What’s the Difference Between 'Tool Only' and 'Bare Tool' for Impact Wrenches?

I came across the Milwaukee 2854-20 Compact Impact Wrench on Red Tool Store Dot Com, and it's listed in two ways—one as 'bare tool' and the other as 'tool only', but the prices vary. The 'bare tool' version is priced at $219 while the 'tool only' is at $187. Can someone clarify the difference between these two terms? Is there something I'm missing?

Redtoolstore.com often lists tools multiple times at different prices. It might be a bit confusing, but it’s not uncommon. I’ve noticed retailers like Home Depot do similar things too, so just keep an eye out for the best deal!

SmartShopper99: Totally agree! It's tricky navigating through their listings sometimes.

From what I've seen, both 'tool only' and 'bare tool' typically mean the same thing: the item doesn't come with a battery or charger. So, I'd suggest going with the cheaper option. Can’t really go wrong either way since they’re just tool versions!
