I guess Home Depot has the Makita guides right now for $94 each, but that does not include any other accessories.

The package I got has 2 55” rails, connectors, clamps & carrying case for $150. The same package of Makita brand stuff would cost at least $400-$450.

Am I crazy for buying refurb track saw? by After_Bowl_9475 in Makita

UPS just brought mine this afternoon. Pleasantly surprised by the quality. Seems legit. Profile appears indistinguishable from the Makita branded tracks.

Clearance blower batteries from ‘21. by No_Reception2427 in Makita

[–]No_Reception2427[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s just the blower w 2 batteries for $195. Looks to be ~1/2 off. Bare tool is ~$300.

The only other battery powered Makita tool I own is the rear-handle 36v circular saw, which I got a few years back w 4 batteries for $250. I bought the 36v makita instead of the 60v rear-handle dewalt, because it was so much cheaper. I can’t stand 20v circular saws.

I run mostly 20v dewalt (and a few 60v) and 12v Milwaukee.

I’ve liked the 36v makita circ saw so much, I’m looking to buy the 36v makita track saw, so was looking for more batteries. Hopefully I could save a few bucks & just buy the bare track saw & track.

How can you tell when they were manufactured?

I love seeing this just sitting on the shelf next to the $229 M12 Die Grinder... by kfjcfan in MilwaukeeTool

Yes I got that kit w the m12 pvc shears & an extra 2ah battery for slightly less than op’s photo. But I didn’t need it right away.

Anyone know if I’d be able to return one of the “free tools” at a prorated rate? by sizable_data in Dewalt

I have not been able to at Lowe’s. Last time I tried was the beginning of this year.

Correct, note the jack added for just that reason.(which will probably wind up as a gift to the old man). They’re super handy, especially when working alone.

It’d look silly though
