Was very tired when I posted this

In my experience it's hard to know exactly which batteries come with the tool. The user manual online at that line for the saw, for instance, says 'BAT411, BAT412, BAT413'. How do you know it comes with an HC battery? As I recall, they never state the exactly battery model on the outside of the box.

I was at the store today, they all had the HC on the box.

 

[jim2664258]

Cool! Thanks for the heads-up! In that case, wish they came with 2 batteries, I think it's kinda odd that the saw doesn't since those types of tools tend to eat batteries. Could be time to wait for a Bosch free battery promotion ..

 

[shoturtle]

Yeah, think it is a lowes package saw. The normal kit number is ps60-2a, and it comes with 2 batteries.

I was actually just looking for a deal for the 12v saw. If with HC batt, def going to snag one... will check out today. Thanks!

I think they're seeing competition from Milwaukee, who has a 2-tool combo with an impactor and drill (which alone from Bosch was regularly around $130-140) for $99 now.

 

[jim2664258]

Bosch and Milwaukee compete all the time with each other, both on features/power and price. We are the winners in that.

Where does anyone see the Milwaukee M12 combo kit for $99? Lowest I can find on the net is about $160.

I think he meant the $99 ($89 with coupon) Makita 12v package at HomeDepot

Sorry yes, meant Makita not Milwaukee. My bad.

Obviously they are always all in competition, but this is a big price point difference!

FYI to others that might pick up the Bosch 12V saw kit. I got it today, and it is apparently a Lowe's specific set that only has 1 HC battery. The other kits out there has 2. I dont need that many batteries...so i'll probably keep the set anyways.

Maybe I am missing something?
$149 is a hot deal on these? I have seen the combo kits for around $200

 

[shoturtle]

They are 99 dollars. If you get 2 items, you get 4 batteries for 198. And with the saw and something else 3 batteries.

The best I have seen the impactor and standard drill kit is for 219 and you only get 2 batteries. The good impactor and screw gun sells for 149.
