Anybody know anything about this?

I have seen these boxes in three stores sealed and marked for 6/21 sale ad.

0886-20 no pricing
2606-22CT for $99
48-59-1850 for $99

there were also two other boxes at one particular store that were marked sawzall with no model number or price and the 2860 (unknown if bare tool or kit no pricing)

I recently purchased the M18 Fuel Hackzall, (2719-21) and so far very happy with. The majority of my Milwaukee tools are the M18 platform so it was better for me to go that route over the M12. It has been working great when I need one hand to hold something while cutting compared to trying to use my Sawzall.

I ran my 0886 fan yesterday for 6.5 hours on medium. Got home, turned it off (left on for dogs during power outage), and the 9.0 still claimed to have 3 of 4 bars. Crazy. I'm guessing it had to be near the bottom of 3 bars (ie close to dropping to 2), but still.....

On a slightly related point I was out watering some of my business's plants today. I have trailer load of potted tree/shrub stock I'm holding over for the week. Anyways I did use my house garden hose (I have a well pump/pressure tank setup @50 psi) and was noticing the flow rate thru the hose as compared to the water transfer pump I use all weekend long to water the plants I market.

What I want to do if I get chance is to fill like a 30 gallon trash can with water using both the transfer pump and the well pump setup with the same size out feed hose 5/8" and in feed line 1/2" and do a time run for each way just to see what I get.

Any insight into how good of a deal the 18v fuel hammer drill and impact driver with the packout case on sale at homedepot is. Is $299 like whoa holy hell of a deal, or it goes on sale for that every other day? I just sold my dewalt set to switch.

It’s not a screaming great deal but you saving roughly 120-170 depending based off of normal 399 pricing or sale $349 price.

I was hoping to see a better deal on the grinder and 9.0 batt starter kit.
By the time you add tax it’s not much different from the other guys

Yay I love new tool day. Some of the recent HD snafus arrived today. Here's my $100 2135 and $175 2709!

If you weren't following the deals thread, these appear to all be back to full retail now

What a score! I have the 2130 stand light and it's awesome. Would've loved the 2135 for that price, but they were full price around here by the time I checked. Probably for the best anyway, I'd just bought a Fuel grinder and should be saving my money for the chainsaw.

Here's a COP Tool article

$180 for the heated gloves is a tough pill to swallow

https://www.coptool.com/milwaukee-2018-update-heated-gear/

If they really do end up costing $180, that's ridiculous. Especially when the new jackets will be $179, and the current hand warmer is only $59, and $99 with a battery.

I'm debating whether to sell my current jacket and get a second hoodie, or one of the new jackets. The new jackets look more flexible and comfortable, but I wear the hoodie much more often and that would only run me another $99.

I’m not paying $180 for gloves.. no.. not happening.. $100 - maybe, since waterproof gloves alone can cost $50.. $180 - no way. And then what? I gotta keep 4 batteries charged to make sure I have a spare set?? They should just make them plug into the new jacket on the sleeves. add a jacket, and now your talking 6 or 7 batteries to keep track of just to stay warm for a day..

As far as jackets - I still think the old heated soft shells are better than the tough shell models I’ve tried.

For anyone that missed it - the non heated gridiron jackets - the one without the hood anyway, is exactly the same jacket as the older ripstop 3in1 heated jacket - just without the heated hoodie... I have them both, had the side by side, they are identical except for a couple labels if I remember.. so I now have 2 of the same jackets, and I don’t wear either of them.. I use the old soft shells. I think I have 3 heated hoodies. I cant even ****** remember anymore. Its enough already with this ****..

I'm thinking about buying another heated hoodie so I'll have a couple, and just wear them under any jacket. I don't wear a jacket until it gets below 15-20F anyway, the hoodie is usually enough. Unless it's raining, then the hoodie soaks up water like crazy.

They really dropped the ball on the gloves. Considering the jackets already have pocket hand warmers, it would've made total sense to run a wire down the sleeves of the new jackets and have the gloves plug in there.

Awesome deal now I am thinking to get a second one!

I use mine every single day

I love that speaker. It functions as my car stereo as well since the stereo in my Durango crapped out and the vehicle is too near to the end of it's life for me to replace it. So the Milwaukee speaker rides in the front seat with me everywhere I go.

I paid $149 a year ago and was happy with it at that price. $119 for a kit is a steal!

Do you guys think they will ever come out with an M12 and/or M18 fuel right angle drill with a 1/2” chuck?
