    I'll chime in as well. I bought the Milwaukee mower when it was first released to have extra batteries for my blower. For me the power is fine it just does not seem to suck as well as my old Honda. I do run it in "turbo?" mode at all times as well, I find that helps. I've tried their high lift blade and it does not seem to make any difference.

    I picked this up a while back and I’m glad I waited till the battery operated ones came out. No more fighting sheet goods on cross cuts. I used it to cut down a door and it sliced through like butter!IMG_2834.jpg IMG_2833.jpg IMG_2835.jpg
    While Home Depot has their batteries and a tool sale going on I believe I will pick up a couple more 6ah batteries and a grinder as well.

    I just got the 6 AH kit with a free router. Can't wait to try it out.

    Love mine, the WEN tracks from Amazon work great with it and even support the anti tip feature.

    I’ll check those out I bought a 55 Milwaukee but had a terrible time getting it here. A label was created and then nothing. Home Depot came through after a few calls and sold the track to me for a penny. Their customer service is top notch!!

    I also got the Milwaukee 55" track. I've got two of the WEN 55's that I keep joined together for longer cuts. They are about 99% the same thing and I dont have to adjust the saw moving from one to the other.

    I purchased the small m12 hedge trimmer for my wife. She’s a tiny human, and the trimmer is very light. Great for final shaping.

    I want to get a second one in case I’m doing something away from home. At home the 55 will probably do anything I might run into. I do most of my ripping on the table saw.

    I’ve been looking at the 18 right now I’m using a husqvarna pole saw with a hedge attachment. And not that it doesn’t work great it’s like 8 or 9’ long. You know you’ve trimmed the hedges after you swing this thing!

    I've been using this one for a while now. Not too heavy, does a good job. A lot easier to use in close quarters. If you have tall hedges, you'd be better off with the pole attachment than using a ladder.

    That's slick, and as much as the little M12 one

    Dammit...I don't need an M18 though for tiny bushes :rofl:

    Hmm, choices

    I believe that is what I need I would probably trim things before they are out of control. I’ve already let the bushes in front of my house get too tall and I probably need to start over. IMG_2948.jpg IMG_2950.jpg
    Even trimmed they are way tall I probably need to start over and stay on top of it next time.

    I have this arrangement. Each one of the tool heads have been great, and the little pole chain saw makes quick work of anything I've thrown at it. Sometimes it's easier to use that rather than my corded 16" homelite chain saw.

    I'd highly recommend them if you are in the market for multiple things, or could use multi function in the future.

    I'm pretty sure I didn't pay the MSRP for mine. You know, the HD 2-step.

    Yeah I don't believe any of us do at all as we usually do the discount + battery/tool hack and military discount

    At least, that's how I do it for every tool I buy :anonymous:

    That looks pretty good. I'm am not a professional landscaper/horticulturist. But a lot of pros suggest keeping hedges down below the height of the porch floor as to keep from hiding the porch.
