OK, a few thoughts.

I=E2=80=99ve bought most of my Milwaukee stuff from Northern Tool.  I =
think they are fairly price-controlled, but Northern will often kick in =
a future credit sometimes.

Another brand you might look at is Stihl.  I have a hedge trimmer, and =
it is a joy to use.  I with I had more hedges to trim!  But I don=E2=80=99=
t think you can get Stihl online, you need to go to a local dealer, if =
that is an issue.
