The advantage is that you can carry one charger to the jobsite instead of 4 and you use one outlet.
I don't see the advantage of this as it charges sequentially instead of all batteries at the same time. I have 3-4 regular m12 chargers that I can plug in and get charged batteries quickly.
When an outlet/power is scarce on a job site, and you don't want to pay a guy to stand there waiting for the battery to finish charging to swap. These also work very well for overnight charging, as you don't need to have all of your batteries done charging 5 minutes ago. They're ready for the next work day.

Same cost on CPO but you have to pay for shipping.

You might as well carry one charger then and just switch out the battery once charged with another battery. The only thing this charger does is save walking time.

As far as one outlet, why not have a multiple cord outlet splitter with you already plugged into one of the chargers?

Or carry your 4 chargers, a clip strip, and use one outlet to charge all 4 batteries at once. Assuming of course, that you have sufficient space in your ridiculously overpriced PACKOUT plastic toolbox for that.

Yeah it just saves time for swapping the batteries out but doesn't deliver same benefit of using multiple chargers to charge them simultaneously. I think it would be more beneficial to put the money towards bigger capacity battery so you have to charge less often (unless you need/prefer the smallest size ones).

Wow, good to know. Might as well make a tower like the Milwaukee contractor guy on YouTube with his tower of power recharging station with all his Milwaukee chargers housed in a tower.

*edit*
Actually a build video if you have a bunch of Milwaukee chargers already.

This thing likely draws around 120 watts. A typical outlet can output about 15x that. A heavy duty outlet can output 20x.
They could have at least recharged 2x batteries at a time especially if they want to appeal to "jobsite" workers.

It's disappointing to see them selling this charger at $100 regularly. I wanted to see if they had any redeeming features and they basically only have two features: 4 port sequential and their redlink monitoring.

If they threw in a 120 outlet or many usb ports, I might consider this charger but considering how combo deals usually come with their own chargers, it's hard to justify this, even at the sale price.

I could definitely see the application of this for an auto mechanic shop for overnight charging, as some big tool boxes have limited outlet plug strips built in so stuff can charge while the cabinet is locked.

The sequential charging could also be good for people running small generators/battery banks- if you have a Honda eu1000 or similar and are needing a fan, light, and batteries charging, you could already have the generator close to maximum capacity and this will allow you to stay under the amperage limit AND charge multiple batteries.

You could save your money and buy a kenworth to carry all your chargers. Or possibly spend several hours building some contraption integrating a plethora of chargers. Better yet hire a worker to watch your charger all day. It wouldn't make any sense spending the whooping $59 when you have all these great ideas above……..
