Great tool and it handles anything I throw at it. Be warned the real Starlock blades are expensive and the KO ones don't last.

If I choose "pick up at store" option, I cannot add to the the cart. If I choose "delivery" option, I can add to the cart but the delivery fee is $79. 😂 It shows there are some in stock at the store. Weird! Anyone is having the same problem?

That means they don't have it in stock in your area.

That's ridiculous, isn't it? It's funny the shipping fee is exactly the same as the price of the item. 😂

I was pissed when I found out about the starlock, but theyve lasted a lot longer then the KO ones

It's just the standard local truck delivery fee like you'd typically use for lumber, etc.. Obviously it's not logical for most other items like this.

Yes, you'll need to find a store with inventory in stock. (I guess this deal might be more YMMV than I'd anticipated!) Slick deal for those who can find it. It's available in my area.

Good price, but blade incompatibility kills the deal. Not worth it.

I bought this tool new years back. This thing is a beast. I had a hard time bogging it down. Sanded down a trailer frame with the sander attachment and cut metal trim and stripped screws with the blades etc. Wasn't overly battery hungry. Biggest battery I used was the 4.0 non core. I'm slowly moving over to team red and will be selling my bosch 18v tools soon.

The con is the blade availability as others have stated. After trying off brand blades, I've gone back to the Bosch blades.

This tool without battery was a front page deal for $49 not too long ago now it's $79 with battery. I wonder which deal is better. Is a 4ah battery worth $30?

I would say it is, its a CORE 18V, newest Bosch 18v version 4AH. The tool comes with one wood STARLOCK cutting blade and a little plastic case for your blades.

Now I will wait for some STARLOCK blades to go on sale. Seems like Bosch has been dumping a lot of 18v tools.

This deal is trash. You have to buy the starlock blades.

Better option would be to get the DeWalt when it's $80-90 and then you can use the universal blades.
