Thanks for posting. It's not a great deal, though. Milwaukee deals have been trash the last 6 months.

The fuel blower? Really?

That thing has been 120 dollars, standalone, at Home Depot for awhile. It's slow, too. The double battery fuel blower they came out with isn't even as fast as half of Ego's blower models.

This blower is the 3017-20 which just came out.

I guess I didn't realize they wasted their time to make a another blower that is barely better than the original fuel blower. Ego has had a 200 mph blower out for almost 3 years.

10 mph and about 50 cfm more than the original Fuel? Wow. That's all? Is Milwaukee being serious?

They really aren't staying competitive in the outdoor power tool world. I think they will need a higher voltage battery, like the other brands.
Agree 100% that 18V is too weak for OPE, I've been saying that for years when images of burnt off string trimmers were popping up. Their solution is dual battery, which is great that I won't have to buy a new line of batteries, but still a poor solution for the price of milwaukee tools. I'd say a solution based of the MX platform would be nice, but those batteries are too expensive and probably overkill. 56V seems to be the sweetspot for OPE.

Not really a deal on the batts and charger, but it is on the 1/2" mid-torque impact. This deal brings it down to $135.86 shipped.

Milwaukee already messed up with the overheating issues.

They also messed up with the double battery tools. They have now set up those tools, when a new battery platform comes out, for them to be orphaned.

Just get Ego and save yourself the trouble.
Yep, I originally bought 80V kobalt when I bought my house but have been switching over to Ego.

One of the biggest problems with all other brands than Ego, is multiple battery platforms. Kobalt has 24v, 40v, 60v, and 80v. Greenworks, same.

Dewalt made a smart move making 60v backward compatible to 20v. Milwaukee can't do that with double battery tools…

Used this to hack the 1/2" mid torque impact to end up getting the impact for 140 which is a pretty great deal

Buy the battery combo, get the Milwaukee Mid Torque 1/2 in. Impact Wrench free. Makes the battery combo $163 and the impact wrench $136.

Hackable. I'm only keeping the impact. Cheapest I've seen it.

This is a good deal on the impact and cancel the battery. If you place your order for pickup at 2 different stores, you can cancel one of the items with the app right after purchase. My Cc was only charged $147.07 for the impact only.

Was looking at getting the impact wrench, but I don't have any batteries. Any recommendations for Milwaukee batteries cheaper than the $163 half of the deal?

Ok soooo, go buy an ego lol.

They also have a backpack blower if you want higher speeds. These little handheld blowers are for homeowner use and 120/140 is more than enough. You don't exactly need 200mph to blow some leaves from a couple small trees πŸ˜…. And if you have property with lots of trees, they just aren't for you.

I think Milwaukee makes outdoor power equipment stuff for people already invested into the Milwaukee line of TOOLS and the batteries. If I was buying only a blower and a weed whacker, I wouldn't be diving head first into the Milwaukee line. With that said I have 13 acres with 3 acres of grass and I utilize a M18 blower and weedwhacker. And they are more than plentiful for that, even on a 5.0 battery on the weedwhacker 🀷🏻 β™‚οΈπŸ€·πŸ» β™‚οΈπŸ€·πŸ» ♂️

I'd love to know what guys are doing or trying to cut with a weedwhacker and having major issues with it πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚.

This makes the router $120 if you hack it and return batteries, which is very tempting...
