Glad I could help... I was looking at the new year deals recently since my ancient Craftsman 7 1/4 saw is wobbly. I need tool boxes though to get my shop in Hartsville under some sort of control. So I'm just looking around a lot right now.

Milwaukee M18 FUEL 18V Lith-Ion Brushless Cordless 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw with M18 18V REDLITHIUM FORGE XC 8.0 Ah Battery Pack 2834-20-48-11-1881 - The Home Depot

Now you can tackle the job with ease and comfort by choosing this Milwaukee M LithiumIon Brushless Cordless Circular Saw.

So what is the deal with the Forge battery?
 
@Ron if it were me I’d go with the SDS Max version just to not be limited on size or power, and then buy an SDS Max to SDS Plus adapter for $60 and leave it in. But if all you’ll ever need is SDS Plus then I guess that’ll work, but with my luck the first thing I’d go to drill would be one size bigger than the largest SDS Plus option :laughing:

Just the latest generation of Milwaukee batteries. They keep improving the cell power and density, so it’s the third generation of the M18 line.

So buy these before any other? I have several old units crapping out. I assume they use the same charger?

Yes, same Charger. We are starting to swap some of our M18 batteries and getting the forge in. They are a whole different battery animal. Chargin is way faster even on the 8Ah. They charge in the old style 5 Ah time.

Dafuq you think you did posting that battery deal for me? Finally started buying some big boy batteries, so I had to have a looksee. Got poking around, saw some lights…and I flashed back to this morning when it was still dark out and I heard a helluva noise in the woods and realized the closest good light was on a rifle. Didn’t like that (it was a nice doe by the way). So figured a Milwaukee handheld light wouldn’t hurt while I was surfing the tool section anyway.

How it started…

That triple really got me…I wanted it for all the time I don’t spend under vehicles anymore, and it was free on Home Depot, but couldn’t bundle it with anything I wanted…so I had to go find it elsewhere.


I don’t understand moderation…

This is the first year in probably a decade that I didn’t get any Milwaukee stuff for Christmas. @UTfball68 what/where is this triple deal?
 
Speaking of such things, I did build me a Milwaukee bar today.

That link got me too. I've been wanting a few more batteries and a cordless grinder. This allowed me to find a killer deal on both.
