Current deal at Harbor Freight

Yeah, that is a problem. I’m slowly accumulating different batteries and chargers. I have DeWalt, Makita, Ryobi, and now Hercules. I originally vowed to stay with just DeWalt, and then somehow….

YES, I forgot .. I also have Makita drill and impact. I just purchased a Ryobi right angle drill !

Good batteries are not cheap. I am “married” to Dewalt so it would a really special offering for me to buy another make.

I did buy a HF Lynxx chainsaw but they no longer support it. That has soured me on HF for battery tools.

I have an old HF drill with an obsolete battery. I should toss it. But I think they have standardized on the Bauer and Hercules tools and batteries now. I do really like my DeWalt battery tools too, but it seems like they’re all good nowadays.

I tried a couple days back to get the grease gun deal. Unfortunately all the nearby HF stores are sold out of the battery starter kits I asked if I could buy the grease gun tool since they only had one of those left and pick up the battery and charger later,
Nope. Manager gave me a card to call next Wednesday to see if they arrive then.

Yeah I bought the same saw, plus the Lynx polesaw. Decent enough tools, but they discontinued them after a relatively short period of time. I did pick an extra battery when they still had them, but I probably won't be getting another HF battery tool again either for the same reason.

That's really tempting. Not that I need an electric grease gun, but for that price...

 

[camshawn]

Every brand has abandoned a battery style. It isn’t as common now but Milwaukee, Bosch, Ridgid (Home Depot) have all done it to me.

That grease gun is really great! Just love mine...

I feel the same way. Yet in my book, $99 for the HF tool, battery and charger vs $229 for the DeWalt tool only, qualifies as a special offering. I don't grease enough to justify the Dewalt, but a hundred bucks might be worth it to me if I knew the battery won't crap out prematurely. (My Dewalt drill is 10 years old or older, with the original batteries)

The battery/charger/free tool is back on at HF.
