Amazon just dropped the pricing on several Makita cordless power tools, taking them down to Black Friday 2017 pricing. It looks like the prices will be valid (at least?) thru 11/29/17.
One thing I found curious is that they have 2 impact driver kits, one brushless and the other brushed, at the same $99 price point. What’s the appeal of the brushed motor kit if you can get the brushless one for the same money?

Some of these look to be REALLY GOOD deals. The drill and impact I already knew about, and I expressed my thoughts about them elsewhere.
But that 5-tool cordless combo kit for $299? That’s a noteworthy-enough deal that I’ll likely post about it separately over the weekend.
I’m surprised by the 12V Max CXT battery deal. They’re pricing the 4.0Ah battery pack at the same price as the 2.0Ah. That will likely get some 12V users’ attention. It looks like it’ll pair very nicely with the heavier duty tools, such as the CXT 3-3/8″ circular saw.

Do you think Home Depot will have to the 2 batt for $99 deal? I don’t see it in BF right up

Yes; it’s live online now.

It does not look like the MILW2017 code applies.
