Hi all,

I recently came across a wholesale price for either the 2695-15 or 2696-15 kits for $1500 each. The catch is that I need to buy a minimum of 5 to get this price. If anyone is interested in getting in on this deal with me so that we can all save some money, let me know. I'm in San Jose, CA area if you'd be interested in local pickup.

Here are the Milwaukee links:
http://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/combo-kits/2696-15
http://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/combo-kits/2695-15

Either one retails for $1999 at Home Depot.

That looks like a good deal. Personally, I'd only be in for a smaller kit in fuel version. Hope you get enough guys.

If that site is legit, I would avoid it. They are selling "used" batteries that look new. After reading what little reviews I could, seems they are returns or defective ones.

Can you find a way to drop $7500? You could probably end up reselling the other tools and end up with a free set, keeping ten batteries and some cash in your hands. Most of the tools are not high dollar ones, but the SDS hammer drill and the bandsaw will bring in probably a third of each kit's price.

Alibaba/Aliexpress

I buy counterfeit stuff off there all time on purpose. It is usually Strider or Spyderco knives and I do comparison videos against the real deal knife. If you buy something off there with a brand name, keep in mind it IS FAKE and in this instance will be poor quality I am certain.

Haha I looked on Alibaba and saw the guy with the $300-500 price point. The phone number shows up as being in England, address is a house in Rhode Island, and the contact information routes to China and asks you to go outside Alibaba for all communication. If that doesn't look like a scam, I don't know what does...I wouldn't touch that with a ten-foot pole!

I buy sports jersey on Alibaba for friends all the time. I know they aren't real, but they look to be a much higher quality than the "replica" stuff you can buy from proshops and are hardly ever more than $20-30.

I would never buy tools from them though lol

i purchased a few things on aliexpress.com , same concept, buy knockoff stuff for reasonable price without the name markup.

so far no bad eggs. there is no telling what some stuff is though, you might get tools with no branding in milwaukee red that have homemade batteries with milwaukee stickers on them. or you could get the real thing, they are made in china after all, somewhere , somebody is buying stuff wholesale that needs get out of the factory

You never get the real thing.

However, some knock offs are extremely well made.

I have never got any hand tools or power tools there but have bought quite a few knives and sharpening setups. The sharpening knock offs and stones are some bad and some just ok. A few of the knives have been spectacular Spyderco knock offs. Most are not Spyderco standard at all though. Or Strider, or Cold Steel.

The fit and finish is not there, the materials are substandard, etc. I suspect that you will see that the Milwaukkee knock offs would have poor switches, poor quality resin for the shells and very poor motors and metallurgy.

Now if you go up a notch or two in price with Aliexpress(don't buy the bottom tier price), there are some spectacularly well made things that are very close and sometimes better than the real thing. The metallurgy for knife steel will always be an unknown however.

Again, folks, the bulk deal I'm suggesting has nothing to do with Alibaba/AliExpress. I'm hard on my tools and wouldn't want knock-off quality either. Heck, I usually break the name brands...

I purchased a knife via alibaba that retails for 350 got a clone 18 dollars delivered. I was well made functioned well too. I would not use it on duty but for a second knife it's fine. You guys have to remember all of Milwaukee's tools are made in China. There are diffrent factories that make the same product for them at the same time. Same molds and parts some might not pass quality control and are factory seconds. Or the factory might have stopped supplying Milwaukee tools. My brother in law and sister were in Shanghai China back in 2008 he said they have factories that will build you something in high grade mid grade or low grade with diffrent prices. So who is to say that that stuff will be any diffrent from the regular Chinese Milwaukee tools.

Yea it's a chance, a 200 dollar chance!!! Who's going to be the first to take the plunge?
