. Cordless Brushless Compact Impact Wrench sells for $239.99 and qualifies for Ace Hardware's free battery promotion. Buy this wrench and Ace throws in a 20V MAX XR Battery and Charger Starter Kit at no extra cost — a $169 value. The 20V MAX battery system powers DeWalt's entire cordless lineup, so the included battery works across every ATOMIC and XR tool you own or buy later. The compact ATOMIC design reaches into tight spaces — wheel wells, frame rails, engine bays — where bulkier wrenches can't. A 1/2 inch anvil accepts standard impact sockets without adapters. Pair this wrench with the DeWalt 20V MAX ATOMIC 1/2 in. Brushless Cordless Ratchet ($219.99) to build a two-tool automotive kit: both tools plus battery and charger for roughly the cost of the wrench alone at full retail. The promotion is running now at Ace Hardware for a limited time.
