Running what I brung and taking what I win
Bought this nail gun today. Had to replace some 6' dog eared fence boards in the backyard so it was the perfect reason to add to the collection.


Put in the cart and the price is $299. Funny thing is it wouldn't pull up the sale price of $299 in the register so the cashier went online and sure enough $299 in the cart so I bought it "online" through the cashiers computer and got the $299 price. Weird but that's $80 which is really important for something I don't really need.... :D

Have started switching over all my dad’s outdoor tools to M18 cordless (it’s getting harder for him to start small engines). He has the quick attach trimmer, which he really likes. He got the edger (bed definer) attachment this spring but hasn’t used it yet that I know of.

Love the M18 lawn and garden stuff. The chainsaw works surprisingly well. Of course it's not a work saw but it's perfect for around the house trimming and what not. Also use it at our yard to keep the chainlink fence line clear.

I have the chainsaw, hedge trimmer, weed eater and blower. We use the smaller blowers to blow out air filters.

I think the chainsaw is next on the list for him. I gave him one of the old man Stihl easy start saws a few years ago, but even that is getting to be a bit much.

I think he'll like it. Love mine. No gas, no oil, no mix, no choke - just cut. Like I said it's not a production saw by any means but it's great for homeowner stuff.

I have the arborist (top handle) saw and it's great for what it's intended for. Trying to start a gas engine up in a tree is no fun. Of course I use it for all sorts of other small cutting needs also.

That's the one I have - top handle like a gas saw.

Anyone have the Quik-lok trimmer with the other attachments?
I've had one for several years. It's been a good unit for me, but, according to the Milwaukee service center guy I talked to, the original power head had a bad habit of eating bearings. Mine went out with a few weeks left on the warranty. The updated power units(new model number) are supposed to fix that problem.
