Deal Details
Been tracking this the last few weeks. M18 Trimmer WITH the battery just dropped to the same price as the M18 String Trimmer (Tool Only). Seems like a decent deal for tool PLUS a 6Ah battery.

Great trimmer, but at this point, I would say spent a few more for the quik-lok version for the ability to add a edger, pole saw, hedge trimmer attachment off the same motor.
You'll eventually want those too...

Does the 5ah batter come packaged separate that you could return it?

Awesome! Thanks!

And to hack, do I ship the battery to my house and cancel it right after ordering?

Its easier to pick up. Just choose a store that you will not go to "pick up" the battery and your home store to pick up the trimmer combo. Then cancel the battery pick up

agreed. I have the quik-lok version and its been nice to be able to switch between different implements.

Considering this is a legit deal, and not a 'hack' that HD is likely to close soon, I gave a TU. 6 AH at 18V is adequate for smaller yards, and you don't have a $120 hold on your credit card for two weeks.

FWIW, I got in on the 8AH trimmer w/ the quick lock. The quick lock is nifty, but the Milwaukee attachments are, as expected, very expensive. It's almost worth it just to buy an 18V edger...

What's this "hack" that you speak of? Never heard of it before

I got the Fuel version with the 8.0ah for $199 (using the hack). I'd take it over this.

Could someone describe the "hack" for the uninformed? TIA.

I am looking at trimmer + edger combo [homedepot.com] for $398. What would be the net cost with the hack?
