Given it can start a circular saw, etc, I'm guessing the inverter specs are quite high. While it could replace a small genset on a site, I bet with 2 batteries it will cost an order of magnitude more than said generator.
Still, nice product, they'll sell them no dramas. Will be interesting to see what they end up costing here in Aus if/when they make it. Based on a 5Ah Milwaukee battery costing around $130 here, I would expect each of the batteries in this thing to be about $2K each - plus the inverter.
Will see.
As they aren't actually released yet it's a little hard to tell, but one store in the US is taking pre-orders on the smaller of the MX at around $350. That's $100 more than their price for the M18 12 amp hour, so not really that bad. I can't seem to find a price for the bigger MX.
FYI, the 12 amp hour jobbie is $230 here at the red tool shop, so it's actually cheaper here than there, which is weird.
