thanks, that sold for 169, I'll wait till they hit 120 again, it's been happening regularly

anything on the m18 12.0? they've gone on sale once or twice in the last year at $120 each as buy&return with the 8.0 for $200. looking for a couple

this is a good point, I try to buy as few batteries as I can live with because they're wear items, even just sitting there. although I don't consider charge cycles my limit (I won't rack up 1000-1500 to wear one out), more just age (five years seems to be about where they really fall off). So...

I think you're alluding to the idea that a light is a light, they all exist in the same competitive marketplace and are somewhat commoditized by the fact that their output is "just light". I agree with you. That said, yes, of course there are advantages to milwaukee lights. They make so many...

I got the m12 because of the lower price and smaller size (doesn't take up an entire shelf). and for my relatively young eyes, the lumen wars are just not relevant. I always turn every light down to the lowest setting anyway - the high settings are only useful if there are competing lights or...

new m12 fuel oscillating tool is amazing. it's as powerful as my corded rockwell but has low vibration just like the box claims. goes through batteries pretty quickly when I'm pushing it. surprisingly long but it's light and skinny so I haven't had problems maneuvering it only weirdness so far...

thanks guys. $103.76 after battery return for the M12 2526 fuel multi tool: 149 * (149 / (149 + 64.97)) = $103.76. I think $101 would have been before the M12 2.0 went on a small sale to $64.97 from $69

whoa, if that 2.0 is listed on the receipt separately for easy return that's great, I can finally upgrade to a milwaukee omt

I think that's about the usual eBay price but warranty length being based on manufacture date if you went with eBay is more of a letdown when you only get two years. so yeah that's great

more considerations: the m12 doesn't take up an entire corner or shelf in my small garage when stored. but it has these small batteries that cost way more per watt hour than m18 batteries do. I wish they'd made the m12 size with an m18 battery attachment, the larger battery would have fit no...

3/8 stubby impact came out just before milwaukee started working the tariffs into their prices so there's some distortion from that

haha. I gave up and bought that same ryobi 36V mower. it's actually a great mower and I hadn't thought of converting it. my lawn is tiny though, I can do it on one bar of a 4Ah

as usual a good strategy is the order the tool for store pickup and the battery kit ship to home. this usually requires selecting a store that's out of stock of the battery kit. then cancel the battery kit within 5 (or 15?) minutes and it erases that part of the order, no return needed, and you...

thanks for the heads up. I passed on the m18 rocket for $150 in last quarter's battery combos but for $87 I got this one. it's a really handy size, I think I'll get more use out of it than I would have with the m18
