Well finally some details about the first Mower offered by Milwaukee scheduled to be available in April. Claims of 10ft/lbs of torque (more than a 200cc ICE mower) Highest was 8.3lb/ft (Ego I think) It uses a 7-gauge stamped steel body (Most are 14-17 gauge or plastic!) 180 degree LED lighting with on/off switch. The presence lever recesses into a slot in the handle to reduce fatigue. A full 21 inch blade (Most 21 inch class mowers have 20-20.5 inch blades) It has a large battery charge indicator on the rear facing the operator for easy checks on remaining charge. 10 inch driven rear wheels, 8 inch front wheels all on bearings. (Most do not have bearings on the wheels but bushings) 1 to 4 MPH speed control roller knob and thumb/palm engagement lever (Engagement lever provides for a variable speed up to the max speed you set.) A rear side discharge shoot to keep the width the same whether mulching, bagging or discharging. The motor is set rear of center which offers easier lift and affords a bit more weight on the rear drive wheels. Single point raise and lower from 1 to 4 inches in seven steps. Of course it folds up for easy storage and transport and has a three position handle adjustment. A "high lift" mode increases motor RPM to 3300 RPM for max lift. The kit includes the mower, 2xM18 12ah batteries, a dual simultaneous rapid charger, discharge shoot, and bag. It's being marketed towards lawn care professionals with claims of 60 minutes runtimes able to cut 1/2 acre at an MSRP of $999.00 which for your average homeowner is quite steep. I'm stoked and plan on ordering as soon as it's available what do others think? Milwaukee M18 FUEL Brushless Cordless 21 in. Walk Behind Dual Battery Self-Propelled Mower w/ (2) 12.0Ah Battery and Rapid Charger-2823-22HD - The Home Depot

wondering what everyone thought of fuel tools vs basemodels for the price, in my opinion fuel is a must for some tools where power/performance are drastically affected and just a luxury.unnecessary on other tools. i got quite a few milwuakee tools fuel and non fuel, the circ saw and grinder need to be brushless imo but the drill and impact gun work fine with a brushed motor and are half the price i got a brushed angle grinder a few motnhs back and it had little power always stalling and got untouchably hot after only a 3ah battery, it burnt up and let the smoke up in under a month, when i took it into homedepot for warrantty they had none left and the guy actually upgraded me for free to the fuel grinder, huge difference its hard to stall the fuel and it barely gets warm, it can also fit a 5 inch disc which is nice cause thats becoming more common than 4.5s whats everyone elses opinion on fuel vs nonfuel, would it make a difference in nut busting torque on the impact guns? impact gun is what im looking for next a little pricey but itll complete my red kit

found this last night and bought one, excited to try it out, eric and dans video on the milwaukee tick was very cool, they did say they feel it will really take off in a few years tho but with this deal seems like the best time to jump in on it. anyone else have one? i think they are normally 29$ for one so 9.99 is not bad at all! http://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-ONE-KEY-TICK-Tool-and-Equipment-Tracker-48-21-2000/300859175
