Currently there is free xc 8.0 battery with the highly regarded brad nailer for $279 which itself is good.

But if you buy in store the price gets divided as 162 for the nailer and 117 for the battery. That would be the lowest price for the nailer in history.

If you are in store, find the brad nailer with model # 2746-20 and high output 8.0ah #48-11-1880, ring up to $279, return battery make nailer 162 only.
2x4 trim?? A framing nailer would obliterate any trim on Earth.

For you guys returning the battery, are you returning with no receipt and getting a store credit?
Or us this going back in the card?
Also does this type of return count towards you getting banned from doing too many of them ?
Returning with receipt. They really don't even care, to them you are returning one item from the receipt and when they scan everything it works fine and you get your refund.

Was in a different HD today buying the M12 Fuel multi tool using the battery return hack. HD website did not show this brad nailer in stock there but decided to look and found one hidden on a top shelf behind other nailers. So I ended buying this with the battery return hack.

I really have a problem, I am constantly buying tools with the hack. I have no real need for this nailer as I have a perfectly fine pneumatic rigid nailer. I have the Fuel grinder still in the box from early in the summer, but at least that is my only grinder. The fuel circular saw can also be had with the battery hack but I already have the brushless circular saw but it didn't come with the dust port attachment.

Thanks a ton! I am not a heavy user by any means. Handy trim repair around the house and some backyard fence repair. Nothing heavy duty. Think it'll work good?
You do not want to be using this nailer with anything more than a 3.0. 5.0s and above are way too heavy for this tool, especially if you're using it all day long at shoulder level or higher. There's a reason they sell this kit specifically with a 2.0 battery.

I can't say for sure, because I haven't used this particular tool. But no doubt it'll work with a 5.0, it is just a matter of how long it'll go on the battery. You are talking heavy usage usually if you are worried about battery size...

I tested it with my 5.0 and it works just fine... really happy with the tool. THANKS OP.

You can't do this with the online bundle, what they ship you is the tool and battery together under one sku.

If you go to the store and buy the tool only and the separate battery it will ring up with the free battery and then your return value for each item will be shown and then you can return the battery by itself.

Yea thats what I heard. I may need to return and re-ring them separately if this deal is even still going.

Hi there, could you provide some insight into what do you use it for in a regular basis. You seem happy with the tool. It's this a good tool to keep at home or is it of not much value to a homeowner if one's not in the trade.

Thanks got helping out.

So just to clarify, if I buy online, can I return the battery in-store for credit?

The online order will be shipped as a package under one SKU. Go to the store and pick up each item separately and check out. The price will drop to 279 then you can return the battery

Appreciate the response. Unfortunately no stores around me have inventory, so it looks like I'll just have to buy both for in-store pickup and just return/rebuy.

I don't believe this is a tool that you would use on a regular basis, this is purely for trim work or small wood work. The benefit of this vs a pneumatic is the use of the battery and not using a compressor.

If you know you have a project coming up that needs a brad nailer, or at some point you are going to replace the trim in your house, then it may be worth it. But if nothing like that is on the horizon, not sure this is needed.

With all that being said, I bought one even though I have a perfectly good pneumatic brad nailer and a perfectly good compressor. I have a huge problem with buying Milwaukee tools using the battery return hack, it is such a good deal that it is hard to pass up. And since I have a ton of Milwaukee batteries it doesn't make sense to go to a Ryobi battery brad nailer, thought they are much cheaper and are supposed to be very good as well.

It seems like you can't, because if buy online it all comes as one package. No return unless its the whole thing
