Been thinking about that one. Give us a report once you get a chance to smack it around a bit, please.

I got one of these for my wife this spring for the annual spring pruning. I was worried it would be too heavy or too slow. She loves it. She was able to prune a massive pile of branches in a weekend. That wouldn't have been possible due to fatigue even with two people.

Now she reserves her Felco pruners for light jobs and gets the M12 pruner out for most everything else. It's really amazing how much it can cut. It mostly replaces a pair of lopers in addition to the pruners.

The above 5 tool deal is a good one. Wouldn't mind the work light, maybe I gift the rest away to a relative?

Looks like HD is finally selling the mower alone along with OPE package deals. Definitely not as good as the Factory authorized Direct deal with 2 batteries and the dual bay charger for $700....

There is some OPE on sale today on home depot's special buy of the day. Mower kit combo with some other OPE, I didn't calculate the value on it.

I have had the Rocket Dual Power Tower Light in my card for months. $50 off seems like a good deal but I have yet to pull the trigger. I know it will go off sale real soon but I also bet it will be bundled for less in the future. I seem to remember it being about $140 in recent bundles. I do know its free with a bunch of kits but its nothing I am in need of. A single tool bundled might be more interesting to me.

I know nothing about this platform


View attachment 2102071
It's a lower end brushless, but not fuel grinder.
The fuel grinder + 2x5ah starter kit during the holidays was $179/$199, so something to consider.

Pulled the trigger on my first M12 tool (have plenty of M18)...

M12 Fuel, 3/8 high-speed ratchet (2567-20), with CP HO 2.5 Ah battery, 41% off, $159. I also had some unused gift cards, $150 worth, which eased the pain, LOL!


I visited the store in Bellingham, MA, they don't have these in stock. They were supposed to have ONE non-Fuel leftover on clearance (with a battery, charger and bag) for $75, but neither I nor an employee could find it.

Great deal! I have the same one, I use it pretty much everyday at work & I'm happy with it, love the speed. So much more than the prev gen Fuel I had before.

This is the only MW tool I have ever purchased at full price. Normally I wait for some kind of deal but this one I got as soon as it came out because I disliked the 1st gen Fuel I had so much.

I recommend getting the tall shift knob for it. Makes it even better. My coworker has the same ratchet but with the stock shift knob, I can't stand it after using the tall. Damn thing should come with it to begin with but whatever, no sense in complaining.

Good deal for the heat gun at ~$90 today


Also the Rover and Power Supply for $129 is a steal if each of them is $65ish.

Is the heat gun worth it? I would use it mainly for shrink wrap on auto and marine wiring.

Heat gun shows $109 for me - how did you get $90?

Does the heat gun come with accessory nozzles (especially useful for applying heat shrink in a difficult to access location)? There's no mention of them on the site, nor does HD provide a link as a related item to purchase.

The Milwaukee manual mentions them in text instructions, but doesn't seem to indicate if they're included, or provide a part number to purchase.

Very odd.

Unfortunately not, $44 for the kit separately. I think it takes generic though.

Yes, generic. Bought a Ryobi for $45 and comes with all the useful attachments, go figure, but do also fit.
I think Harbor Freight sells them

Harbor Freight does set a universal set of nozzle and they are cheap as dirt if I remember correctly. Not sure if they fit the Milwaukee gun well but they don't fit my Steinel heat gun well at all but I think Steinel doesn't have a universal size for the accessories.

Thanks guys!

I have an old corded HF heat gun, rarely gets used. I don't recall if I have an accessory kit for it, but I don't think so.

I bought a corded Milwaukee one for work around a decade ago. and remember buying the MW accessory kit separately for it at the time. Didn't know they were universal!
