KnarlyCarl Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 We all know how the recent preorders went for everybody... Plus, in my part of town, it's coming into winter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Not sure if it's a pricing error, but the trimmer is $100 more for a 9.0 and a fast charger. That's a decent deal.

Doubt it they probably wanted to keep the bundle under 3 bills, sounds better than 329Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyB Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Shit, just as I'm looking to invest in either the Makita 36 V , blower & trimmer, or the Ego 56V blower & trimmer, Milwaukee decides to screw with my head now.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Julian Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Yay!! I'm hoping they have better deals with the 9.0 like they do with the miter saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 I'm not convinced yet. I'm waiting on reviews. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khariV Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 The string trimmer is really the only one that has my attention. I imagine I could get the blower for my deck, but the leaves and sticks in my yard proper would laugh at the CFMs and runtime that it pushes.

jeffmcmillan Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 I hope they don't fall in the same trap as Makita OPE. Any of those bare tools you can get the EGO equivalent with a battery for the same price and open up a well established and more complete OPE line. Edit: I misread prices so the hedge trimmers are the same price but I think the point stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on that Jeff, I'm already invested in the Makita 18V/36V line, but have not made the jump to their 5ah/6ah batteries yet. The Ego line looks like a good product and to be honest I wouldn't mind jumping into that battery platform to save some money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Julian Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Good deal at AcmeTool.com... $10 off $150, $25 off $250, $50 off $300. If you get any of the OPE kits for $299 and add some small item to push it over $300, then you can get the $50 off and free shipping. Not bad! Promo code HOHOHO. And you get the free $20 gloves! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMack37 Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 That string trimmer kit seems like a good deal, with sale pricing it's going to be really reasonable. I'm not sure if they'll compete with 56V EGOs, we'll see...but if you're not in the EGO lineup already, the Milwaukee coming close might be a good buy. I do wish Milwaukee would have store Makita's X2 idea...but that may hurt the perception of the HD batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyB Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 This really sucks, the Milwaukee OPE is very tempting. I got about $500.00 to burn up on some tools for this X-Mass and can't decide on which blower & hedge trimmer to jump on..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 It will be tough to decide between Ego, FlexVolt and Fuel but pricepoint and a lawnmower will do some talking lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a 3 year battery warranty in the string trimmer but I can't find anything on the tool warranty. The blower and hedge trimmer both show a 3 year tool warranty. Odd.
