What this means for your money
- Don't overbuy packs before Black Friday. Free-battery and buy-one-get-one kit deals usually beat buying a new pack alone. Watch our deals page.
- The XC5 High Output pack at $169 is the one most crews will actually buy this year; the Forge HD15 is for cut-off saws, demo hammers and mowers.
- The 4-gallon PACKOUT vac is the sleeper hit for maintenance crews: it rides on the stack you already carry.
What we'll test
When these ship, we'll put them through the same bench tests as every other brand and post the published spec next to what we measured.
