Deal Details
I don't post on here often so I'm not sure how slick this deal it. But it was similar to a deal a few weeks ago that a lot of people liked.

You get a "free" battery, but the receipt has you paying for the battery and lowering the price of the tool. Then you just return the battery and keep the tool at the reduced price.

The tool then cost you $138.73, which is a 40% price drop.

I have the m12 version and it's a great tool. I would imagine the m18 has more power but also more weight. I haven't had any issues with the m12 or found it doesn't have enough power.

Their website must be getting pounded, I was only able to get in once, and it kept timing out. Now it's not wanting to load at all. I wanted to see the rest of their Labor Day sales

I've used the M12 version and I find the battery likes to pop out mid cut when it encounters even mild resistance

I thought I was the only person that came to Milwaukee tool threads looking for other brands...

So I picked this Milwaukee up. Where the battery attaches, the part of this tool that has the actual metal contacts that slide into the battery contacts, is jiggly. Is that normal?

Thank you is advance.

How do you cancel the extra item through the app? Is it if you pick up from two different stores and cancel it within 30 min?

Can't do it that way anymore. Can only pick two different stores and abandon one for an automatic return after 7 days or can get both and just go return one at customer service

That was pointed out in a review: https://youtu.be/HgnyJknav5c
Jump to the 5:25 mark. He claims it might be part of the Fuel versions way of dampening vibration. No clue if that's the case though.
