That's the perfect Christmas time tool for many families after Christmas Eve dinner. Nuts were something always on the table after dinner on Christmas Eve when I was growing up.
It's a really nice quality tool. When I was 25 I would have bought one.
Devious cop on my lunch break 
An early Christmas present to myself
Walked out of HD with it for $97.44, beats the $179 + tax it would normally be
Enjoy the HD Milwaukee Hack while it lasts
Maybe I'll list my M12 with a 2.0 battery, see if someone wants a good deal on it, might be able to close the gap

This popped up for $120 locally. In a case of hope-springs-eternal and "aim high" I thought maybe one day I could be as cool as @The Critic since he's been pressure bleeding every vehicle he sees these days. I know this isn't actually possible but I figure it's good to have goals....
In all seriousness I was going to pass until I watched SMA's vid

Came with a handful of adapters including some homebrew monstrosity far right -- looks like maybe for old GM all-metal reservoirs?View attachment 193756

Replace the diaphragm before you use it. If the diaphragm is old and leaky, you will aerate the fluid.
I wondered about this too. Thanks!
You do this by capitalizing on the way HD structures it's free tool bundles
I got lucky on this one, I ordered in the app on the way to the store, cancelled the battery bundle in the app 2 minutes after ordering
That way I never pay for the battery, so I don't have to return it
I walked in to pickup, they handed me my Christmas present
There's nothing illegal or immoral about it IMO
It's their policies that let you do this
I wonder how much longer it'll last
Why would I buy on eBay/LetGo/Craigslist for more and not have a receipt/warranty
$97.44 is a notable savings on ~$195
Unless you need the batteries/charger
Happy hunting

The company I worked for was adamant that knives would not be used for anything . They bought all sorts of different cable strippers but nothing ever worked to my liking . I perfected my technique using a knife with a sheepsfoot blade and that's what I used until I retired . It's a personal choice though . Whatever works for you .
I‘m such a sucker for Snap-On pliers.
Very nice!
You really don’t know till you have a few pair. They are so very good
I bought and tried this AORRZER set, unfortunately their locking mechanism is unreliable and only works half the time. Its going back. I have a LockNLube XL coming today.

At that price, I would have bought the two batteries and charger, and been very happy…
