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

No--The saw comes packaged with 2 that must be returned.

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
