A tip that may assist some in finding this deal is to go to the Lowe's product page in the deal description. On the top of the product page, set "your store" using zip 61115. This will list Machesney Park (IL) as your store. You will see under the Add to Cart Button that there is listed the number of in-stock items available for "Free Store and Curbside Pickup at Machesney Park Lowes (in blue)". Click on that blue store name to open a "check other stores" dialog. Make sure the "Free Store Pickup Today" toggle is ON, then enter your zip into the search. This may result in stores near you that have stock, but may not guarantee they are clearance priced, so still YMMV. I also got results by entering state names, but it is glitchy. Good Luck.
Using the above method, I confirmed the following stores have the item in stock (In store Prices unknown):
Naperville, IL 60564
Lafayette, IN 47905
E. Indianapolis, IN 46219
Jersey City, NJ 07304
Cromwell, CT 06416

These were at front of store on end cap and clearly marked with clearance pricing.
Using Lowe's store card saves 5%.
Now this is the interesting part for me:
WITH simple MODIFICATION, this will work with Milwaukee M18 Power Head with Quik-Lok, model 2825-20.
As provided, the Ego brush will not fit into the Milwaukee Power head. Conversion requires one to file off the small white square locking tab of the Ego attachment that is part of the nylon collar surrounding the attachment point. By doing so, the Ego attachment will fit into the Milwaukee head, and the star shaped drive shaft will engage and work. Caveats are the Ego head does not "lock" with a click like Milwaukee attachments do and one must fully tighten the clamping knob to hold in place. While I can verify that this does work, I cannot say with certainty that the drive shaft star pattern is exactly the same on both units, which could cause damage to either the attachment or head linkage. Use this info at your own risk.
I thought this was a reasonable risk for me, since I only have Milwaukee equipment, but the similar bristle brush is $300 from Milwaukee. I am also aware that Ego makes a cultivator attachment that others have indicated will work with the Milwaukee head with the same modification, while Milwaukee currently does not sell one.
I have attached a copy of my sales receipt.

interested in this modification for ego and milwaukee, is there any other website that shows more info? I have the Milwaukee quick-lot trimmer and could use a lot of the ego attachments if possible.
These are nowhere to be found in store around the Twin Cities MN
Others may want to look at possible modification of these too.

The only other thing I will mention is this brush attachment is a BRUTE of a tool, and I am sure it puts a lot more stress on the mating parts when in use. Other systems I have had in the past have worked fine for most attachments, but those like this brush and I am sure the cultivator will definitely test the durability of the head unit. In my case, I have three of the Milwaukee heads (don't ask me why or tell my wife!), so I am comfortable with the possibility of a sacrificial head loss if things go bad. Plus, I only have about 30 minutes of testing on my Ego/Milwaukee combo, so I cannot say anything about how long this may work without issues.
In reading reviews of the Ego brush, others have used it for light snow removal, de-thatching of lawns when used inverted, and have added "training wheels" somehow to this unit to make it less of a workout for the operator.

It's an attachment. It has no motor. It's powered by the head unit.
