. Ohiopowertool had a flash sale for 10% M12 or M18 tool kits or 20 % for 2 kits and I just wasn't sure if the table saw was something I absolutely needed RIGHT NOW. I thought I saw somewhere that it would be until this Friday but I guess that must be for the other deals. I really hope they or someone else has another like that for Black Friday or Cyber MondaySo Toolup also doing $75 off of $300, code: MIL75
In a quick look the 2 5.0 plus free tool is $219, HD is $199, but with the discount I guess you can come out ahead on some stuff.
Also $219 at redtoolstore
We will have to hunt and peck.
That time of year!
I bet there is a ton of Black Friday deals this year. No retailer wants to get left behind in this economy.I'm sooo mad at myself for not placing my order.

Redtoolstore $75 off $300 plus. Code SHOPMIL75. Just ordered dual battery 9 gallon shop vac at $299 plus a $2 inkzall and the code applied.
The $199 plus two 6AH is a fair deal, but there was one that was probably a mistake in a October at International Tool for the M12 rocket plus two 6AH for $119 or something like that. I ordered and it has not been cancelled yet.For the past year and a half I've been thinking about getting an M12 rocket light so that I can actually get yard work done after work in the winter. Finally pulled the trigger on this sweet deal
Didnt work for me? Nice score tho
What kind of performance are you guys seeing out of the air compressor with a 5.0 battery?
sale/promo items don't work. This would be something to use on a tool that doesn't go on promo otherwise, or unlikely to soon. Like the new sander, m18 hatchet, (overpriced) bristle or rubber brush attachments for Quik-Lok.
...or a M18 grease gun? I'll check that out...

Yeah I still have mine on order too.

Arrow does have one but doesn't get much attention since they don't make cordless battery powered tools much. I also opted for the cordless stapler - I use the arrow one a lot for low-voltage applications.Does Arrow even make a NM cable stapler?
Is there even any brand of NM collated staples which are not manufacturer specific but a standard used by multiple manufacturers?
I have the cable stapler and it’s awesome. Staples are reasonably priced and it works way better than the manual GB stapler I had and never used, pounding in NM staples by hand, etc. Would buy another in a heartbeat.
Home Depot has the M18 inflator as a free tool when you buy the 2 5.0 batteries and charger starter pack. Return the batteries if you don't need them and the inflator is about $95 .

The HO 8.0 and 3.0 kit is WAAAAY Overpriced - it should be no more than $150 dollars before taxJust placed an order for this along with the HO 8.0 and 3.0 kit. I'll be returning the 5.0's and keeping the inflator. Contemplating also picking up the top off power supply that comes with a 5.0 for $149 not bad even if the XC5.0's are being replaced
The M12 HO batteries are useless for the M12 platform
Not true, the 2.5 HO are nice for ratchets and right angle impacts. It's helps maintain a slim profile while carrying the power of an 6.0. The only battery of the m12 platform I can't tell a differance in power is the 6.0 vs HO. All others the HO is noticeablly more powerful on tools like impacts. What all have you tried the HO stuff on?The M12 HO batteries are useless for the M12 platform
The HO 8.0 and 3.0 kit is WAAAAY Overpriced - it should be no more than $150 dollars before tax
The HO 12Ah batteries should cost between $140-$170 dollars (after hack) - and not exceeding that
The 5.0Ah batteries should cost no more than $60 for one piece
Right now, the only batteries which are appropriately priced by Milwaukee are the CP 3.0 HO batteries - $50 for 1x $99 for 2x
6.0Ah HO Batteries should cost no more than $80 before tax
This season lackluster - I was at The Depot today deciding between the 3.0Ah Two-pack and 3.0/6.0Ah combo - the 3.0Ah Two pack was a no-brainer
Although I definitely need bigger batteries - especially 12.0 Ah - the only way I see myself getting a deal is to buy the Chopsaw/12.0Ah battery combo for $319 currently or $168 for the 12.0Ah battery after returning the chop saw at The Depot
Really miss the old prices from years past - but the market is going to crash so be it
I don't see prices dropping for Black Friday this year - especially the Two-Pack 3.0Ah batteries
Looking forward to clearance specials next year![]()
Wow. $91 was a superb dealBTW, I picked Toolup because they were listed as an official retailer on the Milwaukee site, complete with a link that took me there.
Unfortunately, in the order confirmation email, they gave me a link to track that doesn't work. And, the email says to use my email address and a password that I was apparently supposed to have created during the ordering process (at no time was I asked to do that, maybe because I used PayPal?).
So, I've emailed and asked them to keep me posted on when this will ship...
Man, now I'm really PO'd that I didn't buy more than the two sets (XC6.0 and CP3.0 combo for $91 per combo) when I found nine hiding in top stock in March 2021 (leftovers from a 2020 Black Friday special).

I’ve tried it on the the drill driver with replaceable heads, die grinder, orbital sander, and multi tool. I agree that the slim profile makes it easier to handle, but the run times varied for the obvious amperage reasons, found no discernible difference in powerNot true, the 2.5 HO are nice for ratchets and right angle impacts. It's helps maintain a slim profile while carrying the power of an 6.0. The only battery of the m12 platform I can't tell a differance in power is the 6.0 vs HO.

Well they ended up not having it so they cancelled the order. So I just got the inflator for $95The HO 8.0 and 3.0 kit is WAAAAY Overpriced - it should be no more than $150 dollars before tax

Buy 2 packs. They also have 10" PO tote $10 cheaper than HD for $52, M12 Cut off tool is $6x as well ($99 elsewhere) to get over $99Nice find, if it was free shipping it would be killer. But still a great deal.
I'd go for the cut off tool but then I'd need bigger M12 batteries so the worm hole gets deeper. lolBuy 2 packs. They also have 10" PO tote $10 cheaper than HD for $52, M12 Cut off tool is $6x as well ($99 elsewhere) to get over $99

Thanks. Plinker. Looks like I am finally going to get some 3.0s. That's close enough to the $10 an amp hour rule of thumb.Saw these at tooltopia, better priced then current HD sale prices on the same ones,
