Darnit, I’ve been waiting for this one. I was hoping it would be the package with the packout box since I dove balls deep into that system recently, but this price is too good to pass up. I found a videos showing how the saw fits in the ammo can packout. The tracks, even generic, are expensive. Apparently this saw works with all the generic tracks except for the locking tab, so I’ll try the Wen or Powertec tracks.
I saw a review on the M18 vs the new M12, the reviewer much preferred the M12 and suggested the M18 was just average.Milwaukee M18 18V Lith-Ion Brushless Cordless FUEL 5 in. Random Orbit Sander w/ (1) 5.0 Ah Battery 2837-20-48-11-1850 - The Home Depot

Been looking for one of these...
The Wen tracks are great, as is their price.
I didn’t see much on the BMSM promo I need to get up to the $1000 amount. I’ve also spent more than I should recently on tool “deals”. I don’t need the 6.0 batteries, but think I can sell them for ~$140.
It was the new model. He’s mainly reviewing the new M12 6” sanders but touches on the new M18 starting at 12:48. I was also surprised as I love the old M18 sander.
Generally I agree. I used it at Home Depot for the packouts I bought recently. The items all show a max return value of the discounted price, so it’s hackable to do some returns and just end up with what you want for the max discount. I may have a couple extra packout pieces I don’t end up needing and would return.
I picked up the three drawer unit, deep organizer, and two medium boxes today, $403 or something for the BMSM. I’m moving towards doing a remote service business as a side or maybe primary hustle, so I want to be able to grab and go. I think Makita has the most interesting packout product, especially the long toolbox designed to more easily load in a pickup.
You might check out farm and fleet, they have it for 219 right now.
sold out awhile ago, forge 8.0 sold out unavailable
If you haven't seen it, Milwaukee makes one like that.
I have, but I wasn’t impressed. The Makita is a much more interesting design. The handle coming from the bottom with cleats to grab a tailgate for easier one person loading and unloading, the lid opening to either side, the ability to add another box over the handle, etc.If you haven't seen it, Milwaukee makes one like that.

More likely price for the quarter, as it's not part of Special Buy of the Day/Week, & other retailers dropped the price.
Unless you do enough AC work in the field away from convenient power sources to justify the premium price for the battery tool, I would buy the mastercool or similar 120V pump.
Good price for sure. The 6.0 batteries strike me as odd though. They're physically the same size as the 8.0s, so other than possibly cost, I'm unsure what their purpose is.$10 per AH on a six pack of the 6.0 batteries. If you happen to need that many at once it’s a good deal.

The 6.0 don't **** the bed like the 8.0s do.
Different internal construction. The 8.0 HO batteries are notoriously fragile with a high failure rate.
Nice work! I miss having the company AMEX and doing some 5 figure Home Depot and Zoro orders.
Todays order gonna hurt
Right!, I love spending OPM
Hopefully you’re tagging those online transactions to befrugal or similar.Right!, I love spending OPM
Ya this one wasn’t personal. However those five inch grinders just might find their way into mine and my superintendents stuff and our 4.5’s handed off to the three guys I hired over the past week.
I gotta admit Mitch, I had to look up befrugal...In had no idear such a thing existed.
Bought the 6 pack of 6.0s a couple years ago and was $299.$10 per AH on a six pack of the 6.0 batteries. If you happen to need that many at once it’s a good deal.
