That makes sense to me. If you're right handed, you hold a 2x4 with your left hand and cut on the right. So the waste is usually to the far right. So yes, if you needed to trim, the sole on a leftie would have only a tiny perch. Also, a left blade would be closer to your face than a right blade.

The old left-vs-right circular saw debate… Stuart from ToolGuyd did a great article about this, concluding that he hopes manufacturers will offer more options.

Looking at the market today, it’s mostly blade-left for rear handle (worm drive etc), blade right for 7 1/4”, and blade left for 6 1/2”, and this goes for both corded and cordless. If there are exceptions in the current market, I’d be curious to know about them, especially if they’re corded (so I don’t have to join a battery club).

We’re an M18/M12 household, flirting with Metabo HPT multivolt, because of the triple-hammer impact and juicy pricing for the MHPT 36V circular saw.

(oh, and, surprise: the MHPT 18V 6 1/2” saw is blade-right, I guess that’s one exception to the pattern.)

It has been on sale a few times for 99 over the last year. Sometimes in combo deals. They might eventually make a new fuel version of it though, it would be cool if they did.

Thinking of purchasing a 2880-20 Grinder looks like a good deal on Mechanix Gear at $142.49 shipped. Is there a better option just going to be using it in the garage mostly for cutting. Getting tired of pulling the corded Makita out every time I need to make a small cut.

I googled the grinder just to check it out and found this:

The Milwaukee M18 4-1/2 in. Cut-off/Grinder delivers the speed, durability and ease-of-use to handle industrial applications. The cut-off grinder has a 4-pole motor, providing maximum power when cutting or grinding. The tool is the only cordless cut-off/grinder in the market to feature the...

I guess it depends on if you have an Ace nearby, or what shipping / tax might be.

Friends don’t let friends buy non fuel M18 tools. 2680-20 is not the same as 2880-20.

Not fuel. This is one tool you don't even want to think about being brushed if it's battery operated. 2880-20 came out end of last year, the non-fuel is probably 6+.

I recently grabbed one when Acme had their $40 off $299 promo. It was the best deal I had seen after watching for quite a while.

The underhood light kit is on sale at Acme, this kit doesn't go on sale often and it is awesome. I think you can back order it at this price if you are willing to wait a few weeks for delivery.

Looks to be out of stock already.

The 1/2 drive version with 4 and 2 Ah batteries is 219: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwauk...4-0-and-One-2-0Ah-Batteries-2555-22/305989026

I don't "need" the extra batteries, but I haven't really ever noticed a deal on the bare tool. Has anyone caught the 1/2 drive M12 fuel stubby at a better deal than this one?
