Milwaukee and Dewalt have fanboys rooted in the marketing hype. Despite the debates here, Milwaukee and Dewalt are more like twins than they are different. It is like debating whether an Accord or Camry is better, as if they are massively different vehicles.
The truth is that Team Red and Team Yellow spend millions of dollars in marketing alone to recruit consumers to buy into their products. That is the real reason why they offer so many lines of tools (12v, 18v/20v, Fuel, Surge, Flexvolt, Power Detect, XR, Atomic, blah, blah, blah). It's like dangling various bait when fishing, hoping one hits. At some price point, they are hoping you bite and then it is game over, you're sucked into their line and forever drinking their Kool-Aid.
If I had to do it all over again, I would probably choose Rigid. They have quality tools, decent prices, but win big time by offering a great warranty policy, even on batteries. If a Dewalt or Milwaukee battery goes bad, you're shelling out another $50 or so for a new one. If a Rigid battery goes bad, you can swap it for a new one for free. They might not have the marketing power and variety of other lines, but most every tool you would need for 99% of jobs, they make. Just my 2 cents.
People are downvoting me bc I clicked on a deal that shows FREE but I am not getting anything for free unless I spend $200, not sure why I'm being downvoted when the deal subject should clearly indicate free with tool purchase, go ahead keep downvoting me, I'll still be able to sleep tonight
When you go to the grocery store and apples are buy-one-get-one-free, do you complain to the store manager that you had to pay for an apple? IT SAID FREE IN THE WORDS!!
I rarely use a reciprocating saw unless I'm tearing something apart (like removing a 2x4 wall or stuffing an old tenant's couch into the waste bin) or making a quick cut on tree branch.
They're kind of the cuts-all of the tool world, and they're relatively quick, but they make sloppy cuts.
I end up using recip all the time to finish cutting 6x6 that the circular saw can't quite make though (even flipping over) and also I break down more pallets and junk more often than I'd like to admit.... At least I have a wood burning fireplace to feed.
I'm just wondering if this recip is good enough or I should wait for the flexvolt version. (I already have a 12v bosch and occilating tool for lightweight chores). Just need to replace an ancient 15yr old craftsman pro 20v behemoth.
So I just bought the recip saw. Wondering if I truly need it - I already have a Dewalt 20v circular saw, jigsaw (wired), and a multi-tool with a set of wood and metal blades. Is a recip saw faster?
Why do you have all those tools, and yet not know the answer to that question? Have you ever used any of them?
I love my fan. Like someone else, I got it a year or two ago or $99 with battery and it's AWESOME. I live in the south, and it helps to have a fan you can just bring with you into the lawn without needing cords. Plus, it's pretty strong (imho) and lasts a good while.
What you are suggesting is fraud, a type of theft. So yeah, that's stealing.
It would be fraud if I intentionally stole. I'll just go ask the return counter with full disclosure. I'm not trying to steal. Just asking if any one had returned it if they make you return the battery as well. Doesn't sound like you know at all. It's labeled as a "gift" in my cart so it's an odd situation.
I do. Got it at HD for about $70. It's ok as a personal fan, but that's about it. I do like that it's dual powered. I haven't a clue why they didn't make the tripod light that way.
This deal or the powerstack?

It's not an odd situation.
With lowes the "free" item is considered part of the purchased item, you have to return the entire item to get a refund. It's the same policy for everything. You can't return a battery without the charger, a saw without the blade, and so on.
The item is free *with your purchase of a select tool*.
You return the tool, you no longer have any right to the free item because you forefit the purchase of a select tool.

Although I do see them being sold on ebay for $54 for 2. That can't be legit. Must be knock offs.
