Not sure how this isn't a huge upvote. What am I missing? The batteries and charger are $100 and that's when they're absolutely on blowout sale.

$14 more than the Ohio power tool deal from a couple weeks ago.

But still a good deal.

Yep I think this just includes the charger. Great deal though, wish I could just get the saw itself I already have 2x 5.0

That was a pricing error and it got shut down pretty quickly.

Been waiting for this deal to come back. Missed out on the Ohio deal a few weeks ago but for the best m12 batteries and a super light brushless saw I am not going to regret Pauling a bit more on this deal.

I have this saw and used it to install hardwood flooring, where its lightweight and smaller footprint were beneficial. It handled cutting the flooring okay. For more general use, the saw is underwhelming compared to a 6 1/2" or 7 1/4" 18v saw and struggles with cuts that the larger saws handle easily.

The 5 3/8" saw has its use cases and I like grabbing it for small tasks, but I would be disappointed using it as my only saw. The Daily Deal also has a 6 1/2 M18 Fuel saw with (1) 5AH battery for $199. That would be a better all around saw, although only (1) battery and no charger.

They also have the 6 1/2 M18 Saw Only for $229 with a free impact drill, so if you can pull off the hack and return the drill, the saw would be $130.

you could probably sell the batteries on fb for $100 very quickly.

I picked up a m12 year or so ago... I use it quite often for any 2" straight cuts up to 2x10
so easy to handle.

for bigger cuts, or angled, I grab my 20-30+yr old craftsman circular corded saw (was my dad's)

Nice saw. I already have one or I'd get this in a heartbeat. Great for a quick cut or two around the house. Not a toy.

Good batteries, too.

They still honored it though - at least, I got my $149 m12 fuel oscillating tool + 2x 5AH about 2 weeks after the deal.

This is a good little saw. Much better than the first gen because they moved the handle much closer to its center of gravity so it's a lot easier to hold & manipulate. More compact, too - less motor overhang which means you can make cuts in tight areas you wouldn't have been able to with the first gen.

Copy and paste error on Home Depot's part? Why does it say: "Compatible with all M18 REDLITHIUM battery packs" ?
