OK this is a great deal. I was considering buying it when I thought I could get the saw for 150. The saw itself is worth it at 150 but you get 2 batts and the charger. Not looking to switch fully to makita so won't keep the extra 2 batts. Thanks!

To put it in perspective, a brand new ryobi brushless saw (tool only) is 100. You're getting a much better saw, much better ergonomics, 2 5ah batts, and a charger for $50 more

I have this set from a previous SD. This saw is a beast power/torque wise. Requires both batteries to run, bigger and heavier than almost all of the Makita sidewinder saws. That said, if you know what you are getting with this saw, it's a fantastic deal.

This deal, if you're not interested in the saw + charger, may get you to 2x batteries a little cheaper ($94 when paired with the jigsaw). This is different then $154 for 2x batteries, double charger, & saw for $154.

can you return just the saw from the kit "Makita 18V X2 LXT 5.0Ah Lithium-Ion (36V) Brushless Cordless Rear Handle 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw Kit" and keep 4 batteries?

Or will they not allow you to just return the saw?

Sorry for the stupid question, but what is the hack? I see the $299 price, but don't understand what the hack means or what I'm supposed to do.

We can return the additional batteries(if not needed) will result in the net amount to be 155

I bought this last sd deal.... returned extra batteries to get the 150 price tag. Just used it recently while constructing a fence. Worked well. As a side note, I'm currently building a home and the framer i subbed uses this saw I noticed on the job site

Product Description:	Makita, a pioneer in brushless motor technology and battery innovation, combines both in the 18-Volt X2 LXT (36-Volt) Lithium-Ion Brushless Rear Handle 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw (XSR01PT). It's powered by two 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion batteries for maximum performance and has an electronically controlled BL Brushless motor that matches torque and RPM to the application. Makita 18-Volt X2 means freedom from the cord, even for demanding applications like cutting sheet and dimensional lumber that traditionally called for a corded saw. Best of all, users can remain in one battery platform, using the same fast-charging 18-Volt batteries with the XSR01PT as they use across the expansive Makita 18-Volt LXT cordless tool series. The XSR01PT has a long list of features for efficient cutting without the cord. Users of leading corded saws will appreciate the blade-left rear-handle design. The electronically controlled brushless motor delivers a full 5,100 RPM for efficient cutting. In internal testing, the XSR01PT made up to 558 crosscuts per charge in 2x4 SPF lumber using 2 fully-charged 5.0Ah batteries. Added features include a large 2-9/16 in. cutting capacity at 90 degree that will cut 3X lumber in a single pass and an electric brake for maximum productivity. The saw has a die-cast magnesium base and blade guard with die-cast aluminum blade cover and motor housing, which combines durability with less weight (only 12.4 lbs. with batteries).
