I found a great deal on the Milwaukee Dual Battery String Trimmer at my local store. The SKU is 1010140249 and the model is 3006-22. The original price was $699, but it's now on sale for $349. This package comes with two 8 amp FORGE batteries, a dual bay rapid charger, and the string trimmer itself. I'm a bit disappointed that it doesn't include the handle with interchangeable attachments, but I'm wondering if there are any downsides to buying multiple units. Since the batteries and charger are worth about $250, and the string trimmer seems to be valued between $150-$200, is it too greedy to stock up?

Honestly, I think it's great to pick up what you need, but it's a bit frustrating seeing people buy all these up just for resale. I thought tool flipping would be different from the bourbon craze, but here we are. Just my two cents, though! Get what you need and leave some for others if you can.
Hey, are you sure those batteries are actually Forge? My Home Depot has a similar deal, but they come with HO batteries instead. Just a heads-up!
Ah man, I thought I was getting Forge too, but I think this one doesn't have them. Pretty disappointed!
From what I've seen, I've bought four of these and they all came with Forge batteries! They're high outputs, so it's a win in my book!
