Very good deal on the Milwaukee M18 Fuel Hackzall (2719-20). This tool is regularly priced @ $159 so you're essentially getting the battery for free (which is a $70 value). I believe this is a web only price so you won't be able to do the "turn in" trick at a HD B&M store to get the tool cheaper.

Can also get this same deal @ Acme Tools:
https://www.acmetools.com/shop/to...cating-saw (final price is $3 cheaper since there's no tax but you do pay for shipping; currently OOS but you can still order)
If you want it cheaper and don't want the battery you can save some money by getting it at Amazon (though Amazon is not an authorized dealer so you won't get a 5 year warranty, you'll only get a 3 year warranty):

Tool specs:
- POWERSTATE Brushless Motor: Increased cutting speed and power throught the toughtest applications

- Pivoting shoe provides constant contact with the work-piece resulting in smoother cuts with less bucking and vibration
- REDLINK PLUS intelligence and POWERSTATE Brushless Motor combine to provide up to 3x longer tool life than competitive one-handed recips
This tool gets good reviews across the internet and compares very well to other leading hackzall tools.

In fact I'd jump DOWN and recommend the M12 FUEL model of this same saw, if you already have a lot of M12 stuff as I do (including the larger 3-6AH battery). There is also an older non-Fuel version of it. The tinier ones are truly amazing for the size and weight. This M18 one is a step up, of course, and this one comes with the promo battery. (sometimes there are promo batteries with the M12 line also, but not sure of any deals at the moment.)
P.S. Also great for cutting smaller branches on trees and shrubs.

My M12 non-fuel hackzall wasn't cutting it when I needed to prune larger diameter branches (I have many fruit trees on my property) so I was interested in this new Milwaukee product. After watching and reading all the reviews, the hatchet tool seems like a pretty cool tool, but its niche and really only built for pruning branches. The M18 fuel hackzall on the other hand (which can do pruning very effectively) has much more versitility vs. the hatchet so I decided to go in that direction.
So this is one time where I think for me, more power is a bad thing and I will be returning the M18 fuel one..
But to each his own...

Agree, got this because I needed a driver as well. I feel it was a good deal...

*One benefit of getting on the Milwaukee contractor email list is out of the blue, they sent me a nice red Milwaukee T-Shirt. Sorry, can't tell you how to sign up or when that happens, but it was a nice surprise. I'm pretty sure I spend enough on their stuff to justify it.
