The price for milwaukee m12, m18 and m18 fuel is really good for **** tools without battery, charger and bag! 80-90 usd for a m18 hacksall for example? I think all the ones I have seen is pretty cheap. Take a look on ebay, in my eyes many of them feels "to cheap"[emoji375]

I think I paid something like $120 CDN for my M18 Hackzall bare tool brand new.

$90 would be too much, if it's used. New, it's probably legit.

Fantastic tool, by the way. It's not brushless but it's still a great tool. I use mine daily.

Most of those are parted out sets. Because you are not the original buyer, you can forget the warranty on them, unless they are listed as an authorized dealer (ex: CPO). Still some great deals though.

Yep, some risk and reward. Batteries are so pricey that people buy larger sets and remove the batteries and a tool or 2 and then sell off the rest. Seems like 6 of one, half dozen of another.

Once they hassle with selling off the tools they don't need, they probably could've bought a 2 pack of batteries. Not sure if that's true in all brands. In the Ryobi lineup, it is.

I usually just keep the spare tools as backups or barter with them. I had a spare Ryobi cordless impact. Gave it along with a battery, charger, and a Ryobi bag to a guy in exchange for about $300 worth of concrete work that he helped me with. He was so happy to get a much needed tool without any cash outlay on his part.

In your basement...seriously, go look now!
Now I know what to do with my old PC 18v system! I switched to Ryobi 18v for the support and the quality of the tools seems equivalent - the saw is maybe a little weaker but not by much. Getting cordless tools on Ebay is touch and go - usually if it isn't a premium brand (read: Makita, Milwaukee, contractor level Dewalt, contractor level Bosch) it's legit.
