smoking deal on m12 fuel - better than m18, check youtube videos and reviews. i paid $150 with 6ah. $100 with a 4ah and cute bag is perfect.

I did store pickup at two different stores and the order went through. When going to checkout the first time it went back to the cart and had a warning that I selected two different store. Once I hit checkout again, it continued through and it worked.

I grabbed this. Wasn't able to cancel the battery separately immediately but I plan to try and return just the battery. Lots of "downvotes" on performing the hack. Why?
Probably those who couldn't afford quality tools.

Same for me. It also said items would only be held for 7 days, so presumably if not picked up it is canceled.

IMO this is a better deal than the reported bare tool and x2 6.0Ah batteries that are happening next week.

Skil can beat Milwaukee!

....

In short, having done the research across lower powered multi tools before buying, Milwaukee at 12v is severely overpriced and the cheaper Skil 12v matches/beats (ebay.com everyday has them dirt-cheap).

Add non-tool features like the fact the Skil 12v battery can charge your phone like a powerbank makes the Skil the no-brainer cheaper choice.

...

You'd have to move up to the Milwaukee 18v lineup for the price vs performance to make sense.

Except Skil has a fraction of the lineup options.

I ordered with the 6.0 battery, ship to home.

Waited about five minutes, refreshed order history, and was able to cancel the 6.0 battery by itself. I noted that it says you must cancel within 45 minutes of the confirmation email.

Guess that doesn't work for everyone. Oh well.

Is that guaranteed they refund? Or can I just set it to the same store, pick up both, then return the battery asap for $69.83 effectively getting the tool for $99.17
pay with credit card. if you pay with a gift card you'll have to go into store and explain you need refund on another gift card.

I don't think this is at all a no-brainer choice. A few things about these comparisons/reviews:

(1) The M12 FUEL and Skil reviews are by the same authors, but the Skil review as a couple years earlier so it didn't have the FUEL to compare with. The reviewer clearly liked the FUEL product.
(2) The youtube review is between the Skil Brushless vs the M12 regular (i.e., not brushless) so I'm not surprised that the brushless could outperform.
(3) Yes Milwaukee is across the board more expensive than any of the other cordfree lines, but they also have a particularly deep ecosystem and almost no lemons in the line. Milwaukee is built for and targeted to contractors, Skil more targeted to DIY/prosumer.

I have not used any of these multitools (I'm still using a corded Fein) so I can't really make a comparison - I suspect the Skil would be a great choice for people who aren't really invested in an ecosystem and don't expect to expand beyond a few base tools. But for somebody already in the FUEL ecosystem, none of Milwaukee's tools have let me down and with the reviews out there I would only be shopping for the Milwaukee FUEL choice.

For everyone who is confused about hacking this deal, just pick up both from a store and immediately ask to return the battery. You can do it at the same desk you pick the order up from. They HD employees do not care, everyone does it. I did it yesterday without issue for the M18 Fuel version.

Yeah, it doesn't work for me either (both shipping to home). Will try again at the physical store or ship to store for pick up.
