Thoughts and will I ever find it cheaper?

Probably not. Great buy with Military Discount.

Are they all Fuel tools? If not, don't buy it.

Oh good catch, yeah stick with fuel/brushless motors

I like the non-Fuel grinder more than the Fuel grinder.

I gave away my non-fuel M12 tools to my mom or friends because I didn't like how underpowered they were compared to the Fuel version. It's a night and day difference.

The grinder feel on the Fuel version is meh. The non-Fuel handles and works better IMO.

Pulled up a stump and root ball this morning with the mower and tow strap. Found out afterward that the root ball had developed around an underground coax cable. Did some investigating and it was my own coax and we don't use it so it got taped up and buried under the flowerbed we put there. I'll splice it back together if we ever end up needing it but we have fiber so coax is pretty much obsolete and 90% of it has already been ripped out of the house anyway. Always call 811 before you dig. Though technically I wasn't digging.

Anyway, got the "flowerbed" put in. In quotations because nothing will actually be grown here. It's right over the utility easement (see above) so we just laid down rubber mulch and will put some pavers down for my wife to put planters on once she gets the plants she wants. need to pick up two more bags to fill in some low spots along the fence but pretty happy with how it came out for a quick, cheap 3 hour job. Probably looks like shit to some but it's in the backyard and I couldn't give two shits about landscaping so as long as the wife is happy, it works for me. We'll do the other back corner next.

It's bigger and more symetrical than the picture makes it look. It's 11'4" on both sides and 16' across the front. I couldn't live with it if it was as off centered as the picture makes it look.

Get some large pots and put succulents in them. Minimal maintenance and it looks great.
