They are starting with their Black Friday "deals" already. These happen throughout the year anyway but if anyone already has M18 tools or is looking to get into that ecosystem then this is a good way to start.

Milwaukee M18 6.0aH Starter Kit w/ free tool.

They also have a M18 5.O starter kit for $199 with a free M18 tire inflator. I have the M12 inflator and it's been a great little tool for small equipment tires and topping off vehicle tires, sorely tempted to get this deal just for the M18 inflator.

This is a good deal but I'm heavily invested in the WORX platform

you can never have too many batteries around. The 6.0's are real solid. Never hurts to have a backup sill saw too.

I’m was hoping that their Hackzall would be available as the free tool. I’ve been slowly changing to Milwaukee and have been very happy with their tools

I check their daily deals when I think about it. You can get some crazy deals if you check it daily on all kind of different items. Free shipping to your house typically also. In fact power tools are on sale today and blow the bogo deal out the water.

You can find battery converters now. There's really no reason to by completely glued to one anymore. To be fair I don't know how well they all work. But for example I put a Ryobi battery on my wife's Dyson.

I have about 90% Dewalt systems but also M12 and M18 tools. Wish they'd put a deal for a BOGO with the M12 band file. I know Dewalt makes one but the I have an M12 6.0 battery that needs a home and there really isn't much else in the M12 line that I'm interested in or don't have similar in another ecosystem.

I'd be very careful trying to use any kind of adapters with these tools these days. Milwaukee I know have a very sophisticated microcontroller in their batteries and it records everything for charge cycles, how many times it has seen high current draw, temperatures at various usages, and even the specific type of tool it has been connected to. Batteries have been known to brick themselves or through the charger if something goes wrong.
