I just snagged the M12 stubby tool with two batteries for a great deal at $169. Is it possible to return the batteries later? I'm also wondering if I should switch to a different deal that includes a charger. As a DIY mechanic, this is my first real tool, and I'm contemplating whether to invest in a $30 protection plan. Any advice?

Just to clarify, the hack you're mentioning isn't the $169 deal; that's for a different version. The hack with the stubby costs around $199, with the tool valued at $120 and batteries at $79, plus you can return the batteries. If you have any doubts about whether they'll allow the hack, it might be worth it to consider a different setup instead.
I've heard they keep raising prices on these deals, so maybe now the hack is upwards of $140.
About the 3.0 batteries, they're decent for impact drivers and drills but might not be the best choice for tools like the die grinder or stubby impact wrench. Just something to consider based on what you'll use them for.
Good to know! I'll probably stick to using them for the impact driver, then.
There's a detailed guide pinned about the M12 stubby hack, so check it out for more info! As for the protection plan, a lot of folks say it's not worth the money. You can find warranty details on Milwaukee's official site that might help you decide about coverage.
Do they usually let you do a hack like that at the store? Should I just return what I have and look for a better deal?
