Re: Opinions on this "deal" please
I followed someone's advice here and picked the same set up for $199 a couple of weeks ago. Got it from Acme. 20% off and free shipping.

Because we are all addicted to milwaukee tools; farm and fleet is selling Milwaukee bar stools for $49 w/free shipping, I bought some other **** with my order and got a free $10 gift card too, YMMV

Was just there last night and the $10 gift card when spending $100 deal ended last night, and I almost bought that stool in store but didn't, there isn't much padding on the top.
For some reason I just ordered this stool. Then I now see that there isn't much padding??? Uh, my Milwaukee addiction is becoming too much.

They've got a folding "camp chair" that I keep saying I want....
The stools don't do it for me, I use the Craftsmans w a back.
I wouldn't mind the Orca? cooler, though....

Seems like an ok deal. I believe the 1/2" is the gen 1, which can be had at home depot for $160 bare. The light is basically free, I wouldn't buy it stand alone and the grinder can be had at 150 or less. Batteries can be had all day pin eBay for less than $100. Through the 3/8 in for 160 and you could probably save $50 or more with coupons.

Yeah I see it as a $500-525 package.
Northern has that 1/2 impact for $449 with two 5s, M18 stick light, socket set and the boot for $449 with $100 GC.

Yeah, I looked the kit up. It's 2996-23. $600 is pretty good for that and the Grinder. I'll elaborate .... Ebay price for the batteries.
$230 - M18 Fuel 1/2" Gen 2 High Torque ..... $160 - M18 Fuel 3/8" Gen 2 Compact
$110 (2x $55) - (2) 5 AH batteries ..... $30 - Light & Charger ..... $160 - Fuel Grinder
$ 690 total So that's an easy $90 savings without counting the extra tax from a place like Home Depot. With tax the total is close to $750 before any coupons. Some places charge crackhead prices for certain batteries. Such as $44 for a 2 AH 18V battery.

I've noticed Nick either deletes or doesn't approve anything that says his prices aren't spectacular. I've seen a few times where you could literally buy whatever on amazon prime for less than he was selling it for, but if I post that my posts always get deleted a few mins later

Sounds about right. I mean sometimes he has pretty good prices.. I just think a lot of people in that group are so used to getting screwed by Strap-On that it's all ridiculously good pricing to them
Anyways, I'll get off my soap box now. Really ticked me off he deleted my posts though.

If your happy with it but your using full bare tool prices. Knock at least $150 off all 3.
Yea, his black friday or whatever deals were the same as you could get off amazon or tooltopia or something. I left the group shortly after that. I think so many people would just blindly buy whatever he posted. The Milwaukee pen light was great. I wonder how many refunds he had to do. Billed them as rechargeable but no one realized milwaukee doesn't make a rechargeable. In the pic you could even see it said AA.

I still watch the group. Never know when a deal on something I need will pop up. And I have seen some pretty good deals

That was "jason", lol. Well, the only impact wrench I have is the old 2663.
. Myself, I did the 9AH Grinder set. 
This is a heckuva deal at Home Depot The M18 full size hammer drill/hex driver combos with one key have been reduced to 449.00. These include the hex light AND a free tool! I paid 499.00 just a little over a month ago.
The one key has limited value in my application but I did make a super low setting on the driver for working with fragile items, and a slow speed on my drill for stainless drilling (I'm impatient, and hopefully this setting will keep me from burning up bits)
mid torque combo:

This seems like a good deal. Been wanting the 3/8 impact wrench and I don't need the drill but upgrading to Fuel never hurt and more lights and batteries is a good thing. Not the newest versions but meh.
Using ebay pricing:
2654-20 bare tool = $160
2603-20 bare tool = $130
free light
free charger
free (2) batteries (2.0Ah)
save $40
M18 FUEL 3 PIECE COMBO KIT $249 (add to cart to see price)

I don't know if the kit is a good deal or not, but I think you are way overvaluing the 2603 drill. It has 725 in-lbs of torque. The 2704 hammer drill with 1200 in-lbs of torque is available for $110 on ebay.

Fair enough, the 2603 was not very plentiful on ebay. The last bare tool 2603-20 sold on December 11th for $99.95 (new with scratches/marks)
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Milwaukee-2603-20-Fuel-18V-Li-Ion-1-2-034-Cordless-Drill-Driver-Last-One-/272975951652?epid=116751962&hash=item3f8ea27724%3Ag%3AcrQAAOSwSrNaLCsi&nma=true&si=aHqY3YuI%252F4n9yjMJrg7b9XSJXgc%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
Let's call it $90 for the 2603 then:
2654-20 bare tool = $160
2603-20 bare tool = $90
free cordless led worklight
free charger
free (2) batteries (2.0Ah)
Still seems solid?
Its Gen1 Fuel stuff. Us crazy people only want the newest model. The 3/8 impact only has 3 modes versus the 4 on the new one.
Cpo has the 2758-22CT kit which is Gen 2 One Key model with 2.0 batteries for $212, bare tool is $209 alone.

Hello, I have a question. My mother liked my M12 drill and impact driver and wanted something similar for Christmas. I found this one at Home Depot, and the salesman told me this drill/driver combo would do the job of both the drill and impact driver that I have.
M12 FUEL 12-Volt Cordless Brushless 1/2 in. Hammer Drill Kit With Free PACKOUT Case
Did I make a mistake in buying this? Specifically she wants something she can replace wood pickets in her fence with. Does this take normal drill bits? Also I bought a set of the impact driver bits, and I'm thinking I bought the wrong thing there too.....Thanks for any help...

Edit: Sorry Sh40674 I was thinking impact wrench. I would say Ebay but that ratchet is pretty new so deals are uncommon. Only possibly better value is purchasing w/ batteries, perhaps.
`Easyjet, that is a good drill but I would choose an impact driver 1st. It's better for driving screws and won't twist as much as a drill. "Hammer" function is like impacting straight into something, like used for holes into concrete. It's different than the impact motion of an impact driver, which is rotational.

I would actually say if I had to pick only one, I would pick the drill. Impacts are awesome for their brute strength and speed. However, I would pick a drill because:
-it has a chuck and you can use hex bits or regular round shank twist bits.
-you also have a clutch setting, so you can limit your torque. With an impact, you can easily blast too deep into soft or thin wood.
-the M12 Fuel should have plenty of power for wood applications.

Gonna jump on the ratchet as soon as I can.. may be the next ebay coupon. Did the water pump, power steering, tensioner, etc in my Ram.. I don't know if you've ever worked on a ram but the only way is to kneel on the bumper if you're shorter like me. My hands hurt lol
04 2500 here. 6’3” and still have to kneel on bumper for the tough stuff. Just did water pump a few weeks ago. Ratchet is a huge help. 533k on the Hemi but I think I lost a head gasket between 3 and 5. Getting misfires. Have a 12 valve that will go in its place next year sometime. Refurbish the Hemi for the Wrangler.

man, I bet both you guys' knees are just shot.
It *****, I use a pad on the bumper. The worst is doing spark plugs and reaching in the rear, what hurts the most is your belly from leaning over the radiator support lol.
