You will not go wrong with the big "M" in battery tools.I have not researched much. My first thought was to go with the Milwaukee fuel line. Hoping this will be a long term medium use purchase.

Thinking the batteries are the real investment here? Likelihood that Milwaukee will be around long term and their batteries will run other tools that might be needed down the road? Blower might certainly be of interest, along with who knows what on garage tools.

I overheard someone at Lowe's talking to a customer about the E-go batteries and they were like $500 to replace the battery? That seems insane to me.I have not researched much. My first thought was to go with the Milwaukee fuel line. Hoping this will be a long term medium use purchase.

The batteries are the most expensive replacement. Not sure what the unit costs in total but sometimes that's the easiest way.I overheard someone at Lowe's talking to a customer about the E-go batteries and they were like $500 to replace the battery? That seems insane to me.

I have 2 impacts (1/4" and 1/2") 2 drills a SawZall and a small trim saw. I use them hard and they stand up to it.
18V and all over 4 years old and used a lot.
First, it depends upon the size.I overheard someone at Lowe's talking to a customer about the E-go batteries and they were like $500 to replace the battery? That seems insane to me.
Yeah, I think the one being discussed was the highest capacity model.First, it depends upon the size.
If you buy a device with a battery, the difference in price between one with a battery and without puts the battery around $50-100. What I did was buy some with batteries early on and then started buying them without. I have 2x2.5Ah, a 5Ah, and a 7.5Ah.
