Only six items qualify for the free tool - vacuum, non fuel OMT, sequential charger, another battery, fuel hackzall, leaf blower.

Good but not insane deal

I was hoping for router as a freebie like some of the previous deals - no go. Good deal though if you can use tools that are offered.

What's the link to the bare tool list ? Offer popup didn't have many details.

NM, you see the list during checkout after adding to cart. Wish there were were a few more to choose from. Those 6.0 batteries are big/heavy.

I did the battery/tool hack at Home Depot and got the router for about $98. Definitely the way to go..

How long is the wait time for the 6ah batteries. As they've been back ordered by Milwaukee at all retailers so far

thats a terrific question. i was going to do the HD deal with the blower and (2) 4.0 batteries but for the same price might as well do this with the 6.0s...but they definitely seem to be OOS everywhere...

If they offered a blower, they removed it. Otherwise it would have been a good deal considering what these batteries sell for.

I'll keep an eye out, maybe they ran out and will add it back when they have stock. Let me know what kind of battery life you get. I was thinking about getting this https://www.acmetools.com/shop/to...-lb6002-fc but not sure if a 56v 5Ah is better than 18v 12Ah (6x2). I'm new to the battery game.

For just wanting a blower, id do that one you linked. They advertise a 2 hour runtime, which is pretty amazing. Im already invested in the m18 tools so the batteries will help me anyways and i dont really need too much runtime for the blower. From my research though, it seems the 6.0 batteries will run the blower from 5-10 min on high mode. Its definitely a battery hog.

I got the hand held Ego (it's advertised @75 minutes) but that's at the lowest. The manual says 11 minutes on turbo (2.5Ah battery) and it's just that as I tried it today. My guess is I'd be twice that with the one I linked. If the Milwaukee gets 10 minutes each, at least I can change one while I use the other. And I can get some add on tools later on

. But if I'll only get 5 minutes, then I'd get the Ego back pack one or get a corded one. I only have to do leaves a couple times a year and $200 is at the top of my budget as I can only hope to get 3-5 years out of the batteries. Anything more expensive, I'd be cheaper for me to pay someone. Ahh, the joys of applying life cycle depreciation to justify buying tools or labor.

Ahh, i see. Well, milwaukee makes terrific tools if youre wanting to get into their ecosystem. I put them through hell daily and have not had any real issues.
