Thanks Curt and others! Yes, I have a boatload of Milwaukee M18 tools, so I’m heavily invested in their products. Not sure I can justify the cost of one of their chainsaws when I consider the amount of use versus cost.
I have a Bauer drill from a few years back, not sure how I ended up with it and I’m not sure it’s a 20V one. It’s probably still in a box somewhere, I’ll have to look. The Atlas does look nice, but it’s another system, a road I really don’t want to go down with another tool. I’ll have a look in the garage today and see what I have as far as the Bauer drill, if I can find it. My local HF has the saw but no chargers or batteries, thanks to the sale they’ve got going right now. Might have to buy the saw and wait a week or two for them to restock chargers and batteries. -D > On May 7, 2024, at 7:46 AM, OK DonN via Mercedes <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Do you have a collection of other battery powered tools using the same > battery?
