[member=48572]Shane Holland[/member] an e-mail from ToolNut said buy Milwaukee before a price increase. Can you shed some light on this?

[member=297]Michael Kellough[/member], there are several items increasing in price on 11/15. Most notably some of the new 12Ah HD kits, which are currently $399. We're offering free bonus 12Ah batteries with these kits currently, which makes them a great value. But, they will be $449 after today.

2722-21HD M18 FUEL™ SUPER SAWZALL® 12AH KIT
2727-21HD M18 FUEL™ 16" CHAINSAW 12AH KIT
2732-21HD M18 FUEL™ 7-1/4" CIRCULAR SAW 12AH KIT

Also, some of the cordless plumbing tools.

Thanks Shane. How did you know I was less interested in plumbing tools?  [wink]

“Integrated dust port on metal blade guard with included vacuum adaptor“

Have you heard any reports of anyone using the vac adapter?

Michael, I don't have any intel. I asked any of the guys in the store and will let you know if i hear anything. I did find the video below, check the 3:30 minute mark. Looks average when it comes to dust collection.

Thanks Shane. Trying to decide between this Milwaukee and the Makita XSH06PT1.

The XSH06PT1 is an 18V X2 (36V) tool which should be more powerful. It's going to be $100 cheaper tomorrow and we're giving 2 free batteries with it. In stock with free shipping. A lot of positive feedback online about this saw.

Gotta check that Makita out tomorrow!

Took me a minute to realize what you meant about being $100 less tomorrow. The Makita today is $50 less than the Milwaukee and as you mentioned before, the Milwaukee price increases $50 tomorrow.
