Quote from Mainline :
Have the item you want to keep shipped to your home or shipped to a store where you'd like to pickup from.
Have the item you want to "return/cancel" shipped to a store you never go to. Just never pick it up and they will eventually cancel and refund that portion of the order.

That's how I do the HD hack.
I'll try that thanks 😊

Does this saw have dust collection port? I heard the newer versions of these have it.

For some reason I was only charged $105.89 for the batteries, bring the total down to $238. Still undecided wether or not to pick them up though.

I'm more used to this style, shat is the advantage of the rear handle?

Ekk, I'm already deeply invested into Dewalt (10 powertools, 15+ 5Ah batteries and so on). Is it worth limping into another ecosystem? I do love Makita, I have many of their drill bits and bit accessories.

I picked up mine in the morning at the local store including the free 2 batteries. Printed my online receipt from homedepot.com that showed the kit at $132.48 and the "free" batteries as $116.52. Took the batteries (and receipt just in case) back to local store in the evening and returned the 2 batteries to get my $116.52 back.
This is exactly what I did. CSR refunded 116.52+tax back without any question. Great deal.

I'm already into Makita and considered milwaukee because of their ratchets. But makita makes such good tool I just decided to stay with them. But can we ever have enough tools? Probably not.

Haha, Home Depot had a Memorial Day timer on this, implying the sale would be over when the time ran out, but it is still 249. However, the top handle version went to 349.

Has anyone actually used both the top handle and rear handle models? Which did you prefer? I bought the top handle on the memorial day sale (still in transit to me) but am wafflong on whether to keep that or go with the rear handle. I'm right handed, so obviously prefer the blade to be left mounted on saw.

A matter of what you want to do with it, basically is worm drive vs direct drive, see below for differences

Worm Drive (rear handle) Breakdown:

90-Degree Worm Gearing
Rear Motor Design
Lower RPM
Higher Torque
Longer and Narrower Profile
Heavier Weight
Typically Blade Left
Tougher to Maneuver
Best for Long Rip Cuts and Harder Woods
Periodic Oiling is Necessary

Direct Drive (Sidewinder) Breakdown:

Spur Gear Design
Side Motor Design
Higher RPM
Lower Torque
Shorter and Wider Profile
Lighter Weight
Typically Blade Right
Easier to Maneuver
Best for Cross Cuts and Softer Woods

Not worm drive, Makita doesn't even make a worm drive saw, they favor hypoid saws. This saw also has a higher RPM than the sidewinder as well. Basically while much of what you said is true, very little of it applies to these Makita saws.
